Living in Washington at Reasonable Cost Is Simply Impossible "Washington, D. C Feb. 1L Take, a tip from one who knows and don't come to 'Washington with a lean pocketbook. If you have landed what you think is a good Job, don't let yourself be fooled into thinking that you are going to bank the difference between your stipend here and the amount of your pay check back home. Whatever you do, don't bring alons friend wife and the babies. All of which la intended to convey a hint of tbe critical housing condi tions in the capital city. One of those sweet young things whose lord and master horned in on a govern ment lob after he learned a few days ago that obligating himself to pay another's board for life wouldn't keep a musket off his shoulder, because he accepted the yoke after May 18, oTerneara toaay to reraarK witn a sigh of utter hopelessness: "You cant get a desirable room in Wash ington for love nor mbney." And ttt comes pretty near to telling the whole tale. Don't think this Is all tommyrot because you have seen columns of "for rent ads" in the Washington papers. Things are not always what taice a look at some or these ads. In yesterday's paper one accommodating landlord agrees i accept a "few paying guests" at J30 per. Another one would let a three room apartment for J100 a month, and board can be secured a few doors away. Pour hundred dol lars a month Is tbe very reasonable sum asked for a "desirable apartment with two baths." It you have no children you can' f Pxectly lovely apartment or .ISoms or 15559 a month. If you needed only one room in an ex clusive apartment house the tax would be only I50 a month. Corn Products and Potato Flours Urged; Bread Ra tions Are Specified.

S. Puzzles the Scientists Washington, D. C "Feb. 11. This winter will go down in the annals of the weather bureau as a wonderful and inexplicable phenomenon. Tbe eastern half of the United States has been buried under snow and ice and bitten by a degree of cold which makes this in many sec tions the most severe winter in the history of the bureau, while January easily takes rank as the most severe month In half a century. The Pacific coast region, mean while, and to a great extent all of the country west of the Rockies, has been having a season of warmth which literally brought spring at the end of December. In fact, the scientists say that this unnatural warmth In the west is a good deal more re markable than the cold in the east. While the -ice ponds of ?ew York are freezing to their bottoms so that it is impossible to harvest the Ice: while eastern rivers are choked and dammed by tbe piling floes. In the Pacific coast states, and as far east as the foot of the Rockies, thev are having spring. It is reported from southern Idaho and eastern Washing ton and Oregon that the leaf buds are swelling and about to burst, while In some sections fruit trees were about to bloom at the end of Decern ber. In valleys which have often been under snow at this time of the year young grass Is springing. 1 m Three new Victor triumphs These three great Victor study courses give fresh evidence of how closely the Victor keeps in touch with the times how alert and eager to serve the people as new occasions and demands arise.
