HEADS RENT
INQUIRY
Lawyer Named by Senate
Group to Push Investigation;
James Ring to Be His Aide

Oscar H. Brinkman, ap-
pointed late yesterday as spe-
cial Observation-Disclosures of
the Senate District subcommit-
tee to investigate rentals in
the Capital, and James Ring,
clerk to the subcommittee, to-
day were clothed with full
authority to assemble rental
data pending the next meeting
of the inquiry group on
August 20.
They are delegated to go into
the records of landlords and
rental agents in Washington to
ascertain whether The rent scale
here is equitable.
Must Open Books
Senator William H. King (D)
Utah, acting subcommittee chair
man, announced that if there is
any recalcitrancy on the part of
anyone dealing in real estate
rentals the recalcitrant, under
the broad terms of the Senate
resolution, will be hailed before
the subcommittee.
In an informal and Joint state
ment made after yesterdays late
meeting Senator King and
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
New York. said:
"We think the rental situa-
tiOn here needs a real investiga-
tiOn and that is what we are
going to have. We intend to
stay on the job and Senator
Capper, District committee
chairman, will return soon from
Kansas to aid us. This mid.
summer may well be spent by
us in delving into rental facts.
START AT ONCE
1--WE want all sorts of in
formation from real estate men
as well as tenants who say
they are Overcharged. 1t has
come to our notice particularly
that there is a system of
"usury" here; meaning large
commissions for floating or
renewing real estate trusts on
apartments and dwellings.
MeSSrS. Brinkman and Ring
will get on this subject immed-
lately"
Acting Chairman King de-
scribed as "quite unsatisfactory
and deficient" the preliminary re-
port to the subcommittee of the
United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics which had been re-
quested. on July 90, to submit
promptly to the Senate investiga-
tors data covering building costs
IN Washington and other cities
and also living costs.
The District Commissioners
wrote the subcommittee yester.
day that they we're getting up all
the information requested from
the Municipal Building.
Labor Data Ancient
AS to the preliminary report of
OF the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Senator King said:
"They have sent up four
pamphlets and they are rather
out of date. We want and will
insist upon data brought up
to the moment. The District
Commissioners report progress
on the assembling of infOrma-
tiOn we asked from them, and
that is satisfactory, but the
Labor Statistics Bureau should
come through in better form.
If rents are out of line here, and
Senator Copeland and myself
believe they are, we intend to
find it out and we are directing
the legislative clerks of the
Senate to begin the draft of a
bill to cure such ills, including
uSury."

yard, or it is plain filet crochet, which
thing" Here is something no one could
have had. 1t is new, and there Is a
pattern especially designed for readers
of this paper.
Filet embroidery is so easy to do that
no one need hesitate to make it. The
foundation is either netted filet lace
mesh, which can be purchased by the
yard. or it is plain fllet crochet which
the woman can make herself. The price
of the netted foundation is not high.
It varies from hand-knotted fllet to
machine-made net in square mesh. The
filet crochet foundation consists of mesh
entirely of open-work, minus pattern.
1t should be crocheted in correct size
and shape following the pattern direc-
tions.
Since these tables are not large for
armchairs, the amount of crocheting
for a cover is small. If the end taSle is
large use plain linen for the main por-
tion and use two of the fllet embroid-
cred pieces one at each end of the
cover. Such use is made of the work
when the cover is designed for refec-
tory dining table. Two sections Joined
through the center form a cover for a
round table or for centerpiece.
The embroidery is worked through
whichever foundation is selected, either
the netted or the crocheted. 1t consists
simply of weaving colored threads over
and under the bars of the mesh. When
starting a thread of colored medium
(mercerized cotton, linen or yarn) make
buttonhole stitch about the bar where
the pattern indicates the embroidery
begins. Leave an end long enough to be
covered and further secured thus by the
weaving stitches. Finish a color in the
same way with a buttonhole stitch and
weave the end OF the medium through
the stitches already taken, thus con-
cealing it,
Filet weaving is one of the antique
needle lace methods. 1t has been prac-
ticed for generations. The novelty OF
the idea presented today is in the
choice old stitchery worked in colors.
The pattern designed for readers is
on classic lines. 1t comes with full
directions for making, and a color
chart showing exactly how to use the
colors to bring out the beauty of the
design. The work can be developed in
also on the pictorial pattern sheet con-

size is correct for end or arm tables,
which size can be increased or dimin-
ished merely by the use of fine or
coarse mesh filet foundation, either
netted or crocheted Various uses fol-
the pattern will be suggested. Any one
wishing the pattern can get it by send
ing 10 cents and a addressed en-
velope, with request directed to Lydia
lie Baron Walker, care Of The Star.
