Model Homes Planned for Washington to Demon

Washington, April 22.-Plans have just been completed for the erection of a series of model homes in tnc city of Washington for the purpose of demonstrating to the nation the re- lationship between good housing and good health. These are to be known as the Ellen Wilson homes. and are not in the nature of an experiment, but are intended as demonstration to the entire United States.
 The intimate connection between bad housing and bad health and good housing and good health is clearly alley dwellings have long been a mat ter of concern both to the health au- thorities and to public spirited citi- zens 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 it comes to totaling the figures for disease and death.
 LiIn Whis, Wash3ns,ton's experience has been like that of Liverpool and other European cities which tried un- successfully to make badly situated dwellings wholesome by cleaning and fumigating. After thirty-three years of unavailing effort to improve that which was fundamentally bad, Liver pool finally decided that the only hope lay in wiping out it's insanitary areas. It demolished the old houses by the acre and in place of them built new houses. Where dwellings have been crowded so close together that there was scarcely passage room for
