the view Of defeating the Whaley
Rent Bill, Senator L. Heisler Ball,
chairman Of the joint subcommit-
tee on the rent situation, charged
today.
Evidence that the lobby has
about gained its maximum momen-
tum is evidenced in the stacks Of

Of Congress in general, are re-
ceiving from their home States.

mainder OF the work on the meas

largely Of a routine character.

posed permanent rent control law,
Mr.. Petty stated he was confident
that the national legislators would

THEM DAYS is GONE"

There IL a time can remember
When / was popular with the girls;
In fact, they said I was pretty
And raved about my curls;
They would kiss me quite often
In spite of all I could do,
/ can taste their kisses yet,
As sweet as the morning dew.
They would take me in their arms
And call me the dearest thlngO,
And the way they talked you'd think
was an angel without wings;
And, believe me, In those days
was q regular male arrogant,
For nothing / said got me In bad,
was just q chubby infant:

 General Miles married Miss Mary HOyt Sherman, neice of the famous Civil War leader, in 1868, while serv- ing with western troops. Two child ren, son and daughter were born to them. The son, Colonel Sherman Miles, established an enyiable record in the World War, and was later sent to Constantinople as a observer for the United States when the Turkish army defeataed the Greeks in 1922 and reentered Europe. The daughter, Cecelie Sherman Miles, married Col onel Samuel Reber, U. s. A.
 General Miles survived his wife many years, preserving his great vi- tality through his advancing years. His carriage was erect, his eyes re- mained clear and ever sparkling with humor, and his memory, retained the clearness of his youthful days.
 In recent years much of his time was devoted to golf and walking. Al most every day tn eweather was fair he could be found on the public links along the Potomac, or at one of the country clubs in the vicinity of Washington.
