Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, has presented to the senate the report of the London Board of Trade report with working class rents, housing and retail prices in numerous American cities. Muncle is the Indiana city dealt with by the re port. Describing Muncle, the report says that the city affords an interest ing example of rapid industrial changes during recent years. "Out side the small . business center Muncle ha's almost a rural aspect," says the report. "The streets in the residental quarters are all lined, with trees on either side. Dwelling houses of all classes are almost entirely framebuilt, and stand detached on plots thirty to forty feet wide. "There is, consequently, no lack of space and air, a circumstance which should be favorable to public health. Unfortunately these conditions are accompanied in large portions of the Unfortunately these conditions are acclty which are occupied by the working classes, by a corresponding rural simplicity in sanitation and water supuly, with the result that typhoid .fever and smallpox are not so rare as they should be. Modern drainage and water suppdy have been installed." Continuing the report says: "In Muncle, as in many American cities, the best types of houses occupied by wage earners are thoBe which are pur chased in the installment plan. Quite a number of occupying owners were found in the types of houses already mentioned, but the proportion increases with the value of the houses. "This is most noticeable in the case of seven-room houses.. There are really two distinct classes of seven-room houses, the two-story semi-detached house which is found to a certain extent in the suburbs, and is without modern sanitation or bathroom, letting for hardly more than houses with five or six rooms on one floor, and the modern built, detached, two-story house, containing seven rooms and a bathroom. The last mentioned type of house is occupied to some extent by the better paid wage earners." The investigators found that the cost of living in Muncle is considerable lower than In large cities.

BORRISS IS SOLOIST

Will Be a Feature of - Musical Festival. May" II The announcement that Mr. Aurele Borriss, of Earlham college, has been engaged as a soloist for the Richmond May: Festival 'of .1911. Mill be greeted with pleasure by all who have heard him. ; To such no commendation of the vocal art of Mr. Borriss is now ne cessary. In the two recitals he has given during this season, one at Earl ham college and one in Pythian temple he has amply proven himself to be a singer of rich vocal endowment, generous understanding, fine and warm feeling and thorough training, and one whose readings are authoritative. Richmond is fortunate in securing the services of a teacher and singer of such capability; and it is but proper recognition that Mr. Borriss is to sing on each of the three programs of the Festival. Mr. Borriss is a native of Germany In Berlin and other cities he studied the physiology of voice production and the art of singing, also musical theory and composition, under the best teachers of Europe. Following this period he had several years of experience as an opera singer, visiting many European cities. It was as an opera singer that he came to America. Here he sang for three years with the Grand Opera in Philadelphia, quitting only when that venture was abandoned. He then decided to take up recital work and teaching, and as teacher of voice shortly afterward accepted his present position with the Marion, Indiana Conservatory of Music. He'll Hear It Later On.

Modern methods also increase the risk of the occupation for Canadian records show that the percentage of deaths In creased steadily from 11 per cent, in 1904 to 20 per cent in 1909.
