SOLUTION OF TIE HOUSING PROBLEM IS WITHIN POWER
 OF PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN

! houses in Prescott would pay the cost of advertising in every paper of con siderable size between Fl Paso and Los Angeles, according to F. w. Worcester, business manager of the ! Journal-Miner" who spoke before the luncheon club yesterday. Mir. ! Worcester brought the club the re- suits of ripe experience in a score of western cities of the size of Prescott, iand stated positively that of all he had lvisited and lived in, none impressed him as did Prescott as q place of op- tportunity.
 A plea for concerted action on some iconcrete project instead of SO much discussion in general terms was made by the speaker. Congestion of hous- ing facilities is the chief drawback of the city at this time. Prescott's best advertising is given it by the visitors who come here and live in close quarters but go away praising the cli- mate and the scenery. The superiority of the mile high city over the torrid section around Phoenix, the speaker declared, is so marked that many are now refraining from trips to the coast to come here.
 With this start, it IS time to do something for yourselves" Worcester asserted. He declared that half dog en small but up to date apartment houses would bring in the nucleus of new population that would be a profitable addition to the city be- ginning at once. Let not the extra cost of building stand in the way, he said, for if it costs more to build. rents can be made high enough to cover and they would be gladly paid.
 The second necessity is a 25O-room hotel. Financing ought to be easy if properly attempted In spite of poor money markets. there are private fortunes waiting for investments in such enterprises. A hotel surround ing court and bathing pool was ad- .vocated
 "Get together courageously." he said. He told a story of minister who said if he could with one flaming sermon bring all his hearers into the fold, would be content, but instead, must preach with his whole soul week after week and year on end and pass on with the larger part of his flock still outside the fold. He urged that the city's best people have the spirit of the minister and that they con- tinue hammering upon their proposi- tions with the faith and hope of the pastor
 Public Health Survey

 q must correct the introduction. Mir. Cuyellier said on addressing the luncheon club. "I am not doctor"
 Neither am l." returned the chair man, although I have followed the medical profession for a number of years"
 The chief of the public health sur- Sey in Prescott, spoke of the cheaper health, the associations he represented hoped to put in here and in other Arizona towns. It is less eX- Densive to find disease and prevent ts spread that to maintain hospitals for its victims. It is just prevention IS the public health survey hopes 10 Before laying out pro- gram, however, it is necessary to find l basis for work, and that IS why nurses have been going from house to louSe and inquiriRg about sickness md sanitary conditions. The public rec clinic in the basement of the Bank of Arizona building is merely a heck-up on the house to house can as, wherein the board of health and Anti- Tuberculosis association hope to omplete their findings preparatory to commenting measures for safe uarding the public health.
 As an example of support, he cited lila county where private funds were aised to support the work. In Doug IS. where it had been boasted there 'as not case of consumption, the urses found over 100 cases, in many lses of which children were kept in lose and active association with the ok persons.
 "We want to wake the people up to- ie need of public health service" he id
