Money Factory Working Overtime.

Philadelphia. Jan. 3o.--Uncle Sans
largest money factory, the Philadel-
ph!a mint. is working these days as It
never worked before in the history OF
the country. This is in the natural
order Of things because the war has
created unprecedented demand for coin
of all denominations. No gold is being
minted at present, but halves, quar-
tiers dimes niCkels and pennies are be-
ing turned OUT by the million. A double
force OF workmen keep the mint goin%
sixteen hours a day and more men are
employed now than ever before.
In peaceful times much coming was
done here for foreign governments,
principally South America, but since
the United States entered the war the
special work has been stopped. The
last job of this sort was for Cuba, the
entire cottage Of the island having
been made here.

HOMES FOR SHIP EMPLOYEES.
Community Houses Erected Near
Building Yards at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3Q.-Virtually
every state in the union and many dis
tant parts OF the world are represented
amonu the thousands of sh!pworkers
and their families who are Fastening to
this city to settle in the new Communi-
T. established in the Fortieth ward for
employees of a large shipbuild!ng cor
poration which has established a plant
at Hog Island. The influx, which be-
gan with the establishment of the
plant a short time ago, will add, &C
cording to legal officials, from 10000 to
so 900 persons to Philadelphia's popu-
lation.
Before the establishment OF the Hog
Island plant, thousands Of workmen
attra cted to the Delaware river ship
building yards utilized all the housing
facilities in the district. This made it
necessary for the city TO cooperate
with the government in planning for
the reception of the new army which
Philadelphia is called upon TO accom-
modate.
More than 10000 workers will be
required TO erect the houses in the
community which Will in the future be

at the instance Of the city, that from
J, 900 to 800 dwellings will be neccs-

including wages.
Another fortune Will be required for
the construction of sewers, water ia

mcnts in this new section. Streets Will

DEFENDS CAMP CODY.
Conditions at Demine Better Than Az
erace Health Amonq Civilians.

Mai. Gen. A. P. Blocksom, com
manding the thirty fourth division, has
denounced the accusations circulated III
regard to conditions here. The enemy
spy propaganda" he said, lis certainly
aided by those who spread wild rumors
about sickness and death at camps and
environments. Such unfounded rumors
nture the morale and efficiency OF
the army"
Further he says: NO civil commun-
tty in the world can boast mortality
rate so low, or a sick rate so low, in
men Of the same age period. as that OF
an army encampment in America to-
day,
IN six months at Camp Cody there
have occurred elshty-three deaths,
none of them from preventable disease.
The early period training, which to-
tally changed methods Of living, has
passed, as have the most severe eli
matte conditions. The death rate for
the six months has been 6.3 to 1000
men for period of a year. With the
severe test of early training and eli
mate past the death rate for the entire
year, it is estimated will be IS to the
thousand.
The death rate in a civil community
Of the same size as that Of the thirty
fourth division, with persons Of the
same age period, as estimated by in
surance associations, is S.424 to 1000.
The sick rate is correspondence
low the records show. Meningitis, ty-
phoid, scarlet fever. smallpox and diph-
liberia are virtually unknown. Menin-
gifts. hitherto the scourge Of armies
IN camp, has caused only two deaths in
the division. Not a single case OF ty-
phoid has developed.
According to Maj. B. e. II. Marvey.
medical statistician, sickness would
| have been decreased by IS per cent had
all men accepted for service been
physically fit. A large part of the sick
| list Is made up of men who never
should have been enlisted. These are
| rapidly being discharged.
"Out of 500 cases Of venereal dis
| ease on record, all but 10 Of them were
contracted before enlistment in the
army. The figures speak for the moral
| welfare of the troops.
| Pneumonia has been responsible for
| the greater part Of the deaths in the
division, but again the figures compare
more than favorably with civilian
statistics. Only 10 per cent Of true
pneumonia cases have died This Is bal
