not yet decided whether he would per-
nit Bernard Shaw to land at this ISL
and. No, he had never forgotten that
when the Shavian one was critic
he had written OF an early Barrie play,
This is worse than Shakespeare.
And this had fankled the sensitive
young Scot, by his own admission.
Barrie has now another name for
himself McConhachie was terribly
overworked within a fortnight; SO
now he dubs himself "the .inoffensive
one" Or rather l. should say that
Typee so dubbed him. 1t is SO diff
cult, this difYerentiating between
! Barrie and his other selves!
Once again Barrie spoke for youth
and appealed TO the critics to encour-
age young dramatists. He sees much
to encourage him in the new field Of
writer's, though he admits present-day
conditions of the stage are "abomin-
able" "The young writer's" he said,
know as much about nothing as We
know ab~at everything" And then he
said he Thought the best play written

HOUSING CONDITIONS BY
MRS. FOSTER
New District Nurse Speaks ON Health
and Housing Relating
10 SkOMhcgan

y recent survey has established The
fact that infant death rate is i'll
direct proportion to the salaries earn
ed by fathers. Where the father S
salary is $3.50 or less a year the pro
portion of infants deaths is 162 n
compared with 62 when the father is
earning $3.50 or more.
To some extent this mortality is
due TO the inability of poorer parents
10 provide proper food and clothing
for their offspring; but to great cX-
tent is is also due to the unfortunate
housing conditions under which these
people live. Owing TO insufficient
salary to meet the cost of living
families are crowded into small and
unsantary quarters where their pow
erty adds to the general run down
condition Of the neighborhood. 1t is
fruc there is the Health department

there is no place else to go it is hard

officer can turn family out of Il
home no matter how nsanitary con-
ditions may be.
A great deal more deyolvcs upon
the landlord than upon the health
officer Landlords. however, appar-
ently take no responsibility for the
unhealthy conditions under which
their tenants live They complain
that tenants with children destroy
their property or are behind in their
Tent This may be an excuse hut ii is
not reason for ignoring the housing
conditions provided by a mans own
property. If "A landlord does not
owe his tenants or himself anything
in the matter of decent housing con
d;tions he certainly owes something
to the community in which he holds

Housing conditions in Skowhegan
are not as good as the outside of the

this we deceive ourselves for ii is not
true. How many towns OF the same
Size have As many houses with pumps
and no sewer connections? How
many country towns have such large
families housed under such crowded
conditions? Can any community
hope to have 100 per cent men and

II is the duty of every man and
