SLUM DISPLACEMENT
(By DR.. HI. H. Scott)


Stoke-Bishop, England, July %,
1895. Dear Democrat Readers, Nc
Connelsville, Ohio:-I hate terribly
to use the word ''slum.'' 1t is no
fault of mine, and, if I could, /
thing itself too.
My first revelation of the slum
here was in Yarmouth. Yarmouth
means mouth of the Yare. 1t is To-
Gated on the sea, at the most east
ern point of ell England, 80 miles
northeast of London. Here the
world famous Yarmouth "bloaters"
are caught, and many Of them eat
en- / can recommend them, but
that is not what / am telling you
about
Yarmouth once was the only dry
land for miles. All around it came
the tide, making the great marshes.
and rendering it an island practical
ly. House building had to be con-
fined to feasible limits. The city
therefore was built very compactly.
The result was that for mile and
half the streets run through the
congested area, so congested that
they could not afford even cross
streets. The ''rows,' so-called, do
not refer to the mile and half
strips of houses. The crows" are
the 141 narrow alley ways that
cross the streets. These al alleys
are from % inches to eight feet
wide. Some are SO narrow you can
scarcely pass. Imagine a net work
like this. The houses so close that
when they sag they almost meet at
the top of the alley, being three and
four stories high. They are propped
up to some extent, to escape general
disaster.
Here is mile and half of solid
masonry E'putty" the Yarmouth
chauffeur said, perforated by these
narrow exits. Kitty Witches row
is 2S inches wide. In and out flows
this stream of humanity as bees
penetrate in and out of hive.
There can be no spear of grass,
flower, garden, lawn or tree. The
game of hide and seek is possible
for the children, of whom there
were very many, and / must say

/ they looked, young and old. quite
healthy and happy. ! walked
through these little alleys, and
could see that other cross alleys
were inside the mass of stone, and
court rooms for play and washing
clothes. They have been demoisn-
ing, in another part of Yarmouth,
these close built structures. Stair
ways and fire places reveal what an
cient and jerry-built houses they
were. You must go soon if ever
you are to see it. They are cutting
streets right through this chaotic
mass. The government is set to
clear it up. The 'bloaters" will
some day be caught by people who
are living in more hospitable quar-

Pettycoat Lane, London, is part
of the Jewish Ghetta. Here / came
on a Sunday afternoon to see thou
sands of Jews conducting what has
been called "Thieves and Thugs
Fair" Rachel and Rebecca, Levi
! and Samuel, all day long, sell every
kind of article or produce known to
mankind, in the open street where
they have erected temporary stalls
or booths. The guide tells us that
often families live in a single room,
many under ground, that rats are
numerous; people often sleep on the
street or on the floor.
I cannot tell you now of China
Town or the many pubs as
saloons are called, which we visited
that. weird and spooky night. Some

England is working on the diff
cult problem of .9slum clearance in
a most human and ChristIke way.
To tell you how thousands of Chris
tian people, William Booth, and 9TH

people, and the situation. would

ter conditions. King George. Queen
Mary, and the Prince of Wales
make frequent visits here, and these
visits are connected sooner or later
with slum displacement; $4,000
homes have been provided for 240,-
600 people, and slowly these fam
lilies are emigrating to more whole
some conditions in suburbs and lit
tie villages. They encourage flower
cultivation, and children often COM
pete in gardening and flower rails
ing. 1t was announced an expert
gardener would visit them. No one
knew that Her Majesty would ap-
pear. Some had prepared ramblers,
and gladioli, and other flowers in
their plots, and were overjoyed
when the queen visited them
Slowly London is yielding to civic
betterment, and kindly treatment:
houses are torn away, and the peo-
pie assisted to form new environ
ment. The poverty and squalor OF
other days will, We hope, finally
give place to health, happiness and
usefulness.

keeping his law, that God would
honor them" Water is Gods drink
for mankind: even the man that
drinks intoxicants must have wa

up. Then also a simple diet (pulse)
is means to health.
V. 13. "Then let our counten-
ances be looked upon before thee,
the countenance of the children that
eat of the portion of the kings
meat; and as thou seest, deal with
thy servants. . Here was a great
/ demonstration of faith without
which no man can please God.
Health and often character are man
ifest in the face. Cosmetics are NOT
needed, but integrity of soul and
sincerity of purpose are essential to
fair face.

them in this matter, and proved
them ten days and at the end of ten
days their countenances appeared
fairer and fatter in flesh that all the
children which did eat portion of

program is results. The test of ma
tional prohibition and repeal is in
results; let there be an honest tab
ulation of results of these two pro-
grams and abide by the conclusions
this is the way of reason.

away the portion of their meat, and
the wine which they should drink;
and gave trem pulse. And as for
these four children, God gave them
knowledge and skill in all learning
and wisdom; and Daniel had under

The mind works best in healthful
body free from intoxicants; besides
divine favor is extended to those
who are in accord with Gods laws:
there flows into the mind and soul
of an honest, loyal, faithful child Of
God suggestions, impressions and
desires that may we'll be attributed
to God.
V. IS, 10. "Now at the end of
the days that the king had said he
should bring them in, then the
prince Of the eunuchs brought them
in before NebuchadneZZar. And the
king communed with them, and
among them all there was found
none like Daniel, Hananiah, Michael
and Azariah; therefore stood they
before the king" Their training
covered three years so there could
be no mistake in the results; the
king had to acknowledge Gods pro-

Temperance and Healthy Daniel
1920, for Sunday, Aug. Il:
What are the motives for abb
stinence from alcoholic drinks?
How account for Daniels strong
convictions?
When ought one maintain his
stand as a minority?
What are the evidences that God
helps the one who does right?
What is the only true safeguard
against a life of sin?
How fortify ones self against
temptation?
Glorious says: "What youth must
learn today is that one can have a
good time without indulging in sim
full pleasures. The sowing of wild
oats may bring about a certain sat
isfaction physically and even a cer-
tain sophistication mentally, but it
may prove very costly spiritually"

By Times Special
SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 49,
The fifth race of the program at
the Saratoga track shaped up as
a strictly two-horse duel when
only two 3-year-olds answered the
call to tie post yesterday.
Owners of Kate and Bit of Sor-
row rushed their hands pleasurably
as they reflected, logically, that
their horse must finish at least in
second money.
The barrier was up and the race
was off. Kate stretched her long
legs and Sprinted feverishly into
the turn for the mile dash. Jockey
Merritt kept her we'll up to speed
