TO MAKE DODGERS
OPEN THEIR WINDOWS
London Begins a Reform Which, II
10 Said, 10 Likely Soon to
Reach New York.

LONDON, May "a great hui
iabaloo, Is rising out OF Paddington
on account OF q new law Of the Bor-
ough Council, the first OF its kind IL
the world, and one which, 1t Is said
New York Is likely soon to adopt.
The ordinance provides that every
lodger In a tenement shall, except In
special circumstances, cause his bed
room windows to be opened for at
least one hour In the morning and
one hour I'm the afternoon. II Is also
made the duty Of every lodger TO have
the floor OF his bedroom swept daily
and washed at least once a week.
There are no such regulations in
London proper or In New York, IN
both Of which great cities there are
vast intensely congested districts
where epidemics Of one kind or an
other constantly attack the illnour-
ished inhabitants, old and young, and
carry thousands TO untimely graves.
A good many respectable dwellers
in the Paddington tenements are cry
ing out that. though they have no
rooted objection to fresh air, they
hate the idea OF being subject TO
"czar.like" personal regulations.
The open-window ordinance will
not apply to private houses, hotels or
expensive fats. Those classes OF tho
population are privileged here as else
where.
Seyeral years ago some Of the Lon
don borough councils made bylaws
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-05-24

requiring landlords of tenements and
lodging houses TO clean and white
wash the places once year. In 1908
the high court decided in a test case
In Islington that the ordinance was
unreasonable and invalid. John Burns,
the president of the local government
board. then put into the town plan
ming bill a clause definitely giving
sanitary authorities powers such as
those which Islington had sought to
enforce.
Paddington Is the first borough to
remodel It's laws on the town plan
ming act. The reform il expected 10
sweep over the united kingdom.

MOURNING CUSTOMS.
They Are Very Ancient, and Expert
Differ as to Their Origin.

They Are Very Ancient, and Experts
Differ as to Their Origin.
The origin of going into mourning
was discussed recently by a body Of
anthrOpOlogiSts. Some students hold
that the wearing of black was orig
finally a disguise assumed rs Il prOtec-
ton from the dead PERSONS spirit.
The idea was that the deceased was
naturally diSgusted to find himself
dead and that he wreaked his resent
ment upon his relations. Therefore
the relations thought that to alter
escape. and all over the world wells
were used to hide the faces of mourn
ers-a practice still surviving In the
impenetrable veil Of the widow.
The DISCUSSES mOurners usetl-such
rs the veil. the turning of the clothes
inside out and the shaving of the head,
as practiced by the .AinOs-were Sim
pie enough, but supernatural beings
We're always, it appeared, easy to
trick.
Another theory of mourning was
that 1t was put on to warn people that
its wearers had been contaminated by
death. There was an idea Of pollution
attached to the great mystery. All
early people shared the horror of death
and the fear Of the return of the spir-
its. Thus In the Sudan widows sprin-
kle their food with ashes to prevent
their husbands ghosts from eating 1t.

THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS.
They Extend East and West For Nor
Than a Thousand Miles.

They Extend East and West For More
Than q Thousand Miles.
Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way Of Alaska. Nearly q
thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the orient by cOasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, which extend
In q chain east and west for more
than q thousand miles. are inhabited
by the remnant Of the Aleuts. Their
war Of the revolution closed just as
the American Revolutionary war be-
gan. So patriotic were the Aleuts. 80
brave in their struggle for independ-
ence, that they succumbed to the Rus
SLAMS only after q conflict Of nearly
fifty years, and then simply because
the race was almost exterminated In
the struggle.
While the Aleutiah islands must
eventually form an important link In
the commerce between the United
States and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Boring
