IN MUNICIPAL AFF5JKs.
Good City Government Likenod TO Good
Housekeeping.

Mrs. Mary Z. Mumford. Of Philadelphia,
lectured recently before the Woman's
Health Protective Association of Brooklyn
on The Relation of Woman to Municipal
Affairs"
The meeting was held in the Memorial
Hall Of the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION, at Flatbush avenue and Seher-
merhorn street. The hall was crowded
with women interested in the objects OF
the association and anxious TO hear what
the Philadelphia had TO say. The lecture
was the same which Mrs. Mumford de-
livered before the recent Municipal Con-
gress in Philadelphia.
1.-The weakness underlying public admin
istration," Mrs. Mumford said, sis the
lack of business men. who cannot permit
the public service 10 interfere with their
private affairs. The first requisite In a
modern legislator is leisure 10 study public
affairs and acQuant himself with NUM-
cipal and State needs. The only class
that to-day can command this leisure is
the women Of our households.
while the ordinary housekeeper is still
Obliged to attend TO domestic matters. she
still many find time which she can devote
10 matters outside of the home.
Mrs Potter Palmer said. 1892 discov-
cred Columbus. and 1892 discovered wo-
man Woman discovered herself. and she
has renewed confidence in her ability.
With leisure on hand. is there anything
which should lead her to take a special
interest in American government? There
is. What Is a city but large house In
which we all live together? Good city gov
ernment is good housekeeping.
1.-The STRENGTHENING Department ought
10 have an ally in every housekeeDer.
Every distric. ought 10 have woman
supervisor, who should see that the streets
are not Uttered with paper and fruit
skins. | am well aware that this is the
function Of policemen. but as they are
men they have no special fitness for the

Mrs Mumford reviewed the work Of
the New York Womans Health Protec-
tive Association. and praised the results

1.-The ability shown here she said,
SHOULD be kept UP and always MAIN
tanned for the city's good.
"Women should have larger share In
the work of public education. Mothers
are natural educators. and no reasonable
person will controvert this position. But

There is a remarkable sand dune near
the lighthouse at CAPE Henry. at the
mouth OF Chesapeake Bay. The sand
from the beach has been piled up nearly
200 feet at any easy slope on the ocean
side. but on the inland side It descends
in an almost sheer precipice and particles
OF sand blown up the slope fall over the
edge and are spread far and wide by the
wind. 1t is supposed that the precipice-
like popularity of the mound is due TO
the action OF conflicting wind currents
that blow about the cape.
