The chilly apartment dweller has but one re- course—he can move, And his new apartment is likely to be no warmer than the one he vacated, Altho apartment house heat and landlords have, for years, been the butt of humorists’ quips, the charge, gen- erally, is unjust. Most landlords try to make their ten- ants comfortable; most apartment houses are well heated. ‘And sometimes, when the heat dies down, it isn’t entirely the landlord's fault. It’s the few rotten apples in the apartment house bar- rel that taint the whole collection. The great congrega- tion of good landlords is condemned for the sins of a few careless profiteers. If your landlord is one of the few, call the health de- partment. Either Dr. Reed or one of his assistants will go to bat for you and get you heat. But give the landlord joke and the heated-apartment joke a rest, Most of the landlords are tired of it, any- way. And so are most apartment dwellers.

Life Insurance for Babies ISS RUTH Jones, Seattle's first 1924 baby, is given an insurance policy for $1,000. _ This serves to call attention to a somewhat neglected phase of insurance. Many companies write policies for children, at low rates. Then, when the child becomes of college age, there is a substantial sum waiting to pay expenses, If your child is 5 years old, many companies will write an endowment policy, maturing when he is 15. For a sma!l sum that you will not miss each week, you may assure him a college course at hardly any expense to The King-Pin of All White Elephants AU ew York Ave. ABSILINGTON, Jan, 3,—No matter how wet or how dry congress may turh out to be, it will have no difficulty in finding a prohibition bill to mult Ite taste, Over n score of bills and resolu tions have been introduced al ready and more are expected, » bills already pending pro- vide for making America more Saharwlike, for making America “as wot an the Atlantic," for per mitting oases wherever the local residents so desire, and for pute ting the whole question of proht- bition up to tho people In the form of @ referendum on the 18th amendment, Tho the republican party is supponed to be dry, the mont pro- nounced of the wet measures are sponsored by republicans.
