Every evening at 8 o'clock a bright
faced boy with a shock of red-brown
hair takes off his dark-blue overalls and,
donning his street suit, wends his way
down to Qlrard avenue and 2d street,
there to fulfill a duty.
He doesn't go straight njme. Ho may
e as hungry as a Httlo bear, or as tired
as only a boy can be who has worked
In a dairy from early In tho morning until
upper tlmo, doing anything and every
thing that is asked of htm, but he goes
Just the same. '
For If he doesn't go "Mr. Green," the
sight watchman down there by the rail
road tracks, will not only be disap
pointed, but -will be extremely embar
rassed. There will be no one to "hist"
tho lantern.
And so Freddy Schneider, that Is the
royB name, goes down and "hlsts" It.
If you ask Freddy why for the laBt
two rears he has delegated to himself
the performance of this nightly task he
will tell you that "Mr. Green has only
one good leg tho other one Is wooden
and that lt'a a pretty bard matter for
Sman with one leg to climb a pole
Igher than your second-story window
and fasten a lantern on It"
FItBDDT A HEAL SCOUT.
Freddy Is a Boy Scout, one of the
banner members, and has bean for sov
ml years; therefore, climbing tall poles
and scaling high walls and performing
other dangerous feats aro second nature
to him.
Moreover, tho seed of the Boy Scout
teaching, that every member who Is true
to his uniform will do at least one
"good turn" a day, has taken firm root
In Fred's heart, and, Judging from tho
testimony of tho aunt with whom ho lives,
at 2753 Fnlrlilll street, and from the
neighbors In tho vicinity, tho boy Is not
content with just one "good turn," and
In tlmo of stress he's the standby of
the neighborhood.
When tho housekeeper across the way
found It wna Hearing noon with her hus
band coming homo to lunch and tho
grocery boy not yet arrived with the pro.
visions, she'd cnll for Freddy and that
willing youngster would hustle up the
supplies and thus avert a domestic
tragedy. When thero was coal to be
brought up or snow to bo shovelled away,
Fred Schneider could always bo rolled
upop.
' He Isn't a little prig by any means. One
look at his snappy gray eyes is proof of
that He's a real boy, with all of the
mischievous prnnklnesa of his sex, but
with a little moro bravery than a great
many.
Freddy has saved a life and rescued a
child from a burning house Just like a
real moving plcturo hero. But judging
from his description of the thrilling net,
he looks upon it as an adventure rather
than a deed of heroism.
SAVES BABY IN FIRE.
"It ya.s this way." he says, shoving his
hands deep down into his overalls pocket,
"I was walking along In a Sunday
school parade qne afternoon and Just
when we como'to-Falrmdunt avenue and
M street I saw smoke. Johnny Christian,
whowns next to me, he saw it, too, and
we made a dash."
"It was at 2d and Popular streets and
we got there Just as the fire engines came
up. Johnny and me went In right after
the first fireman, and yo utalk about
smoke. There was an old man over 70
years old In that house nnd a lady with
her little boy. The kid was sleeping and
I Just grabbed him up and brought him
downstairs and took him next door."
"The lady, she mot me on the way back
and kissed me right out on the street
dee that was awful!" Tho remomber
rance of "the lady'jp" kiss brought a
blush to Freddy's cheeks.
"Johnny and I stayed In the house for
x long time. We let lots of furniture
down on sheets through the window and
kept lot of things from burning. When
the firemen saw what wb was doing, they
handed us over the hose Just like we was
real firemen," this with a note of pride,
"and so we Just stayed on and helped
em out"
Being a Boy Scout at the present time,
according to Fred Schneider, Is a good
deal different from being one when he
first entered the organization.
"I went in it" he sayo naively, "be
cause I saw the fellows going on long
hikes In them little bloomers and I liked
'em, but I didn't know at that time how
the rest of the fellows made fun of the
bloomers. After I was taken in, I learn
ed they used to call us names and some
times throw things at us, but they don't
do it any more, 'cause every fellow who
Isn't a Boy Scat wants to be one now."
FEEL LIKE SOLDIERS,
The change in the uniform from bloonV
r to the regulation military breeches
and leggings was. In Freddy's opinion, one
of the best moves the Scout leaders ever
made. "It makes you feel like a sol
dier and makes you want to act like
one," said he,
Fred Schneider has not been cuddled in
the lap of luxury, nor has his 'home in
fluence been what the sociologists believe
to be conducive to the best growth of
young America, but Freddy fell under
the Influence of the Boy Scout movement
Wlit.li lie was at the Impressionable age,
and It was a lucky day for him when
he was taken with "the bloomers."
In the boy's picturesque phraseology
the Boy Scouts "is a good thing because
It teaches a fellow to do stunts that are
interestln' without being bad," and the
conclusion to be drawn from his state
' ment Is that a fellow has simply got to
do "stunts" and that he'd just as leave
du the constructive kind as the destructive
ones. If some one would only get hold
of him at the right period and tell him
how.
Freddy believes this, and so he has per
suaded hla llttjej seven-year-old brother,
Herman, to enter the ranks of the' "be
prepared." Not that Herman needed much
persuasion.
"He's the mascot," said Freddy, "and
the fellows treat him fine. They've made
him the drum major, and, gee, lie fooks
awful cute In hla uniform."
Fred lilmlf Is a member of the band
of Troop 31. He plays the bass drum and
Just at present all of hla evenings are
given over to practice, for on December 9
e, cunlest uf all the Boy &.out bands Is
to lie held In Independence Hall.

DR. ROSS V. PATTERSON
DOCTOR GIVES VIVID
PICTURE OF PERILS
OF CITY TENEMENTS
Dean Patterson, of Jefferson
Medical College, Says
Housing Conditions Are
Cause of Disease.
Exposure, filth and Insanitary plumbing
In "cellar rooms" of the tenement dis
tricts, Dr. Ross V. Patterson, Dean of
Jefferson Medical College, today said,
were the thiee great causes for infant
mortality.
Doctor Patterson, who has personally
visited pome of the houses, which re
semble caves, ae a graphic word pic
ture, Bhoulng why hundreds of babies
come Into the world dead.
It Is nlso tho belief of Dean Patterson,
who is one of Philadelphia's leading
practitioners, that the decrease in births
In certain Fectlons of the city Is primarily
duo to Insanitary conditions.
"Change present social conditions nnd
then you will undoubtedly lower the death
toll among Infants as well as-mothers,"
said Doctor Patterson.
Doctor Patterson Is among tho hun
dreds of noted experts on hygiene who
are In favor of the now Division of
Houslnsr and Sanitation, for which Coun
cils refuse to appropriate funds
Tho act creating a Division of Housing
nnd Sanitation was passed by tho Legis
lature more than a year ago and wns
signed by Governor Tener. Every effort
to get Councils to appropriate $213,710 for
the purpose of carrying the measure Into
effect has failed. The fate of the act
now rests with the Committee on Finance
of Councils, of which John P. Connelly
Is chairman.
CONGESTED CONDITIONS COSTLY.
Discussing Councils' nttltude towards
the new housing laws, Doctor Patterson
said:
"It would be much cheaper for the
municipality to grant the appropriations
now. Should Councils delay it meanB
that the city will be compelled to pay a
high figure for the acts of the sinners. I
mean that If conditions are not changed
tho hospitals, almshouses, orphan asyl
ums, nnd other charitable Institutions will
become crowded with victims of the tene
ments. The death toll which now exists
can never bo lowered while present con
ditions are not corrected."
Infant mortality, according to Doctor
Patterson, can be traced in many cases
directly to the door of the thousands of
broken down, unventiiated, insanitary,
wlndowless, brlckless and dust-covered
tenements. Doctor Patterson said many
cases of pneumonia, especially summer
complaints among Infants of the tene
ment districts, were attributable to filth
In different "cellar rooms" which often
are occupied by more than five persons.
CAUSES OF INFANT MORTALITY.
"The three great causes for Infant mor
tality and death of unborn children."
said Doctor Patterson, "are bad plumb
ing, exposure and filth. Those three de
fects must be changed. The change must
come during the year 1914.
" I feel certain and my colleagues will
agree with me that the health of the
mother and her unborn child, as well as
the health OC the living Infant, is con
stantly In danger whllethe municipality
sanctions the operations of certain tene
ment owners of this city.
"I have entered some of the 'cellar
rooms' many times. The scenes are piti
ful. It Is impossible for one unacquaint
ed with the truth to believe that such re
volting conditions actually exist In the
twentieth century. I have my doubts
whether such conditions are visible In
European countries.
"During the summer season many In
fants are stricken with summer com
plaint A careful study of this particular
ailment causes, me to believe that In
many cases summer complaint Is brought
on by dirt, bad plumbing and other bad
conditions.
"Relating to the unborn child, the
present conditions must be changed for
the sake of the next generation. The
next generation can't become a healthy
race while the present conditions prevail.
"Often the fate of the unborn child Is
settle4 long before It ( placed in its
mother's arms. The conditions of 3911 In
the tenement districts of Philadelphia are
not good for the woman who Is about
to enter motherhood,
UNWHOLESOME ENVIRONMENT.
"Picture to yourself where the pros
pective mother lives. Her home Is in
some small room. The probabilities are
that the room Is dingy or has to be
lighted during the- daytime with a kero
sene light. When not In the apartment,
which serves as a sleeping rtfom, kitchen
and parlor, she stands In a long, narrow
alley. The alley, as a rule. Is sandwiched
between two fences.
"What does she see all day?"
"Similar cases as hers. She sees sick,
pale and sunken-cheeked children, the
dirty alley where the sun shines once
In a great while. She hears her neigh
bors speak to her. Usually the topics
deal with the Insanitary conditions or
the health of their loved one. Then she
unfolds her (ale of woe.
"Hearing stories of misery from other
persons and constantly seeing evil con
ditlons have often a terrible effect on
motherhood."

from four towns were summoned to fight
flames which destroyed tho building
owned by J. g. Collins ft Son, Inc., anil
occupied by Albert McCombs, a tailor,
causing a toss of $50,000 this morning i
Heroic work on the part of volunteers
prevented the blnr.e from doing much
damage to structures near by. which were
Ignited by sparks.
Miss Mary Strobe!, nlnht operator In
the telephone exchange, opposite Iho
Collins building, discovered the flames and
sounded an alarm. j
The Rlvcrton Fire Compnny responded
promptly to the summons and the Pal
myra, Riverside nnd Moorestown com
panies were later sent for. Within an
hour the flames were under control and
the surrounding buildings of Joseph T
Evans, William N Mnttls, E E. Comp
ton nnd the New Era newspaper office
had been saved, though some of them
had been afire several times.
One of the peculiar Incidents about the
lire wns the fact the flames did not spread
to the butcher shop of William N. Mnttls,
which adjoined the iburnlng building,
while the Compton building, fully a hun
dred feet away became so hot thnt the
fireman had to play the hose on It. The
residence of William Elsole, BOO feet awav,
took fire on tho roof several times, but
was saved by the Rlvorslde Company.
A new fire hydrant hnd been Instnlled
only a few weeks ago In the centre of the
district visited by fire this morning.
COOKE AWARDS CONTRACTS
AGGREGATING $1,776,528
Announces Successful Bidders for
Street Cleaning and Ash Bemoval
Work.
Contracts aggregating $1,776,528 were
awarded today by Director Cooke, of
the Department of Public Works. This
amount represents the cost of cleaning
the streets, roads and markets and the
collection of ashes nnd rubbish In all
parts of Philadelphia during 1915.
The street cleaning work will cost
$1,232,817 and the cost or collecting and
disposing of ashes and rubbish will
amount to $543,681.
The total cost for the work In 1915 Is
$65,101 greater than during the current
year, nlthough even a larger Increase
had been expected by Director Cooke,
because under the new specifications all
country roads will be cleaned and sprin
kled regulnrly. It had been estimated
that this Innovation would add $110,000
to the cost of the work.
Director Cooke also divided In the new
specifications the ash removing nnd street
cleaning contracts. Increasing com

porformed both services under the street
cleaning contract. The awards of the
contracts and the districts were as fol
