Half the Homes in Z. S. Beloz0
Standard for Health, Comfort

This is the second Of a series of six
articles on housing conditions IN TINS
country: This material IS puohsned oy
permission Of Fortune Magazine.
TN Tuesdays installment it was
i seen that America is not one
glittering picture of plumbing ads,
but that less than one-half the
homes in America measure up to
thes minimum standard Of health
and decency. Such statement re-
quires definition, and proof.
The first is simple: A minimum
standard of health and decency is
one below which no American
family should be expected to fall.
1t therefore will include neither
a telephone nor central lighting

quashi-necessities of modern life)
nor central heat nor even a bath
tub.
But it will include healthful
surroundings for the building;
ample and pure running water in
side the house; a modern sanitary
water-closet for exclusive use of the
family and located in the house;
enough rooms and large enough
rooms to give the family necessary
privacy; sunlight and ventilation
and dry walls; adequate garbage
removal; adequate fire protection; a
location within reach of work; a
cost not to exceed 20 per cent of
family income.
Il
TINE man who believes these are
l. excessive requirements for pro-
lection of health and decency Of
an American family undertakes a
heavy burden of proof.
Most honest men will accept them
and wonder how on earth such

able proportion of American homes

America is one of the deepest pref
udices of the American mind.
We read Dickens description of
the London slumS of his day with
a complacent eye. Certainly it is
nothing to us that Bill Skies, hid
ing after the murder of Nancy, saw
from his broken window crazy
wooden galleries common to the
backs of half a dozen houses, with
holes from which to look upon the
slime beneath; windows broken and
patched, with poles thrust out on
which to dry the linen that is never
there; rooms so small. so filthy, so
confined, that the air would seem
too tainted even for the dirt and
squalor which they shelter; dirt be-
smeared walls and decaying founda-
tons; every repulsive- lineament of
poverty, every loathsome indica-
ton of filth

Dickens writing. The whole thing

1t is changed-but not in Amer
lea. In the years since the war,
England, Germany, and other coun-
tries in the north of Europe, and
even Italy and France, have taken
definite public steps to eradicate the

threatened a matron and finally
dared Sheriff J. r. McFadden to
slap her down. as he said he
would do

She advised me she had had in

that she hoped to have baby by
him." DR.. Bowers testified. when
! asked her if she thought adultery
morally wrong she told me she
thought not if love really existed be-
tween the people"
Mrs. Judd at first refused to
leave the courtroom at adjournment
and then, coming upon DR.. Bowers
in the corridor, lunged her Shout
ders into him and almost knocked
him from his feet

Il dare you to slap me-" she told
Sheriff McFadden, when he told

TINE stadium where the old Olym-

L was laid out in this manner be-
cause Of the contour of the
gound, for there were no artificial seats.
It Is estimated that the hillside to the
north and embankments built on the
three other sides furnished room for
$4,000 spectators.
The stadium was 234 yards In length
by IS in breadth. The length of the
running course was 210 yards and it
was marked at each end by limestone
thresholds. The floor Of the stadium
was of sand and provision was made
for drainage.
Running parallel with the stadium
and between it and the river Alpheus
was the hippodrome In which the
chariot and horse races were held. This

The Olympian games were held every

Olympiads as basis for computing

The season Of the games was that Of
the first full moon after the Summer
solstice, and while at first they lasted
only one day. after the seventy-seventh
Olympiad the time was extended to
five days. During the greater part Of
their history the games ran from the
eleventh to the fifteenth Of the month.
A sacred truce was proclaimed among
all tribes taking part in the games.
This began several days before the fes-
