And while St. Patrick himself regarded as the man who drove Ireland, there is no documentary that he ever crusaded against the serpents There even is doubt as to where he was born, in England or France, as to where he was buried and his age at death, reputed to be 106 years, There is dispute as to whether he by proclamation or solely by tradition. is most popularly the snakes from | evidence available was a saint But these are all matters of small consequence. The significant fact is that he lived such a useful life in the cause of ri cousness and in the advancement of his church that he is re- membered to this day.

Ten million American families, or 50,000,000 per- sons, on farms, in towns and cities, now live in slumslike abodes undermining health, character, morals and the basis of democracy. Listen to Senator Robert F. Wagner as he sys- lmnan("tlh discussed this growing American curse, 'and we believe that two things become certainties. First, the peril to people and institutions is too enormous to trifle with the problem longer. Second, the nation can never get on itssfeet economically till housing construction is speeded up to gigantic proportions. This, we believe, has become the para- mount task of the American Government and business. The housing construction industry was formerly a mainstay of national employment and well being. Now 4,000,000 building trade workers are jobless. Relate that financial helpfulness of, say, 20,000,- 000 people with the fact that nearly 50,000,000 lack the means of emerging from slum homes. Money loaned for houses for more than four families in 1926, Senator Wagner says, was $2,311,- 000,000 and last year but $280,000,000. A 33 per cent housing slump from 1928 to 1929 was, in fact, the bellwether leading to depression. Stagnation, with houses aging and none replacing them and popula- tion growing, has since been scarcely broken except that this January building permits for homes ex- ceeded those of January, 1935, by 166 per cent. Less than 7,000 families in the nation, however, were affected, which was a fleabite. Senator Wagner sums up:—Infant mortality in the worst slums is three times greater than in prosperous neighborhoods. Three of very four babies have rickets. Tuberculosis danger is thirty times| as great, crime is two and a half times as great, juvenile delinquency four times as great. And four times as many women are al ted. Insanity is seven tim s great. Weakened bodies increase industrial other diseases. Fires are more frequent We believe that Senator Wagner's facts show the time has come for Congress, cities and the American people to treat housing not simply as a human| right, or even or the economic necessity which it | is, or even as a bulwark against dictatorship; it| must be treated as a minimum and urgent essential to halt the fast demoralization of the character and United States Steel may continue to inlerez: some | that the appointment of Frank A.| 1936 e Modern Etiquette By Roberta I .ee i — HAPPY ——BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their Cirthday anniversary, .o the /allo:.;- ing: i Q.

One of the major changes in the revised naming system is the elim- | ination of the numerous “ways," which after July 15 will be called with the exception of the road | leading from Bawden street at the Ketchikan General hospital to the ball park. Mahoney street also is to'be eradicated—as a name—and the thoroughfare from Stedman to Park streets will be known as Deermount street. As a result of the last-named change, there will be no Woodland avenue. The new name is a con- | traction of Deer mountain. Coun- cilmen also showed a preference | to designate streets by names in- | stead of numbers.

Although there is a strong benefic| | aspect today, adverse influences too are active, according to astrology. Under this sway jealousies may be exceedingly strong and vindictive. While this is a promising rule for the starting of any sort of project ory business, the best opportunity will be that which is promotedéby gov- ernment aid. Lawyers now will be much in evidence and amonz them women will seek prominence. A period of many speeches will bring fame to a few, but in many cases it is well' Persons in the Sun have the best of forecasts for the future. Though, they may have many enemies thcy are likely to overcome them. Saturn is in a place of evil portent to workers, many of whom may be exceedingly rebellious and difficult to deal with. Strikes will continue. Warring is given that danger lies for meny in enforced idleness. Ac- tivity of mind and bedy are en- joined. The seers advise makng! work where none appears to exist. There is a sign read as encour- aging secret conferences, intrigue and deceit in many public move- ments. Politics may be more devious in dark ways than is usual, even in the most strenuous campaigns. Death of a party leader in the coming summer is foretold for the national political campaign. Many unexpected conditions may create anxieties. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of busi- sible disagreements with associates. Woemen should have a happy twelve months. Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly forceful and determined in character. These persons who are on the cusp of Pisces and Aries may have unusual‘ intellectual gifts. | Grover Cleveland, twenty-second United States, was born on this & day 1837.
