ALLEYS IN WASHINGTON.
High Death Rate Among Alley DWELL
ers Revealed In New Directory.

Washington.-A directory of the in
habited alleys of this city has been
compiled under the direction of DR..
Thomas Jesse Jones. chairman of the
housing committee of the Monday
Evening club The work has bee
printed through the generosity Of sew
eral members of the club.
There are in Washington 30 blocks
which have inhabited alleys, These
alleys contain 1881 dwelling houses
and approximately 10000 inhabitants
..Conversion into minor streets is the
effective remedy for the larger alleys.
Complete elimination of dwelling
houses is the cure for the smaller al
leys."
The term alley as used in this di-
rectory is any passageway or thor
oughfare within the block. less than
forty feet in width. which has at least
one dwelling facing upon it. In any
case where the passa geway is over
forty feet wide it IS still regarded as
an alley. provided it does not extend
straight through the block from one
street to another.
The alley death rate per 1000 in 1910
for all ages was 5000 as against 1I.o6
for the death rate of people living un-
der ordinary conditions: for children
under one year. 3I3.4a against l5S.66.
The colored people in the alleys OF
Washington had the following alarm
/ ing death rates in 1910 per 100000;
/ Pneumonia. 432.s: tuberculosis. 621-3;
whooping cough. 2l.9: diarrhea ,chil'

A Useful CT

A writer in an English church maya
zine once found in a GOLFERS cottage
in Staffordshire a coffin used as a
bread and cheese cupboard. Notwith-
standing his wife's remonstrance, he
told the story of the coffin as follows:
Eighteen years ago l ordered that
coffin. The wife and me used to have
a good many words. One day she
said, I'll never be content till I see
thee in thy coffin We'll. lass said,
If that'll content thee it'll soon be
done
Next day gave directions to have
the thing made. In a few days it
came home, to the wife's horror. got
into It and said, Now, lass, are thee
contentY She began to cry and want
ed the 'horrid thing taken away. But
that / wouldn't allow. In the end she
got accustomed to seeing it, and as we
wanted to turn it to some use we had
some shelves put in and made it into
bread and cheese cupboard. We have
never quarreled since it came"
