 INSURANCE BROKER

Claiming that he lost $3.500 insur- ance because his broker did not in form him that his printing presses could not be moved, Edwin H. Abrams of New York has obtained Judgment of s3,500 against William F. Day of New York. Judge Shum- way of the Superior court handed down the decision to-day.

 and His Wife Recovering.

Washington, June 29.-Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee. who recently gave a liberal quantity of his blood to his wife, in order to save her life. has been obliged to go back to Georgetown Hospital for treatment himself. He came very near collap- sing yesterday, and was promptly put to bed again. At the same time Mrs. Lea suffered a slight relapse.
 Senator Lea left the hospital last week after remaining there only a few days following the transfusion of his blood. He had not remained long enough, and the strain of his work on the committee Investigating tine Lorimer case, coupled with the eX- tremely trying weather that has ob- tained in Washington this week, was too much for him. He has respond ed quickly to the treatment in the hospital, however, and is in no dan ger. Mrs. Lea is also considerably improved and is on the road to re- coyery.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY NEWS
By CONSTANCE CARRUTHERs

Washington, May 27.-(Special.)- The social season, so far as Washing ton is concerned soon will be over de- spite the fact that Congress will be in session indefinitely and the President and cabinet must remain in the city until the legislators finish up their work
 Already the hot weather has started the exodus and even if their husbands and fathers must keep "on the job" to use the vemacular, there Is no com polling reason why wives and daugh- ters should remain and swelter. And, of course, without the wives and daugh- ters there Is no society.
 Though the President has selected a summer home, not far from the one in which he spent the last two summers, to which Mrs. sTaft and Miss Taft will go next month, he can anticipate for himself only weekend outings with them, so long as the flag floats over the two houses of Congress.
 His cabinet, nearly ali of whom have summer homes within nights travel or less of Washington, to which their families will go before the last of July, will continue to preside in person over their respective departments, so long as the President is. here The Secre- tary of State will motor from time to
 
 ing an occasional weekend guest with him. The Secretary of the Treasury will make brief visits to his beauti- ful summer home in the New Hamp- shire hills The Attorney General may be so fortunate as to have more time at Marshfield. his place on Long Island. Another cabinet minister with sum mer home on Long Island, the new Sec retary of War may look forward to some recreation there after he has mas tered the routine of his office and be- fore the dog days are over. The Sec- retary of the Navy, who Is summer neighbor of the President, and the Sec 'retary of Commerce and Labor who also has a summer retreat in Massa- schusetts, cannot count on prolonged stays there until the summer is past it's zenith unless Congress puts through the public business with greater ex- petition than is anticipated.
 The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture will turn their faces westward when vacation time ar rives, and the Postmaster General has booked passage for Europe at that happy date.
 The representatives of foreign powers also are affected in the manner of sum mer plans by the length of the con- gressional session. While those who are to stay in this country have se- lected summer homes and those who are going abroad have chosen their ships, all dates of departure are tenta- tive. eH

 l The report that Maj. Archibald W. Butt. I military secretary and aide-de-camp to the President, has asked his friend Al bert Howell of Atlanta, to obtain for him a Georgia-made cracker quilt, and that Mir. Howell has undertaken the task has put social Washington agog and has re-
 vived the rumor that Major Butt con- templates matrimony.
 It will be recalled that Major Butt re- quested MT. Howell to get him an orig

 Washington home, at which Major Butt
 frequently entertains many worldwide
 notables.
 The report has been current for the past several years that Major Butt was to put an end to his bachelor existence, but each time. as it happened that the specific lady in fthe cast had been located, the announcement of her engagement to some- body else has followed
 No army officer has more friends than Major Butt, and socially he is the toast of Washington.
 His quest for a Georgia cracker quilt has reached the clubs and the salons of
 Washington, and 1t has created almost as much talk as the discussion of tariff re-
 vision.

 Dirt and disease have gone hand in hand too long. As modern surgery owes it's rapid strides to the banishment of dirt from the operating room. so modern medi- cine Is to come into it's own through the banishment of dirt from our communal life. The slum, the mother of disease. Is doomed. From ocean to ocean there IS a newly awakened perception of our inner ent right to decent conditions of living.
 We have paid dear for our slums and have given hostages to fortune, leaving a heavy debt for posterity. No one has attempted to estimate the cost to the na- ton of our bad housing conditions, be- cause it is impossible. Who can say how many of the industraliy inefficient are so because of lowered physical vitality caused by disadvantageous living condi- tions? Despite our vaunted civilization, our material prosperity. our diffusion of education, our greatly increased culture, we are still in some respects "barbarous America
 Tn most of our cities we are still in that parliamentary state of sanitary knowledge where we knew no better than to sur round ourselves with the vilest elements of human waste which we allow to re- main near the homes of the poor, turning living places into disease factories. We still suffer to remain even in crowded quarters of our cities, thousands of vile privies, vaults, sinks, cesspools and out door closets. Baltimore has 10000 earth closets and Is only now installing a sys- tenn of public sewers. St. Louis can still show 1000 privy vaults. Philadelphia, Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee. Pitts a Birmingham, all have to admit the pres ence of these ancient evils. Hardly a city in America is free from this blight.
 Just because these evils have been re- moved from our immediate sight we have foolshly fancied ourselves secure But the mighty miasmatc breath blown from the slums' penetrates to all parts of the town The effect upon health is direct and intimate. To the facilitating in1u- ence of the noisome odors in the hot sum- mer weather may be traced much of the illness of the poor. Myriads of flies feed on the contents of the vaults and then proceed to infect the food supply in the neighboring stores.
 Few cities have dealt effectively with this situation, but we are passing beyond the stage where the representative men deprecate the discussion of these condi- tions on the ground that it is bad for business" For seeing men realize that low death rate and a well earned reputa- ton as 'city of homes'' Is good asset for a community.
 Democracy itself seems to be an ob- stacle to sanitary progress. It Is In those cities where there are miles and miles of small houses owned by workingmen in which there is the greatest difficulty in meeting health needs. low tax rate be-

 This Calocide Is a very remarkable preparation for all foot ailments. Bun ions, corns and ingrown nails get in- stant relief and are soon cured. Bad smelling and sore feet need but few treatments Calocide is no longer con- fined to doctors use. Any druggist has it in stock or will quickly get 1t from his wholesale house. A twenty five cent package is usually enough to put the worst feet in fine condition. It will prove a blessing to persons who have been vainly trying intellectual tablets and foot powders.
