Housing Law and Medical In
spection in Schools
Thin I the fourth In n aerlea of Inter,

bj- Mnjor-flrcl Thnmn II, Smith, roil
cerrilna; their plan for the ndmlnlalra..
(Ion of thrlr department.
The whole civic, profcsslotml ant polltl
en I force of Phllndclphln will be lined
Up by Dr. Wilmer Krusen and thrown
Into the movement for bettering the
health' of the city when ho ns.utne
cliarne In Jniumry of the Department of
rublle Health mid Chnrltlen, to the direc
torship of nlilch he has been appointed
by JIayor-clcct Thomas 11. Smith.
Doctor Krusen has not made out a de
tailed plan of the policy he wilt adopt
but In a general way ho Is absolutely In
fnvor of all the Kreat reforms and Inv
provcmentB proposed In the Department
of Tubllc Health nnd Charities, lie Is for
the new UlOckley, the Kreat Ilyberry ex
pansions, the new housing taw. adequate
facilities for the en re of the Insane ami
tho thorough medical Inspection of school
children.
Of nil the appointments made so far to
his cabinet by the Mayor-elect, only that
of Doctor Krusen Is looked upon as of a
personal nature. Kor years Mr. Smith
nnd tho noted Philadelphia surgeon hnve
been intimate friends. They nro absolute
ly In accord as to the health nnd chirltlcs
policy. Politicians of nil beliefs also arc
in favor of tho progressive measures for
this department, and the medical profes
sion Is a unit for all the reforms sug
gested or planned.
HIS HEAIIT IN HIS TASK.
Since his appointment. Doctor Krusen
has been the recipient of scores of letters
from all parts of the State, from doctors
nnd surgeons, from politicians and ofllce
holdcrs, congratulating him upon the op
portunity for making Philadelphia one of
tho most healthful cities In the United
Statesl Thnt his heart Is In the work
ahead of him Is obvious. Ills friends snv
ho feels It his duty to devote tho next few
years to the Interests of the city.
Two of the things in which Doctor Kru
sen Is most deeply Interested are housing
nnd tho maintenance of Philadelphia's po
sition as a medical centre. The I.OOO.OOO
provided In the new $30,000,000 loan for
new sowers will make It possible to ex
pedite the enforcement of the new hous
ing act, but until every street In the
city Is provided with a sewer Doctor Kru
sen believes It will be a real problem to
make tho act really effective.
WILL, ENFOIICB THD I,AW.
"To enforce this law without hardship
to property owners, and yet with duo re
gard to the prevention of disease nnd
crime," he says, "wlll rcqulro sane Judg
ment. The law is to be enforced, how
ever. In Its every provision. Every ono
knows that tho better housing conditions
will prevent disease, but there Is an nd
mlrable lighting provision for tenement
houses In the act that, properly enforced,
should likewise prevent crime. The de
velopment of the new system of sewers
will mako the housing reforms more
nslly accomplished, and, therefore, I will
do all In my power to hasten the work
on the system."
Director Krusen will go' Into offlco
without any misunderstanding of tho un
fortutmto conditions at lllockley. Ho will
mive me support of tho whole adminis
tration, Including Councils, In remedying
them
"Blockley Is overcrowded In nil depart
ments," he says, "The city owns 000
acres nt Byberry. Speedy steps should
be taken to remove the Indigent to By
berry, A new Insane hospital should be
built along modern lines. A new modern,
well-equipped general hospital should be
erected at the present site of Blockley or
some other convenient site. All this will
take time. Little or nothing can be done
nt Blockley until a homo Is made for tho
Indigent, and, therefore, the buildings at
Byberry will be in prime necessity."
WIW. SEEK CQRDIAL HELATIONB.
Director Krusen Is Interested In tho
maintenance of cordial relations between
the Department of Health and Charities
.nnd the general practitioner, as their
work frequently overlaps He wants to
foster the best of feeling between tho two
nnd the contlnuanco of the crusade of
education for the laity to establish tlrmly
In the mind of every citizen that healthy

rules nro made for the good of the
rlous parts of tho city, such ns nro n,
feature of nearly all European cities.
Among the letters of congratulation re
ceived by the new director Is ono frorri
n noted physician who strongly advocates
this movement.
Dr. Samuel (1. Dixon, Stato Commis
sioner of Health, was one of tho first to
congratulate Doctor Krusen. Ho believes
thnt under the Smith administration tho
"greatest hospital In the country" Is to be
built. This letter nnd others show that
tho appointment of Doctor krusen met
with enthusiastic approval everywhere,
Ho will not lack suoport In anything he
may undertnkc for the benefit of tho pub
lic health.
I.lko tho other members of tho new
cabinet, Doctor Krusen Is dceplv Im
pressed with tho opportunities afforded
tho new administration to make n wonder
ful rccoru.

"I am also extremely anxious to co
operate with the committee appointed
by the PemiHlvnnln State Medical So
ciety." snid Doctor Krusen, "to help
Philadelphia nvtlntnln her prestige ns a
medical teaching centre. We have six
medical schools In thin city. In former
years Philadelphia was the only great
medical centre In the t'nlted States, but
other cities, such as Chicago. New York
nnd Ualtlmore. hnxo been ndvanclng In
this respect recently. Philadelphia prob
ubly has published n larger number of
medical volumes than any other clt Her
tenchcis have always been authors and
Investigators, nnd there l every reason
why, with the aid of the department, her
proud position enn bo maintained."
CUKES OF THE INSANE.
Doctor Krusen does not believe that the
Stato will tako over the Insane of cities
of the first class. He believes the city
should make ndequnto provision for till?
woik. in this connection lie points out
thnt tho records of private Instltutlunn
show a remnrkablc percentage of cures.
Such asylums nre rnrely overcrowded.
At lllockley, under present conditions.
It Is Impossible to give ccry patient tho
Individual care necessary to bring about
a cure.
The new director also Is In favor of a
continuance of the food and milk In
spection methods of the department He
points out thnt there no longer any
question ns to the value of these inspec- I
tlons to the public health, and he, there, i
fore, Is determined to keep up tho stand
ards. A movement that has been brought up I
tentatively several times In this city for '
tho public convenience will bo fostered
by Doctor Krusen. It is for the estab
lishment of public comfort stations In vn-

War Roosts Window Glass Trade
Manufacturers of window glnss say this
Is the hen season In the history of the
trade. Imports In thnt lino have prnc
tlcally ceased, on nccouut of the war,

period the previous year.

TYDURABILIi
Dalton durability is standard. Years of f
service in thousands of offices, banks, Governmental
S Deportments, factories and business institutions of all kinds every- 1
5 where, have long since demonstrated this fact. E
v In times past, however, before the ex- 1
H perience of these users "was available, actual tests
s under the direction of our own engineers had conclusively demon- H
5 strated that, while springs and n few minor parts subject to pecu- 5
s liar wear might require replacement now and then, there is no E
E such thing as wearing out a Dalton, E
Owners of early models have in some 1
S instances replaced them with Daltons of late manu-
5 jacture in order to secure the benefit of improved features ; but the
old machine was found in every instance none the worse for wear E
j and still capable of years of effective service. E
I And why not ? The Dalton is built of
I the best materials that money can buy. It is con-
I structed on the best and soundest mechanical principles known to
S the genius of man, and no better or more durable machine ever E
s will or ever can be built until someone produces a better grade of E
5 steel than is now on the market, or discovers a better mechanical E
ijj principle than the pivotal, which prevails throughout. This is the S
pledge ot Dalton durability.
A Dalton at SI 25. 00 will handle any- I
thing- up to $10,000.00, Perhaps you would need a
.machine of larger capacity; but whatever your requirements,
there is a Dalton to fill the bill. Write or telephone for free
demonstration I oday.

MILITANT CHRISTMAS FOR
AMERICAN CHILDREN
Toyland this Christmas Will reflect the transatlantic carnage with Its varied
panoplies of war, and great will be the havoc in the nursery armies when the.
Busy Berthas" begin to bark. True, this warfare is child's play, but it has more
spectacular features of the real "front" in Europe than you would imagine. A
highly interesting illustrated article in Sunday's Public Ledger tells all about the
warlike atmosphere of Toyland,
