BAD ALLEYS PURGED
BY CITY CLEANERS
Campaign of Publication Being Waged
Against Blind, Overpop-
ulated Byways.

Bad alley conditions are receiving the
chief attention of the committee Of the
citizens associations supervising the
clean-city campaign in their neighbor-
hoods. The blind, overpopulated alleys
of the city are being thoroughly secured
and tons of accumulated trash are being
removed under the direction of the lead
ers of the campaign. In connection with
better sanitary conditions in the alleys
is being attacked.
Favored by good weather, the most
work since the opening of the campaign
was accomplished yesterday. In many
sections of the city representatives of
the citizens association having super
vision of the work made house-to-house
inspection and arranged for the carting
off of the waste that had been collected
Gangs of men with teams were busy
cleaning vacant lots in all parts of the
District. Most of the householders of
Washington have made clean-city week
the time of spring housecleaning, and a
further increase in private collections Of
refuse was noted by M. r. Ready, refuse
contractor
A canvass of the results of the cam
paign will be made by the executive
board of the clean-city committee when
ii meets at the Municipal Building on
Saturday afternoon. At this meeting
will also be considered the data assem-
bled during the campaign concerning in
sanitary spots in the city, and the rec
concentrations made for their ultimate
elimination. Tentative plans will be con-
sidered for making the committees work
on such spots continuous and effective.

WANT AD HOROSCOPE.
APRIL IS.

An important date in history.
On April is, in the year 1906. occurred
the great earthquake and fire in San
Francisco.
That this disaster may be repeated is
a belief shared by many, when the
planetary conditions are again in con-
junction.
Many descriptive writers were born on
this date.
Richard Harding Davis. the journalist
ana novelist, was born April is, 1864.
On this date advertise through the
Want Ads for summer homes and sum-
her board at the lake or sea shore.
Summer cottages may be sold and
rented through a Want AID placed dur
ing the coming week.
Travel and transportation are favor
ed by planetary influences through the
Want Ads.
Domestics and housekeepers, hotel
chefs and managers would do well to
use the Want Ads for seeking better
positions
The home lis favored and all domestic
relations In harmony will bring success
ful results.

STOCKTON'S MANUAL ADOPTED.
Rear AdmiraIs Work Translated
for Use of Chilean Navy.

The manual of international law
adopted by the United States Navy is
being translated into Spanish. for use in
the navy of Chile, according to word re-
ceived at the Navy Department from the
naval ttache at the United States Lega-
ton in Santiago. Rear Admiral Charles
III. Stockton, president of George Wash
ington University, is the author Of the
manual.
A copy of the manual of international
law is furnished by teh government to
the officers of every ship in Lteh navy.
1t also is the text used in the instruc-
ton of international law at the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Rear Admiral Stockton wrote the book
last year, this work being the only one
of its kind made in size convenient for
carrying in the pocket of the regulation
naval uniform.
Authorities, in the Navy Department
regard this act on the part of the Chilean
government as being significant of the
fact that the laws of nations as adj
vanced by this government will be more
generally adopted in South America.

writers of these articles, who predict a

been acting in motion pictures for some

has won for her many capital notices.
She is pretty girl, with a remarkably
