RENT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON

Since the war Washington has been a very much overcrowded city. Unlike most other American cities. congestion has not been greatly eliminated in Washington the past five years, and an emergency rent commission has exercised its sway since that time to prevent unscru- pulous landlords from taking ad- vantage of the situation. Through the operation of federal control. rents in Washington have been kept at a level consistent with pub lie interest -e or at level not too high for government officials and employees to pay.
 The emergency control law in the District of Columbia is to end this spring. and a horizontal and per- pendicular increase of rents has been looked for. With the govern ments hand off the throttle, many landlords have planned to greatly increase the renting c h a s es throughout the entire city of Wash ington, on the principle Of making the lowly tenant pay as much as the traffic will bear.
 But suddenly comes the informa- tion that President Coolidge wants a permanent rent commission cre- atcd for the District of Columbia, and both branches of Congress are similarly minded. Most senators and congressman pay high rents for liV- ing quarters in Washington, and they understand the tenants woes perfectly, being tenants themselves. Moreover, the thousands of govern ment employees would be greatly inconyenicnced financially if rents were to increase, and Congress fully realizes it would have maJor problem on it's hands through de- mands for more pay should rent ln- crcases be permitted.
 But the real estate interests point with alarm to any permanent rent control commission for the District of Columbia; it would be unwar- ranted interference with business they declare. and might serve as a models for other states having siml- lar problems. Commissions to con- trol railroad rates, utility rates ana other rates may have some justice in their makeup, but a commlssloh to control rents - never
 The real estate men have been descending upon Washington In large numbers, endeavoring to thrust their point of view upon the members of Congress, Reports rom Washington. however are that con gressmen are adamant about it, and the President himself, who is credited with having stimulated the preparation of rent commission bill, cannot be swerved from his purpose The President was a rent payer in a house at Northampton, Mass, and has never been a land lord. The other day real estate dealer got an audience with him and learned 10 his dismay that the President had very strong views about the matter and that he would see that the rent commission was established in due course.
 Realty men regard the contem- plated action of the President and Congress as a national calamity. But so did railroad companies once upon time regard rate fixing com missions.
 With the President and Congress feeling as they do about it, with the rcnt-paying population of Washing ton backing them up to a man. and conditions being what they are, right or wrong it seems that the permanent commission will be cs- abolished.

PROGRESS IS MADE
IN CURING ANEM|A
New Treatment Has Effect in
Cases CT Hitherto Hope

Pr the 4 =oclsted Press.

PITTSBURGH. November G.--Dr.
Frederick NJ. Allen, director Of the
PsychiatriC Institute of MoriiStOND.
y J.. in an address before the -hlle-
Sheny County Medical Society ester
day reported encoura ging results of
new treatment for pernicious anemia,
generally considered a virtually hope
less disease.
DR.. Aliens theory is that pernicious
anemia belongs to the group of dis
eases having TO do with the aSsimila-
ton by the body of nutriment, like
diabetes and kidney diseases. the
cause is conceived TO be some Intec-
ton. which has damaged the blood
forming organs, chief of which is the
hone marrow, and upset the normal
equilibrium between blood-formatlon
and blood destruction. The principal
organism causing the trouble Is sup
posed to he a Notwithstanding puS
germ. The first step in treatment
consists in locating and removing sur
CiCally the focus of infection, believed
in many cases to be in the teeth. The
gall bladder is thought also 10 he
seat of infection in some cases.
4 second phase of the treatment IS
a diet planned to favor survival of the
red blood corpuscles. DR.. Allen said
this result seemed to have been ac-
Comnlished III a large number Of
cases by the strict regulation of some
of the mineral salts in the diet.
Another departure is the elimina-
tiOn of blood transfusions and all the
drugs and other forms of treatment
formerly employed, with rare eXcep-
tIons, in emergencies.
Dr.. Allen said that in a large series

Gov. Smith and Mayor Hylan.

Gov. Alfred E. Smith Of New York
is busy man these days going over
the large number Of bills left upon his

lature, while likewise keeping warm

that life in America, instead Of being
one vast hustle, is one superb holiday.
Mr.. Buchan told a London audience
that many Of his preconceived ideas
Of the American race Gt is not known
in just what sense he used the word
"race'D had proven to be fallacious;
that he had never found SO many ex.
ponents of elegant leisure as in the
United States.
Just what sort Of people the emil
nent Briton visited and observed Is
not stated. There exist over here
colonies and institutions and situa-
uons wherein people have nothing TO
do, and do it, but. while Americans
do not work quite as long or as hard
as did their ancestors, and are grad
ually learning to play, and play some
what gracefully, they are still accus-
toned to look upon themselves as
fairly busy persons.
This observer shocks transatlantic
feelings in two ways; he paints his
recent hosts as not only having lei
sure, but elegant leisure, and as being
superior in this respect to the Eng
lish. The latter is what hurts most.
Bang! goes another cherished ideal.
VIII the novel-writer Of the future
have to invent a hero who, brought
up in the hectic, time-clock- punching,
no-time- -out-for-tea atmosphere Of
Merry England, goes to America to
find himself out Of place, embarrassed
and family disgusted with it's ele-
gantly-leisured, graceful do-nothings?
Mr.. Buchan's characterization is
reminiscent of the situation in which
man, coming suddenly on an unex-
pected mirror, falls to recognize him
self. If the mirror is little cracked
that makes it harder.

Schools Fire Hazard.

Grounds for qualification exist in
that portion of the annual report Of
the fire marshaTs office, recently laid
before the Commissioners, which an
nounceS that fire-hazard conditions in
the various school buildings have been
found this year to be much better
than on previous inspection. But the
succeeding statement that there still
remains room for improvement calls
for action.
The report points out in detail and
specification the conditions demanding
a remedy. s.
One Of these is the practice of stor-
ing surplus and discarded furniture.
discarded supplies, waste paper, trash
and other conbustible material in the
school Easements. These. as had been
previously recommended, should be
stored in one or more central buildings.
That the old Potomac Building, now
being used as a storage house, could
accommodate some Of it is suggested.
It is found that while the storing of
infammable materials under the stair
way has generally been discontinued,
at some Of the schools the practice is
still persisted in. The report per-
tinently points out that while the
staarways are fireproof, they are not
snnokeproof. Special attention was
called to the handling of waste paper.
and 1t is noted that two recent fires in
the schools are attributed to unwise
practices in this everyday routine.
The fire marshals office has pre.
viously made recommendations on this
subject, and now repeats them. With
the example of the menace created as
( presented in two recent fires. it should
not take long to reach action upon
this reiterated Suggestion. The new
appropriation for repairs for schools is
S450,OOO, whereas in former years il
has. been only $500 900, so there can be
less complaint of lack of funds. Con.
ditions should be at once adjusted to
meet every recommendation of the
marshal.
