LETTERS DISCLOSED ON WATERWAY PLAN Correspondenice Between British ~Embassy and State Department » - Made Public. Correspondence beétween the British embassy and the State Department relative'to the profect for improving the St. Lawrenge jvatorway has been made ‘public hére in the form of let- Ll etween Secretery Hughes and the ‘ambassador. " Secrstary Hughas on April 28 in- ‘formed. the ambassador of the ap- peintment of a national committee of 6, headed by Secretary Hoover, to as an advisory committee to the shington government, and ex- pressed regret that Canada did not desire joint conferences. at least for the present, between American and Canadian committees. He told of the appointment of American representa- tives for the enlarged joint engineer- ing board. and accepted the proposal for two technical officers to be named by each government. The American appointments had been announced previously. ‘The Secretary expressed pleasure al Canada’s acceptance of a proposaul that the first instructions to the en- Fineering board should include fund mental questions whether the scheme submitted by. the engineering board June 24, 1921, is practicable, whether the estimatés require revision, and agreed that the enlarged board should inquire into the extent to ¥hich water levels and lake levels will be affected. It was specified and agreed to that instructions prepared for the joint board should be subject 10 review by the respective govern- ments, and Secretary Hughes asked for an early meeting of the technical officers to begin their work. Ambassador Howard on M 8 in- formed Mr. Hughes that the Canadian representatives on the joint board would be Duncan W. McLachlan, Ot- tawa; Oliver Odilon Lefebreve, chief engineer of the Quebec Stream Com- mission, and Brig. Gen. Charles Ham- ilton Mitchel of Toronto, the last two named to act as Canadian technical officers. George P. Graham, minister of rail- ways and canals, was named chair- man of the Canadian advisory board. RENT BODY TO ACT UNTIL INJUNCTION COVERS ALL CASES (Continued from First ¥ Page.) the rent commission and did not wish o have that body adjudicate the ques- tion of his rentals all he would have to do would be to make application 10 the District Supreme Court for a temporary injunction. It is a custom of the court that when one of the Justices has passed on a matter that a contrary view will not be taken by another member of the court prior to a final decision by ‘the Court of Ap- peals on the question. This, of course, will tend to virtually nullify the rent commission pending final decision of the case. Rent Board Comfident. “We have just begun to fight,” said Mr. Brown this morning. He ex- Pressed confidence of winning in the final decision of the case, contending that the government, through the courts, must either recognize that an emergency exists in housing by con- tinuing the rent ommission, or rec- ognizing it through legislative action 10 increase the pay of its employes to meet the rentals. There are plenty of apartments for rent. he claimed, but the rent is far above the ability of the tenants to pay. ‘The commission of course, respects the court, and will cease action in the Warren case, but it does not take the injunction in this case as a gen- eral prohibition against the consider- ation of other cases before it or to come before it. Mr. Brown is confident of winning in the final decision of the case, even if it has to go again to the Supreme Court of the United States. There | an emergency in’ housing, ha con- tends, and the government, through the courts, either will' have to recog- nize it by leaving the rent commis- sion to function, or recognize it in its executive gnd legislative. branches by providing-increased pay for its emploves in order to meet the cost of housing which is away bevond their reach now. Cannot Puy Remtals. There are ®lenty of .houses and apartments at very high rentals, he says, but the average government servant and pensioners who are here cannot live in (hese, because they cannot meet. the rental charges. So, he contends, if the government cannot recognize .the emergency existing in this way, it can wipe it out, by in- creasing the salaries of its employes and thus increasing the cost of go: ernment and’taxes, so that the land- lords may get it. As_an illustration of the situation Mr. Brown cited the case of Harry Norment and Charles Linkens against the temant A. Bowen, a pensioner, Wwhich case was argued yesterday, and in which the court did not issue a temporary injunction. This tenant, it was showm, originally rented the house at $15 'a_month, leaving him 335 a month from his pension on which to live; He admitted to the court that he could live on this, but that now it was impossible, since the rent had been raised to $27.50 a month. This was the first case con- sidered by the court yesterday, but the court did not issue a restraining order or injunction against the com- mission in it. In view of the fact that the court did not issue an order of prohibition against the commis- sion, Mr. Brown said that the com- mission would not feel compelled to cease until the question of whether an emergency did exist s answered in its finality. Commission Restrained. To keep the Rent Commission from functioning, “it is Mr. Brown's con- tention, there should be issued a writ of prohibition, in view of the fact that the commission is a quasi-judi- <lal body—in fact. the courts them- selves have not determned in what ass to place the commission. The ‘injunction- restrains the commission, but does not enjoin the litigants in the case. The court has indicated by issuing injunctions, in one or two cases that it is not the intention to issue it in all cases where injunctions are asked. For this reason the commission does not take it that the injunction will be general and will prevent the com- mission from acting only in the par- ticular cases in which the injunctions are issued. If the Rent Commission is a judicial body, said Mr. Brown, who added that the Supreme Court is not clear as to what it is, it can only be prevented from functioning by a writ of prohi- bition. In the Warren case nome. of the tenants was made parties, and, therefore, it is contended that the in- junction is not the proper remedy to be_applied for. The present situation, Mr. Brown said further,. is almost parailel to a previous one, where the Court of Ap- peals held- the“rent act to be un- oconstitutional, and - where “the Su- preme Court of the Distriot-of Co- Jumbia issued. injunction wfter in- junction against the Rent Commis- sion, which suits were finally decided in favor of the Rent Commission. During all the period that these in- junctions were in foroe the Rent Commission continued to function in all cases brought before it, and so it will while the matters at issue now are being considered. Emergency Whole Issue. The case at issue, of course, wraps Itself around the question of whether An emergency. on account of which the original law was passed, still exists, it was pointed out. The Supreme Court of the United States has t ton oasé that ‘this Ys the question. It then becomes a point, it was added, | owner inted aut in the cnnue-k 28 to who is to decide and how it i to be decided as to what constitute an emergency. It is the contention of many that an emergency ex But'In the moderate priced homes and apartments for rent. g ‘That there is an emergency exist- ing, it is contended, is evidenced by the passage by the House of Repre- sentatives of the resolution extending the Jife of the Rent Commission. Scnator Ball expressed the belief that he could show the emergency still exists. and indicated that he would endeavor to reason out for the Senate the causes of high rentals and prices. In this connection the Senator will have reports of the survey made under the direction of the District committee into the num- ber of vacant properties, and the prices at which they are offered. Suggents Special Appeal. In rendering his decision vesterday afternoon Justice Stafford stated “there is sufficient probability that the housing emergency has passed to justify the District Supreme Court in Eranting an injunction against fur- ther functioning of the Rent Com- mission, at least until further testi- | mony can be taken.” Upon this basis | he granted a temporary injunction | asked by Bates Warren, a landlord, preventing further action by the Rent Commission on complaint of tenants at 1868 Columbia road. Justice Stafford suggested that a special | appeal might be prosecuted from his | decision so that the Court of Appeals might express its view of the situa- tion. High rentals and high prices, the court found. do not constitute an emergenc s rentals have advanced with “commodities. and while there seems to be no denying that there are many vacant houses, rooms and apartments, to refuse a temporary injunction would be to decline to follow the suggestion of the United States Supreme Court as to the presence of an emergency. The justice expressed the view that as the testimony would be voluminous it should be taken before &n examiner in chancery and o prezerved for sub- mission to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. Attorneys Douglas, Obear & Douglas, W. H. Sholes and J. V.

Attention of the court was also directed to the statement con- tained In the recent decirion of the United States Supreme Court in tha | Chastelton case, in which the court strongly intimated that if it were deciding the question cf the present existence of an emergency it would be inclined to hold that the law had become inoperative. | Chapin Brown, counsel for the Rent Commission, declared the statement of the United States Supreme Court justice in his opinion, on which coun- sel relied, was “mere dictum,” as the | | question of a present emergency was | not involved in that case.

Many _enjoyable hours were afforded me in forming and delivering my speech, and it is due to the contest which The Star Com- pany has conducted in Washington that many Techites, as well as others, have come to realize how vitally im- portant the Constitution is to every one. I wish to thank you on my own part for the hundred dollars award, which 1 was so fortunate as to win, and also on the part of the school for the interesting and helpful con- test in which you have enabled us to participate.

NEW YORK, May 10.—More than 2,000 persons were turned away from the New York grand final meeting of the national Oratorical contest, held last night in Town Hall. First place, and the privilege of representing the northeastern zone in Washington on June 6, was awarded by the judges to_ Vail Barnes. This award carried with it the Eve- ning World prize of $1000.

AR MISS DIX: 1 have beeri married since September, and am' very much in love with my husband. We live with his parents because he has not had work until recently, and even now he does mot make enough to Keep a house going. However, he is offered a position in a eity about 200 miles away, which would give him a good salary and a prospect of promotion, but he is going to refuse the chance because he is an only child, and his mother says it will kill her if he leaves her. ol o My husband has talent, and T feel sure that he could succeed if Wé would break away from his parents and try to stand on his own'feet, but he listens to his mother, instead of me, and I do not know what to do. A TROUBLED WIFE. Answer: Force vour husband into accepting the good situation if you can. What he needs is to have his rmother's apron strings cut, and to be thrown out on his own. In that way only can he ever attain his stature as a man. As long as he stays at home he will be a perpetual minor mothet's fair-haired darling boy. but a boy who is under aythority, and who has no chance to use his own judgment. It is very sweet and lovable for a man to be so devoted to his mother that he is willing to forego the prospect of suceess to wtay with her, but it shows & weak streak In him. The men who do worth-while things in the world are not those who cling to their mother's petticoats, and who stay at home sweetening mother's tea for her. and catering to an old woman's whims. They are the men who have the grit to gird up their loins and go after fortune wherever it beckons. Moreover., when a man is married he is a husband first amd a son second, and his duty is to his wife instead of to his mother. It is her future and the future of their children that he has to consider as well as his own, and he has no right to sacrifice them to his mother. . o She is a selfish mother, anyway, who would clip her children's wings and keep them In the home nest, half starved and poorly feathered. when abroad they could find plenty of nice fat worms for the scratching and gay plumage. Real mother love stifies its own pangs at the separation, and sends her sons and daughters forth with cheer and encouragement to make the best they can of their lives. Of course. thie overfond mother will be lonely if her son goes. but she will not die of a broken heart. Millions of other sons leave home to pursue their careers, and there are no unduc fatalities among mothers. And you can comfort yourself with this reflection—that the very mother who tries to keep him away from this opportunity will be ashamed of him a failure. And she will never be dome boasting of him if he goes away and makes a_success. So. Worried Wife, buck vour husband up into cutting away from the home ties that hinder him, and push him through the door that opportunity is opening for him DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: | am twenty-nine years old and for the last three years have been going out with a voung man one vear my senior. He tells me that he likes me, but he impresses upon me the fact that we are not engaged. and he tells other people that he never intends to marry me and that when he settles down he is going to marry.a girl aboutl eighteen. If T-am 100 old for him to marry, don’t you think | am too old to have him waste my time?” TROUBLEL Answer: | certuiniy do. my dear. Evidently the gentleman is one of the selfish sort. who think that a girl has no rights that a man has to consider, ana that it is his privilege to amuse himself at her expense. He monopolizes your time. He keeps other men away from vou. He | fills your heart so full of love for him that there will never be a place in it for another man nd then he plans to leave you in the lurch when he has grown tired of you. It is a foxy little scheme for enjoying himseif at your expense, but you will deserve to be a sour old maid and the laughing stock of flappers if you let him get away with it. Your play is to drop him before he can drop vou. Beal him to it. Haye enough pride to let him know that you are not hanging on. waiting to be taken or left, as he sees fit. . Besides, probably the only thing the man needs is a good joit to wake him up to his real sentiments toward you. Most men think that they adore extreme youth in a girl, but in reality they often find it extremely cruge and callow. Generally. sweet eighteen is a terrific bore 1o a man of thirty. gum-chewing. shrieking, monkey-on-a-stick stage himself, and he cannot adapt himself to it in the artless young creature whose entire conversation is a series of hysterics and Who wants to be doing something strenuous and jazzy every moment of the time. As for a man’'s settling down with a girl of eighteen. that's absurd. He has to settle up. and it is a wearing process. So I would advise you 1o send your friend to hunt for his eighteen-vear-old bride. and my word for it, he will soon come back to the intelligent. restful companionship of a woman of twenty-nine DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: 1 am a woman of thirty-five and have been married fourteen vears. Two vears azo my husband left me because I demanded that he pay half of the household expenses.

Wih s i VITAL PARTS OF TAX BILL STILL UNDER DISPUTE (Continuad from First Page.) voted by the Senate some of the broker's seat taxes. A pew tax of 10 per cent on mah-jong sels was inserted by the Senate. Tax Fight Partis: The contest in conference on the income tax- schedule will be princi- pally a fight to put a party label on the provision. These rates vary only slightly, but the Democrats obtained credit for the schedule adopted by the Senate, while the House plan was adopted by a strictly Republican vote. The normal rates in the Senate bill are 2 per cent on incomes under $4,000; 4 per cent on incomes between 34,000 and $8.000 and 6 per cent above $8,000. The House provided similar rates except 5 per cent on incomes between 34,000 and $8.000 On surtaxes, the House voted for a flat 25 per cent cut in existing rates, making the maximum 37': per cent on incomes over $200,000. The mini mum rate would be made 1z per cen on_incomes of $10,000. The Simmons surtax _ schedule, adopted by a Democratic-Republican insurgent vote in the Senate. would start with 1 per cent at $10,000 and graduate to 78 per cent at $200.000. with two additional brackets, bring- ing the maximum to 40 per cent on incomes over $500,000. These rates wvary little more than 1 per cent throaghout the scale from the House plan. being slightly smaller on the lower incomes, about the same on in- comes between $60.000 and $50,000 and slightly higher on the larger in- comes in Table Gives Rates.

T'ublieity for tax returns and for proceedings before the proposed board of tax appeals hearings to the House alwo is opposed by organiza- | tion Republicans and must be fought | out In conference. The House and Senate finance committee voted to open tax returns for inepsotion only by certain congressional committees. The Senate finance committee turned down the House proposal to increase estates’ taxes from a maxi- mum of 25 per cent*to 40 per cent, but the Senate then substituted an inheritance tax for the estate tax. This was done last session and re- Jected in conference. The rates on the inheritance taxes start at 1 per cent on amounts not in excess of $25.000 and graduate up Lo a maxi- mum of 36 per cent on $5.000,000. Similar rates were voted for the new gift tax. This tax was written into the bill by the House with rates voted there for the estate tax. “Mothers of Men" Subject. “Mothers of Men" will be the sub- ject of the sermon by Dr. Clarence E.

Hearse and Two ears and other details of a $500.00 Funeral— | P © Agpetizing/ One of the most de- licious fragrances I know of is that which floats from our flavor room when a batch of Valencia Almonds is being roasted. At times 1 cannot resist going over and munching a handful of those ten- der, tasty tidbits. Perhaps the only sur- passing sensation of its kind is the delight of eating a dish of Breyers Burnt Almond Ice- Cream, the only flavor- ing of which are those fascinating little Span- ish nuts, done to a tempting crispness in our own accurately timed roasters. Try this ice-cream with the romantic taste today. A e‘/hw] OB, Fifty-seven vears ago, Mr. Brever’s father added fresh fruit and granulated sugar to pure cream and froze it into a delicacy that delight- ed his neighbors. In the last two years, Mr Breyer made and sold about 50 million quarts of cream. This was made just as simply and honestly as it was over half a century ago.
