neighborhoods She would like to have
such ladies communicate with her and
will render them such assistance as is
possible In carrying out the aim of the
Twentieth Century Club.
Even the busy merchants of the city
have been asked to use extra endeavor
to see that their own premises and sur

that extent, at least.

to make Washington an absolutely clean
city. tomorrow at least and hereafter to
it should always be kept so.
In their work the ladies of the Twen-
tieth Century Club are careful to i'm
press upon the minds of those with whom
they come in contact that they do not
wish to convey the false impression that
Washington is really dirty city. but
they are specially laboring now to guard
against the littering of the streets, side
walks. parking and parks with flying
papers lunch bags. circulars and scraps
of paper and rags.
