Workers Declare $2 13,7 10
Appropriation Gin Greatly
Improve Conditions.
f
To maintain a Division of Housing and
(Sanitation In the Department of Health
find Charities, Councils will be asked to
morrow to appropriate iilJ,710.
The new department was created by
fen act or the Legislature and signed by
Governor Tener July 12, 19IZ. Since the
tneatur became a law Councils havo
fconlinued to Ignore alt requests for the
Necessary appropriations.
Leading -citizens, settlement workers,
physicians and women prominent In civic
Nrork who personally have visited fami
lies who live, eat and sleep in Insanitary
houses, strongly advocated today that
Councils should grant the appropriations
staked.
"Unless some of those Insanitary
douses are improved," said a noted so
ciologist, "only death can end many suf
feringsand death can't come quickly
trnough If those poor persons continue to
Jive In those vaults."
director Marte, of the Department of
Steal til, has prepared his budget for the
jiew work. It was reported today In po
JlUcal circles that certain Councllmen
ware controlled by tenement owners, who
tvoutd bejlable to prosecution If the new
department was created. Reports reached
(Hie Philadelphia Housing Commission
that certain members of Councils were
retained by trust companies which them
elves had In charge Insanitary dwell
ings In the city's slums.
v WHAT THE3 LAW REQUIRES.
With an appropriation granted. It would
fnerga the existing Inadequate divisions
of tenement house Inspection and sanitary
Inspection. It would also result In more
complaints being: made against the own
ara of the insanitary houses, who, of
course, oppose the measure.
Under the reorganization of the Sani
tation and Housing Departments, moro
women nurses will be employed and also
Inspectors speaking foreign languages.
The law requires owners to place a Blnk
with running water in every house and In
every apartment of two or more rooms
In a tenement, if a water main is In the
street.
To connect the house directly with a
ewer.
To repair broken plumbing Immediately.
To kcejn roofs, stairs and fire-escapes In
constant repair.
To protect the cellar against flooding.
To keep halls and outside spaces clean.
To use no part of the building for a
sweatshop, and conduct manufacturing
only under permit from the Board of
Health.
To allow no storing of Inflammable nu.
terlal In the structure.
To provide every room with a suitable
iwlndow opening to outside air.
. To give ample quarters to prevent pro
miscuous herding that breeds vice.
Bernard J. Newman, secretary el the
Philadelphia Housing Commission, who
declares that one baby out of every Ave
born each year in the slums dies before
It la a year old, said;
"Councils will have an opportunity to
morrow to do an act of simple Justice
to the poor, which will help to relieve
them of filthy conditions they are now
forced to put up with. The act passed
by the Legislature should receive the at
tention of Councils.
TENANTS AFRAID TO COSfFLAIN.
' "Councils have so far failed to act, de
. spite the fact that City Solicitor Ryan has
twice advised them that they are legally
bound to comply with the law. Some
tenement owners have boasted they are
close to those who control Coundlmanla
action and that the act would never be
enforced. Rumors have been circulated
that some of the Councllmen are Inter
ested In properties which are in bad re
pair yt are occupied by poor families.
"Certain houses, such as those on North
.Waterloo street, are rented to persons
(without lavatories or other fixtures, and
the city Is powerless to force the owners
to install fixtures. The tenants empty
palls in the back alleyes or down the cel
lar windows of vacant houses nearby.
"The tenants are afraid of eviction If
they report conditions to the Health
Bureau, so the leaks go on for weeks and
months without discovery until the com
mission's Inspectors happen upon them."
Dr. Lincoln C Furjrush, one of the
Board of Governors of the Child Federa
tion, spoke of dark, unventilated rooms,
where kerosene lamps burn all day.
"Cities like Chicago and New York havo
accomplished phenomenal work In their
slums by adopting similar working plans
as outlined in the aot which was passed
'by the Legislature last year," he said.
"Houses In the slums of those cities have
been Improved as a. result of repeated
complaints by the health inspectors,
"With the appropriation It would mean
that there would be 40 nurses, all women,
hero, and women nurses can accomplish
more than men,"

BABYTRAVELS "
21,000 MILES IN HER
18 MONTHS OF LIFE
And Now Little Florence
Wachter Is Starting on An
other Long Trip Across the
Continent.
With a record of having already
travelled 21,000 miles since her birth, 18
months ago. Miss Violet Florence
Wachter, the only child of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Wachter, of UU Landsdowne ave
nue, is about to leave for an extended
tour to the Mexican border and north
along the Paclflo coast.
Little MHs Violet's parents acquired
the travelling habit when Mr. Wachter
acted In a secretarial capacity to the New
York National Baseball Club. It was
while on a tour through the West that
IMjss Violet was born In San Francisco.
Since that memorable day, the little lady
has crossed the Continent twice and has
paid a visit to every State In the Union.
She has the distinction of having been
one of the unfortunate travellers ma
rooned In the trains during the Dayton,
Ohio, floods in March, 1713. There were
other experiences quite as notable as
this, but Miss Violet possesses a reticence
worthy of a more mature sojourner and
hesitates to speak of her many thrilling
experiences.
A great part of her travels was mads
by rail, but many thousands of miles were
covered by automobile. Not all the sec
tions of the country she has visited are
accessible by train service, especially tho
great Southwest. The trip which she Is
about to begin to the Mexican border
and thence north to San Franslco and
Seattle will be made chiefly by automo
bile. Mr. Wachter, the father of the youth

her father on all his business trips.

PENN CO-EDS TOLD
NUMERALS ON HATS
VIOLATE TRADITION
Must First Show Proficiency
in Athletics, Vice Provost
Penniman Says Also De
clared Mannish.
Th Pennsylvania co-eds may b decktd In
strange attire.
From tho latest style or shirtwaist to the
cannonading rosta.
They may near the French heel lower, they
may wear it. msn or nignor.
But the faculty has put the ban on brown
and mannish bats.
So the slrli are In a tumult and ara threat
ening a row,
Though the hats may be forbidden they will
wear them anyhow.
They are chanting now as follows, while tho
air is nusa witn war,
"We could not love our headgear thus loved
wo not freedom more.'
Co-eds at the University of Pennsylvania
are said to be considering the adoption
of a ctVurse in athletics, since only pro
ficiency In some branch of track or field
sport will entitle them to wear hats
with a cIbbs numeral.
The girls arc disturbed considerably be
cause the faculty has forbidden them to
wear small brown hats emblazoned with
the number '17," Indicating the year oT
their graduation.
An old custom at the college forbids
this except under given conditions, and
after nearly every member of the sopho
more class of co-eds had proudly dis
played her new class hat, an order frotai
Vice Provost Penniman put the millinery
under the ban.
According to Miss Slgred Nelson, presi
dent of the co-ed sophomore class, the
girls first adopted the chic little brown
head adornments because there was lack
of adequate wardrobe room In the class
rooms. Large hats therefore were im
possible. "Later," said Miss Nelson today, "we
thought It would be all right if we em
bellished our hats with the class numer
als. We had no Idea this was wrong un
til Dr. Joslah H. Penniman, vice provost,
suggested it was a vlolatluon of collega
traditions. He told us custpm for years
at the unlversltyordalned that no student
should wear numerals on a hat unless the
right to do so had been won by proficiency
in freshman athletics. Of course, we im
mediately took them off."
Another objection made by the faculty
Is said to be that the hats are mannish
and unbecoming. As to the first criti
cism, the girls contend many of the gar
ments worn by the men are womanish.
The second Is a matter of opinion, they
hold, and they do not concede the right
of any man or set of men to dictate
to them in the matter of apparel. ,
"CAP" CAMERON, 47 TODAY,
OVERSLEEPS AND GETS RING
Not the Alarm Clock Variety, How

Robert Donald Cameron, celebrated the
47th anniversary of his natal day by
oversleeping himself this morning.
To let ever; one into the secret, Robert
Donald Cameron, is no other than "Cap"
Cameron, head of the Detective Bureau.
If Scotland had maintained its Integrity
and had whipped the English, Robert
Donald Cameron might have been a Ttlng
today Instead of a mere captain of d
teotlves. He, comes from a line that were
kings and probably would have been
ntU kings if England bad not abolished
the Job.
BUI Brown, a detective of the first class
who does not disguise himself; with red
hair and kindly eyes, yet has them, was
given the task of presenting Captain
Cameron with a diamond ring on be
half of the detectives. He was selected
beeause before the captain received bis
promotion he was Cameron's "side part

Brown ean't talk quite as woll as he
fighjts or as well as he ean six uy a

WANTED-HIGH CLASS
MAN TO SUPERVISE
INDEPENDENCE HALL
Philadelphia Offers Salary
of $800 to One of Varied
-Attainments and Hopes for
Patriotic Offer.
Philadelphia Is vainly endeavoring to
obtain a suitable superintendent for Inde
pendence Hall,
A man of high personality, splendid edu
cation, with a broad knowledge of the his
torical lore surrounding the nation's
Shrine of Liberty, is desired. He should be
experienced In caring for valuable real
estate and personal property. Above all,
he must have administrative and execu
tive ability to supervise the work of the
guards, watchmen, cleaners and other em
ployes, and direct the affairs of the build
ings. For this combination of qualifications
and ability the city offers a salary of $M0
o. year, less than Is paid a policeman and
about one-half the average salary paid
tipstaves in the county and municipal
courts.
A hope that has become almost forlorn
to the Civil Service Commission is that
some wealthy citizen, moved by patriotic
and public-spirited impulses, will come
forward and offer his services for the dig
nity of the position, regardless of the
microscopic salary.
The position has been vacant since the
resignation of Edward A. Crane, a prom
inent architect, who accepted the super
Intendency December 9, 1912, through a
public-spirited desire to serve the city
and county and to effect architectural Im
provements at the hall In the general
effect of restoration to Its actual appear
ance In Colonial days.
Mr. Crane resigned as superintendent
of Independence Hall in May, 191S, when
he was appointed city architect. It being
Impossible for him to retain two oity
position's.
About a month ago the Civil Service
Commission held an examination to All
the highly exacting but low-salaried po
sition. ' Twenty-one applicants attempted
to pass the examination and meet the re
quirements, but oil failed.
The commission has readvertlsed for
an examination on Thursday of this week.
Eighty-three candidates for the position
have already filed their names with the
Civil Bervlce Commissioners ss applicants
for the Place, and will appear for the
examinations.
The Civil Service Commissioners con
tinue .hoping that among the number will
be a. qualified man with a disregard of the
Impecunious salary.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. ll.-"The boy
who sticks to tho hog game is headed
down Prosperity avenua faster than the
speed limit In Frog De," according to
Jewell Mays, of the Missouri State Board
of Agriculture, who holds tho distinction
of being the first man to advocate giving
a pig to every child.
All farm problems may be solved by
putting a pig Into every home, in the
opinion of Mr. Mays. He even goes so
far as to declare that boys who own
pigs will not dissipate their savings by
riding around In atreet cars. He con
tinues: "Give every child a pig, and let that pig
belong to that child in fact, not n play
pig. The practical pig club In every home
will buy more ponies and books and new
clothes and end more boys to agricul
tural college than all other clubs com
bined. "The boy and girl with money in bank
and a pen of pigs at home are not so
anxious to ride on street cars and
limousines and dandle away their lives
on hard streets that lead to No Account
Avenue. The boy who sticks to the hog
game Is headed down Presperity Avenue
faster than the speed limit in Frog Eye."
"PIGS IS PIGS" HEALTH
AUTHORITIES RETORT
Porkers Lead to Hospitals, Not Col
leges, They Say.
Health authorities here are Indignant
over the "plg-for-every-chlld" slogan.
Philadelphia experts contend sueh a move
ment would send more children to the
hospitals In a month than would reach
college through this means In several
yrs.
It was pointed out, while pigs are not
of necessity filthy animals, proper facili
ties we required to raise them. To
attempt Mo rear a pig in a. city home
would not only be likely to result n the
death of the pigs, but also In disease to
the owners, it was said.

"We havo a definite following-, members

Mr. Little. "There Is vary little variation
in this money. It la true we have more
to take care of thia year, and less money
than heretofore, but that Is because of
the financial depression and does not fol
low that local charity money Is being
diverted abroad. It Is independent of the
foreign relief funds.
"A certain number of poor from outside

this time of the (year, dependent upon us
