y Model Homes Planned for Washin<jton--Redi:cc
Sick Rate.
>f Washington, D C,April 24:?Plans
y have just been completed for the
e erection of a series of model homes '
in the city of Washington for the
n purpose of demonstrating to the na- j
t tion the relationship between good urf
^ housing and good health. These are t|ln
h to be known as the Ellen Wilson bo\
onH oro nr?f in the nature of I,,,
je ^
an experiment,but are intended as a ag<,
j demonstration to the entire United t|e,
States. \
The intimate connection between pto
bad housing and bad health and good for
" housing and good health is clearly au,
n recognized in Washington,where the bo\
alley dwellings have long been a- eff<
e matter of concern both to the health tioi
.s authorities and to public-spirited ]
^ citizens who wish the capital city to js s
j be an example to the nation. The fo<>t
J alleys have been paved, sewer and ]
v water mains have been laid in them, ren
q they are lighted and cleaned as are qU.
streets. Yet they keep their old lead the
over the streets when it comes to to- the
.g taling the figures for disease and j,OJ
death. Int
d In this, Washington's experience ing
j. has been like that of Liverpool and tha
g other European cities which tried
e unsuccessfully to make badly situate
ed dwellings wholesome by cleaning on
and fumigating. After thirty-three
years of unavailing effort to improve 0
ls that which was fundamentally bad, sjtj
Liverpool finally decided that the
? 1 -. Ion in n?ir>inrr nnt it? lin
UUiy UUJJC irajr ill WV.V
,r sanitary areas. It demolished the |)e
g old houses by the acre and in place yn
j. of them built new houses. Where sta
? dwellings have been crowded so close ^
is together that there was scarcely pas- ara
ir sage room for a stout man to squeeze
his way to one of the rear houses, it jRW
j. built new dwellings opening upon a||
jt wide spaces which provided light and are
air. Immediately sickness and death ^
v decreased?and with them vice and ^
d crime. What had seemed a hopeless tax
y struggle for mere than a generation ^ j
is was won. fr0
j Other cities in Europe have done (je?
j. the same and with tne same resuus,: ^
but what makes Liverpool's figures j ^
of unusual value is that the new t (
,e houses are occupied by the same . m
,v people who occupied the old ones. con
In some cases the population is 99% j ^
j the same as that which lived on the
area in the old buildings. So here ^
the effect of housing is not com pi icated
by questions of different occupants.of
better food or clothing or a ' 1
's generally higher standard of living.
The housing only has been changed,
^ and the results are striking.
j Washington is attempting much ?
the same work, though in a less dra- ^
t matic manner. Congress has enact- B
' ed a law which goes into effect July V
j 1, 1918, according to which all the k
alley dwellings in the District of Co- P
lumbia must cease to be used for k
*s dwelling purposes. Meanwhile, in I
order that there may be accommo- ?
dation for those who will be forced
to seek new homes in street houses, P
( there has been organized a limited k
a dividend company which is to build B
a houses that will be not only sanitary, T
that will provide not only abundance H
e of light and air, but houses attrac- r
t tive architecturally,homelike in their k
j' arrangements and containing bath J
' rooms and provisions for hot water k
in Dlace of the old out-door closets I
and hydrants. ^
Such houses as these cannot, of B
, course, yield the return upon the in- P
vestment that the old houses did. L
t In fact, Congress in its act incorpor
, ating the Ellen Wilson homes limited T
its dividends to 5% net. But they B
_ will yield to their stockholders a div- V,
idend in the form of satisfaction be- ^
cause of a needed work well done. P
n To their tenants they will give relief ^
from preventable sickness and death B
and an increase in the joy of living,

9 Eiditor County Record:? ki
I am sending you this report be- ^
s cause I want you to have a correct ^
- account of what took place at this B
a hearing, as I understand the impres- r<
> sion has been created that I was un- B
fair to Miss Wilson in my questions
concerning the use of the school
r buildings on Sunday for political V
' gatherings, and in my endeavor to ^'
get her to agree with me that the B
bill ought to be amended so that the F,
negroes would meet in negro school B
buildings, and the white people meet ^
in the white school buildings. By ^1
reading the places that are marked I
, you will note that the chief points of Fi
. contention were whether or not the m
, schools should be used on Sunday for W,
. political meetings, and whether or Iw
. not the audiences should be mixed 0
, audiences,that is.composed of whitps w 11
t and negroes. I entertain the same B
f views about the whites and negroes r,
< in Washington that 1 do in my own ^
s district.and wnile I would much have
nroforrpd f?>r this. Question not to W'
- have been raised in this way, 1 feel B

e the ra<vs should be segregated, and B

irter of a century, and it is today
standard household remedy in

with the Department of the

wrote Dr Caldwell recently
t "Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is

our people should be properly

nds, the schools are one of the
/ places where the races are sep,ted.
Intermarriages between
ites and blacks are permitted by
street cars, railway trains and

cks; and as this is the capital of
nation,and as the whole nation is

ieve that the Representatives

am only sending this report down
with this letter in order that you
may understand my position, as I
have been informed chat my attitude
has been misunderstood in the district.
I have no apologies to make
for the position taken, and I shall
maintain it in the committee, and on
the floor of the House, and try to
prevent the enactment of this bill
iato law without regard to the power
or prestige of influence that may
be put behind it. Believing absolutely
in the superiority of the white
race, I am opposed to anything at
home or here that tends to bring together
on a footing of equality the
two races, either socially or otherwise.
Yours very truly,
