Mrs. C. K. MiXter, chairman of the
stree; vigilance committee of the civic
department of the Rock Island We.
mans club, presented the following re-
port at yesterdays meeting:
The street vigilance committee of
the civic department of the Woman's
club consists Of a chairman and two
assistants, l. precinct chairmen and
as many helpers as they may see fit
TO appoint.
When your present street vigilance
committee was appointed las: spring,
clean streets and alleys were the goal
ahead of them and they we'll knew
that this could not be accomplished
through one mans efforts; the people
themselves must respond.
The women of the city must be per
suaded to include their alleys in their
housekeeping; more thought must be
given to the manner of disposing of
heir garbage and refuse.
So the work was begun by visiting
the homes and telling CT the reform
we were trying to bring about and
asking the housewives to give the mat
ter their personal attention: in other
words. to know for ourselves chat
they had the proper receptacles pro-
vidsd for garbage, tin cans. etc; also
to see that all paper was burned, never
thrown in the street or alley. The
householders most readily responded,
and in the shortest space of time we
found hundreds OF new garbage pals,
boxes and barrels holding the refuse
that had in time past been carelessly
thrown over the alley fence. where no
more thought was given il further
than 10 wish thai our town. might be
kept clean. not realizing that we, the
housewives. really were responsible
for the existing conditions, for the city
ordinance says NO person shall place
or cause to be deposited on any street,
alley or public place in the city. any
rubbish of any kind or description"
also. 1T is unlawful to throw or allow
to be thrown loose papers on any
street, alley or sidewalk or to leave
the same so that they may be scattered
or blown about"
Our street commissioner stood ready
and willing TO do his part, but alleys
that were cleaned today and filed
again tomorrow would never bring
about a clean city. Blu; with the wo-
men awakening TO the cause of the
trouble. and a Willingness on their
part TO help rectify it, we soon saw
the work could and would be done.
The streets have been swept and
scraped oftener than ever before in
the history of Rock Island.

Chinese Parliament is
Dissolved by President

Pekin - The Chinese parliament,
which practically has been non-exist-
emit for months, was definitely dis
solved by proclamation Monday, the
administrative council having ap-
proved the proposal, purporting to
emanate from General Ii Yuen Heng,
vice president of the republic, and the
military and civil parliament COVER
nors of all the provinces last Deem
Der, suggesting the termination of the
parliament.
The proclamation says that the par
lament will be re-convoked in due
course of time. 1t is now intended
that the administrative council shall
draft a constitution. This body num-
bers I'll members and consists of the
cabinet officers and others, appointed
by the President, as well as the pro-
vincial governors.
In the meantime the moderate mem
bers of the parliament threaten a
peaceful agitation throughout the pro-
vinces against the action of President
Yuan Shi Kai, while evidences are
not abating that the extremists will
persist in their efforts to organize a
new rebellion.
