Stephens pointed out that the act of
Congress does not state broadly that
all alley dwellings must be abandoned,
but defines in exact terms the kind OF
alleys that fall within the ban of

The first of these provisions is that
dwellings must be abandoned in al

throughout their entire length. This
means, Mr.. Stephens believes, that all
inhabited alleys thirty feet or more
in width are exempt from the law.
Melvin c. Hazen. surveyor of the
District, estimated roughly today
that nearly rs per cent Of thesailey
dwellers are in alleys that are thirty
feet or more in width.
On the basis of this estimate. there
would be only about 5000 tnha bitants s

CONSUMPTION OF MILK
IN j. S. INCREASING

AS a nation we are becoming
greater consumers of milk every day.
In the last decade, as determined
from figures supplier ly health OH
GERS of $50 cities having total popu-
lation OF 100000. the daily per cap
tia consumption has increased from
six-tenths of pint for every man.
woman and child TO seyen-tenths of
pint This is an increase of nearly II.
per cent
These figures are thought 10 give
good indication of the trend OF milk
consumption among all the people OF
the country. There are, however
variations in different sections that
may be attributed TO various factors,
including climate and the kind of
population. The per capita consump-
ton is shown to be lowest in the
Southeastern States, where the clim-
ate makes the preservation of milk
moro of a problem than in the North,
and where there is large proportion
OF negroes who are small users of
milk.
The per capita consumption of milk
in cities varies a great deal. The
large cities have a higher rate of con-
sumption per capita than the smaller
ones, with the exception of those hav-
ing less than 5000. The people in
these villages and small towns are
the biggest users of milk in the coun-
try.

partment. The foreign material was
finely ground before feeding so as TO
kill the germs of the weed seeds.
The owner of the farm had preyi-
ously sold his wheat ''in the dirt" at
his local elevator and had received
nothing for the foreign material in the
grain. Moreover. he had been COM
