those interested in the city beautiful bright Birmingham girl said yesterday: While the question of keeping clean, orderly city is being agitated, I don't think it would be at all out of place to bring up a subject that is giving house. keepers in our neighborhood no little noyance. I refer to the endless series Of circulars, posters, pamphlets and book lets that are thrown daily in the yards or on the porches. I live in a popular thoroughfare and 1t may be that our home receives more than the customary share of this rubbish, but I know that it takes almost the entire time of one person to keep the trash picked up. You know there is nothing so unkempt and untidy as piece of paper wandering hither and yon as tne breezes choose to take it, and to have them sailing up the public streets and about the houses and yards of our homes gives the city a very bad appear ance. There is a vacant house next to these things and we finally get our share of them in addition to our own."
 It is just such things as this that the block improvement societies propose to take up. Anything that will improve the appearance of the city or the health or happiness of it's people will command the attention of the societies.
