EAGERLY AWAIT THE OPENINGS.
Feminine Americas VIII Be Abroad
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
That occsaiop, dearest of all to the
feminine heart-the millinery open
ing-is at hand, and the fond dream
of sleepless nights and never-ending
days is about to be realized. Tomor-
row is the day, and ere the breakfast
dishes are cleared away, and with no
thought of the midday meal 'mom-
mer' will be up and doing, ere some
other woman arrives at the goal ahead
of her. For once all else is relegated
to oblivion and naught but visions of
double-decked, turret shaped, spin
maker boom and triple expansion
spring bonnet. with the Easter stamp
upon it, fits before her enrap-
tured gaze. The patient family OK,
the man behind the hash prob
lem, may breakfast upon crack
er, dine on Muckalee lithia and
sup on the hope of the hereafter, but
this is her day, and she will revel in it
to the utmost and find sweet solace
in the display in Dame Fashions
realm. But she can scarcely be blam-
ed, for this particular Opening" with
Its wealth of gorgeous pattern hats,
spring flowers and sundry other adorn-
ments whereby the female form divine
is made diYiner, is going to be the
most elaborate and complete eyer wit
messed in Amerlcus. Fashions vo-
tarles will attend, and the Easter par
ade next Sunday will make a Mardi

Clean Up the City Before Hot Wealth
er Arrives.

The resolution introduced in council
at the recent meeting, relatiYs be
enforcement of ordinances aLst og
nuisances detrimental to public heath,
was timely and should be adopted.
Americas has a fine and costly sanitary
sewerage system, and there is no ex
cuse for the surface closet, in the heart
of the city, where dozens OF them ere
still to be found. The health of the
community demands the abatement of
such nuisances, and property owners
have cause of action for damages
where they are permitted to exist.
There is every indication of an early
summer. and these cesspools, along
with the pigpen, should be removed
before the warm season comes en-.
The board of health, backed by the
city council, should order an early and
thorough cleaning of premises.

ARE WANDERING IN DARKNESS.
Strangers are Still Unable to Find
Their Way.

ItGu way
While every street in Americas has
a name, of course, it is only the old
citizen who can properly locate them
as there is nothing In evidence by
which stranger might be guided.
Even in the business district there is
not street sign whereby one may find
his way, while the same is deplorably
true of the residence streets. Some
time ago the city council decided to
have the names of the streets affixed to
buildings, or otherwise displayed, as
is done in all cities, but there the mat
ter ended. Chairman Sherlock, of the
street committee, secured samples of
lettered signs and exhibited them at
the last meeting of the council, but no
action was taken in the way of making
purchase. This is an important mat
ter and one which should receive ca ly
consideration.
