NEW YORK, July 1.-THE unprece-
dented hot wave that has smitten the
country has wrought great hardships
on the crowded tenement house dwell
ers in the large cities. particularly In
New York, where many pitiful deaths
are reported. The mortality among
the children has, of course, run high.
HOSPITALS and charitable workers have
been pressed to the utmost to take
care of the sufferers. In New York's
crowded east side children and grown
ups, too, have been sleeping on roofs,
on fire escape landings, on the docks
and in the parks. In some cases chill
dren's beds and cots were removed to
alleyways that separated the lofty, suf-
locating tenements. Penny ice cream
bricks and glasses of lemonade, cost
ing from cent to cents, have been
taking the place of food. The flushing
of streets by the fire department has
afforded some little relief to children,
who plunged into the streams gushing
forth from the hydrants. Monday, July
