sicians said that the child contracted
diphtheria because of the filthy cOndi
ton of the streets and alleys in the
neighborhOod.
From that time Mrs. Paul has been
tireless in her efforts to obtain proper
sanitation for the heart of the city. Be-
coming a member of the Civic fedora
ton, she began an agitation against the
bad disposition of garbage in the alleys
on the North Side. She made personal
inspection of the work and became the
terror of careless citizens, negligent
drivers and corrupt contractors. When
ever she discovered violation of the
garbage ordinances, she did not rest I'M
til she had caused somebody to be ar
rested. 1t was not long before the results
of her crusade began to be felt and the
people of the North Side hardly recog-
nized their own back alleys.
Then Mrs Paul took up the subject
of street cleaning. She went at this
work with the same vigor and deter
mined to become an employee of the de-
partment Last summer, in order to
thoroughly equip herself for the work,
she visited New York, Philadelphia;
Baltimore and other large cities for the
purpose of inspecting their street clean-
ing and garbage removal systems
1t seems strange, doesn't it, to think of
a woman poking around on the wharfs
where the dumping scows are being
loaded with the city's refuse? But if
you knew Mrs. Paul you would not
marvel that she did it if she took it into
her head. She has a strong character
and a strong will. She is not the sort of
woman to be made i'll or faint by an
you look at her that she is a woman
who would do what she thought was
her duty, however disagreeable it might
be.
When Mrs. Paul returned to Chicago
from her tour, she prepared an article
which she read to the Civic federation.
A copy of the address was submitted to
the commissioner of public works. Then
she took the civil service examination
for superintendent of street cleaning
and passed with such a high average
that Mayor Harrison was induced to put
her in charge of the down town district,
one of the most important in the city
Now Mrs. Paul has charge of % men,
and she is keeping the down town
streets of Chicago cleaner than they
have been for years. Like Colonel War
ing, New York's great street cleaner,
she has introduced military methods in
handling her little army of sweepers.
Bright and early every morning Mrs.
Paul marshals them in front of their
headquarters. With the precision of sol
diers they shoulder their brooms and
march off when she gives the word.
All day long she keeps her eye on
them. She has horse and carriage and
the street cleaners have to keep busy,
for they do not know at what moment
Mrs. Paul may swoop down upon them.
They know that their work must be
done thoroughly, too for if it is not
they are sure to hear from her. Later on,
when Chicago increases the street clean
ing appropriation, Mrs Paul is to have
a larger force and her men are to be
put in some kind of uniform
