Fort Wayne baa quite a number of Inhabited alleys, are respectable and. clean: But Duck alley'' Mrs. Bacon slowly ahoek her head as It she could not find words to express her. thoughts.

"Well, In all of my travels, I have never seen conditions worse than' those In Duck alley," Disgrace to the City. There can probably be no dissension from the opinion that Duck alley Is a disgrace to Fort Wayne and should; be abolished. It la not only an eyesore and a menace to publla safety, but la menace to. public health as. well.

A plague or epidemic of any sort would And a ready foothold In Duck alley and would spread from there to other parts of the city. And in the midst of all of the filth, disgrace and sordid ness of Duck alley there are Women who qe trying; to rear children, or who are perhaps, as the woman who was arrested the other day, allowing but only a few of these remain. Their outlook Is however, compared with the outlook from Duck alley. Probably the" smallest complete human habitation In Fort Wayne stands In this row. One house stands behind a tall billboard and Is entirely A dilapidated barn like structure In the Duck alley district, overlooking the' city dump.

where people actually live, and In some Instances rear children. Probably few people of Fort Wayne have never heard pr Duck alley, while but few people ever visited the place or even know Just where i Is. Duck alley has for yeurs been the abode of peoplo of a low character, oftentimes lawbreakers, and It is to say the least a menace to the public health. Most cities the size of Fort Wayne have more Inhabited alleys than Fort Wayne bus, and as a rule In a more unsightly and unsanitary condition. In some instances the houses in Fort Wayne's inhabited alleys are as good as or better than many houses located on streets, but the surroundings are, mqxl cases, wretched.

It must not be Imagined either that all peoplo who Hveln alleys In Fort Wayne are low brows and crooks, for such is not the case, Low rent Is ever a great attraction and In alleys the rent Is naturally very low Indeed. A Glimpst Duck Allty. Duck alley extends from Clinton atreet to Lafayette street, one halt block north of Superior. It Is tha dirtiest, ugliest and has always been CHlii Mill WKl 7 gLLE iiHflggHKnt asV On of tha elesnsst af Fort Wayne's inhabited alleys. Two houses and a shop are laeated hare at tha rear of the wast aide of Calhoun street, a few blacks south of the Pennsylvania tracks.

In most Instances one or two houses are all that ocriupy an alley la a single Mock. At the alley Intersection between Calhoun and Clinton and Murray and Wallace; streets stands house which Is not at all a had huhltn tlon.

It Is a comfortable looking llllle place of two Btorles, which Was probably at some time moved to its present location from some street. Nor Is It shut In on all tides by rows of Bur did stables, but liui the greenery of several Jack yards to give the eye some relief, from the everlasting gray of the alley. At another place, at the rear of a row of stores on Calhoun street, north of the Pennsylvania tracks, stands one the most disreputably Inhabited alley or two old houses which once faced on of the city. In past years the police Calhoun street, but which were forced were usually ready to expect anything to make way for business and were from a murder to a mere wife beating moved back and faced upon the alley, on Duck alley, and the patrol wagon These places are inhabited by negroes ana a ueiaii oi cops were always held with speedy call for a swift run to that place on Saturday night. It was the chief center of petty thieves and perpetual drunks and midnight brawls were as frequent aa "Hunky" lights at the Morris saloon In the rolling mill district Of late years Duck alley has not been so constantly before Oie public eye and ear.

People of a higher respectability have lived In the miserable houses that line tha alley, and only an occasional "mess" has required the attention of the police. It Is remarked, however, that only a little more than a week ago a pitiable case came to light when a man and woman were arreated In a shack In Duck alley for Hvlng In adultery. The man was a good for nothing bum of an un savory reputation and the woman was A pair of houses nsac th old Wabash freight houao in an alloy running south from Grand atrsot.

Several auch places exist in Fort Wayne, but they are so feiy as to be no great drawback to the Te spectablllty of the city. Duck alley la the one greatest evil In inhabited si' leys, and even Duck alley la not so vile a contamination spot as though it Typical shacks in Duck alloy. The house with the outside itsir caso is inhabited by two families, one upstairs and tha other downstairs, both living in extremely unsanitary conditions.

it was about five years ago that Herr Many difficulties confront Herr Spevak conceived a new idea for the Spevak in Vienna. Austria la first and manufacture of an artificial aubatltuta foramnat ftn lenltiirsT enantrv. The for meat Many ohemlstl nave at I farmer Is the there and he tempted to make discoveries along this line, but not one had ever found a substitute that really resembled meat lq both appearance and flavor, Herr Spevak. however) was not at all discouraged by this fact and In his laboratory he made hundreds and hundreds of experiments until he Anally hit upon What he thlnkB will solve the great question once and for all. Ills Idea Is one which will meet with universal success, he thinks.

For the past Ave years, then, Herr Spevak has workejl constantly improving and perfecting the process by Which he manufactures his Invention, until, not a great while ago, he felt that he had accomplished satisfactory results. He then sent samples of his "meat" to the Austrian bureau, which corresponds to the bureau of pure foods and drugs in the United States, to undergo a test. The test affirmed the fact that the stuff Is Just what Herr Spevak claims It to be, that it resembles meat in appearance and flavor, and that It contains 2 per cent more nourishment of the very sort that la contained in meat than meat Itself possesses. Ilerr Spevak was highly pleased with the result, of the test but was disappointed with the warning which wss suggested by the government namly, that to manufacture the substance In Austria would he to enter Into unjust competition with the fanner, who raises stock a his only means of livelihood, and further, that lie must not call it "meat" but that It must he called "artificial meat." The last objection was the lesser of the two. In Herr Spevak's estimation, but he is of the opinion that by coming to America he can manufacture and sell his product with gmUer freedom afld do a great service to this country as well.

Is a Vegetable Product. Artificial meat, as Herr Spevak now calls It, In strictly and purely a vegetable compound. The suhstanro consists nf a sort of a semi liquid compound derived from plants, cereals, starches and spices, and according to the Austrian analysis, Is a veritable nourishment, free from dangerous substances, and tastes exactly like that particular meat by which It is named. Ilerr Spevak, of course, retains his formula In the greatest secrecy. He states, however, that It contains about il per cent, of water, about 9 per cent.

of mineral stuffs, 24 per rent, of fat per cent nf protein, stsrrh, cellulose, and about 9 per cent, of extracts of other materials. Two hundred pounds nf artificial meat can he manufactured and sold at a profit for H. or 7 rents per pound. "Just Add Hot Water and 8orv." Mr. Zldek.

who has Just received several small boxes nf the artificial meat, describes It as being made In large pieces. to appearance with the naked eye the stuff greatly resembles real meat, although when examined under the microscope the grainy muscle for mstlim of meat Is found to Un lacking. To prepare the artificial meat for food purposes a piece Is rut off and boiled 1n water, whereupon It swells and assumes more than ever the appearance of rooked meat. Furthermore, this substitute for meat It la declared, can be made in the flavor of any meat desired. Herr Sneva has already perfected proc cesses by which he makes tha stuff with the flavors or Deer, veat, ranoit, chicken, and the resemblance la so great that It la declared persona eating It In the dark could not tell It from the real stuff.

Mr. Zldek haa distributed Borne among neighbors and they declare that It Is good, and they think the Idea Is an excellent one. Mr. Zldek Is planning to organize a company and get matters sufficiently far advanced that Herr Spevak can come over to this country and begin work Immediately. "This proposition Is going to meet with tremendous success," declared Mr.

Zldek. "With the price of real meat away up In the air there la certainly a great field for this artificial meat which will sell at not more than 10 cents per pound, and at a profit at that It is bound to prove popular, because It looks like meat tastes like meat, and contains even more nourishment, I do not think I will have a great deal of trouble in obtaining the necessary capital to make possUble the manufacture of this "meat" In this country, where materials me plentiful, and where the government encourages, rather than discourages, new enterprises."
