CITY PUBLICITY BOARD.

Succession Offered by Philadelphia
 Committee Good For Smaller Towns.
 The permanent committee on com prehensive plans of Philadelphia in report recently Issued advocates the appointment of Il municipal publicity commiss.uu that shaA handle all mat ters connected with throwing the Quaker City into the national spot light.
 In speaking of educating the cih- aens to rroper appreciation of their city the rr2ort charges that most clti' zens know little regarding Philadel- phla and that little attention usually !s given toward instruct1ng them. In this respect the committee recon mends that the following educational methods he applied. and the sugges- lions are good for ether municlpaH- ties. large or small:
 Institute course Of free lectures in city planning and municipal develop ment These should be given In series and be historical ln nature, showing primitive planning and present day methods. Establish & lecture bureau for the citizens in STdsr that various officials may he made easily avalla- bIe to address public meetings, thus giving first hand authoritative infor- nation. as well as unbiased reports of the projects in hand and contemplated

 The report declares chat the purpose of the committee and its advice to all citizens Is to aid in making Philadel- phia more healthy. convenient pros porous and beautiful.~ It is necessary. too. to prepare a program of progress, not alone for the present, but for twenty-five years ahead.

WASHINGTON WILL
 HAVE MODEL HOMES
Demonstrates Relationship Between
 Good Housing and eOodb'IsaIth.

Plans have just been completed for Nhe erection of series Of model homes in the city of Washington for the pur- pose of demonstrating to the nation the relationship between good housing ana good health. These are to be known as the Ellen WllsOni homes and are not an experiment, but dntended as a demonstration to the entire United States.
 The intimate connection between bad housing and bad health and good housing and good health Is clearly rec ognized in Washington, where the alley dwellings have long been a matter of concern both to the health authorities and to public spirited citizens who wish the Capital City to be an example to the nation. The alleys have been paved, sewers and water mains have been laid in them, they are lighted and cleaned as are the streets. Yet they keep their old lead over the streets when 1t comes to totaling the figures for dis ease and death.
 In this WaShingtOn's experience has been like that of Liverpool and other European cities which tried unsuCccss. fully to make badly sitUared dwellings wholesome by cleaning Nnd fumlgating. After thirty-thrce years of unavailable effort to improve that which was fun damentaly bad, Liverpool finally de- cidCd the only hope lay in wipiug out its mSanitary areas. It demolished the old houses by the acre and In place of them built new houses. Where dwell ings have been crowded so close to- gether that there was scarcely passage room for stout man to squeeze his way to one of the old rear houses, It built new dwellings opening upon wide spaces which provided light and air. Immediately sickness and death de creased. aid with them vice and crime. What had seemed a hopeless struggle for more than a %eneration was won.
 Other cities in Europe have done the same and with the same results, but what makes IiverpOors figures of un- usual value k th;,t the new houses are occupied hy the same people who oc- ruDiel the old ones.
 Congress has enacted a law which goes into CIort on July l, 1918, accord ing to whi h all the alley dwellings in tue District of Columbia must cease to be used for dwelling purposes. Mean. while. in order that there may be ac commOdation for those who will b" forced to seek new homes in street houses. there has been organized n limited dividend company which Is to build horses that will be not only Sani. tary; that will provide not only ahund ance of light and air, but houses attractive architecturally, homelike in their arrangements and containing bathrooms and provisions for hot wa. ter fin place of the old outdoor closets and hydrantS.
 Such houses as these cannot. of course. yield the return upon the in. vcStmpnt that the old houses did. In fa { congress in It's act Incorporating the Ellen Wilson Homes. limited its dividends to , per cent net
