have been reported of four, five and
even six girls sharing a small room
the new regulations forbid the
use of any room for sleeping pur-
poses which does not have at least
so square feet of floor space per
person.
Sanitary Problem Serious.
The bathroom problem, a serious
one in many of the large old houses,
has been partly solved in the new
regula ations Separate toilet and
bath facilities must be provided for
each 10 occupants. And at least
twice a week individual bath and
face towels "of adequate size" must
be provided for each roomer.
Other features of the new code
all designed to make life in ROOM
ing house more comfortable and
more healthful-are:
/. Lighting-"No room shall be
used for purposes of habitation that
is not provided with one or more
windows opening to the outside air
and equivalent in glass area to at
least 1917 per cent of the floor area
of such room. Such habitable rooms
shall be provided with artificial
lighting reasonably uniformly dis
tributed so as to provide an illumi-
nation of an intensity of 6-foot
candles for general habitation, and
1O-foot candles for reading and
other similar tasks. measured at a
distance of 80 to SO inches above

Heating and Ventilation.
g Heating-"No room shall be
used for purposes of habitation that
is not maintained at temperature
of at least 10 degrees F. between the
hours of a m. and 10 pm. whenever
occupied"
3. Ventilation-"No room shall be

abolish improvised bedrooms set up
in dark and poorly ventilated attics
and cellars and to assure roomer
adequate heat, light and sanitary
facilities Cleanliness in the ham
ding of food is the theme of the
new regulations as they apply to
boarding houses.
Alone, the rooming house business
has become big business in Wash
ington. mushrooming here as in all
other defense areas. Even so there
is an acute need for more-at least
more accommodations for the steady
influx of Government workers.
$1,000, 900 a Month Business.
It is estimated conServatively
there are between 5000 and 10000
rooming houses here now with a
total income of more than $1,000
900 a month. These figures do not
include the private homes which
have opened their doors in a spirit
of patriotism to war worker or
two. In a legal sense, these are not
rooming houses. A real rooming
house, according to the definition
in the new housing code. is ANY
building or part thereof, other than
hotel or private club. containing
sleeping accommodations occupied
for a consideration by four or more
persons who are not members of
the immediate family of the owner
or lessee - ."
Up to now there has been no
widespread or concerted effort to
check on conditions in the ROOM
ing houses. chiefly because Of the
lack of inspectors to do the job.
About all the sanitary Office could
do with its small staff of two full
time inspectors and II working part
time was to follow up complaints.
No time was left for a periodic
visit to those places against which
no complaints had been filed. More
over. there were not so many room
ing houses and relatively few COM
plants until the national defense
program brought thousands of new
Government workers to Washing
ton. Now, however, the sanitary
inspection Office is swamped. Com
plants jumped 80 per cent in the
last year.
Improvement Expected.
Five more full-time inspectors, to
be added to the rooming house staff
by July /, will not enable an imme-
didate checkup of all complaints
and of all rooming houses, but Dis
trict officials feel confident that
with the tighter regulations which
give the Health Department con-
troll over both boarding and room
ing houses. there will be marked
improvement in a long-neglected
situation.
Lack of adequate toilet facilities,
too infrequent changes of bed linen
and careless maid service constitute
the bulk of the complaints received
at the Health Department from
rooming house occupants. From
the proprietors also have come COM
plants of a different character

ants which they have been unable
to evict.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-It is prob

is about over, because that means
they won't have to look at Ted

Although he not batting even
close to his .406 of 1941, his .357

of all other batters that he could
probably hit with a tennis racket

For instance, during the week just

Truett CRip) Ewell, who aided

Pirates scored IL runs after two
outs in the sixth inning and went
on to an LIS triumph.
Baby Pollet, although with the
Cards only little over year,
pitches like a veteran. He didn't
win his sixth game this season un-
til early September, but that vic
tory was all-important because it
placed the Cardinals within two
games of Brooklyn just before the
