The area of all the paved streets out
side of the hand patrol section, amount
ing TO about 100000 square yards, Is
cleaned about three times each week by
the use of sweepers. sprinklers and squee-
gee machines. The unimproved streets Of
the city. located principally in the sub
urbs, are sprinkled in an effort to prevent
the dust from rising in clouds. Some
sixty or seventy miles OF these streets
are treated In this manner.
The fall of the year Is. perhaps, the
most difficult season in which to keep the
streets clean. The "City Beautiful" must
pay In hard work for its long rows Of
green shade trees, for as the leaves turn
brown and drop to the ground. the street
cleaning department must make a con-
tlnuous effort to remove them. Until re-
Gently they were removed by the regular
sweeping gangs. but in 1909. however, an
extra machine sweeping gang was put to
work in September to operate until after
the middle of November.
This enabled the removing Of the leaves
every day from certain sections of the
city where their fall was heaviest for the
first time in the history of the city. Last
fall the same procedure was adopted.
This fall the work will. perhaps, be car
ried on in the same way, but directly
under the District and not by contract,
as in preceding years. The piles Of dry
leaves become a source of temptation for
children to play with fire and q prompt
removal lessons the danger from this
source.
Congress in its appropriations for the
Districts expenses for the year ending
June 80. 1912. provided $4,000 available
for equipment to be used in cleaning the
streets BY the beginning OF this past
July a considerable portion of this amount
had been spent to purchase the various
machines necessary and the work began
under the new regulations. Under the
new method Of work II Is expected that
portion OF the contractors profit will
be saved. and the efficiency and extent
increased.

gathered up by the street cleaning force.
Conditions vary in the different parts
of the District and several kinds of ma
chimes are necessary for cleaning. Many
of the streets that were formerly paved
with cobblestones have in late years been
repaved with asphalt. thus making them
easier to keep clean as we'll as better for
travel. But the streets that are still
paved in this same more or less crude
style are cleaned with machines particu-
larry adapted to that purpose. Large
flushing machines drawn by horses go
over these districts three times a week.
The water is sent from tank in the ma
chine with such force that the dirt is
washed from the streets to the cutters,
where it is gathered by the hand patrol
force.
To Washingtonians the street sweepers
in their white suits and with their small
carts are familiar sight. These white

day cleaning the streets In the center of
the city. In addition to this hand patrol

day this area, amounting to zoos, COO
square yards, or about twenty-five times
the area of the Avenue from the Treas

cleaned by the white wings.

SELECTION Of SECRETARY FOR
GARY Y. N. C. A. SOON TO CONE

The selection of a general secretary
for the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton of Gary and the operation of its
100000 building on Fifth avenue is
now matter of only "a few weeks ac-
cording to members of the board of di-
rectors of that institution who have
been working as committee in secur-
ing advices concerning a dozen promi-s
nent association secretaries through
out the United States. Information in
detail and in considerable quantity has
been gathered from direct sources rel
alive to the ability and achievements
of the list of men to select from and
this will be submitted to the board of
directors and trustees at an early date
for a final selection
President A. B. Keller stated today
that no definite action would be taken
by the committee appointed by former
President Writ to investigate available
general secretaries, because the COM
mittee prefers to leave the final selec-
ton to the entire board of directors.
The names now in the hands of the
committee will be submitted to the en-
tire body of local officials together
with all data collected, and the selec-
ton will be the consensus of opinion
of twelve directors and five trustees.
Realizing that the selection of a
competent general secretary for the big
field in Gary was one of utmost impor-
lance to the welfare of the institution
and its future the committee of di-
rectors has spent three months this
winter in carrying on a careful cam
paign of investigation, extending from
the middle west to New England and
from the great lakes to the gulf. Dur
ing the progress of its efforts either
the committee or men who are closely
identified with the work in Gary have
come into close. personal contact with
some of the brightest minds engaged
in association work. In its endeavors
to secure for the Cary institution one
of the best men available in the United
States the search has brought the COM
mittee into relations with many promi-
nent workers. several of whom, it is
said. are available for this field.
In it's efforts to locate men who can
successfully carry on the operations of
the local ass ociation the committee has
