Health Officer Looking After Santa
ton Of Laborers' Camp.

With the limited number Of inspectors at
it's disposal the health department is MAIN
tanning as close surveillance as possible
of the various foreign laborers' camps
which have been set up about the District
in connection with the railroad project that

suit in the elimination of all grade cross
ings and the construction of a union pas
senger station.
Reports of the conditions prevailing at
the different camps are received every day

visit and give proper attention to the local
tiles.
Inspector Wollard has reported today Il
bad condition prevailing at thu Italian
camp in Patterson's woods, near Fairview,
and the matter will be given further atten-
ton by the health authorities.
He states that at the camp above referred
to he found about one hundred Italian la
borers, employed by Messrs. Laspada &
Degahn. housed in frame building the d.
mansions of which were seventy by twenty
by fifteen feet. The structure was not
properly ventilated nor lighted. He also
found no conveniences for the men. The

EXPLAINS ITS STATISTICS.
Health Officer Says Error Crept Into
Public Statement.

The health department feels that an
apology is due to the physicians and mid
wives Of the District on account of an
error made in It's statement Of vital sta
tistics for the past week and certain infer
ences deduceable therefrom. It was stated
that the number of birth returns received
during the week was much less than usual
and the decrease was attributed to the fact
that possibly In some cases physicians and
midwives had felt unwilling to pay the
necessary postage and that in others they
had neglected to make such returns be-
cause of the Inconvenience incident to The
purchase of necessary stamps, &c.
Upon the appearance of the published
statement that but thirtyfour returns had
been received, which was made on the
basis OF information received from the
clerk In charge of vital statistics, the clerk
having charge of correspondence reported
that 1O3 birth returns had been acknowl-
EDGED during the week. this data being
readily obtainable because of the record
showing the amount of postage paid for
mailing such acknowledges
An investigation disclosed the fact that
In compiling data for the weekly report the
returns for several days had been over
looked. The actual entries in the records
Of the department of birth returns received
during the past week show the receipts of
los such returns. and an examination Of
the returns on hand shows that number
now in the possession of the department.

THE HANDKERCHIEF.
Meaning Of the Linen Rectangles

From the Denver Republican
1t Is indeed true, as the French writer
says, that one needs handkerchiefs for the
mornings. handkerchiefs to walk with.
handkerchiefs to go to church with. hand
kerchiefs to lose and to give away. hand
kerchiefs for washerwOmen-and for lovers
to steal. and. he might have added hand
kerchiefs to leave behind to furnish clue
to the mystery; handkerchiefs for an OtheI-
10 to find and rave over. In Egypt the
handkerchief was counted amulet.
and among the Moors as love token. Gre
clan women appear on their vases musing
pensively with large cloth in the right
hand, and among the Romans the utilita-
rian use Of handkerchiefs was deplored by
Juvenal. With Elizabeth of England the
handkerchief, like all articles Of the toilet.
was much to be considered and was trim

Tiny squares of finest lawn. finely wrought.

For morning there are fine and thin grass

real Valenciennes lace. and very tiny they
are. too For there is never a pocket in an
evening gown. and 1t Is well to have tho
handkerchief small enough to be tucked
away in a small place.
For some reason a fine and pretty hand
