 "Or a brother?'

that 1t IN possible to appeal successfully
to the pride Of every householder. how
ever humble in circumstances. Given the
thought that trash and dirt are disgrace
full and dangerous. 1t Is not difficult to
start in motion the forces of reformation.
The difficulty Is to keep things moving
week after week. and month after month,
to make cleanliness habitual. The pic
lures which The Star is showing are not
presented to discredit any one. but to
show that there are many places far be-
low the standard. The Star wants every
house yard in the District to be at least
as clean as the one that has just been
shown, after treatment. It hopes that
every one will eventually be transformed
into a garden. One sprig Of lilac bush. or
one trailing stem of convolvulus. or one
square yard Of well kept grass will SUI
fee as a beginning. From such small
starts grow back yards OF rich beauty
and invaluable force as reminders that
the citizens duty does not end with his
mere obedience Of the laws.

Before and After Cleaning.

In q most striking manner The Star
Is now showing the results Of cleanup
work In back yards. Yesterday ap-
peared pictures of one yard that was
chosen early in the illustrative campaign,
first In It's original condition. Uttered
With trash OF all kinds, a fostering place
for disease. unsightly to the eye. offensive
to every idea Of cleanliness and order;
second in its present condition, cleaned
to the uttermost corner, ridded of the
trash, swept and, although not garnished
with flowers as yet, in shape to be given
that final touch Of real civic pride and
progress.
This is a typical case, to be duplicated.
1t Is to be believed, IN hundreds Of places
In Washington. There are. or have been.
so many such yards that the cleanup
work has become a most urgent necessity
for the sake Of the community's health.
There are also just such latent concepts
Of good order and decency awaiting the
touch of suggestion and organization to
bring them into actuating force. What
has been done in this instance can be
done in every one. It is not a matter OF
funds. To clean that one yard probably
cost nothing but a little initiative and a
few hours Of work. doubtless with the
children willingly helping and learning
for the first time that there Is enjoyment
in toll that makes for results tangible
to the eye.
These contrasting pictures prove what
