Mostly Recent Immigrants.

The report shows that the population
of congested districts is composed for the
most part of recent immigrants, one-third
of the families canvassed having been
in the United States less than five years,
and two-thirds less than ten years. But
few native-born and older immigrant
families were found in the areas canvass
ed and they were remnants of an earlier
population, most of whom, because of
improved economic conditions, had moved
10 better surroundings.
The actual degree of crowding in the
areas canvassed is shown for each city
and each race studied. 1t was found
that in all the cities covered the average
number of persons per hundred rooms
occupied, including kitchens, was 134.
and the average number per hundred
sleeping rooms. 3d.. The number of
persons per hundred rooms occupied in
the different cities is as follows: Boston,
III; Philadelphia, al; New York and
Cleveland, 139; Buffalo, 1873; Chicago,
126, and Milwaukee, 115.

CR0WD|NG IN CITIES
immigration Commission Says
Reports Are 0verdraWn.

Unhealthful Conditions Charged to
Neglect of Authorities.
HOMES CLEAN, STREETS DIRTY
Statistics Are Given for Each City
Visited and for Each Race
Studied.
STUDY OF ALIEN RESIDENTS
HOMES CLEAN, STREETS DIRTY

Contradcting the general opinion, the
latest report of the immigration commits
sion. submitted to Congress today, de-
clares reports of the crowding of immi-
grants in congested districts of large
cities and of bad living conditions among
the foreigners are much overdrawn.
To the Indifference on the part of munic-
ipal authorities in keeping streets in the
congested districts clean, rather than to
sne csrelessness of the families living
there, the commission blames unhealthful
conditions along the thoroughfares of i'm
migrant sections.
The report, prepared under the direc-
ton of E. A. Goldenweiser, will make
a volume of about six hundred pages and
is based on the study of over 10000
households in some of the most longest
ed districts of New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Buffalo and
Milwaukee.

Some Unusual Features.

The placing of the organ in the church
differs from the ordinary and in itself
increases the effectiveness of the instr,l-
ment. The great and choir departments
with suitable pedal are placed at the
south side of the choir. while the swell
and pedal departments occupy the CORE
!, spending position the north, and the
| keyboard is located in the choir at the
north side near the swell organ. There Is
q professional organ placed in the choir
room. played from the choir organ key
board. which is invaluable aid in sing
| ing the professional and feature seldom
| found.
| Another unusual feature in a church or
gan is the set of twenty tubular chimes,
played from the organ keyboard. the eff
| fectiveness Of which must be heard to be
| appreciated.
| Every connection from the keyboard to
the different departments of the organ is
| operated by electricity, giving the lighteSt
/ touch and instantaneous response and
placing the entire organ under the easy
| control of the organist
Latest Mechanical Accessories.
! The mechanical accessories are all of
the latest type, a number of which have
never been used before. The adjustable
combination, operated by pistons under
pedal pistons, is one of the greatest
combinations that have ever been invent
ed and enables the organist to change
the stops on any combination at will
| without interfering with the playing or,
| if desired, he can arrange the entire reg
| istration of musical selection before
beginning to play. and all the changes in
stops can be made automatically, as de-
sird, without touching the knobs.
| The grand crescendo pedal, operated by
piers in their regular order of power, is
also great convenience. By reversing
the movement of this pedal the stops are
Cancelled in their inverse order.
TIL organ has manuals, 81 speaking
stops, IA couplers, unison separations,
4 mechanical registers, Is adjustable
combination pistons, 10 pedal movements
and 1858 pipes.
| The wind is furnished by a large CEN
trifugal fan blower driven by electric
motor

Some Exceptional Cases.

Exceptional cases of three or four
persons per room were found, but such
cases are not representative of normal
conditions; for even among the races
showing the greatest degree of crowd
ing in no case does the average number
of persons per all rooms occupied exceed
two per room
An interesting fact developed by the
commissions inquiry is that one family
out of every ten visited owned it's own
home. Home ownership is most common
in Milwaukee, where one in every five
families visited owned the home in which
it lived, while in the other cities the
proportion follows: Chicago,
Cleveland and Buffalo, one in six; Phil
adelphia, one in fifteen; Boston, one in
twenty-five; New York, one in 200. So
far as cleanliness is concerned about
fve-sixths of all the houses Investigated
were found to be in fairly good, or good,
condition.

Majority of Homes Clean.

While the majority of the homes
were clean, the streets in the con-
gested districts studied were usually
dirty, and in many cases this was
due to Indifference on the part of city
authorities in keeping out-of- the-way dis
tricts clean, rather than to careIessness
on the part of the families living there.
Sanitary conditions in the districts can
vassed also depend largely on the cities,
rather than on the occupants of the
homes. and there are marked differences
between the various cities in this regard.
The existence and growth of foreign
colonies in large cities are due to the
fact that immigrants generally join their
friends or relatives, and remain. for a
time, at least, in the neighborhood where
they first settle; but among the Older
immigrants economic progress and a de-
sire for better surroundings have brought
about more general distribution.

barn. virtually giving him city waterworks

The other is portable ION wheels). It

saws his wood. 1t runs l. H. G. shelters and

This farmer realizes that profitable crops
can only be secured through proper fertiliza-
ton. With an |. H. c. Manure Spreader, he
makes every pound of manure cover far more
ground than when he laid it on with pitch
fork. 1t shreds finely and shreds evenly, and

of the meanest features of one of the most

Arithmetic BY Hand.

We shall never be In danger OF for
getting that our ancestors did their
sums on their fingers so long as arith
metic retains the word "digits.' But
modern civilization knows nothing Of
the elaborate developments Of this
method. 1t takes a Wallachian peas
ant to multiply s by 8 on his hands
This Is how he does It: The fingers OF
either hand, beginning with the thumb
stand for the numbers from @ TO 10
SO the ring finger of one hand and the
middle finger of the other are stuck
out to represent and 0. Counting
the fingers remaining on the side far
thest from the thumbs he finds them
l and 2 respectively, and l multiplied
by 2 gives him the units of bis prod
uct-2. Then he counts from the
thumbs to the stuck out fingers inclu-
sive. finds them and 4, adds these
and gets Z for his tens. Answer, q
All this to avoid knowing the multi
pllcation table beyond times Al
