the fiber of the rubber with it and

Poet Cleaned UP Houston, Tex. and Now
He's Sent Abroad as Municipal Scout

Five years ago a poet--a real
Neutrality-suspicious. poet, not
one of the spring variety--drop-
lped off the train at Houston,
Tex. And Houston sat up and
took notice. But 1t wasn't the
rhapsody of immortal epic that
struck Houston, Tex, SO siren
uously;' ah, hear me, no! 1t was
the rhythm and meter with which
Frank Putnam worked that at
tracted Houstonians.
First, Poet Putnam smelled the
garbage cans ornamenting the
streets. A poets olfactory feel
ings are easily touched by gar
bage can.
"Jake those unsightly, un-
healthy cans away!" yelled Poet
Putnam louder and louder
through the columns of his news
paper until they did take the
cans off the streets.
/. You mustn't use the bull whip
on convicts!" sang the poet And
the bull whip was canned.
Then he pitched on Joe Bailey.
Texas thought that Bailey was the
lastword in craftsmanship; Put
nam had different idea; Texas
has too, now.
From garbage cans, bull whips
and Joe Bailey, Poet Putnam
went on to sewers and paving;
better lights and better schools;
more parks and pure water. With

the other prose, always keeping
on harping away until Houston,
Tex, is now one of the most pro-
gressive municipalities in the
great southwest. Also, it's one of
the healthiest for the common
people.
Now Houston, Tex, has COM
missioned Poet Putnam as "muni-
cipal scout" paying his expenses
on tour of investigation through
Europe, where he expects to get
his eyes full and his ears full of
the things Houston, Tex, and
other American cities can do to
make life more worth the living.

HOW TO CARE FOR
YOUR SILK UMBRELLA

A SILK umbrella seldom receives the
proper care, and consequently Is

natural wood handle. although silver,
gold. ivory. Dresden china. etc, are all
used. A. steel frame is lighter to carry
and admits Of a closer roll. When carry

use, keep 1t furled; II hanging in your
closet keep its case on. In fact. 1t pre-
sents very neat appearance IL the case
1s on when 1t Is carried. To furl, grasp
the stick in the right hand, shake out
the folds. wrap them closely around the
stick, beginning at the lower end, and

stick, then fasten with the silk band and
slip on the silk cover.

off the handle and ferrule and furl the
silk sections. II the silk gets a spot on
1t. remove 1t with silk rag, warm water
and soap. Clean a gold or silver handle
with whiting, wash a china handle in
warm soap suds. rub up wooden handle
with very slightly oily rag.
A good way to mend a silk umbrella is
to wet a piece Of black court plaster and
fasten 1t to the silk just under the tear
and let it dry. 1t is a much more salts
factory procedure than darning. 1t closes
the hole and there are no stitches
showing.
