Vnrc today denounced ns "outrnitcous" n rent toost affecting ocrupnnts ot CSS hoiurs In South Philadelphia. The Jiouses, located In n downtown ward, wcro ownrd by a merebnut in South rhilndclphia. It wm announced yesterday that they had been sold by him to nn undisclosed pu rf baser. The transaction was deseribed ns one o the largest deals in local real estate in re cent years. "It was an ootMRp." said Seuntor Varo this afternoon, "for this man to keep jumping tho rents ot theo people when he knows there are no vitraut houses in South Philadelphia. , "Uttlo by IJttle" "Tou cannot quote me too Mronjrh 'Concerning this matter. For some tmi ho raised their rents at on or two dol lars a jump. At a time when the in creasing scarcity of bouses had put the tenants in a position where they could not get away he jumped them three and five dollars more. "I consider this an imposition on these good, hard-working pcopln. This man would not have dared to do it had there been nny other bouses in South Philadelphia for rent. "With houses so scarce nnd every thing up in price it is perfectly natural for owners to raise their rents n dollar or two. No one can complain about that. Also I think it is n good tiling as a. general proposition for people to own their own homes. The 'Own Your Own Home' movement, however, might have been started at a more fnvorablc time, when conditions were nearer normal than they aro now. Vicious Abuse of Movement "It is all right, in fact a good thing. for a man to buy his own home if he -wants to and feels he is able to. It is a vicious thing to try to forco him to buy his homo by threatening to throw him out when ho cannot get another place to go to. "This is a practice that l cannot con demn too strongly." Legal machinery hab been set in mo tion to eject one of the tenants to whom Senator Vare referred in bis statement. The tenant is preparing to fight the ejectment proceedings, and the whole matter may bo aired in court. The bouses in question arc of two Bort8, larger houses on tho main street3 and smaller houses on the streets be tween. In 1017, before the war began, the smaller houses rented for SI" a month and the larger ones for $10 a month, according to nn attorney rcpre- "seating tho tenants. "The first increase was made in May, 1017," said th'i3 attorney today. "It -was $1 a month. In January, 101S. another dollar a nipnth was added tu tho rents. In April, 101S, the smaller houses had another dollar put on the rent and the larger ones an additional two dollars, bringing the rents up to $15 and $20 respectively. Then the Worms Turned "There was no further increase de manded until February of this jour, when 53 was put on the smaller houses nnd So on the larger. 11ns increase was to go into effect in March. The tenant, immediately handed themselves1 3SrlH!;r"d'"g zl'zzz, elation. Airtually none of the teuanta paid the last increase demanded. At least 250 of tbem have retmeu to-paj.

Does a girl'R interest in the work ailny affairs of life grow less ns her years grow greater? These questions are suggested bj the records of the annual "general informa tion test" given recently to pupils lit the Germnntown Friends' School. The test consists of 100 questions de signed to reveal the practical knowledge of students. It is given to boys nnd girls in nil classes in -the intermediate and high schools, from the seventh clnss. which corresponds to the fifth year in public school, to the cnior class, which Is the graduating clnss in high school. In nil the classes tlj.r bojs made the highest marks, nernglng bojs nnd girls in encb class ns a whole, though in in dividual averages a girl led the second class with an average of ninety, tjing with n boy in the first class for second place in the entire school. In the rnngc of class averages, high est to lowest, a girl scored the lowest mark 'in every one of five high school classes save the fourth class, where a boy had the low mark. Average ranges in the intermediate school, however, showed a different re sult. In the fifth class, which is the top class in the intermediate school, a girl was lowest. In the sixth and seventh clnsses, th'e low score was held by boys.. Bojs Alwajs In Lead In general the clnss averages show that boys and girls are on a more nearly equal plane in the lowest classes, with the bojs olwayR a little ahead, the bo.vs steadily increasing their lead over the girls ns the classes progress townrd big!: school nnd grnduntion. Thus in the seventh class, which is the lowest class taking the test, the average of nil the girls wns seventeen : thnt of nil the bo s, -1.3, a little more than four points dif ference. In the fourth class, highest of the intermediate cJnsses, the girls' nver age was .".7. 47: the bojs', dl.fi. nn ad vantage of more than seven points for the bojs. In the senior class the girls averaged 04.1)."), the bojs 77. IU, more than twelve points difference. Stnnlcy It. Ynrnall, headmaster of the Germnntown Friends' School, believes the divergence in bojs' nnd girls' aver ages is perhaps explainable by the bojs' increasing companionship ns they grow older with their fathers, and the girls' growing interest in exclusively feminine things. "When we first applied the test, some ten j ears ago." said Mr. Ynrnall. "the same divergence wns nppnrent. We thought it was accidental then. Rut it has worked out like clockwork, jenr after jear, so that now we hnve come to expect it. This jear we have an un usually bright set of girls in the senior class and I had hoped they would cut down the boys' lend. Rut the old rule i .-.111! holds.

From Lakcwood Hospital Lieutenant "Andy" Kane was home over Easter. This may mean little to mosl citizens, but o "Andy," who made the sixty-five mile trip from the Lakciyood hospital In a specially fitted ambulance bed, nnd to his parents, anxious to see him about after eight months In bed, suffering from wounds received in action, It meant the difference between n dull, drab Easter and a gloriously happy one. Of course, he had to be carried to nnd from the special ambulance nnd he had to be moved from room to room in the house. But he was home, after more than a year spent In training nnd fighting the Germans, and recovering from wounds Inflicted by the enemy nt Flsmette. That was last summer. And Lieuten ant "Andy" hasn't walked since. The surgeons wanted to amputate his legs, but the grievously wounded veteran re fused, telling them he would keep' them nnd fight for the use ot them 'no matter how long it took to recover. And now It looks as If hs determination will win. Of course, lie can't walk, but his legs nre much better now and Lieutenant "Andy" is sunc it won't be long before he'll be wnlklng not ns well perhaps, hut walking. And bis mother is just as hopeful. "We don't like to be too optimistic," she said today, "but we certainly be lieve be is much better." "Andy" left for the base hospitnl at Lnkcwood last night. ,Hopic had been just what be knew it would be nnd he left more hopeful nnd determined than ever.
