Approximately three years ago, Vice

instrumental in having established in

Next in 1912, Mr.. Kriegshaber inau-
gurated dental examination in two Of
the Atlanta schools, with the prospect
of an early extension of this work to
all the schools of the city
Fight on the Hookworm.
The committee on health brought to
Atlanta the first Southern Hookworm
conference, in which IS states were rep
resented, and the result of which was
the dissemination Of more information
regarding this disease than had ever
before been given the public. 1t also
resulted in greatly stimulating the work
of state and local boards of health in
Graduating this disease.

Atlanta Anti tuberculosis association,
contributing to it's funds and rendering
assistance in other directions, looking
to the prevention of the spread of tu-

It's action in putting through the 49,
100000 bond issue, as a result of which
Atlanta's sewer system has been vastly
improved and sanitary conditions bet

best things it has ever done for At

The chamber will continue it's eff

Old Menelik is dead Gadzooks,

He s died some ten or twenty times
And died for keeps-before
The way he cashes in his checks
Gives me a mighty pain.
He hardly gets one death pulled off,
When-psit he dies again!
He died when he was but lad,
He passed away in youth,
He died when he became a man
Three separate times, forsooth -
When he grew old, and bent, and gray,
He died some more, alackl
But every time he died, we knew

Residents Of exclusive Blewellyn

day appealed to Chancellor
Stevens's aesthetic judgment to de-
eide if the removal of stone from a
three-acre wooded section is detri-
mental 10 the beauty of the park
The appearance before the vice.
chancellor was on a rule to show
cause why Charles Kocher. a con-
tractor who also resides in Llewellyn
Park, should not be restrained from
removing tho stone. although he was
taking it from property he owned
and which he secured through a quit
claim deed on March 10.
William Reed Howe and Albert c..
Wall appeared as attorneys for
George Merck and other property
owners in the park. Mr.. Howe and
Mr.. Wall are also residents of the
park, and for that reason took d
greater interest in the case.
The issue hinged on previous de-
eision to a similar case before Chan
cellor Runyon in reference to the
same park. 1t provided that stone
might only be removed from one sec
ton of the park TO another to make
improvements.
This was the stand Vice-Chanoellor
Stevens took in today's case. He al
lowed an order to issue restraining
Mr.. Kocher from removing stone, eX-
cept for the bona fide purpose of i'm
proving property. MIR. Kocher is taxi
ing the stone from his property to be
used in the building of a retaining
wall in front of the new residence of
Mrs. A J. Motion.
Mr.. Kocher's land is eneumbered by
back taxes to the amount OF about
$500. due in part TO the Ilewellyn
park trustees. The compliments
held that this debt was a lien on his
property and that he was endangering
this lien by depreciating the value of
the plot
The stone is being removed from a
section of the park known as THE
Ramble,' tract laid out for use as

HOUSING PROBLEM
CALLED 3-FOLD
What Bad Homes Mean to the
State Discussed by New
Jersey Association.
EVILS OF UNSANITARY
MODES OF LIVING
One Speaker Says That Man Is
Not Free Who Is Forced TO
Dwell in Sluns.

Housing conditions as they exist in
this city and throughout the State,
and possible solutions therefor, we're
discussed at the first conference Of
the Now Jersey State Housing As
ISOLATION in the rooms Of the Board
Of Works at the City Hall today
There were more than 100 delegates
from various sections of the State
In attendance when the conference
was opened by W. L. Kinkead, Of
Paterson. who served as chairman.
The housing problem, it was set
forth. Is a three-fold one; sanitary,
social and structural. Responsibility
for most of the present horrible con-
1itions which exist In many sections
of the State was placed on existing
laws. AS explained by the speakers,
there is no Capitalization of power,
the responsibility being divided be-
tween too many departments. II was
suggested that one body could SUI
pervise the construction of all houses,
whether one or two-family, making
them conform TO certain require
ments.
MIR. Kinkeads Address.
Mr.. Kinkead in his opening address
touched on the point that in several
cities the superintendent of buildings
decides whether a building should be
called an apartment or a tenement.
He pointed out that this designation
should be made by law. Concluding,
he said
The Declaration of Independence
says that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
This statement is still true. to GER
tain extent, so far as the creation of
man is concerned, but that all men
have an equal chance or even that
all men are free is not true today, for
the man who, by force of circum-
stances, is born in the slums-and all
