every newspaper reader in the country

human quality that home news has.
Distance not only lends enchantment,
but so much so that the far places be-

Scutari might be only the name of n
castle on diplomatic chessboard, but
how different for the folks who call 1t

WHY CLEAN-UPi

The main point Is the disgrace OF

OF the annual bath is not very funny

should the Street Cleaning Department

ffty-two cleanup weeks year The
present cleansing should set tho stand
