:Vienna Has That Distinction—A Move
Toward Housing Reform.Inno other capital in Europe ha3the cost
Iof livingIncreased so greatly during the'last two or three years as in Vienna, and
Iparliament haa taken one step toward
ieasing the strain by a grant of money forjthe building of cheaper dwellings. Fifty
j thousand pounds a year for ten year 3wi'l\u25a0 be placed at the disposition of local au-:thorities and buiid'.r g associations with this
iobject.* The amount is not very large, but it Is
ia beginning toward the improvement ofithe housing of the poor, who suffer ter-. riblv at present from overcrowding. Ac-cording to the last statistics available
1nearly one-half of the apartments in Vien-na—which are all flats—consist of only oneroom, sometirr.es with a kitchen, but most-
:ly ivithout. Forty-three per cent of the!whoie population are livingin these one-|room flats. And that is not the worst, forInot fewer than thirty thousand of th»se>miserably small dwellings are occupied by
. six or more persons.The sad consequences of such overcrowd-
jing are plainly to be seen in the mortalitystatistics of the city. In the crowded tene-Iment districts 296 deaths In 10.C00 are re-corded, against 123 in the better class dis-
J tricts. And as regards tuberculosis—Vien-na's greatest scourge— 7o persons In K».000die from this disease in the working clacsquarters, as compared with 16 in the othbr• districts.
Parliament's action in granting: money. for building sanitary dwellings in Vienna
has certainly not come any too soon.—

Enhancing the \/alue ofOur Oberammergau
Pictures.On his return recently from a European
-trip a well known local theatrical man-"jager stated that the famous Passion Play jof Oberammerirau would not be brought ;
to this country on account of the eices- |«;:ve cost. As a matter of fact, the Pas- :Eioa Play at any other place than Ober- |jainmergau or amid any different Burround- iIn? s would lose Its significance as a strict- |2y religious spectacle, which is the foun-dation of ice existence. •.
-— . _ .However, the Passion Play of Oberam-
arergau Is not the or.lv Passion Play that jever was given. At the end of the eigh- jteenth century nearly every town and vil- j!*#=> li. Bavaria had its Passion Play, j£oxr» of them contained unfortunate and*sves scandalous passages, it Is said. In.trie of these- the devil waa represented as jCuttins Judas open and devouring him. jla Mittenwald those playing the parts of jfcho Jewish crowd drove ChrSstus around ',(the \illag« streets with ribald cries and j•Jongs. Theee exhibitions had no ten-dency toward religious feeling, and it Islittle "wonder that the presentation of the ItPasslon Play *aifinally forbidden by the j"feovernmeot, and only allowed to resume (.•when it was assured that the real stimu- Ilus for the drama would be religiously ad-Lc-red to. . •
How different are the powerful tableaustof the- present Passion Play! "Witness ther | red yet dramatic pictures of Christfcefora Herod and.
