I I INVESTIGATING HIGH RENTS James W. Funk, federal fair price j ' commiBsioner for Utah, announces ' that his first work will consist in mak- I 'ing an investigation of alleged unjust I Increases in rents in Ogden and in Salt Lake. This is a matter that interests j a largo part of the population of. those J cities for obviously everybody is vit I ally interested who does not own the home in which he lives. Tenants want to know what will be done and the landlords also are interested. The commissioner has a problem on his hands. He has run up, against the effects of extraordinary circumstances. Take, for example, a person who owns a house and lot, the total cost of which was $2,000 and -which, under normal conditions brought $20 a month as rent. Then the war comes on and the building of homes is curtailed. ! But the population of the city is in- I creased through the birth rate and also because of the new residents brought here through industrial de- velopment. A situation arises where there are moro prospective tenants 9 than there are places in which to live. TJnder these circumstances it takes a strong nature to resist increasing I the rent of that house to, say, $35 a month. The tomptatlon to advance 3 rents Is increased when the owner ob- j serves how many persons answer want-ads in newspapers about rent 9 It is natural for persons to take ad- vantage of every opportunity to in- crease their personal fortune, but 1 whether it is right for landlords to I exact rents out of all proportion to the 3 money invested in the rent properly I is another question. Some means should be found where- 1 by the renter is assured of a square deal and the owner of rent property I' should also be assured of fair dealing, If for unless the person who builds Li apartment houses and cottages to be I rented is assured of a reasonable re- I turn on the money invested there will I be no Inducement for him to build and F the present serious situation with re- f gard to housing will continue. oo MORE STUDENTS ATTENDING 1 HIGH SCHOOLS. ! The announcement of Superintend ent Hopkins that nearly every student graduated from the junior high schools will attend either the Ogden High school, the Weber academy or Sacred Heart academy emphasizes one fea ture in tho progress of education.

The result of all this ceremony gave Johnny McSplivits or Mary McSplivits the idea that a notable epoch had been ended and that already a great step j in education had been taken and It I was immaterial whether he or she went to school any more. So much I fuss was made over having finished the grammar grades that entering high school was a step never thought of by many. Now the tendency is just the op posite. The pupil is shown that tho grades just completed are only pre j paratory to higher things. There is no sharp jumping off place. The move ment from the junior to the senior high school is accomplished without a ' jerk. The result is more and more J pupils are entering the high schools ! and the junior school system doos j much to bring about this desirable sit 00 NO LAUGHING MATTER i ! When Chicago teachers assembled J to frame demands for Increased sal . aries' one young woman who had j charge of a class of sub-normal stu- dents, including feeble-minded boys, i announced that some of her feeble ! minded boys had been given jobs with i wages amounting to more than her ) salary. The dispatch said that this 'an nouncement was greeted by laughter. While it is pleasant to know that I teachers have such a sense of humor that they can laugh at such a situa tion, it really is no laughing matter, ! especially to those who have the in terests of (he schools at heart and view with concern the many men and ; woman who are giving up the teaching j profession for other lines of endeavor. j LAUGHING AT OUIJA. ' Some learned man recently made the startling statement that there was grave danger in the use that is being made of that popular device, the oulja board, with which nearly everybody is ' familiar. Under the' caption, "Taking a Toy Too Seriously," an editorial writer of The World laughs at the sJatement, saying" Addiction to the oulja board, it seems, has made such inroads on the time, habits of study and nerves of students at the "Univer sity of Michigan as to cause grave concern among the faculty, in the opinion of one professor, "the lure of the ouija is becoming a serious . menace to this country." The birth-rate of menaces Is now so high that it is difficult to keep track of all their progeny. But is this rude and flimsy bit of "wood and glue worthy to be included in the list of devices harmful to the American mind? Most people think of it as a psychic toy with which they amuse themselves as their parents amused themselves with the planchette, and with just about as much seriousness. They might concede it a status a little above that of the "piga-in-clover" puzzles and "How-old-is-Ann?" problems of other year6, but very few of them can possibly regard it as a medium of communication with the spirit world. Those who do -would probably have found some other outlet for their cre dulity. , i What has happened is that the public is in one of its periodical moods for diverting itself with a mental glmcrack, and the oulja board has served the purpose, while adding an element of the mystical to the fun. After a while people will turn their attention to something else. But no doubt the present phenomenon in a highly civilized nation would interest savage races who bow down to to tem poles and practice voodoo rites. oo Funny people are never witty.

"I had rheumatism so bad that life was simply miserable for me, but Tan lac has entirely overcome my trou ble," said Mrs. Martha Asbach, of 22264 Duanc street, Los Angeles, Cal. "For tho past six years I was in such a wretched condition I can hardly understand how I held out as long as I , did," she continued. "I had rheuma tic pains In my knees so bad that it was impossible for me to step up or down the stairs, and my hands wore so swollen and stiff it was all I could do to hold the broom or dishes. At night I simply ached all ovpr so bad I could not sleep, and, in fact, I suf fered all the time night and day. 1 be came very nervous and worried so much over my condition that I became very despondent. "I tried all the medicines I could hear of but none of them did me any good until I got Tanlac. I was over Joyed to find that it more thnn met my I expectations. All signs of tho rheu matism have loft mo and I am back doing my housework for the first tinu in several years. My nerves are as steady ns they can be and I sleep all night long and never wake up until morning, I haven't felt so fine in years and It certainly is a pleasure for me to tell everybody about Tanlac."

Dr. John. L. Cope, commander of the British im perial Antarctic expedition which will leave England in the steamer Terra nova next June for a five years' tour of exploration in the Antarctic, says an attempt will bo made to dash "to the south pole by airplane Today he told the Associated Press how he hoped to accomplish this pretentious undertaking. "The plane we are taking w;th us' said Dr. Cope, "is being specially con structed and will be so designed that it can land on the ice by means of skids. Three men will make the dash rv.

"From the starting point it will be a continous elimb,..since the plane will have to cross a mountain range with ( peaks 11.000 feet high. The pilot will be Captain G. H. Wilkin3, who partici-' pated in the flight between England j and Australia. With Patent Sledge. j "The plane will be fitted with a pat-1 ent sledge attachment which will be j used to carry provisions and equip ment if anj'thfng happens to prevent the journey being continued in the air. ; With a full load and crew the airplane will weigh 12,600 pounds. Its speed will average 93 miles an hour. "If the weather is favorable I in tend to commence the flight for the ' polo next Christmas day. The journey will have to be made in two stages since we could not hope to cross the highest peaks with a full load. Hence, at the foot of tho peaks in latitude S4 degrees south we will land on the Ice and establish a depot of spare fuel and provisions, and as far as possible lighten the machine. Follow Amundsen. "Having searched for the tent left by Amundsen and the flags which he and Captain Scott deposited there, we will commence the return journey. Both on the flight to the pole and back I shall follow the tracks Amund sen followed afoot because the winds there are more reliable than those pre vailing over the route used by Scott. "During tho flight we -will be in touch by -wireless with our base and a searching party will, bo sent out afoot to find us if we should be out of touch more than two days. "With the aid of the airplane I am certain that we shall be able to pene trate farther into the interior and reach spots which could be reached on foot only with the utmost of diffi culty and great danger. Marooned On Island. "The time I spent marooned on Ross Island after tho Aurora (the Mawson expedition ship of 1916) was driven : away In tho blizzard, gave mo every j opportunity for studying weather con- S ditions. In the little hut established by Scott on that lonely island amid g the ice, I and my comrades in mis- fortune lived for two years with all hope of rescue abandoned. We kept records regarding the weather and H continued our research -work, hoping that even though we perished, future explorers would find data that would benefit them. These records con vinced me of the practicability of avia tion in the Antarctic durjng the sum mer. During the expedition an at tempt will be made to clrcumnavigato the Antarctic and three members of i the party, including myself, will spend a whole winter on the great ice bar rier, a thing never before attempted, I for the purpose o'f studying weather j conditions, "When tfc return our data will bo public property."
