Mrs. NJ. B. NICK. Rochester-Your
treatment OF my scalp disease Is most
encouraging. Is there danger Of driv-

Mrs. L. p. Toronto, Canada-How
can color gray hair black without

Apply ammoniated mercury oint-

on alternate nights to the scalp. Clean
your hair with castor oil once a week.
D. X. New York-In my work I

To the people OF the District CT
Columbia, the alley bill is of utmost
Importance. IT provides for gradual
emptyinG os about II 900 inhabitants
out of 2sS alleys. and thus remove,
root and branch, the most unwhole-
some centers of disease, vice. snd
crime which the city contains
1t is too long story to tell here
how 1t came about that these alleys
are inhabited, but that they should
now be closed to habitation is gener-
ally accepted. They are winding and
intricate in their passages, hidden
from the view Of the street, some-
times housing between two and
three hundred people-breedinS; places
Of moral and physical evils which
disgrace the fair name Of the Capital.
One-half Of the children born to
colored mothers in the alleys are
ilegitimate, many of these are born to
girls from thirteen TO eighteen years
OF age. Communicable diseases pre-
vail to a greater extent within the
alleys, and the alley death rate is
nearly twice that of the street, with
the result that the general death
rate Of Washington is higher than
mat of forty-one of the fifty cities in
inc United States having n popula-
hon Of 10000 or more. New York,
with her congested foreign ropula-
non. has death rate far celow that
of Washington.
Congressman Became Interested
Many Congressman became inter-
ested last spring in the problem Of
the best method of obtaining effect
i've legislation for eliminating the
habitatIon of the alleys. Senator
Jones introduced a bill proposing
that all houses should be closed to
habitstion by 1915. The men and
women who had been working to
arouse enthusiasm were greatly en-
couraged by the introduction of that
bill. but il seemed to them that to
"Vict SO many persons in SO short a
period would work a hardship upon
IN" tenants and would not give prop
erty owners an opportunity TO con-
vert their holdings TO other uses.
The committee of fifty on the elm
NATION of inhabited alleys appointed
an executive committee of seven to
draft a bill. The members Of this
committee of seven were reprNseptA-
tlves of seven organixa4io0e-too

Club. the woman's department Of the
National Civic Federation. the SAINT

cents Homes Commission. and the

Diocese OF Washington After
months Of careful consideration a
bill was evolved which was SUBJ

be prevented for the same length of
time. AS the erection of frame
buildings is forbidden within the fire
limits of the city. the alley build
ings are of brick. and no matter how
insanitary inside. they often have
good. substantial walls. Since these
houses often pay higher rate OF
interest than houses on the street.

repair to prevent their demolition
being ordered.

that experience, II does not seem a
difficult task TO provide for 11.000

make such provisions.
Many Houses Vacant.
According to a recent police census
of vacant houses in the District OF
Columbia renting at s15 or less per
month, COS unoccupied houses were
found, two-thirds OF which are pos
sibly at a low enough rental to conc
within reach of the alley tenant
These 400 houses, accommodating
five persons each. would accommo-
date 1000 people. Also the Sanitary
Housing Company. whose houses for
negroes rent at from $40 10 1850
each per month. are ready to erect a

passes. In fact. there is no doubt
that suitable provision will be made

who would be concerned in the
carrying out of the provisions of the
bill. Then. after the suggestions
which were considered good had
been incorporated. the bill was sent
by the Commissioners. with their
unqualified Endorsement. to both the
House and the Senate.
To Reclaim Land.
This bill proposes to close the alleys
TO habitation, one-tenth each year
for a period OF ten years. An alley
after being closed to habitation will
be treated by the Commissioners !n
such a manner as deemed best for
the public good. In the alleys wsere
there are only a few residents, the
houses will revert to those rses for
which they originally were intended.
Where there is a greater number OF
houses. and in the northwest section
especially. the alleys can be used
for business purposes or converted
into minor streets. Instances are to
be found in the northwest where all
the houses In alleys already have
been converted into workshops, sta
bles or garages, and where the rent
in each case is as much or more
than that for the original house.
This could never be the case in the
southwest, where are many Of our
worst alleys, because there is small
demand for the property for busi-
ness or garage purposes. Where a
minor street is put through, II will
be paid for in the usual manner pro-
vided for the extension or opening Of
streets. and in some cases the houses
upon one side OF an alley may be
saved.
In a survey which was made by
a subcommittee of the committee OF
fifty. 1t was suggested that 90 Of
the alleys be depopulated; that sixty
eight be converted into minor streets.
and that Of the 800 to be depopufated
twenty-seven be converted to husi-
ness uses because Of their central
location. The depopulation Of 2c0
alleys does not seem such an Under
taking when II Is known that this
number includes all OF those having
the smallest number Of houses, and
that 159 Of these have under ten
houses each.
Alley Buildings Barred.
Twenty-Five years ago a law was
passed prohibiting the erection Of
Sny dwellings, in alleys. This pro-
AabitiA& together with the fact that
01Aay q the most insanitary OF
9WesiiUgs were demolished by the
board Of the condemnation OF the
sanitary dwellings, has caused such
ings within the alleys that many
have thought that in time the ques-
ton would solve itself.
But the people OF Washington can
not allow the evil influence Of the
alley to continue for fifty or sixty
years, while the use Of the alleys for
more legitimate purposes would also

READJUST CAREY ACT PROJECTS
Congressman French Fav0rs Compile.
ton of Projects Before Settlers Buy
Water Rights.

WASHINGTON Apr. "A hearing
was held before the committee on ir-
rigation of arid lands on Saturday on
Representative French's bill amend
ing the Carey act so as to place more
responsibility upon the government
and the states in the administration of
the law
While there has been much of sue
cess under the Carey act and many
prosperous projects, other projects
have been failures and the settlers up
on them have lost the money that they
have put in or have received an in
sufficient amount of water to irrigate
the lands.
Under the French bill it would need
to be definitely determined that a suf-
ficient supply of water exists for the
project and the land would not be
open to settlement until the water was
ready to be placed upon the lands
a policy that recently has been fol-
lowed by the government in reclama-
ton projects. This would insure set
tiers against loss as they would not
buy water rights blindly but only up
on projects where it had been demon
strated that the projects were a sue
cess. 1t is also urged that they would
place the irrigation under the law into
responsible hands in every
instance and consequently would be
better for bondholders as well, and
save the good name of the states oper-
ating under the Carey act laws.
The committee is intensely interest
ed in the question and is awaiting the
report from the department upon the
subject.
