Among the facts he discovered about
the budding entertainers:
That Mary Day, the 23-year-old
ballet dancer of the modernistic num-
Der, is so devoted to the art she says
the greatest thrill in her career came
when she saw the curtain rise on
the sylphides of the Monte Carlo
Ballet. Her ambition, currently, is to
join that group.
That James Howard, the ever-so-
tall pianist of the Washboard Boys,
says piano playing is his hobby, his
business and his goal. He wants
most of all Ito be entertaining" to
audiences, and got a head start in
life by growing long after others had
stopped. His altitude is greater than
you think.
That the girls in the chorus line
name horseback riding as their fav-
orite sport more than any other
Among them Marjorie Mitchell, who
works in the skit with the Fox uShers,
and hopes to ride right on into the

That George Washington University

been his first newspaper write-up; his

the District are governed by the
unfailing law of supply and de-
mand.
Suit Every Income
This being the case, there is no
occasion for a tenant to pay high
rents when he has a wide choice
of properties from which to
choose. There is no acute housing
shortage in the District, Mr.
Houghton says, and homes are
available to suit every income.
Those tenants who occupy III
sanitary houses and are on the re-
lief rolls, can blame the relief
agencies who pay their rents,
rather than the landlord who
makes the charge, he says, but the
ordinary run of rooming house
keeper maintains a clean shelter
for her tenants and the charge is
not incommenSurate with the SerV-
ice furnished.
There are many who will agree
with Mr.. Houghton that washing
ton must expect to find rents
somewhat higher than elsewhere.
In this connection the real estate
board president says;
Rentals in this city may be
a little higher than in other
sections of the country; but
when you stop to think that
Washington, undisturbed by in
dustrial strife and with a con-
tinued payroll, is rather an ex-
ception, it is natural to assume
that rentals should not have
dropped to the very low point
here they have elsewhere.
"Shelter, food and clothing
are the necessities of life-One
no more than the Other-but
the landlord seems to stand
more than his share of criticism
if there is a slight increase to
him in the readjuStment."
