tive Cleanup Committee.

Reporting Nuisances.
CHOOSING REFUSE DUMPS
DR.. Murray Selecting Places Where
Rubbish May Be Disposed of
During Crusade.

Preparations for the city cleaning week
to be observed April 10 to %, yesterday
were commenced III earnest in the office
of the health department of the District
government. DR.. William g. Woodward
health officer, who has been elected chair
man of the city cleaning week executive
committee, and DR.. Arthur L. Murray.
also of the department, who has been
made secretary of the committee. both
spent busy day planning for the first
meeting of the committee. which will be
held Tuesday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock
In the boardroom of the municipal build
ing.
Notices concerning the meeting were
sent out from the department last night.
The executive committee is composed of
twenty members, consisting of representa-
tives of citizens associations in various
sections of the city and of a number of
civic bodies. If the committee, at Tues
days meeting, succeeds in completing a
plan of action for the campaign, an
early meeting Of the central committee.
of which Arthur C. Moses is chairman,
will be called for the purpose of consider
ing the plan to be presented. In any
event, 1t is expected that arrangements
Will have been completed so that a
meeting OF the central committee can be
held by the middle or latter part of next
week.
Preparing Instructions.
DR.. Woodward now is at work on a set
OF instructions for the guidance of citi-
zens in reporting nuisances, collecting
refuse and arranging for it's disposition.
These instructions, If approved by the
executive committee. will be submitted
to the central committee for final action.
TO conduct city cleaning week properly
means that certain practical problems
connected with the undertaking. first must
be worked out, and DR.. Woodward is at
tempting to discover what appears to be
the satisfactory solution Of number of
these problems prior to the meeting of
the executive committee.
A considerable portion of DR.. Murray s
work yesterday was taken up in the prep
aration Of a list Of places in the city
where refuse may be dumped, and Of the
OF carting away refuse and rubbish of all
kinds. Both lists are to be published for
the convenience of citizens who may be
willing to provide the expense Of the
hauling away Of rubbish from, their own
premises.
DR.. Murray found that there are two
dumping places which are privately
owned. and he will endeavor the first of
the week to obtain the consent of the
owners of these places to put them at
the disposal Of citizens who take part in
the cleanup campaign. The privately
owned dumps are at 18th street and Ben
ming road and in Anacostia, immediately
beyond Anacostia bridge. The three pub
lie dumps are at 18th and NJ streets
northeast, in the rear of Congressional
cemetery and on Potomac avenue be-
tween LIST street and James Creek canal.

Campaign Is Praised.

The Catholic Monthly. published the
first Sunday of each month under the
auspices Of the Holy Name Society Of
st. Martins Church. praises The Stars
city cleaning" campaign in the April
issue. out last night. and urges all
good citizens of the District of Co
lumbia to join it. The editorial, en-
titled "A Health Crusade" follows:
The Washington Stars project for
a week of city cleaning, to commence
Monday, April Is. is one which should
receive the hearty support of all good
citizens of the District Of Columbia.
Particularly should 1t be ENCOURAGED by
those who are in a position to influence
others. as. for example, the pastors of
Washington churches. The power of
the press Is a great factor either for
good or for evil, and when this power
is exercised by a city newspaper to
initiate so laudable an undertaking as
the present, which may result in An
incalculable saving of life by prevent
ing the spread Of disease, we should
not be slow to express our APPROVAL
Those in charge of The Stars cam
paign for a clean city may feel as
sured that in this. as In all other
movements for the general welfare
the large Catholic population of wash !.
ington will not be found wanting"

Commissioners Pleased.

The District Commissioners, who presid-
ed over Fridays initial meeting of the
central committee, yesterday expressed
qualification over the large attendance at
the meeting and the enthusiasm mani
tested. In tha.opinion of the Commits
sioners. the citizens associations and
civic bodies that have gone into the cam
paign have done SO with the object OF
making success Of it, and the co-opera-
ton that is promised should be sufficient
to make Washington the cleanest city in
America by the time the crusade closes,
April ~.
At Fridays session of the committee
Dr. Woodward was authorized to instruct
the eighty-odd delegates composing the
committee to appoint ten or moro assist
ants to execute the plans that may be
devised for conducting the cleanup cam
paign. 1t is not likely that any action
will be taken in this direction until after
the meeting of the executive committee
Tuesday. and possibly not until the CEN
trail committee again convenes.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR.. 7. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
BEST DIET FOR YOUNG Chill.
DREN.

"a chiId's disposition Is de-
pendent" says Miss Helen
Smith, authority on domestic
science, "more upon the food it
eats than upon rules of conduct.
The mother who wishes her
child to have a sunny DISPOSE
tion must exercise great care in
the quantity, quality and variety
of the food. Show me a surIy
boy and will show you one
badly fed" This agrees with the
dictum of Bishop FaIIows, "You
can make boy good or bad &C
cording to the way you feed
him." After weaving would
feed a child for a year on milk
and bananas, milk and unpol-
ishsd rice with raIsins only. No
table drinks, flesh or condiments
should be allowed. After the
second year, bananas and cream
with a glass OF prepared butter
milk sweetened with maple
sugar or moIasses for breakfast,
soaked and simmered entire
wheat grain, with few slices of
bread, dried, not less than twen-
ty-four hours old, or rice with
cream, for dinner, and prunes or
figs or dates for supper In
stead of the commercial andy,
two to four ounces of maple
sugar should be allowed. Such
a diet will be perfectly salts
factory to any properly bred
boy, If he does not get the I'M
preston that he Is being cheat
ed out of coffee or tobacco or
pie or cake that his eIdSrs use.
In due time he will have no de-
sire for any of these things.
