Residents of All Sections Have Join
ed Crusade for Cleaner and
Healthier Capital.

All records for trash collections in the
District of Columbia We're broken yester-
day, when the wagons of Michael r.
Ready, District refuse contractor record
ed an increase of % per cent over the
largest amount of rubbish deposited in
any previous day at the Benning dump.
The collections were twice as heavy as
those OF Monday. the opening day of the
clean city campaign, and exceeded the
best showing of any single Gay during the
sanitary crusade of year ago
1t was late last night before Mr. Ready
and his assistants had looked after the
last load of rubbish. All hands at the
refuse contractors plant put in a siren
uous day, for much of the material de-
livered was water-soaked. which in
creased the difficulty Of asserting it.
City's Cleaning Thorough.
Washington is undergoing a thor
ough cleaning" said Mr. Ready. IF
indications may be relied upon, the
crusade this year is much more of
success than the one of last The
movement is receiving support from
every section. Although the weather
conditions are not favorable. they do
iot appear 10 nave Qdmpene0 the ardOr
OF the crusaders. Residents of every
section have taken up the work with
such vim that l am convinced the
cleaning up will continue indefinitely
Twenty-eight collection wagons were
operated yesterday by Mr.. Ready.
each of them making three trips. The
refuse contractor stated that he re-
ce1ved during the day more than fifty
requests to remove rubbish from pri-
vate premises.
Every assistance is being given the
cleanup leaders by Mr.. Ready, who,
though only required to remove rubbish
of certain character, is hauling trash
of every description to the Benning
dump. The principal difficulty encoun-
tered so far is the fact that much of
the waste material has become soaked
by the rain which has fallen almost
steadily since last Friday. 1t is the de-
sire of the contractor that residents
keep the trash which they desire to have
removed as much protected from the
weather as possible.

Activity in All Sections.

Chairman Richardson and the other
clean city committee leaders were more
elated than ever this morning when
they were informed of the big days
business done by the refuse collector s
wagons Reports received from the
health department inspectors and
through other sources were equally con-
vincing that the cleanup crusade is
being prosecuted with vigor in every
part of Washington
There has been a big increase in the
number of complaints Of insanitary con-
ditions received at the health depart
ment since Monday. These relate prin-
cipally to unsightly yards and vacant
lots. The nine sanitary inspectors Of
the department are being kept busy in
vestigating the communications receiv-
ed. In many instances notices have
been served that insanitary conditions
must be improved or prosecution will

Minimizing the Fly Pest.

That the city-wide cleaning now in
progress will result in much reduced
fly population in Washington during the
early summer is the opinion of local
health officials One of the principal req
sons which influenced the decision to- con-
duct the campaign was the belief that
breeding places of flies would be de-
stroyes on large scale and the danger
to the city's health >rom this source con-
siderably lessened.
Although the clean-city workers have
had disagreeable weather to contend
with from the start health department
officials are inclined to look upon the
situation optimistically. They point out
that organic refuse, after it has been ex-
posed to rain for any considerable pc
riod. rapidly decays after warmer wealth.
err sets in. thereby constituting admir-
able breeding places for flies.
But for the fact that hundreds of wagon
loads of rubbish are being hauled out of
the city this week. a real menace would
be seen in the weather conditions and
flies would be expected to develop by
millions before the end of the month.

Results Expected in Philadelphia.

That one of the most important bene-
fits that will result to the people of Phila-
delphia from the proper observance of
cleanup week in that city, beginning
April %. will be a reduction in the num-
Der of flies during the summer is the
opinion of the municipal authorities who
are arranging for the campaign.
1.-The fly must have undisturbed filth
to breed in," is the statement of Joseph
S. Neff. director Of public health and
charities in Philadelphia. THE fly could
not exist If everything were kept clean
and sanitary he continues. Therefore,
the most effective way to prevent flies is
to prevent their breeding places. Dis
pose Of manure. kitchen offal, garbage
and the like in such way that the house
fly cannot propagate.
'In localities where food is plentiful
flies rarely migrate from the neighbor-
hood in which they were Matched So il
you have an abundance of flies in your
own community the chances are that
their breeding place is in nearby filth"

Daysey Mayme
And Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE

TT a circular showing a goddess
floating on a cloud that is rest
ing on a piano. and Is supposed to
represent the Goddess of Music, fails
to sell a piano to you, that is be-
cause you have soul too sordid to
appreciate art.
Yol are as mundane and material
istic in your nature IS Lysander John
Appleton, who looked at picture
his daughter. Daysey Wayne, painted
Of her mother with a halo on her
head, and commented as follows:
II don't see why your Ma. being
a good cook, is any reason why you
should paint her with her head stick
ing through pie like that. Doesn'
show proper respect"
But every artist knows that such
criticism proves nothing but the sor-
didness of the critic. and Daysey
Mayme Appleton. being gifted with
the artistic temperament to a dan
gerous degree continued to paint SUCH
milkmaids that if they went into a
barnlot the cows would be too scared
to give down their milk, and Raphael
like cherubs with as much symmet-
~ to their limbs an there is to al
overstuffed weinerwurst.
The fire of genius burned so hot
within her that it put water blisters
on all the critics who ventured near.
She knew the serenity of one whose
soul approves and feared not.
Passing through the stage when
girl loves loves, loves, she had paint
ed Cupids flying. Cupids walking, Gu
pids shooting, Cupids unarmed and
Cupids everywhere Then, having
reached the pcssimistic stage which
makes women hate men, either be-
cause they have one or haven't, she
painted Cupid with horns and tall
and an expression like that of mar
ried man.
And now. after having passed
through every stage of artistic devel-
opment. from the painting of a wom-
an angel wearing a blue shirtWal9t
and a red skirt sitting on a purple
cloud TO a landscape that was an es-
cane and found that Fame is too fleet
ing to be negotiable, she has begun
to paint for the microbe- infested
lucrc
She has begun TO enlarge pictures,
finding in the work of making a
dough-faced ancestor with as much
expression as a bondholder all the
field a creative genius desired.
81 seek my patrons among the
poorer classes" said Daysey Mayme
THE enlarged picture is not habit,
1t is a disease, just the same as the
itch, the mumps or the measles. and
It always takes worse where the
families are very poor"
Daysey Mayme is making money
out Of the weakness Of human ma
ture; and who will dare say this ia
not the foundation on which every
Immense fortune was built?
