"CLEAN-UP DAY"

Among the new laws which Will take
effect September is one making IT mis-
demeanor to put advertising signs Of any
nature within the limits Of public high
way, and any person is authorized 10
take down or destroy signs which violate
the statute Accordingly, the good roads
committee Of the Automobile Club OF
America has organized a campaign
against this brand Of advertising and
the fifty clubs Of the state Will conduct
local "clean-ups" of the disfguring sign
boards and placards and so far as they
can free the roads Of these eyesores.
Advertising men are divided as to the
merits. from their point of view, of out
door displays of this character. From
tie public point Of view there can be no
difference of opinion. 1t is impossible
II drive along q road naturally beauti-
full or even to view the country from a
railroad train without having the sight
offended and the sense Of proprtety out
ragged by 1aring signboards, grotesque
placards or advertisements painted on
rocks or buildings. Schemes for taxing
this outdoor advertising, as is done TO
some extent in Europe, have never got
very far in this state The individual
who rents his buildings or his land for
such q purpose is within his rights,
though he lend himself to the infection
Of q considerable nuisance on the COM
nunity at large. The advertiser who
puts his signboards along the public
highway or nails his placards TO trees
or paints his notices on roadside rocks
will fall within the prohibition Of this
rev law. New York is spending more
money in building and maintaining good
roads than any other state In the Union.
Many Of these highways have well been
termed scenic boulevards." 1t is to the
interest Of every citizen to preserve this
beauty free from blemish. Cleanup

THE GREAT INERRANT.

There are probably a good many per
sons who think deep down in their
hearts that whatever they do is right
and that everybody who differs with
them is wrong. But most such ego wor-
shippers conceal their conviction, having
enough sagacity TO realize that undue
exhibition of an exaggerated ego Is al
ways unpopular and likely TO bring the
exhibitor into public contempt Occa-
sioDally there comes along a superman
with 10 petty human faiings like eau
tiOn and mOdesty, who eagerly proclaims
TO the world his infallibility and liner
rancy.
The United States Senate boasts
among its members one who not only IS
satisfied that he never errs, but does not
hesitate TO proclaim that conviction from
the houset0ps. Last week, when the
Senate was considering the compromise

Arizona and New Mexico. drawn 10 meet

portion Of the body as high as the neck
The blanket must then be folded tightly
over, so as to exclude the external air, and
then covered by two other blankets or n
small feather bed. This process must be
repeated every time the patient becomes
restless or uncomfortable. and until the
dry, hot skin has become softer and more
prone to persplration and the feyer entirely
subsidized, even should It's repetition be nee
essary every ten minutes, or should tho
fever continue undated for twenty-four

moved A similar bandage should likewise
be folded once around the stomach, care
