Proud of Chapters Work
These are few of the lines in which
we are interested and undertakings which
we are backing heartily. We are also quite
naturally proud of the Philadelphia chap
ters work in various public health hos
ptals where there were wounded soldiers.
Our committees have carried flowers and
danties to the men each week for nearly
two years, and their reports have in gen
cral been favorable in regard to the treat
mcnt of the patients in those hospitals.
YES. we are proud of this record, but at
the present time the question which is para
mount in our minds is that of the proper
cemetery for the final resting place of those
of our dead whose bodies are brought back
to this country. In such a work as the pro
curing Of a part of Valley Forge for such a
cemetery, we have a definite and practical
goal to work for which should inspire net
only the War Mothers but every patriotic
and right feeling American citizen

WE COME to port an unknown craft,

The highest and the best of us

For lands beyond our ken.
Our highest point, the best of us,

WOULD POSTPONE
ALLEY HOMES BAN
Ball Asks Senate to Give Two
Years More to Civic
Problem.

Alley life in Washington is not to
be disturbed for at least two years
under the terms of a resolution in
troduced in the Senate yesterday by
Senator L. Heisler Ball. of Della
ware. chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
1t will require long study to de-
termine what to do with this popu-
latiOn. shown by a 1920 survey TO
be nearly 10000. in the opinion of
the District Commiss ioners, who
wrote to Senator Ball urging that
more time be given for an investi-
CATION and the framing of proper
Legislation.
Alta hearing on vice before the
District Committee last Thursday
Chief Justice Walter l. Mccoy, Of
the District Supreme Court, declared
people within two blocks of the
Capitol were housed like pigs. and
the alley problem as a factor in the
vice situation should be solved with
torch.
In 1914 a health law was passed
providing for adjustment. of alley
dwellings. but its enforcement was
postponed until one year after peace
is proclaimed by the President. In
pursuance to the request of the
District Commissioners, Senator Ball
yesterday introduced a resolution
postponing action for two years
after the establishment of peace
with Germany. The District Com
missiOners are said to be in con-
sultation with civic leaders and au-
thOrities on social problems in the
preparation of a permanet program
for wiping out alley life in the
National Capital
