CLEAN UP CRUSADE OPENS IN CAPITAL (Continued From Fourth Page.) preached by every citizen on Monday," declared Rev. James S. Montgomery, pas tor of the Metropolitan Memorial M. E. Church. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, colored, preached a sermon on the topic: "A Clean City Crusade?Why and How." Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, colored, de clared to his congregation that "A clean city will be a healthy city." Other ministers in churches also sound ed the slogan of cleanliness, all of them ursine that members of their churches not only should actively take part in the ureal civic .campaign, but that all should endeavor to secure co-operation by their neighbors in the communities in which they live. Lesson From Biblical Story. Rev. John Van Schaick, jr., spoke di rectly to the topic: "The Cleaning I'p of a City," and he drew a lesson from the Biblical ?tory of the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. "There was no appropriation then available," he said, "but the people had a mind to work. That is the big thins in any community project. A way will be found when the people have a mind. "The campaign for 'a clean Washing ton' has been waged with this in view. It ha? been a campaign of education. The one fatal weakness In all schemes of municipal government is failure of the l^esple to feel and take responsibility. . In, a way a municipal government has to be paternal. It has to do things for us. There are too many of us. for each man to clean the streets, cart off the ashes and dispose of the sewage. In well gov erned communities these and many other matters are under the control of the gov ernment. But It is a short-sighted, blundering administration which does not l\?.-?-p clearly before the people their share of the responsibility. "No street cleaning force can keep the streets decent if a majority of the people feel free to litter the streets as they choose. No alley gang of cleaners can be efficient if the householders will not co operate. We, the people who use the streets, must come to feel that they are our streets. We need to sense the boor lshness. uncleanness and discourtesy of scattering refuse on our streets just as much as scattering it on our csypets. We need to feel that we ought to help clean up streets and alleys not only on one day or one week of the year, but all days and all weeks. That does not mean that we need to do the work of paid municipal employes^ but it does mean that we need to co-operate and give them half a chance. Many Are Thoughtless. "Nothing illustrates better the thought lessness of many good people than a snowstorm. They will clean the walks the way they have to go, but the side walk they themselves do not use goes uncle&ned. In may be selfishness with Dime, but it Is pure ignorance and thoughtlessness with others. They d"n*t sense the fact that they live in a community, and that they owe some thing to a community more than taxes. "Who said it first I do not know, but it is true that some people are afflicted with a form of astigmatism, because of which they can see nothing closer than 3.000 miles. Reform appeals to them, bat it's reform in Borneo. Education is their shibboleth, but it's education of the Turks. Social service is the call of the hour, but It Is the service of the black or the brown or the red or the yellow men beyond the seas. "No one who knows "Bleak House" can ever forget Mrs. Jellyby and her plans for Bolrisboola-Gha, her Immense cor respondence about Africa and the dirt and neglect In her own home. Dickens calls hers 'telescopic philanthropy.' "No more than other churches would FOES OF DIRT BEGIN BIG BATTLE VOLUNTEER WORKERS PLANNING THE DAY'S WORK. INSPECTOR MAKING NOTES. SCHOOL CHILDREN TURNING IN "CLEAN-UP" CARDS. we limit our sympathy and help to our own country, but no more would we limit our attention to that which Is far away. "In this cleaning up campaign, we see some of the opportunities at hand. There Is such a thing as Individual responsibil ity. Every man muBt look out for his own. If every man would look after his own doorstep the rest would be easy. There is neignbood responsibility. Not all men in a neighborhood will take interest. Therefore, some of us must be custodians of the neighborhood. There Is such a thing as community responsibility. Some must be broad enough to think of all. "No opportunity for service is greater than that with the children. It Is as easy to teach a child to be a street cleaner as to be a vandal. When a mother says to a six-year-old, 'Go throw it in the street when no one is lookins, or drop it in the alley,' she is saying unconsciously, "The streets are not yours to take care of. They belong to some outside, far-away power called the public.' When a moth er lets- a child break down the bushes or the flowers in our little parks, she is mak ing of that child a vandal. She Is miss ing her chance to Inculcate some of the noblest and best of lessons?the possibility of possessing without owning, of enjoying without destroying , of taking more pleasure in a crocus blooming on a sunny bank than in a crocus dying in the hand. When a parent or a teacher makes no efTort to keep children from df< ytroying the lawn on the parking or in neighbors' yards, they are missing one of the fundamental lessons in good citi zenship. "Our church lawn is destroyed year after year by school children and chil dren of the neighborhood. And on it lit ter of all kinds Is deposited. If children needed this lawn as a playground I should say let it be destroyed. If they needed the church I should say let them play In the church. Our mission is to serve. But they don't need either. And when It is all fixed up again I shall see that a few lessons In public spirit and community spirit are taught by the of ficers of the law if necessary. Step in Way of Progress. "I don't expect that Washington will be made clean for all time by cleaning-up week, but I do expect some lessons will be inculcated in the minds of some chil dren and some adults. And it is In this way. here a little, and there a little, that progress is made. "The possibilities of co-operation, the possibilities of united action, no one man can estimate. ?Citizens' associations. Daughters of the Revolution, the Moth ers' Congress, the W. C. T. U? the char ities, the churches, the good government clubs, the school children, the news papers, the District officials, all getting together, are bound to stir Washington on any subject. And so far as cleaning up is concerned, dirt and filth, and litter, and rubbish will be removed, but with them an infinitely greater thing will be removed in some minds?Indifference to dirt, in Washington'. Pride in our city, its looks and its. health, would mean a model revolution in some lines. "The old saying Is that cleanliness is next to godliness. It is more than that. Cleanliness is a part of Godliness. Health Is divine. Beauty Is religious. "Churches which can't co-operate know nothing of a Master who said, Be thou clean. "Ministers who are too good to wield a broom are too good for nature's dally food. "With Jesus there was sanctlflcatlon and service. With us there must be ?faith and works." Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcllffe, in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, urged that Washingtonians take a deep interest In the effort of this week to make Wash ington a cleaner city. He said he rarely made an announcement of a similar char acter from the pulpit, but that in this In stance he believed that the movement at hand should have the support of all resi dents who have the best Interest of the city at heart. Great benefit, it was declared, is bound to be derived from the movement, the pastor pointing out that there are doubt less many spots in various parts of the city which are shielded by location from the public gaze, and which are in need of just such a cleaning as is planned. Importance of Sanitation, x "Washington should be clean physically as well as morally," declared Rev. Hugh T. Stephenson at the morning service In Bethany Baptist Church, when he urged the worshipers to give their support to the city cleaning movement He was preaching on "The Church's Commis sion," and spoke of Christ as the great physician to the body, as well as the soul, who required in His teachings that men should live up to the sanitary as well as the moral law. "Man has no right to allow fifth to ac cumulate on his property which may lead to the physical undoing of his neigh bor," said Rev. iMr. Stevenson, "and this city-cleaning movement should have the support of all good people." He also said that man should be clean from the standpoint of sanitation, as well as salvation. Rev. Wilbur V. Mallalieu, pastor of the Union Methodist episcopal Church, and member of the executive committee of the clean city crusade, said at the church yesterday morning: "Washington is a beautiful city, barring some blotches. Washington will never be the beautiful or the healthy city it ought to be as the nation's capital unless it shall be con spicuously a clean city. 'Cleanliness Is next to godliness' is a saying attributed to the founder of Methodism. That be ing true, it is certainly fitting that the people of this church give the heartiest co-operation to the clean city crusade, which begins this week. The Star is to be particularly commended for Its enter prise la this campaign." A strong appeal to civic pride In the1 movement to clean up the city was made by Rev. Charles Wood, at the morning service of the Church of the Covenant. He asked the aid of all to do what they could to encourage and help along the effort being made to Improve conditions in the alleys and streets of the city. ?' 'The Gospel of the Back Yard" ought to be the subject of the sermon actu ally preached by every citizen Mon day," asserted Rev. James S. Mont gomery in the Metropolitan Memorial M. E. Church. "The man who prays on his knees today and keeps an in sanitary backyard, preys on his neigh bors seven days a week. 'Lack of sanitation in our midst is a positive ? crime. The preacher or layman may have his shop window filled with all . the latest novelties of religious teach ing. yet If he has no fist to smite this : evil it Is like sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. t ? ? "There are movements headed by ? aipostles of vague sentiment which reach no practical results. Rising votes don't do the business. Confer ences alone don't do the jobs. These are usually followed by inaction and forgetfulness. Something is now made definite. Public sentiment created largely by our newspapers is now crys tallized. ? This is a civic opportunity? now let us do something. "To the back yard Monday?make that pulpit and pew. Cleanse these arteries of poison and scrofula, in response to an awakened and an aroused public senti ment. He who ignores this call Is not only guilty of gross negligence, but is an unworthy citizen." Duty of Householders. Rev. Joseph M. M. Gray, at Hamllne M. E. Church, called the attention of the members of his congregation to the city clean-up campaign, and urged every householder to take part In it. Rev. Mr. Gray said that every citizen owed It to the city, as a matter of civic pride, as well as for obvious sanitary reasons, to help In the work of cleaning up the city and keeping it clean. Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of Temple Bap tist Church, took up the subject of the "clean city campaign" prior to his ser mon. He urged the co-operation of his auditors with the movement. "I regret exceedingly that wo have to have a cleaning up every year, but since it seems to be a necessity let us unite in our efforts to make the city clean In every respect." Rev. Dr. W. R. Wedderspoon, at the conclusion of hiB sermon yesterday morn ing at the Foundry M. E. Church, heart ily indorsed the city cleaning inaugurat ed by The Star, and urged his congrega tion to do its share toward making the campaign far-reaching. He appealed to each member to do his individual share In keeping his yard, or his adjoining vacant lot, or street frontage, clean and in a sanitary condi tion, and called attention to the diseases caused by Insanitary conditions in many sections of the city. Calls Streets a Disgrace. Rev. Joseph F. McGee, in a sermon yesterday morning at the Shrine?of the Sacred Heart (Catholic) Church, strongly indorsed' city cleaning week, and made a vigorous appeal to the residents of Washington to make the National Capi tal a cleaner and more sightly city. He declared that civic pride alone should teach each resident of Washington to act as a "committee of one" to see that his own street front or neighborhood is kept clean. "Each resident of Washington," he declared, "should take personal pride in the appearance of the National Capital, and unite in making it the most beauti ful, if not the most sanitary, city in the country- If a person will, from time to time, remember that he has a share in the "cleaning up," it would take very lit tle time and very little trouble. Visitors to the city. Dr. Wedderspoon said, cannot fail to notice the unsightly conditions which certainly should not pre vail in the capital of the country. Not only are the city streets in many sections of the city a disgrace to the community, Father McGee said, but peo ple carelessly throw paper and other refuse Into the streets and lots without hesitation. He declared that it was the intention of the planners of the city to make Wash ington the most beautiful of capital cities, while contractors and builders today are trying to defeat this end toy the thought less way they construct buildings In many of the suburban districts of the city. Little thought is given to the archi tectural effect of houses, he declared, and in many parts of the city houses and other buildings are so near the sidewalk that the whole effect of the street Is spoiled. In numerous cases, he said, such buildings are constructed right up to the limit .of the building line &n4 not on a line with other constructions in the same block. "By thoughtfulness and personal pride In Washington its residents can do much toward making Washington a more ?beautiful city," he said. "Let every one remember that the- streets and the vacant lots and even the back yards are not the proper place for the indiscriminate throw ing of waste." Effect of Christ's Coming. Speaking before his congregation In Shiloh Baptist Church, colored, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, the pastor, asserted that "wherever practical Christianity is taught and practiced there you will find clean streets, clean alleys, clean cellars, clean back yards, well lighted streets, pure water, parks, comfortable houses and honest men and women. When Christ comes Into a life there you will have holiness; when Christ comes into a home there heaven begins; when Christ comes into a city the New Jerusalem comes down from God, and clean city crusade begins. . "Why have a clean city crusade? We ans'wer: In order to improve environ ment. Men are seldom better than their surroundings; a filthy city will make a filthy people. "A clean city crusade is a good thing because it tends to break down selfish ness. and sets <people to working for the good of others as well as for their own good; it engenders civic pride and puts more of heaven into Washington. "The man who wants a clean city can do no better than by getting on the Job in his own home, and then get his neigh bor to follow his example. Only be sure that you set before him . an example worth following." , Before the sermon Rev. MriWaldron had the church clerk read to his people the "Instructions to Citizens," concerning the collection and removal of trash and gar bage and refuse, which appeared In Sun day morning's Star, and made an appeal for volunteers to help in the work, es pecially that in the alleys, courts and back < streets. He also urged the mem bers of his congregation who conduct Sunday schools and other religious meet ings in the alleys to bring the "Clean City Crusade" to the attention of the alley people. "Clean City Is Healthy City." In the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, colored. Rev. S. P. W. Drew urged the participation of his congregation in clean-up work. He said: "A clean city will be a healthy city. A clean race will be a healthy race. The prevalence of disease will be lessened by cleanliness. I want to see diseases such as smallpox, tuberculosis and typhoid fever banished from our community, and I believe a clean city will go far toward bringing this about" Method in One Suburb an Example to Others One of Washington's suburbs furnishes an example to larger communities in the way it goes about keeping clean. There is a committee hesded by a man who Is noted for the conscientious wsy he sticks to an undertsking, and when his com mittee sets about to do a thing it is done. This chairman has Just issued his spring manifesto, and it is a model of Its kind. Read what he says: "The flies are now with us, and pres ently the mosquitoes. "It is up to us both individually and collectively to make another effort to stamp out these pests. Our campaign last year was a step toward success, and a continuation of the work will bring nearer the time when we can leave our window and door screens in the attic the whole year round; "Each of us must have a fly trap. Our neighbors look to each one of us to do that much for them. Those of us who had the traps last year can testify to their efficacy. The members of the fly committee will furnish these traps at cost, and will be glad to talk over with any one the proper methods of caring for and handling the traps. Call up the chair man of the committee. Must Abolish Rubbish. "Manure piles, uncovered garbage cans and heaps of decaying matter must be done away with. See that you are not remiss yourself in these matters, and then look for the neglect of your neigh bors. If your neighbor is remiss, have the courage to call his attention to the matter in a charitable spirit. If you need help call up the chairman. "So much for flies. Now for mosquitoes. "Tin cans and like articles in which water can accumulate and stand must be put under cover or deposited at a dis tance at a regularly established dump. Two such are nearby, and there is no objection to their use by our people. No other place should be used for this purpose. "Water can collect and stand in house eaves, and each resident should examine his own property. "Stagnant pools must be oiled. There are probably none on your property. If there Is, you owe it to your neighbors to correct it, as the smallest kind of a stag nant pool will cause considerable hard ship to the neighborhood by breeding mosquitoes. Some Courage Necessary. "If your neighbor has such a pool, call his attention to it. Some courage is necessary, but have it. Be watchful in your walks to locate places where flies and mosquitoes are bred, and call the committee's attention to them. We will do all we can to correct them cm- have them corrected. "Interest the children. Be sure they know where the can dumps are, and be able to recognise a fermenting pile or a stagnant pool. A single bright lad can educate the whole crowd of young ones, and perhaps many of the grown-ups. We can encourage the youngsters by con tributing to their base ball outfits. When giving we can tell tbem that we expect them to assist in these movements. "Don't hesitate to call up the chairman and talk over fly and mosquito matters. It will encourage the committee and might be a source of information con cerning these insects which will help all of us in. our fight. "Attention is Invited to the efforts of the committee last year. Oreater vigi lance must be exercised this year. The committee was in most cases given cordial assistance by the residents. This year the committee is looking for 100 per cent co-operation." GIVING HEAK1Y SUPPORT Cleaning Up in Anacostia and the Southeastern Suburbs. The "clean-up" week inaugurated by The Star was started in earnest In Ana costia and its vicinity today, and fror; present prospects it will do much toward ridding that section of its trash, which has been a hindrance to the proper de velopment of the suburb. Dr. T. D. , Mudd, chairman of the general commit tee, and Charles R. Burr, president of the Anacostia Citizens' Association, will confer today in regard to the appoint ment of ten additional members of the committee to help forward the movement. At Handle Highlands Dr. B. T. Wood ward is in charge, and he has been as sured by a number of cltlsens that they will assist the movement materially by lending wagons to haul away the col lected trash. O. F. N. Madden, chair man of the committee representing the Original Garfield Association, is also in communication with the general commit tee, and will issue instructions to the citi zens of that suburb regarding the best methods to pursue in accomplishing the desired results. livery one has taken hold of the matter. The pastors of the several churches in the southeastern sub urbs yesterday directed attention to tha crusade and urged that all take ad vantage of the opportunity presented. Congress Heights will also do Its share under the direction of W. W. Price, pres ident of the citlsens' association. Woman't v?. Han't Life. From Harper's Bttar. Life has baen sifted, strained, twisted, warped, compressed, prettified, decorated, falsified and expurgated for me. This keeps me a humble listener to men's con versation. I am always trying to eke out my scanty meal at life's table with tha crumbs from theirs. For. considered from one point of view, the dullest man who ever lived Is more Interesting than tha most brilliant woman. What ha knows he knows. What she knows she guesses. All women are Helen Kellars?modified. I have never adjusted myself to this In justice. I eavesdrop shamelessly la pub lic conveyances to the man-talk about me. It Is a matter for genuine heartbreak with me that I cannot frequent the smok ing rooms of trains and steamers. How I envy man his ample, unquestioned so cial freedom, his privilege of social Initia tive, his spiritual privacy, his 90 per cant of laughter on the humor of existence, his crisp, racy, expressive vocabulary. Occasionally I get a brief sip of what dally the average man quaffs in huge bumpers?and how sparkling and Intoxi cating It seems. Land of Gardens. Ellas Bahama* Scidmore, la the Century. In Japan every one loves gardens, knows gardens and makes gardens. The chil dren amuse themselves with toy gardens Instead of mud pies, and model relief maps in the sands of school playgrounds. In the recent wars the soldiers, after lone marches, amused themselves by making little home landscapes before their tents. In more remote times emperors and sho guns abdicated and joined or established monasteries In Kioto, that they might tha better meditate upon the eternal truths, and enjoy gardens of their own designing. Priests, nobles and court ladles all ob served the conventions and practiced tha rules of landscape art. Of the making of gardens and Illus trated garden books there was literally no end in the leisured centuries before the restoration. -J >*M l*ir" '?
