CLAIMS DISCOVERY OF OLD GOLD MINE

CINCINNATI, O, Oct. 8 (U, P) —| A Cincinnati man claimed today that he had rediscovered the fabled “Swift Mine” of Kentucky legend and that assays of its ore had re- | vealed gold content of $160 to $180 a | ton. | I. H. Kopf said he and an exploring party found the mine—of which | adventurers have told fanciful stories through nearly two centuries |

At the meeting of the American Public Health Association here this | morning Mr. Britten declared: “To me the failure of society appreciably to improve housing conditions in many years ih this country means one thing—that health authorities must co-operate with organized labor in meeting this problem, because the persons who are going to live in the houses

are the ones most directly concerned in furthering housing reform. Equally it is a challenge to organized labor to develop an increasing interest and expertness in this field.” Quotes Inventory Figures

Mr. Britten quoted figures from the National Health Inventory of the Public Health Service and from

how many homes in the nation are overcrowded and without adequate sanitary facilities. Those who have | just struggled with the problem of | finding a better home on this last | moving day know from their own | experience how bad the situation is. The housing situation evidently is going from bad to worse uniess something is done soon. Mr. Britten also quoted figures showing that by 1041 we shall need some 4,000,000 new homes and by 1945 we shall | need nearly 10,000,000. These figures | are based on economic demand, not | on social needs. { Eight essentials of a healthful home environment were drawn up by Myr. Britten as follows: (1) a pure and sufficient water supply; | (2) sanitary sewage disposal; (3) | sufficient ventilation, heat and | light: (4) space enough for ordinary family demands; (5) absence of excessive dampness; (6) screening against flies and mosquitoes; (7) freedom from fire and other risks
