Innocent Suffer
Mrs. Baldwin said:
"Women voters are constantly
being shocked by authenticated
reports of lives lost, sight i'm
paired, or other serious injuries
suffered because of continued
sale and use of dangerous cos
metics. We are convinced we
are spending many times the
sum we should have to, just be-
cause we do not know the in
gradients of the product.
"We know that because Of
false advertising, misleading d.
rectionS for use of drugs on the
label or in advertising, that
permanent injury, even death,
may result for innocent users.
Under such conditions, women
in a constantly increasing num-
Der and with more and more
Impotence, are asking whats
holding uD action on the food
and drug bill?'"
Women throughout the country
are puzzled and indignant" con-
corning the apparent stalemate

ELLENBOG GEN
CITES BOOSTS
IN CHARGES
Approval of Measure By
House Predicted Despite
Sen. Kings Opposition

Representatives of Government
employees, labor interests, real es-
tate operators, and civic organiza.
tions packed the House District
Committee room today at the
hearings on the Ellenbogen bill to
create a rent commission for the
District.
Since the full committee already
has approved the bill, it was evil
dent from the questions fired at
the first three witnesses by Repre-
sentatives Henry Ellenbogen CD
Of Pennsylvania, w. Sterling Cole
(R0 of New York, and Reuben T.
Wood CD of Missouri, composing
the subcommittee in charge of the
hearings, that determined ef-
fort will be made by the House to
set up the commission to correct
whatever evils exist.
King Opposes Plan
This action seems imminent
despite the opposition to the pro-
posal voiced today by Senator
William H. King 3D. of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, who declares no rent
emergency exists.
Senator Kings conclusions are
in direct conflict with the testi-
mony of the first three witnesses
at the hearings today.
James Ring, who conducted q
rent survey of the Public Utilities
Commission; C. M. Naples, chair
man of the rent committee Of the
Central Labor Union; and Robert
M. Seminar, chairman of the
subcommittee on research of the
rent committee of the labor
union, all testified that an emer-
gency exists and that a commits
sion to counterfeit its effects is
necessary.
Rent Increases Forecast
In the midst of the testimony
of Mr.. Naples, Representative FL
lenbogen caused a stir when he
declared he had in his possession
several letters from landlords
stating that rents would be raised
because the cuts in Government
employees salaries had been elirni-
mated. Mr.. Naples was telling the
committee of several cases in
which rents had been raised as
high as 33 per cent. Representa-
tive Ellenbogen interrupted:
"Have you any letters from
landlords saying that the rents
have been raised because the
deductions in Government saIa-
ries have been eliminated? I
have quite a few which I expect
to put into the record"
At the opening of the hearing
Mr.. Ring gave a picture of the
rise of apartment houses in the
District. with statistics on the
housing shortage in Washington
during the war. He testified that
a distinct shortage of housing
exists in the District today. He
said:
AHcIc Is now very large
number of high-cOst apartment
houses in the District which
yield fair returns on their rem.
tails, but the rents are too much
fer the people to pay, and there
is an under-supply of low-cOst
housing"
Questioned by Representative
Wood, Mr.. Ring continued:
81 do think there is a need
for an agency where disputes
between tenants and landlords
can be adjudicated.

AS Science Sees 1t
The X-Rdv.
q the large number Of waves

A MoNo the large number Of waves
= which are constantly rippling and
stirring through the ether everywhere
about us, there is one ray, discovered
within fairly recent years, which Is
similar TO q light ray, save that 1t Is
invisible and has strange powers.
A scientist named Roentsen dis
covered these rays, and because OF
their rather mysterious qualities he
called them x-rays. Since his expert
ments with them, we have learned to
use many Of their extraordinary pow
ers for the benefit Of mankind.
The x-ray, like the ultraviolet rays,
is invisible. It's most useful quality
to man Is its power Of penetration, for
unlike light rays, It often penetrates
through wood and rubber and other
solid substances.
But its power of penetration de-
pends on the length Of its wave, which
varies somewhat Its wave length Is
always shorter than that Of violet
light, which Is the shortest Of all light
waves. And 1t is shorter than that Of
the still shorter ultraviolet rays.
But even so, the waves Of X-rays
are OF different lengths. Some Of
them are powerful enough to pene-
trate an inch of steel, while others are
blocked by q short space Of air.
One way Of seeing these invisible
rays is by means Of a certain chemical
called barium -platino-cyanide. The
X-rays have the capacity of making
this chemical glow and q screen COW

Ronnie demanded. "How did we
know it was you? We saw somebody
climbing in the upstairs window and
were afraid that Emily was in dan

Hicky got stiff1y to his feet. "And
when you birds rushed upstairs
thought you were after Emily, SO
jumped you" he said
Emily was still laughing, but now
she looked sternly at Hicky.
But what were you doing out
here?" she said. "I'll bet you came
here to try to frighten me, George
Hickmanl"
"Oh, no, Emily" Hicky protested
earnestly. 81 just got to thinking
about it tonight, and when thought
of you staying down here in this
place alone-well, was afraid some
thing might happen to you. So
parked my car back up in the woods.
and stole down to see that every
thing was all right. The house
seemed deserted and I thought maybe
you hadn't come yet. But to make
sure climbed up the porch and

Heliograph for Sun Signaling
BY RAY J. MARIAN.

CIGNALING and sending messages
~ to your friend across the street
or across an open field half a mile
wide is easy with a heliograph. The
Army Signal Corps uses f1aSheS OF
sunlight to send messages. The suns
rays are caught on a mirror ana are
then reflected on shutter, Whlcn can
be opened and closed with key 10
make dots and dashes.
You can make heliograph in a
couple of hours. Get piece OF mir
ror about four or five inches square
and mount it in frame between TWO
uprights nailed to cross bar base.
Attach the mirror frame to each up
right with only one nail on each slde'
so the mirror can be swung up or
down. Attach the center OF the cross
bar to a wide board, which Is USED
for the regular base of the completed
heliograph.
The cross bar base is attached to
the large base with only one nall,
driven in the exact center OF the
cross bar, SO the entirc mirror frame
and support can be turned from right

pivots for the mirror frame you can
turn the mirror at practically any
angle to reflect the suns rays to the
front of the large base board where
the shutter Is attached.
To make the shutter you will neeo
four pieces Of by for outer frame,
three pieces of thin wood for shut
tiers, a long stick for key and some
string, tacks and q rubber band.
Make the outer frame first, attach
ing it to the front end Of the large
base board. Then cut the thin wood
shutters to fit loosely inside the
frame, fastening them so they over
lap each other, using only one nail on
each side of the frame for each shut
ter blade. These nails must be driven
in the uprights so they will hold the
shutter blade very close to the top
edge. This allows the shutter blades
to hang downward. Now tack one end
of a rubber band to the base board
and the other end to the center OF
the lower shutter blade. Attach the
key stick in back Of the shutter frame
with a tiny hinge or q piece OF
leather for a hinge.

Hicky was looking down at her in
amazement. "They aren't?" he de-

Caring for Pets

YOUR Pet Editor had a mighty
interesting interview just few
days ago with woman who travels
all over the country promoting kind

Miss Gilbert represents the Amer

work Is centered around that tenet Of
all good sportsmen, BE kind to those
weaker than yourself!" And it doesn't
apply solely to animals, either. Birds
and fish are included, and reptiles. too.
I suppose, although Miss Gilbert didn't
mention these last-named ones.

planned, may mean weaker physically
or mentally. You wouldn't say that

Close Planting Aids.

SEvERAL years Of research into the
question of the proper method
of growing sugar beets have indicated
that former practices were wrong. In
order to improve the crop growers
set their individual plants at least
a foot apart on the mistaken theory
that the individuals would have Q
better chance to grow and mature.
Tests have indicated, beyond O
doubt, that closer placing Of the
plants is the better practice, the
beets coming more quickly to ma
turity and at the same time pro-
ducing more sugar. Beets placed
eight inches apart produce about 20
per cent more crop per acre.

when X-rays are directed on 1t. So
an object which is placed between the
source of the x-rays and the screen,
or Horoscope, as it is called, casts a
shadow on the luminous screen IL the
X-rays cannot penetrate through it.
1t is easy to understand how useful
this microscope Is In medical work.
BY means of these penetrating rays
and this glowing screen a patient can
often see for himself some congestion
in his lungs or some broken bone In
his hand or foot. They rays penetrate
the flesh. but cast deeper shadow
where the congestion or the bone
blocks them.

1t may be that your pets are not
as healthy as they should be, or are

you are not kind enough to them.
Miss Gilbert told of certain Mother
Superior she knew. The latter was
in control Of a large parochial school
in Vermont where the students board
ed at the school Cows were kept, and
the man who was in charge Of them
always spoke to them in a loud voice,
and roughly. Now, this man may not
have been actually tough, but he
gave the COWS the impression that he
was. Milk pals were only half full.
The Mother Superior desired more
milk from those COWS. She studied the
situation. and finally she discharged
the dalryman, replacing him with q
man who spoke softly and whose ways
were slow and gentle. In a few weeks
the milk pals were full to the top.

But Dinah couldn't stop laughing
