One-SiXth of Tuberculosis Gases Start in Cheap Lodging Houses

| Washington, May 12.-The close is emphasized in report made public today by the public health
 service after an extensive investiga- F tion in many cities. One-sixth of all
 tuberculosis cases, it declares, de- E Velop in cheap lodging houses, and
 one-ffth are tracable to occupational
 hazards and bad working conditions.
 ''The great factor underlying the entire prob1em,' says the report, 'is seemingly that of economic con- ditions.''
 AS examples statistics gathered in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are cited. Tn the former city's tenement dis trict tuberculosis morbidity was found to be three times as great as in the better sections, and the aver age monthly income of 197 families in which cases were found was com- puted as $57. The same condition was discovered in Pittsburgh, where nearly 2O,000 factory workmen sub- rnitted to physical examinations in the course of the Investigation
 The report also points out the varying effect of immigration on the increase of tuberculosis. It says: Almost without exception cities with higher percentage of Irish, Scandi- navian and German stock, and those in which the negro population is relatively large, have a correspond ingly high mortality while those where the Italian and Jewish element is proportionately great have a low tuberculosis death rate. Such cities as Detroit and Cleveland, with hun dreds of population increase, show a low tuberculosis mortality, while Cincinnati and Baltimore, with a relatively small population increase, have high tuberculosis rate Doubtless thetrue explanation of this discrepancy Is that where the popu- lation increase is rapid new buildings are erected to take the place of old structures and better hous- ing conditions prevail

 Benefits Of Catholic Education

In an address that fairly scintillated with enthusiasm, Grand Knight Will liam J. Shanahan of Mt. Benedict council, K. of C., of Somerville, Mass, delivered a brilliant discourse at the annual banquet of Daly council, K. of C.. in the dining room of the Hotel Beloin last evening. For over an hour the large gathering present listened with interest to the wonder ful results that are being attained throughout the length and breadth Ot the land today through Catholic edl cation as described by MT. Shannahan. Harking back to the ancent days MT. Shannahan spoke of the means that were pursued to educate men in re- ligion, mental and physical training and later in pursuit of higher educa- ton.
 Present conditions. however, the speaker said have changed, and to attain this higher education religion is often times neglected. In a gen. eral manner MT. Shannahan spoke of the excellent results that Catholic in stitutions are affording it's young men of today, and through the teach ings of the Knights of Columbus these men are developed into better citizens. Grand Knight Shannahan in prefacing his remarks dwelt upon the necessity of Catholic parents sending their children to parochial schools where the fundamental prin- ciples of Catholicity and the aims of the Knights of Columbus are first

KEEP THE BOY BUSY.
Seattle P.-I.)

NSeatJie F.-l)
 As fast as athletic sports. public nlaygrounds and the outdor life have been popularized. they still are far from keeping the spirited youth busy The boy of today, and Indeed, the girl, many of them evidence a vast amount of energy not properly directed. The and of general juvenile delinquency in- dicate this condition. Also the recent celebration of Halloween was not at all reassurlng to those who desire the best interests of the boy.
 In the circumstances the tough" boy is generally not so much to blame as the parents who fail to properly direct him Carrying a heavy load of steam without direction. the boy Is capable of making himself a nuisance to his community and kill-joy to his family besides interfering with his own future success In life by the acQuisi- ton of habits that will be liabilities instead of assets.
 If there is one duty dear to parents it should be that of keeping the boy busy The simple turning of the boy into the street Is shirking the parental obligation and a harvest of trouble often follows in after years.
 The boy is worthy of the special thought and care of parents at the impressionable and formative period of life. Street life invites "hoodlum- sm." The boy should be kept busy out of school hours with some inno- cent pastime or occupation that will improve his mind and body and At him to take his place in world In which sound minds In sound bodies are the attributes of success
