nent relators disclosed today.
 Relators declared unanimously that the supply of rents here was far below what is generally recog- nized as normal. Any apartments in fairly good condition can be rented at prices which would have been regarded as exorbitant year ago.
 According to Charles Rosengar- ten, manager of the Charles Ro- sengarten Company, desirable apartments have been largely ab- sorbed in recent months, with a special demand for those of the smaller type. MT. Rosengarten de- scribed the shortage as being somewhat acute"
 New Families Here
 He attributes it largely to the fact that there has been consid- erable increase in the number of new families in the city as the re- suit of location in Waterbury of several new factories recently. The supply of rents here, he said, is about 10 per cent less than the standard accepted by dealers as normal.
 Officials at the Hutchinson and Company and at the Martin J. McEvoy company also reports of the shortage.
 At the office of D. A. Harrington and Sons particular demand for three and four room apartments was reported. Young couples re- gently married seem to be unan- imously seeking the smaller rents, ranging in price from s15 to $22 1t was said.
 ''The shortage Is generally recog. nized by relators everywhere" said one of the dealers. T wouldn't go so far as to state that 1t means the end of the depression, but it cer- tainly may be regarded as an in- dication of better times. To the of factors already outlined as creating the situation may be added an improvement in general conditions which is def- mite, however small"

What Police Need

What police need is help and less hammering
No police force matter how good pay strict atten
on to the business of keeping the criminals down if it is
stanty harassed by destructive interference.
Under this raspng influence and the criticism which has
had the police the spot for the last few months every
police officer in the District of Columbia has had his AT
TENTION DIVERTED FROM HIS DUTY TO THE
CHANCES OF BEING HAULED UP ON THE CARPET
While he has his mind that sort of thing the
policeman hardly be blamed for thinking something
beside his police duty.
If there is anything that the Congressional crime nvest
cation has proved it that the NATIONAL CAPITAL P0-
LICE FORCE IS UNDERMANNED that there are bad spots
in its organization and that the likely be think
ing of political influences rather than efficiency
There not enough policemen in Washington to police
the city properly.
Too many special details required work that takes
from the primary business of the force which pro-
tect half million residents and continuous stream of Wis
itors, from the criminal element.
From the business of the authorities should be
increase the police force and bring to state Of efficiency
commensurate with capital city which has long ago out
grown its small town swadng clothes and stepped out into
the Big League.
No criminal organization has chance against fast work
ing, well trained and properly manned police force
And the other hand undermined tery police force
has chance against small time criminal element.
IT IS TIME THAT WAsHINGTON's POLICE FORCE
WAS REINFORCED AND MADE EQUAL TO ITS JOB
