Although Mayor Baker has not re ceived nominations for the committee to investigate rent profiteering1 in Portland, he has started the ma chinery gathering the evidence to be used by the committee. Yesterday Mayor Baker appointed "W. D. Whitcomb of Whitcomb, Whit field company, public accountants; Lionel C. Mackay, deputy city at torney, and Nelson S.

The entire office force of Whitcomb, Whit field coiripany has been turned over to the city for this investigation "without cost to the city, and it is ex pected that the necessary data will be compiled within a few days. "This committee began operations yesterday, with a two-fold purpose," explained Mayor Baker. "In the first place evidence will be gathered for the use of the committee of seven, to cave the committee time and work. It also will enable me to have the facts in the case and give me oppor tunity of publishing any flagrant cases that exist. "I am told that we can obtain all the necessary evidence without pass ing an ordinance. I also am told that cuch an ordinance as has been tempo rarily set aside, would materially in jure Portland. I am adopting the latest method to demonstrate what can be done. If .thaplan fa,ils, I will recommend the passage of the anti rent profiteering ordinance." Deputy City Attorney Mackay has worked for several weeks on the sub ject of rent 'profiteering, and has gathered hundreds of complaints. The tpecial committee will investigate all such complaints. ' .

The general im pression is that wool growing is a tremendously lucrative industry, when, as a matter of fact, under present conditions, it is a disgusting business." MRS.

Every man is a fighter, though he may not be a pugilist. His daily task is his fight and he needs to be fit and ready for it. Constipation to the business fighter is the "out-of-con-" dition " of the pugilist.
