Wheaton Gazette: Those who de-
spair OF the young people, saying,
What are our young people coming
to-" should remember that oldsters
have been making similar remarks
for thousands of years but somehow
or other the next generation seems
to survive. AS a matter of fact, it is
probably true that each generation
does little better than the pre-
ceding one.

prominent people, who had asked
him to intervene for appeasement,
the President is reported to have

children and grandchildren would
suffer obliteration from the world.
But my concern must be adjudged
the greater. My children and grand

 So far Burly hasn't made any friends. He lunges at all animals dogs, cats or cattle. Faubel, who house-broke him in three nights, Is the only person who handles him. Even he is cautious and says 1t would be dangerous for anyone else to attempt to pet Burly.

 Burly will become part of an act with Faubel's two 150-pound St. Bernards, Lady and Sandy, Burly, 75-pound animal that looks like German police dog, has shown only hatred for them. -'

THE LAST OF THREE STORIES
And Work Cut Into Churchs -Leisurey Family Life

Diana, also married, is doing war work. And Randolph Is in the army, while l8-year-old Mary recently made her first speed to help raise money for British re- lief.
 Which means that the running of the Churchill household Is no longer the great problem of past years to Mrs. Curchill. But Ms. Churchill, like so many millions of other mothers, has resigned herself to the fact the children have grown up. So today all the energy and devotion which she possesses Is lavised exclusively on Winston, except when the children rush down to the country for Q quick visit.
 TRACK OF A
 TIRELESS WORKER
 Though Churchill no longer plays polo, which he likes immensely, or plays piquet or backgammon, which he does indifferently, he still takes Q keen pride in his large collection of swans and ducks. He now has many rare breeds in his little lake at Westterham and enjoys watching them almost as much as he likes playing with his two catS-the one at Westerham and the black kitten he recently adopted but now has to keep as @ permanent resident at No. 10 Downing because Old Tom at Westerham wants no part of the new feline.
 In the country, Churchills real work Is done in his study. It's long, narrow room. Down one side is a mammoth table holding books, notes, newspapers. On the floor are two valuable rugs. The rugs cause Mrs. Churchill con- siderable embarrassment, because right down the center from one end of the room to the other runs the clear, beaten rack of Wins

 After twice out-witting several hundrede hunters and their hounds Burly was captured and turned over to 0. E. Faubel, Denver dog educator, who plans to make the animal into a performing dog in Blindness to Animals" program for school childre~.
 (. Faubel admits 1t will be slow process.
 Burly refuses choice steer bones, turns up his nose at horse meat a common dog delicacy--and won't have a thing to do with timed dog foods.
 Likes Mutton Stew
 The animal shows a fondness for mutton stew as well as for raw meat, as Faubel-who wants Burly to have a balanced diet-camou- fiages a prepared dog food by mix ing 1t into the lamb broth.
 At. first Burly refused to drink water. Faubel won him over by giving him water which was frozen at the top. Whenever Burly is able ', to break the ice he drinks the water. No ice, no drink.
 Burly never has learned to bark. But he gives out a blooc .curdling howl--in the manner of the Rocky Mountain timber wolves. Faubel says he will encourage the howl after he teaches Burly to give it at command.
 Circus offer Refused

 Today there is little time for such profitable leisure, but Winston Churchill doesn't mind. He's de. lighted with the fact that he has lost some weight since assuming the premiership.

 Churchill always enjoyed this general conversation game, but not so the feminine part of his family. When Churchill got this conversation game rolling, Mrs. Churchill would begin nervously rearranging and polishing silver around her plate. Daughters Sarah and Diana just sat quietly.

Rent Bill up
For Ypsilanti
Survey Shows
Have to Pay $1,000
More Monthly

Ypsllanti's rent bill is $4,000 a
month hig er now than II was
year ago. This is revealed in fig
ures compiled by the WPA division
of research in cooperation with the
local WPA office.
Decreases in rent during the same
period were in only two per cent OF
the rental units. For units which
had increases In monthly rent,
the average rise was S5SS.
The survey. made at the request
of the Office of Price Administra-
ton. shows that among dwellings,
which were rental units both in
September 1880 and September
1871, rent costs J., IS per cent.
from an average Il $2S.92 to an
average of S30.26.
Average rent for all rental units
in the city in September 1871, in
Guiding those which were not rent
al units in September 1870 and
those for which the 1910 rent could
not be obtained, was $30S9
Both frequency and average
amounts of rent increases were
comparatively high where the oc-
cupants had changed or the land
lord had made changes in struc
ture or conyeniences.
Although the average increases
at each rent level were between
So and Sc, the proportionate IN
creases relative to rents paid in
September 1910 were higher among
the units in the lower rent brack-
cts.
The Ypsilanti survey was an
enumeration Of all dwelling units
throughout the city. About 4S.6
per cent of the units enumerated
were rental units in September
1871. Included in the total Of
1.SS0 rental units were 2l3 units
added during the period. The 213
units were rs by new construction,
80 by conversion of old structures
and 80 by change from owner occu-
pancy. These were not all net
additions since some may have
taken the place of other rental
units. Average rent of the added
units, -$34.S9. was 81 higher than
the average for all rental units in
September 1871.
Two-thirds of the old units were
occupied by the same tenants
throughout the IL months. The
balance were occupied by different
tenants or were unoccupied at the
end Of the period. Changes in
structure. facilities or in service
items included in the rent had
been made by landlords in 6.3 per
cent Of the units.
