CLEAN UP TOMORROW Washington a Spotless Town by 9 O'Clock.. WOMEN ARE IN EARNEST And City Officials Are Backing Them Up in Crnsade. WATCH ON BUBBISH WAGONS Debris Dropped From Them to Be Picked Up and Sent to Municipal Building. Wasnington will be the cleanest city in the world tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, if the efforts of the ladies of the Twentieth Century Club and those who are oo-operating with them succeed in having the housewives of the District gather and burn all the stray paper, cir culars, rags and other rubbish that usu ally litters the premises where they live. Thursday, April 15, has been set apart by the ladles as "cleaning day." They are spreading the news far and wide, even into the remotest suburbs. They mean business all through. There is nothing sentimental or mawkish about the move ? ment. It is simply a sensible, earnest intention on their part, not only to see that the surroundings of their own homes are put in apple pie order, whatever that may mean, but to ask their sisters throughout the length and breadth of this I disfranchised community to do likewise. They are going to "clean up" what they feel the street cleaning department of the District government leaves in its wake after its carts have carried away the coarser debris that usually litters the street, much of it, as they claim, what the carts have left behind. City Officials Co-operating. Commissioner West has promised his hearty co-operation in the movement. He lias promised the rubbish wagons and their attendants shall be utilized to their limits in carrying out the purpose of "cleaning day." Woe be to the luckless driver of the dirt cart who leaves the rubbish In his cart uncovered as it wan ders through the streets. It is the in tention of the chairmen of the movement in each block of the city to lay in wait for the rubbish wagon, and. if through carelessness or otherwise, eithar in dump ing dirt into carts, or in falling to carry it away at all, old newspapers, lunch bags, scraps of any sort are permitted to escape and chase each other up and down the streets and alleys the rebellious scraps will be gathered Into bags to be carried to the municipal building Friday morning as evidence of dereliction on the part of the street cleaning department. There Isn't going to be anything left to arapiment. Indisputable facts. In the form of-greasy lunch bags, old newspapers, scur rying circulars, torn letters, empty en velopes, everything, in fact, In the way of rubbish that litters the streets, the park ing in front of the houses, the public parks and even the rear alleys, is to be gathered by the ladles In gunny sacks, properly labeled, with the names of wit nesses, and deposited in Commissioner West's room Friday morning. House-to-House Canvass. That there may be nothing left undone to fix upon the rubbish wagons the blame for anything that litters the city to morrow the lady chairman in each city block is making her rounds today with an earnest request to each housewife in the block to make a special effort to see that her premises at least are not lit tered with papers or anything at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Furthermore, each housewife is to be urged to put a cover of some kind on her old ash barrel or rubbish box. that none of its contents may escape. The brisk breezes that blow over the city this time of the year may be depended upon to search out the insecure box and barrel and chase out into the open light of observation loose papers and scraps from the waste heap as tangible evidence against those re sponsible for dereliction. The ladies are going to have a clean city tomorrow morning at ? o'clock or know the reason why. MADE NO NEW WILL. Mary A. Lumsden Revoked Testa ment Before She Died.

MOVE IN INTEREST OF HEALTH Dr. Woodward Gives Seasons Why the Change Advocated Should Be Adopted by the Authorities. Stricter regulations to prohibit Ihe sale of food' that is exposed to the dust and dirt of the street, unless it is properly wrapped and covered, have been recom mended to the District Commissioners by Health Officer Woodward. Commisloner Macfarland has approved the new regu lations and they will be submitted to the other Commissioners this afternoon. Proposed Regulations. Health Officer Woodward recommends that the present regulations regarding the sale of food from open stands be re placed by the following: "Section 60. No person shall expose for sale on any public highway or in any un inclosed market, store, shop, stand or stall, or upon any open lot, in the Dis trict of Columbia any meat, fish, plucked I poultry or game bird, dressed rabbit or squirrel, butter, butterlne, oleomargarine, lard, lard compound or substitute, cheese, candy, cake, bread, dates, figs or any food whatsoever of a kind not common ly washed, peeled, shelled or cooked be fore being eaten unless the same be ef fctually and' in a cleanly manner wrap I ped or covered and inclosed, so as to pro I tect It from dust and Insects. I "No person shall expose for sale in any place aforesaid between April 1 and October 81, Inclusive, of any year any fresh meat or fresh fish, unless said meat I or fish while thus exposed be kept at a I temperature not exceeding 50 degrees I Fahrenheit." Stricter Regulation Urged. Urging the adoption of these new regu lations as a protection of the public health. Dr. Woodward has written as fol lows to the Commissioners: "This recommendation is based upon the necessity for protecting foods while thus exposed In the open air from the dust and dirt of the street, which is made up to a considerable extent of matter of the most offensive character and which tends to promote decomposition. Observations made by the health department show the necessity for compelling the adoption of such measures, as, with exceedingly few exceptions, they have not been voluntarily adopted. Two Methods Available. "There seems to be but two methods of accomplishing the end now aimed at. one is to absolutely forbid the sale of food stuffs of the kinds to which this amend ment relates, except in regularly estab lished markets and stores, the other is to undertake to regulate the matter in the manner set forth in the proposed amend ment. It should be understood by all in terested parties at the outset that unless the amendment proposed accomplishes the end desired it will be recommended that absolute prohibition be placed upon the exposure of such foodstuffs for sale in the public streets and other places named above. "I respectfully recommend that this- reg ulation be submitted to the corporation counsel for examination as to Its validity and as to the correctnois of its form, and that if he reports It as being valid and in proper form it be duly promulgated by the Commissioners."

Every woman seems to cherish the kitchen as a center of h<?pc in our ideal homes. W e have responded generously in this direc t;on and will gently hint that there are ideas being incorporated in these kitchens that will astonish even some of the cleverest women. The culinarv department does not contain all of the pleasant features of our homes. We contrived to divert interest into other rooms with such success as will prove a revelation to our friends. W e always knew there were ideas somewhere that would make a home a charming place. It's very gratifying to be right. The women of W ashington did know what constituted an ideal home and we are ready to prove it. We are also ready to prove to the \\ ashington man that it is the rent he pays which builds up his landlord's fortune and makes him a leading citizen in the community, at the tenant's expense. He gets it honestly, but easily; far easier than the tenant earns it to pay him. The house rents in Washington are responsible for keeping the salaried man from providing for his future. We have mastered every poiiit in this question, and we expect to create such an in terest in this vital matter of ownership against renting as not only to hold the attention of every house renter, but to cause him to in vestigate and thus substantiate every statement we have made re garding it.
