Tho tall man was Rep. Hon Johnson
of Kentucky, chairman of thr con

A thin woman holding a tiny baby
In her arms .sat on her door stop,
watching the party without interest.
"I see you have a new baby a
girl?" she was asked.
"Ycst." ghe answered, wearily, "and
I'm sorrv. I wish it was a boy."
"Why?"
"Because a girl can't grow up good
In an alloy."
Mrs. Wilson found a large family
washing hanging out to dry across
one end of the alley. Happing back

"Heaven alone knows what disease
gerrns are taken up by the clothing."
After visiting the second alley
Chairman Johnson turned to Mrs.
Wilson, with serious face, and said:
"Mrs?. Wilson, I've seen enough, I
am convinced. I will agree to any
thing you want done."
He askej how many human beings
lived in these alley slums.
"Sixteen thousand," Mrs. -Hopkins
answered, "of whom 10,000 are ne
groes and 6,000 whites." And she
added:
"The death rate for babies under
one year in the alleys is .17:1 for each
1,000, while outside it Ia 158 for each
thousand. In some of the alleys half
of them die the iirst vear."
