Senate's Action Approved By Rent Commissioners : 'L'rffeerupulous landlords would i throw R.000 or 10.000 people from j their homes It the Ball rent art is j not extended until May 22, 1922.' | declared William F. Gude. rent commissioner. In discussing the Ball rent act extension approved i by the Senate yesterday. I "These rent hogs would raise the rents to such an exorbitant price ; that thousands of tenants would be ! without homes. The cry for homes I is needed today just as much as it . w'as years apn." he declared. Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, rent commissioner, said last night if the extension cf the Ball rent act is passed by the House and signed by the President it would mean that I thousands of people during the i winter months would not be com' pel led. through high rents, to quit I their homes. She declared that i 100.000 people in the city are inadj equately housed.

I} Tlffill! flr/JSl Drop in German Male Population Shown by Census Either Germany's war teases were concealed, or 500.600 males have departed from the country unknown. This fact Is revealed In census figures communicated to the Department of Commerce yesterday by Economist Consul Maurice Parmelec at Berlin. The Anal draft of the 1*20 census, according to Mr. Parmelec. shows an excess of 2.8*0.000 females over males. In 1910 the excess was only 8*0.000. "Inasmuch as German looses on the field of battle usually hare been estimated at about 1,*00.000, this figure would account for only threefourths of the excess of females," commented Mr. Parmelee. In spite of the tremendous excess of females over males, the marriage rate rose from 7.7 in 1*13 to 14.8 In 1*20, t^o figures also show. The birthra'te is foiling, but with the present high marriage rate, a marked increase is expected In the next few years, according to the American consul. - * MISS ALICE RAISES IRE BY STATEMENT Local Suffragists Retort to Her Scorn of Women in 4rms Parley Body.
