HOUSING EVILS ARE CITED
London Lancet Believes New
York May Profit From the
Example of Liverpool.
Special Cabiegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram to The Star.
LONDON, September New York, ac-
cording to The Lancet, may be able to
learn something when the fifteenth Inter
national Congress Of Hygiene and De-
biography meets at Washington Septem-
ber q.
1.-The United States generally and Goth
am in particular it says, 'have allowed
most dangerous evils to grow up in re-
gard to the housing question, while no
city has done more or better in dealing
with the most difficult phases of the mat
ter than Liverpool whose corporation
will be represented at the congress.
Liverpool Sets the Pace"
1.-The difficulty is much greater in Eng
land than in the United States. Neverthe-
less it is England, especially Liverpool,
that sets the pace"
1t is to be noted that the American
statistics which the Lancet quotes to sup
port its argument are taken from the
figures put before the International Con-
gress Of tuberculosis four years ago. The
most striking of them was that in New
York alone there were 100000 rooms,
mostly in the central part of large tene-
ment dwellings, where the daylight never
penetrated.

Loses $40.

Another victim Of the street swindlers'
Washington recently reported his loss to
the police yesterday. He Is Charles w
Farrar, a resident of Morgantown, W.
Va, and was in this city yesterday after
noon long enough to surrender $50 to two
Strangers. He appealed to Detective

remarked when he had finished telling
his story. And having railroad ticket
he proceeded on his journey to Roanoke
Va, where, he stated, his brother died
recently.
Accosted by Stranger.
Farrar, who is between twenty-five and
thirty years old, reached Union Station
shortly before 5 o'clock, and was stand
ing there viewing the Columbus statue
when a man accosted him.
Are you a stranger in the city, he
was asked.
81 am" was his response.
$50 am t. the other said. Suppose
we 60 out together to see the sights.
In the Capitol grounds third man was
met. A game of matching pennies was
proposed, and. soon the man known as
swindler No. 2 accused + arrar and his
companion OF being crooked.
I'm no crook" was Farrar's indignant
response.

The man who had made the accusation
saw no reason to withdraw his statement
he stated, and said something about call
ing a policeman.
ITO show I'm not crooked said Far
A. i
never met him until today"
Then the man he had first met suggest
ed to Farrar that they separate, go In
different directions and meet at the Union
station. suggesting that the other man
might call policeman and cause trouble
Farrar reached Union station a little
later in the day and awaited the coming
of his friend and the money. He got
tired of waiting and left the city after
| telling his troubles to the detective.

Decisions Meet Approval.

DR.. William Tindall acted as judge, as
he did in the contests last year and the
year before. The boys and girls were all
pleased with the fairness of his awards
even when they went against them. The
prizes were gold medals for the girls get
ting the first award in their classes, and
bronze medals for the boys who won
first place in each class. The prizes,
which were awarded by Dr. Louis F.
Zinkham. were donated by two little
girls, the daughters of an army officer
stationed in the Canal Zone. About three
years ago they visited the school, and
became much interested in the work
there. They thought that perhaps they
could stimulate interest in swimming
among both the girls and the boys, and
decided to give the medals each year to
those excelling in this branch of sport.
After the medals were given to the
winners. c. w. Skinner. superintendent
of the school. introduced Miss Julia
Lathrop, the head of the newly estab-
lished federal children's bureau, who
made an address to the children. O. e.
Darnall superintendent of the National
Training School for Boys, also talked
to the boys and girls. but mostly to the
boys. His hearers gave him big well
come. After the races were over, Mrs.
Skinner and her daughter served refresh
ments to their friends and the friends Of
the school who had come out to see the
contests.

Divided Into Glasses.

The boys were divided into three
classes-those under twelve years old,
those thirteen and fourteen years old
and the boys over fourteen. The young
est boys held their contests first. The
program was the same as that arranged
for the girls. Robert Sutherland, John
Mulvihill and Louis Pascal finished in
the order named. In the next older class
of boys and in the other contests SWIM
ming under water was added to the
events, and a maximum of twenty points
was allowed. Twenty points. instead of
thirty, as in the other classes, were al
lowed in the diving contests and the
swim across the pool, in which the ease
and grace of the swimmer were the con-
sideration with the judge A jack-knife
dive was also included in the older boys
contests.
In the class of boys twelve and thirteen
years old, Joseph Petrillo, whose sisters
had starred in the earlier contests, car
ried off first prize. Following him in
order of merit were Irving Wood and
Joseph Hollidge. In the older boys class
Fred Cherry was given first place,
Horace Harwood second and Raymond
Weldon third. Wade Murphy, the big
gest boy in the school, lost an excellent
chance of finishing among the first three
by failing to come up to expectations in
the underwater swim. He actually swan
farther than any of the boys. but un-
fortunately lost his sense of direction
while under the water, and made almost
complete circle

Cheered on by a large crowd of their
friends. the boys and girls of the In
duStrial Home School who could swim
took part in the third annual aquatic
contests of the institution, which was
held in the scnool pool Yesterday after
noon. Rain threatened until the time for
the first contest, but after that the sun
came out bright-so bright, in fact, that
II was comfort only to the swimmers.
The first event which was started
promptly at 2:3O oclock, was an obstacle
race for girls thirteen years old and
under. They started at one end Of the
pool, which is about fifty yards long,
swan to the other end, climbed out and
touched the fence, which is a few steps
way jumped back into the water and
swan to the starting point.
After the race they swan across the
pool near the end, and the Judge noted
the ease with which each girl swan, and
the skill shown. Iney were then requir-
ed to swim the width of the pool on
their backs. the judges making notes as
before, and giving credit according to
merit.
Diving Comes Next.
Next came the diving Each girl had
to do her best with plain standing dive
from the springboard. After that they
did a running front dive from the board.
If they thought they could accomplish
any special stunts they were permit
ted to try them and they counted in the
score.
The total number Of points possible to
make in the race was forty. Thirty points
was the maximum allowed on the per-
formance shown in the water, including
the swim on the back, and the same num-
Der of points could be gained in the div
ing contest. Virginia Massey was award
ed the nrst prize in this class, with jean
nette Acton second, and Katie Mudd
third.
The girls thirteen years old and over
followed with the same program. Lena
Petrillo was judged to be first, with
Blanche Connors close second. Minnie

third in this class

Birth. Announcement:

Many people do not like the idea Of
announcing the birth Of a child insthe
says FLORENCE, Howe Hull.
They argue that 1t is not matter to
interest the general public, but only
the friends of the parents. The old
English custom was to tie up the door
knocker with a white kid glove ais an
announcement Of the happy event. A
pretty modern method is to have
baby's name, without any prefix. writ
tenor engraved. on a tlnS.card This
is fastened to the visiting cardsof the
mother with a small bow of; white
ribbon and sent to relatives and
friends through the mail.
On receiving such an announcement
friends gall and Inquire after THE
6ealth Of mother and child, leaving
cards for the former. Some persons
leave them for the baby also, but this
seems rather absurd. Instead Of call
Ing one may send a note Of congratu,
latlon or write little message OF
felicitation-on ones card. b.
, Gifts may be sent at this time OF
later when the christening takes place
as may be preferred. 80. -q.-!

Good Form In Dress.

Few women know. how to put on
their lethes. This sounds Ike avery
startling statement. but let Us stop
and think over the matter quietly, -
How frequently we see women with
dainty. well made and even well cut
bIouses. and yet how few. appreciate
the beauty of the garment, and why?
Because the blouse is not pulled down
tightly at the waist line and fastened
In place either by hooks and loops or
safety pins. Then, too, the collar ia
probably not carefully boned. SO that It
will ct the neck snugly. Each woman
should study the shape OF her own
neck mot some one else'sl and find
Just where the bones must be placed
In order to make the collar at well.
A still better plan is to take a piece
Of heavy paper and cut a pattern for
the collar which exactly dts the throat
and then have every collar made from
that pattern. Curve it down under
the chin so that the collar. will not
break, then let It stand ups high just
back Of the ears and In the middle of
the back. y .s5EasE fm$-,
