V POVERTY AND TUBERCULOSIS
‘ tAocording to a report mdde by the
1 Eddie Health Service, “tho grout fac-
v'tor underlying the entire tuberculosis
‘ problem is seemingly that. of economic
j‘condlt‘lons." In other'nords, the chief
.~ cause of consumption is povcrty.
_L The Health Service found, in Cincin-
,','nat.i-nnd Pittsburgh, three limos as
much tuberculosis in the tenement
'strict, as in the better residence sec-
tions." Bad housing conditions made
most of the dificrcnco;_but it was the
poverty of the victims' families that
mude‘thcm live in those houses. The
fivegage‘monthly income of 197 fami-
lies in which cases were, found in‘Cin-
*cinnati was‘15’l. .
The importance of educational wot-l:

TIME TO STOP THOSE RIOTSI
Just how long is the capitol going to

tho plckeiingu surfrnglsts and the nut-
urally indignant mobs that are daily
rioting over the objectionablebanners

White House. And yet, the public is
\vt-ary of their rioting, too.
The wholcbualncss is not only dis-
graccful and annoying. It'is danger-
ous. These wrangling crowds form on
excellcnt semen for attempts at as.
sussintttlon. As the New York World
points out, "No fort, nosltlp, no fuc-
tory for war material so demands
guarding us the homo of the presi-
dcnt." And still the local police au-
thorltics fail to clean up the sittin-
lion. Still the sull'rngists go on their
crazy way, insulting the nation, in-
juring the cause they profess to be
serving. and giving a distinctly ugly
imprcssion of condition‘s to the rest 01'
the world.
Isn‘t it. about time for order to be
rcstorcd at the gains of the White

Judge Lovett, speaking for the tim-

chases for our government and for Al-

Allies, says that not only mustt our
manufacturers sell to us and to the
Allies at the some prior, but that our
purchasas made from the Allies must
also be at the same price which’lheir
governments pay. This is just. Tho
corollary of‘it also should prevail, It
. is purposed that. private purchasers in
the United States Shall receive the
same 'advsntagcous prices from Ameri-
can producers that the allied govérn-
merits get. Accordingly, private pur-

Editor Evening Scntinol:
I would like to add by comment on
the. city‘s-administrative efficiency, to
that of W. W., which appeared in your
paper Monday.
I would call attention to the. condl
tion‘2 of Hamilton avenue. a street in
the confer of‘thc city and the most
direct and nearest route to the rail»
It seams to me that somebodyphould,
our citizens are aware of the fact that:
we are not able. to care for the con-
stant increase or our population.
Every day, scam or people are turn-
ed hopslcasly' away from our real
estate offices in their scarchttor houses

place of residence by many people
whoawccuputiobsrtsko‘them daily out
of town. ' m '
Strangers to our city are comiugin
daily in quest for rants. We have al;
most nothing to offer them. .And is
nothing to be done ln-iho mutter. Don't
we care? ,
And If we do carc,whnt will!“ do to
prove it. Most of us want to ace a big
city right here. ‘We arc well located
for it. we are equipped for it, we talk
it.—4bttt anything'more.
In order to meat prescut and urgent
demands, we should have at'oncc, tlrat.
a number of large "flats" built. Aiming
those coming to us are many-who are
accustomed to’tho “flat" life. They
like it and expect to find such con-
venicnces in a city of our size. Few,
indeedr arc the number of our build
ings of this sort, and these ain'nys have
a waiting list.
Who will invest their money right
here at home. under their, owu'cyes.
it can be figured an excellent invest-
ment, it surely will be. a public bcnc'
faction.
In the second place we need the peo‘
plc, the people want detached homes
where they may rear under most fav-
orable conditions their families. Five
and sixrto-cight family houses are all
rented, and-the demand yet incessant
nothing to offer. What is to be done
about it. , «g
A suggestion. Let local people build
their own homes. Many who have
lived in VNorwalk for ,years. and will
1ch here for years to come should
awake, and build.

someone else to provide shame for
them that ’it has hardly occurred/to-
home oftheir ‘own. Why not go in for
the luxury of a home as well as any
other-lesser luxury. ‘
There are doubtless individual ac-
counts in ‘our local banks 'suifl’cient to
build all the homes necessary to meet
present pressing demands,uand relieve
therpressure that is’ upon us; It is the
duty of level-y man ,who is able to do
so, to‘provide himself and his family
