opinion that there seemed to be was
as of the possibility Of the electors
voting down the bond issue necessary
to raise the money to meet the city
share Of the expense Of the intersec-
tions should the improving of more
than Main avenue be recommended.
Some thought the bond Issue could
be carried easier il the improving Of

that the bonds would carry easier II

For spring and early summer we'd

NATIVE fancies have full reign, and
never before have such dainty con-
ceits come to us as the Partisan ccu-
turier and milliners have conceived
this year. Quite new are the brides
maids sets which are composed of va
nous feminine accessories. One set
includes a parasol, hat, slippers and
boudoir cap, all developed from the
same material with the same scheme
OF decoration. Hand painting is the
chic note that dominates these crea-
tions. The parasol, rather small in
circumference and deeply fiuted, is
made of softest white silk with gar
land of pink roses and dulltoned
leaves, which furnish the conventional
border. The handle of white enameled
wood is very long and it is garnished
near the end of the stick with bunch
Of exquisitely handmade rosebuds.
The hat that accompanied the para
sol was of soft, white straw, very fiat
and round, trimmed with folds of hand
painted ribbon of the same motif as
that used on the parasol, and beneath
the brim bandeaux of crushed roses
was so arranged as to nestle against
the hair. The boudoir cap was also
of white silk, with pink roses painted
upon the crown, and outlining the face
was the soft edge of white marabou.
This cap is charmingly constructed.
very simple, but having the graceful
lines which are becoming to almost
any contour. The boudoir slippers are
also of white with vamps decorated
with tiny, hand-painted roses and ros-
cites of baby ribbon. They have high
heels. but are fiat in the back so that
the foot can not slip in without ef-
fort.

Why Not Kill All the Flies?

Today health conditions in Richmond are at
least fifty per cent improved over what they
were ten days ago. This is the one big result OBJ
tanned from cleaning week.
But there is still room to improve the stand
ard of health in this city and of the best ways
to do it is to follow the example of Cleveland
Kalamazoo and other enterprising cities and set
aside week to be devoted to the determination
of flies, disease germ carriers.
The campaigns being conducted against this
small but dangerous enemy of mankind in the
cities referred to are more comprehensive than
merely encouraging the citizens to swat the
little pests. They also provide for the creation
of fund $3.50 in Kalamazoo, which is only
little larger than Richmond), raisedby popular
subscription, which will defray theNexpense of
doing away with all the filthy unsanitary places
in the city which are used by flies as breeding
places.
It is estimated that in past years the average
number of individuals in Richmond who die
through diseases we'll known to be spread by
flies is thirty every summer. 1t is also esti-
mated that of this number Is per cent could have
avoided these diseases had there been no flies
Surely movement aimed to prevent this
number of deaths in Richmond every summer
should receive the enthusiastic support of every
citizen. To those who scott at the idea that flies
can be exterminated in any community, it is on
ly necessary to call attention to the fact that
there are flies in the Panama Canal Zone not
withstanding the fact that it is bordered by
dense iungles. This condition prevails on the
Zone because of the unrelenting war waged
against the pests by the canal workers under the
direction of the health authorities.
1t has been suggested that if one or more of
the charitable organizations now receiving funds
from Sunday moving picture entertainments
would contribute their receipts for one Sunday
to fund to be used for filling up cess pools and

Civic Beauty

Civic beauty may be but skin deep.
Richmond has just passed through the
throes of annual cleaning week and every patri-
otc citizen has done his her share, even to the
little children.
And for week or two the city will look spick
and span and then gradually the reasons for
other cleaning week next year will begin to &C
cumulate
In fact, most of the reasons for next years
work will be the reasons for this years work that
were never cleaned away. For civic dirt is but
another name for civic inefficency and does not
apply alone to the mere trash of the streets and
alleys and back yards. These are but some mani
festations of the greater sore.
Lack of sustained effort is to be the most ap-
parent for next years civic cleaning, yes,
and the househoders' house cleaning we'll
The ninety and nine of us, however, are products
of our environment, must go behind lack
of sustained effort and find its
We, the ninety and nine, have shouldered
most of our fundamental responsibilities onto
the shoulders of the one. small class has been
formed which has sought to perpetuate it's pow
to think and act for the ninety and nine by
political and economic monopoly, on account of
the unfairly rich rewards accruing. This power
in the hands of class composed of clear think
ing and just men would not have harmed us
materially as much as mentally. In the hands of
unthinking, unscrupuous and unjust men it has
harmed us materially, but has given the in
calculable mental gain that comes of being
forced to think of way to rid ourselves of our
"old man of the sea" and still retain what good
there is in the present system.
When a majority of the people educated
to the point that they know what they want and
when and how to get it, and this will come with
the increase in popular intelligence due to the
competition between popular and minority ideas
and aspirations, then sustained effort will be
couraged by straighter and never ending road
instead of being discouraged or rendered i'm
potent by so often being shunted onto roads that
turn out to be but blind alleys
When sustained effort is encouraged in all
things, then will we have clean city, internally
as well as externally, not only fundamentally,
but also specifically.
A city but reflects its citizenship. When
Richmond's citizens earn their daily bread under
economic and political system that is wholly
responsive to the demands of fairness and intel
lgence, the effect of this on the citizens will be
very apparent to the superficial observer of af-
fairs civic
Civic beauty then will be more than skin deep.

committee appointed by the Commercial
club, for instance, could have entire charge Of
the work and arrange other means for raising
the money needed and adopt other plans for en-
listing the support of the citizens.
The city government would necessarily have
to give the movement its official support to make
it complete success by stringently enforcing
those ordinances requiring alleys to be kept
clean and sanitary and by placing ban against
all insanitary out houses.
