izaton In the city Is invited to help

tails, including the date and amount
of awards. The Commercial Club and
Civic Improvement League have been
especially asked TO cooperate with

when the committee meets II will out
line plan dividing the city into four
districts for the day. March 81 and
April are the dates under contem-
platlon for the clean up.
When the Mothers Congress was
first organized II was the intention OF
the club to toin with the teachers and
thereby assist in the bringing up OF
that portion Of Young America loca-
ted in Tulsa, u S. A. However,
since the organization OF the Con-
gress, several other kinds OF work
have been taken up. The latest line
of work Is the clean up"

accompanied by the city commission,
made an extended tour yesterday ev-
enlng, taking In every portion of the
fire limits. For some time the build
Ing Inspector and the city commits
sioners have been considering the adj
visibility of changing parts Of the
fire limits The trip yesterday evening
was made for the benefit of those Of
the commission, who were not faml-

tricts, The line along the north side
of the fire limits, which is now East
Archer may be moved The limit
may also be moved on South Boulder.
At some meeting in the near future
the commissioners will take up the
matter, and in all probability a more

If the fire limit boundaries are cur

the commission will probably give
special permits to erect buildings in
the territory adjacent to the danger
