tihcate. 1t probably viii never attract
any attention Hundreds OF other GER
tificatcs are filed in the same cabinet to-
day.
The true story about Edna GIrley's
death was told today by physician
and her mother. who described herself
as II poor black woman"
Edna Girley was a slum child She
was born and died in the sluns. Her
parents are among the thousands of resi-
dents IN the 7th Ward. who never knew
what 1t was TO live in sanitary dwellings.
Edna died last Saturday. She had suf-
fered from disease inherited from her
mother. The attending physician says
the mothers allment was chiefly due to
living In different insanitary houses.
Lombard street, between 10th and 1fth
streets, is lined with rows of brick dwell
ings. In the rear OF the houses facing
the street are other houses The houses
in the rear, according to socIologlsts. re-
semble caves"
The home of the Girley family is IN
the rear OF 1927 Lombard street. They
have three rooms The rent is $3.50 a
month.
When Edna died last Saturday It didn't
create any talk or gossip. If a white
child OF the slums had died, old-timers
OF the 7th Ward declare, no more interest
would have been excited.
SO when an undertaker's wagon drove
up to 1927 Lombard street last Monday
storekeepers and idlers made Inquiries n
to who was dead They heard that Edna
Girley mad died They seemed to be nm
concerned. The next day a funeral fol-
lowed.
Edna Girley was the child of Mrs. Stella
Girley She was the only child. Mrs. Cir
ley's husband, Alfred is an honest Negro.
He is a porter for a typewriter company. |
The Glrleys don't believe in insanitary |
houses. But they can't afford to rent high |
priced houses. So they live In the slums.
DR.. s. A. Savitz, OF 1925 Tasker street,
who attended Edna. believes her death |
was due to the insanitSry conditions ex-
istlng in the slums of Philadelphia.
Doctor Savitz has been attending the
iirleys for more than two years. He first
treated Mrs. Grley when she became in
fected with a disease because she was
by hlth and dirt.
II treated the mother the best could %
says Doctor Savitz, but there were no
facilities In the Girley house to bring /.
about a positive cure. There was no
1athtub. There was no clean water. In
ianttary conditions prevailed. Her un-
BORN child became affected. The child
vas born. The infant contracted the
disease from which the mother was suf-

! ferlng. There might have been chance
to save the baby's life with sanitary con-
ditions in the house Instead, the child
| died from a wasting disease and starva-
tion. The mother couldn't feed her child
and the milk purchased in stores didn't
agree with the infant"
Mrs. Glrley is like other residents in
the Tth Ward. She fears to talk of in
sanitary conditions. This ward is repre-
sented by Select Councilman Charles
Seger. Mr.. Seger is chairman OF the
subcommittee on Finance of Councils He
has also expressed himself as being
against the new Division Of Housing and
Sanitation.
The Division OF Housing and Sanitation
was created by an act passed by the Leg
isature. Governor Tener signed the bill.
The act, II enforced, would have resulted
in the employment of more women and
men inspectors. These persons would
have been able to keep a better watch on
the owners Of tenements who violate the
sanitary laws.
Today there is no Thanksgiving in the
Glrley home. The Girleys miss Edna.
Mrs. Girley is consollng herself and her
husband. Her argument is that black
and white children die daily in the sums.
I'VE miss Edna" said Mrs. GlrIey to-
day. Probably II we had been fortunate
to have had better quarters in years gone
by our little girl would be alive today"
The following letter was sent by Direc-
tor George W. Norris, president of the
Philadelphia Housing Commission to
many prominent citizens;
Lest we forget that home problems
are pressing even while wars victims

ton, we send the enclosed folder. Here

LONDON, Nov. ss-That the activity
OF German submarines In the North Sea
and English Channel continues unabat-
ed is shown by the blowing up Of the
British steamship Mslaohite while bound
from Liverpool to Havre.
The Malachite. which was owned by
the Cunard Line, was stopped three miles
west Of Cape Lavel by German sub
marine and her crew was allowed 10
minutes 70 get into the ships small
boats. When this was done the sub
marine fired torpedo, which sank the
English merchantmen. Then the sub
marine disappeared. leaving the Mala-
ohite's sailors TO make their way TO
Havre' which they did In safety.
Unconfirmed rumors we're circulated in
shipping circles today to the effect that
the British converted cruiser Cymric. for
merly White Star liner, had been sunk
by the Germans In the North Sea.
