Further, the President being COM

Again, the final section Of Article of

without congressional consent, a State of

few doctors today, we believe, would be
willing, at least privately, to say that
they can do much better for you.
AS curiosity piece, this book will en-
tertain any one who likes to look into
the lives of other peoples.
The gypsies make up an old race, to
our way of thinking.
Petulengro's recipe for distemper in
dogs is alarmingly simple.
In bad cases give the dog ordinary
brewers yeast, a small piece every morn
ing"
The gypsies didn't know it, but brew
ers yeast is now known to contain some
of the B vitamins; whether these could
cure" the terrible dog disease, distemper,
is matter of large doubt And certainly
the few units contained in small piece
of yeast every morning could do little If
any good
To prevent distemper, according to
Petulengro, is even simpler.
Give the dog a small piece of raw
potato occasionally"
Peoples who live close to nature al
ways believe in simple remedies, maybe
because they have no other. Who can
say that they do not often cure them
selves? Nothing is surer than that ma
ture does the curing, and that if a rem
edy does not harm, it may seem to result
in cure, after all
The desirability OF wild rabbits in the
home garden never will be exactly under
stood by persons who lament the loss of
a few blossoms.
Those pesky rabbits are eating up all
my petunias!" they cry in utter amaze
ment that any one could want to have
wild rabbits visit them.
Yet to the person interested in ami
mails, few wild things offer more appeal
than brown bunny with a cotton tail
There was large one in the back of
the yard the other evening. Dusk is
their favorite time. Most suburban COM
munities have few of them.
How they escape the dogs will always
remain a mystery.
1t is impossible to describe the delight
with which the former city dWelIer, once
he moves to the suburbs, views his first
wild rabbits in his own back yard.
He will not begrudge them a few bios
SONS.
After all, these brown bunnies are not
the great jackrabbits of the West They
will not do much damage, principally
because there are not many of them.
Dogs and cars do take their toll.
No suburban garden will have more
than half dozen at time, and usually
not more than two or three.
Those who delight in the spectacle Of
rabbits in their yards should go right
ahead being kind to them.
If the bunnies become too numerous,
their antics bothersome, and their appe-
tites burdensome. call upon this column
for solution. Between our readers and
their books Of gypsy magic, We ought to
be able to think up Some way of getting
rid of them.

Critieizes Rent Control Bill
Proposed by Real Estate Operators.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
There seems to be q naive belief in
some quarters that the rent-control bill
offered the District Defense Subcommit-
tee by real estate operators here will
accomplish some relief for tenants. That
misconception is based upon the sup
position, without careful investigation
of the remainder Of the bill, that rents
will be fixed at the rate prevailing Sep
tember l, 1910. These salient facts are
overlooked:
Cd In new structures yet to be built
no rent control at all will exist. The
sky will be the limit, just as now.
CD In structures now standing.
charges may be raised at any time upon
showing by the operator that he has
spent few dollars in upkeep Ccapital
outlay'D. If there is any minimum which
the operator must spend. The Stars re-
ports have not mentioned it.
(3) This showing need not be made to
Federal official, but to local designee
who in the natural course of politics may
be expected to be acquainted with and
A0V W Gfl6 ReuIleIIlen OF
the realty trade who will appear before
him.
In such an arrangement the "Septem-
Der, 1940,' rent level is Just a catch
phrase. In fact, if these realty gentle
men had deliberately set out to draw
bill which would preserve the present
unlicensed system, seem palatable and
simultaneously scotch the other two bills
pending before the subcommittee, they
could not have done better than the
present offering.
Several hundred thousand tenants in
the District hope the subcommittee will
not be taken in. In all the lengthy
statement made before that body by E.
Barrett Prettyman, the realty mems
counsel, and reported by The Star, the
sentence most worthy OF consideration is:
"Naturally,.we do not want rent control
because that Is human nature"

Move Over

Much has been written about
housing shortages, but it is doubtful
if many families were ever as crowded
as that of a certain Illinois farmer
with wife and eleven children. BY
studying the methods of sardine
packers, he just barely managed to
solve his ever-increasing problem,
but it became hopeless when disaster
came upon him in the person of his
mother-in-law on two-Week visit.
Some one had to 60 into the barn,
and he was it.
He had no more than got settled
than fate played another trick upon
him. The arrival of two calves
forced him out of the barn into the
chicken coop. Perhaps inspired by
the unexpected honor of his COM
pany, the hens promptly began to lay
so that it was almost impossible to
avoid breaking the eggs. His next
suggested port of call was the dog
house, with which, it would seem on
the evidence, he must have been
thoroughly familiar. But he baked,
possibly because he feared still fur
ther blessed events, and to the sur
prise OF all, went to court instead.
He came back from it with an order
from the judge, reinstating him
in the house. 1t is good to report
that after all his dizzy base running,
from house to barn to coop to court
to house, he is finally safe at home.

Police Inquiry

Acting Police Chief Kelly well
merits the commendation which
Commissioner Young gave him for
his prompt and vigorous action in
connection with charges of prisoner
at the First Precinct Station that a
policeman fired a pistol at him
through the bars of his cell. AS a
result of the immediate inquiry
ordered by Major Kelly, three police
men have been suspended and one
of them has been held under $4,000
bond on a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon.
If, after a full and fair hearing,
the facts as related by the prisoner
are substantiated, the officers re-
sponsible for the attack should feel
the full weight Of the law and OF
departmental disciplinary procedure,
for lawlessness on the part Of officers
appointed to uphold the law II mex

Dear Sir:
I'm a recent article you, quoted from
letter by one of your readers who
wishes to attract rabbits to his yard
Il am inclosing a recipe which l have
been meaning to try myself for this pur-
pose but have not gotten around to it.
You might send it on to him and I hope
he has success with it.
II copied it from an interesting little
booklet by Gipsy Petulengro-a true
gypsy-grandson Of the old gypsy tinker,
Petulengro, immortalized by George
Borrow in The Romany Rye and
Lavengro.'
II am an interested and appreciative
reader of your wonderful column. More
power to you
Cordially yours, A. B. c."
The gypsy recipe for drawing rabbits
or hares to your fields is as follows:
Mix together one-quarter ounce oil Of
parsley. l dram oil of angelica, l dram
oil of aniseed, one-half ounce oil of CO.
paiba.
place a few drops on pieces Of wood
or twigs and lay about the spots where
you wish the animals to come"
Whether this will draw rabbits, we do
not know.
Whether it would be worth the cost,
even to the person who wants bunnies in
his yard, we do not know. We believe
the oils used would cost about so cents
all ounce. Perhaps druggist could mix
up small batch of it for less
Two dollars would be a good price.
some may think, to attract a few wild
rabbits to ones garden. And suppose
the lure didn't work? Then one would
have an odoriferous mixture of no earth
ly use TO any one, not even rabbit.
We have Petulengros book on our
shelves since it was issued in this country
by Dutton in 1886, but never thought of
the above recipe when answering the
correspondent referred to. The book
insists on spelling it gypsy" and maybe
that is right, but we like gypsy" better.
According to the blurb on the jacket
"Gipsy Petulengro has turned down 80
proposals Of marriage, but denies that
he is a woman hater. He expresses
liking for sensible women but finds them
few and far between and generally too
clever for his own comfort. Unlike
most of u.s. he is more certain of the date
of his death than the date of his birth
The last he does not know, but his
death he thinks will probably be in 1949."
"Romany Remedies and Recipes" as
this small book is called. has some very
unusual prescriptions" Most Americans
will smile at them. But maybe that is
because We no longer put as much stock
in herbal remedies as we once did.
We have some of the real "herbalists"
in this country, of course-the American
Indians.
When they got the grippe, or a very
bad cold, or influenza, they simply took

Gain for Merit

An important milestone in the his
tory of the merit system will be
marked by the end of the current
fiscal year, when the RamSpeck-
O'Mahoney Act becomes fully effec-
tive, and all first, second and third
class post Offices finally are filled by
appointees who have life tenure.
According to figures placed before
the National Association Of Post
masters by President Harry B.
Mitchell of the Civil Service Com
mission, approximately 11,000 post
masters have qualified under the
law, which has been in operation for
more than three years, and the re-
manning 1000 are to be appointed in
the next few months. Thus will pass
the principal stronghold of Federal
patronage, for thereafter appoint
ments to these positions will be made
only as the incumbents die, resign or
are removed for cause.
AS matters stand, these positions
for the most part have fallen to the
Democratic party, but that, as Mr..
Mitchell pointed out, is something
which in time will adjust itself. Had
the law been enacted in a Republican
administration, the same situation
would have existed, except, of course,
that Republicans would have been
the principal beneficiaries.
However, despite the advance rep
resented by the law, which ends the
mass renewals that traditionally took
