with the new city administration.
When the intake pipes Of the Keo-

moved from the middle of the river
to the forebay, the cry was raised
that this would be stagnant water.
The proposition was then carefully
locked into and Dr. Grover, state

and reported that the water was freer

location than in the old The water is

CLEANUP SQUADS
 . DO GOOD WORK
Boys Are Working Earnestly to Earn Prizes Offered By the Civ
 ic League.

The boy cleanup squads" worked all day yesterday and today and al ready have made the tin cans and dirt scarce on the vacant lots about the city. The boys are working for the prizes offered by the Valdez Civic League for the biggest piles of dirt that any of the squads could gather, and at o'clock yesterday morning, all through the rainy day the boys toiled at gathering up the piles of dirt that had been left by careless tenants upon vacant lots or about un- occupied buildings.
 The city authorities have agreed to haul away the dirt collected by the youngsters, but they little expected the magnitude of the task they have
 undertaken. Sixteen boys working 16 hours day for ten days will gather considerable dirt, so the street committee will, have to be prepared to hire a large number of teams. Mrs. Sam Blum, in charge of the
 contest for the Civic League, has
 been kept busy answering questions asked by the boys and arranging the details of the contest.
 The squads are composed of hon.
 orable little chaps who refuse to
 touch dirt gathered by opponents or steal from one another after it has
 been gathered
 Mrs. Blum has also announced that if the present heavy rains continue the time limit will be extended so that the lads need not work in the
 rain. So insistant are they and so
 determined to win the prize that they
 woorked all of yesterday and today l in the heavy rains.

PROTEST AGAINST WAR,
Demonstration Held by Socialists in
Anacostia

The socialists of Anacostia held an
open-air public meeting last evening on
the lawn at 1859 w street to expound
their principles and to present an anti
war demonstration concerning the present
European conflict. William V Mahoney,
presiding at the meeting. delivered the
opening address, and told of the meaning
of socialism. Rev Martin O'Donaghue OF
the Roman Catholic Church spoke par
ticularly of the high ideals of socialism
He attributed the present conflict in Eu-
rope to wave Of socialism that is
spreading over those countries, and said
that, in his opinion, had the majority OF
the people been socialists war should
have been impossible between the nations
He deplored what he termed the need
less waste OF life in time of war, and
said that the value of the lives so lost
Was far more important than the acdui-
sition, probably. of additional land, or
the gaining of supremacy by one coun-
try over another.
Rev. G. Leroy White pastor of the
Anacostia Methodist Episcopal Church.
also touched on the horrors of war, Civ
ing several reasons why he believed ii
should be stopped for all time.

The Can Opener.

This handy tool. the household
pet, we ply with skill and speed ;
and in the modern kitchenette it's
really all we need. The shining
tool that opens cans makes
household work a Joke; it super
sedes the pots and pans, the
stoves that used to smoke. In
olden times the toiling wives
were always on their feet: they
wore away their weary lives pre-
pairing things to eat. They fried
the meat. they baked the beans,
they cooked the spuds, | wist
they had no time for magazines,
for euchre or bridge whist. How
fortunate the modern wife, with
many a leisure hour. For she
can fill with glee her life. and Ian
guish in her bower. And when
at evening comes her man, i'm
patient for the eats, she says,
III open up can of beans or
deviled beets.' 1t takes three
minutes by the clock to get his
meal in shape; he's so we'll train
ed he doesn't balk. or try to make
escape. 1t may be. as hand over
hand, he throws the victuals in,
he sighs for grub that isn't
canned. that doesn't taste of tin.
It may be that his vagrant mind
recalls the old-time steak, the
dishes of the good old kind his
mother used to make. But idle
are the mans regrets, and vain
his hopes and plans; this is the
age OF kitchenettes, and things
put up in cans.
