POVERTY BLAMED
ON BAD HOUSING
Miss Helen L. Parrish Tells Con-
ditions Found by Commits
sion's Inspectors
HELPED 5000 IN YEAR

Bad housing conditions and poverty
frequently 60 hand in hand, according
TO Miss Helen l.. Parrish, director Of
the Philadelphia Housing Association.
Miss Parrish. in an interview. told
Of families whose abject poverty and
miserable condition. investigated by the
Society for Organizing Charity, were
found to be traceable, in large part, to
housing conditions, which undermined
the health of the breadwinner.
Miss Parrish discussed the housing
situation in Philadelphia in connection
with the joint drive for membership
and funds. which is to be started next
week by the Philadelphia Housing AS
sociation. the Public Education and
Child Labor Association. the Civil
Service Reform Association and the
BuHeau of Municipal Research. These
organizations hope to raise $3.50 900,
to help defray their operating expenses
until January !. 1921.
There are many causes of poverty
even in times when work is plentiful
said Miss Parrish. land bad housing
Is among the most important.
The visitor from the Society of Or
ganized Charity finds the father. in
characteristic household, crippled with
rheumatism and unable to find job,
the baby is feverish and the two older
children behind their grade in school:
The mother works out and is harassed
by her Intellectual struggles to supple
ment an inadequate and fiuctuating in
come by doing an occasional days work
and looking after her family between
times.
1.-THE visitor finds also that the house
roof leaks so badly that one of the two
bedrooms is not habitable the cellar is
half full of stagnant water, on the sur
face Of which floats green scum; the
only water supply, aside from that
which comes through the roof and down
into thre cellar, is a yard hydrant; the
only toilet is a vault in the yard shared
by other families. 1t is far enough
away to be unusable by the cripple or
the baby or by other members of the
family on cold or stormy night. but near
enough to poisoFAthe air IL windows are
left open in sriaimer.
"The society's task of putting that
family on its feet again, of making it
self supporting, of giving the children
fair start in life, is hopeless while
the house remains as it is. So the
Philadelphia Housing Association is
called in to do its share by persuading
or bringing pressure to bear upon the
owner to mend the roof. pump out the
cellar, and install sink and water
closet. Last year the association had
more than 5000 properties under it's
supervision where similar conditions
made its services necessary.
"For years the four organizations
which aHe planning the membership
drive have conducted nonpartisan,
non political fight for better housing
schooling, civil service and government
conditions. The city at large should
put itsHf behind this united civic cam
paign for better Philadelphia. ?"

Medina TIGERS
TEAR 'EM UP
SCORE STANDS 10 TOO
ONLY II MINUTES PLAY
Oh Boy. How the Medina Lads Rip
Into Opposing Team the First
Game of the Season.

The football game between Medina
and Wellington, Friday Of last week,
did not last long-but IL minutes,
with 22 yet to play. At the begin
ming of the second period the Medina
boys made a swift rush and in the
melee two Wellington players had
their noses broken and one suffered
bruises on his forehead and had his
eye slightly injured. There was a
free flow of blood, making things look
really worse than they were.
The Medina boys are weighty
bunch, they have been coached to win,
and naturally when the Wellington
lads got in between them and their
goal something had TO give way.
The Wellington boys, it is said, are
neither heavy enough or skilled in
the game sufficient to meet so classy
a team as the Medina boys promise
to develop.
The Wellington boys had several
subs with them and could have filled
their line and proceeded with the
game had they wished. They pre-
ferred, however, TO IOrIelt Tue game
rather than continue the play. The
score stood 19 to 0, and the Yelling
ton boys forfeited.
The local boys say the Wellington
boys do not know the game sufficient
ly we'll to be able to protect them
selves; that they were in no ways
rough, but that the Wellington players
should perfect themselves further be-
fore going against so heavy team.
The Wellington lad who was the
most severely injured in the game
Saturday was Young Ray. A phone
message to the Wellington school
superintendent Monday elected the
news that the young man was not as
badly hurt as at first thought, and
that he was coming on fine: The
rumor on Medina streets that he had
died from his injuries was without
foundation.
The game scheduled for Wadsworth
Wednesday was postponed to- next
Tuesday.
