There IS Relief!

A harmless way to stop pain. That really
STOPS it. How long they looked for
something like No-Ake tablets! A form
of help that cannot form habit.
No need, now, to bear headache"un-
til you can't stand it, Neuralgia, neuritis;
those pains no remedy seems to reach;
they succumb quickly to the soothing in
Auence of No-Ake! Try it when nervous,
or nights you can't sleep; it acts in ff-
teen minutes!
When sick, see doctor. But to end
pain-slight or serious-there's No-Ake.
The druggist sells it readily, for he knows
it's perfectly harmless.

AGAINST
 RACE EXHIBITION
Boston A. A. U. Official Against
 Edwin Wide's Speciality

New York, Feb. Re-A protest against the appearance of Edwin Wide, Swedish middle distance star in a special event at the national indoor championships of the Ana teur union in Madison Square Gar den, Feb. 2S. has been lodged with the A. A. L., by Albert Geiger. of Boston, on the eve of Wide's first American appearance at the New ark A. c. games In Newark, N. J., tonight. The Swedish schoolmaster, conqueror of Paavo Nurmi. is sched- uled to race from scratch in a D. 500 yard handicap test against a mediocre field.
 Geirger. chairman of the mem- bership committee of the New Eng land A. A. L.. opposed Wide's run. ming at the national championships unless he is willing to enter the same as other athletes in the com petitions" The idea of exhibition races should be, in my opinion. eliminated"
 Secretary Frederick W. Rubien. in answering the communication said that no protest had been received from the N. F. A. A. r., as a body although authorities there were re- ported yesterday as planning to pro test Wide's appearance in any Amer ican competition.
 "I can only attribute the protest of Geigcr to a misunderstanding of the nature of the competition in which 1t is planned to have Wide participate" Rubien said. ''There never was any intention of having Wide engage in an exhibition. He consented 10 race four rivals at a distance suitable to his convenience.
 "We decided to have him appear in championship event because it is unreasonable to expect him to run for a title when he might not be in shape for race against the caliber of opponents he would meet. He could not be expected 70 agree to run now against men like Lloyd Hahn, of the B. A. A., at q mile or Willie Ritola and Leo Lermo ond, at two miles"

Workers VIII Get Raw
End, Prediction

The State Housing Commission met
at the Flatiron Building yesterday
afternoon, but refused to make public
its decisions. It is predicted that it
will oppose the extension of the rent
emergency laws which expire June ].
The expiration Of the rent emer-
gency law will leave New York work
ers TO the tender mercies of their
landlords, since the law regulates
apartments where the rents are $40
per room or less.
If the commission recommends the
extension Of the emergency statutes,
which is regarded as improbable, it
will. recommend their application to
flats renting at $40 room per month
or less. Most workers in New York
are compelled to pay more than SO.
Either of the decisions of The State
Housing Commission will therefore
leave the mass of New York workers
without protection.

SLUMS FILLED
BY RATS, BUGS,
SAvANT ADMITS
He Defends Landlords
Just the Same

Professor Charles Gray Shaw,
secretary of the National Housing
Committee, revealed his affiliation
with the landlords trust in state
ment issued Yesterday in which he
set forth a claim that the extension
of the emergency rent laws cannot
cone with the situation in the slums.
In en- endeavor TO aid the landlords
in climbing out from under" Prof
Shaw asserted that those who are
forced to live in the sordid quarters
of the slums are not "gouged by the
landlord half as much as they are
gnawed by the conditions" under
which they must live.
A recent survey conducted by this
newspaper gives the lie to the pro-
fessor's statement that the Stun land
lords do not gouge their tenants. and
that rooms are procurable for 81 and
SIS room. The survey revealed that
rooms cost 50 and $40, even in the
most disreputable districts.
Filled With Vermin.
A significant portion of Prof
Shaw's statement depicts conditions
in the slums that prove the accuracy
of The DAILY WORKER survey.
All sorts of vermin and rodents, he
says, combine with lack of repair to
make the living conditions of the poor
unbearabla.
"The extension of the rent laws, "
Shaw continues, "has it's value. but
cannot relieve the situation which de-
mands suitable building laws"
Municipal housing" he said,
"slong with other municipal enter
prises, seems to be the only adequate
measure to contend with such a vast
and deep situation. The city could go
into the housing business with the
prospect of substantial earning power,
and would be assured that housing
was not bad business venture after
ALL"
