JUNIOR SANITARY LEAGUE
OPENS WAR ON DIRT
Hundreds of Boys and Girls Begin
Campaign for Cleanliness.

No regiment ever went to war with
Erimmer purpose of determination than
the hundreds of boys and girls, members
OF the Junior Sanitary League, who
marched through the downtown section
today to show Philadelphians they are
prepared to wage war to the death on
dirt and insanitary and disease breeding
conditions. The banners carried by the
young civic workers bore the slogan of
the campaign. 1t Is the first campaign of
its kind to be held in the city.
The boys of the College Settlement
marched from their headquarters, 433
Christian street. headed by band of Boy
Scouts. The banners flying above their
heads bore inscriptions such as Swat the
Fly Kill the Rat" Keep the Garbage
Covered" etc, and pictures showing rats,
hles and other disease carriers were dis
played. The marchers were garbed in
spotless white, the emblem of cleanliness.
Following the parade meeting of the
Junior sanitarians was held in the Col
lege Settlement where definite plans for
the campaign We're decided upon. The
purpose of the campaign Is to reduce in
fant mortality, to obtain better sanitary
conditions and to educate the foreign res
ideuts In the prevention of insanitary con-
ditions. Tho campaign is being conducted
under the direction of the Child Fedora
tion and the Division of Sanitation of the
Bureau of Health.

What Matters It2

What matters it that all the skies wer,
dark.
And black the night and tense?
with morning came the singing of the
lark
And joy for recompense!
What matters 1t that ever, day by dav.
Up rugged slopes we fare?
DO not Loves roses blossom by the way
And sweeten all the air?
Life's pathway is a toilsome one, I know,
Thick strewn with many thorn:
But oh, the joyance of the noontide glow
And rosy smile of morn!
run oft the footsteps falter in the road
And slacken near the goal,
But one clear bird song seems to lift the
head
And cheers the faIntIng soul.
And so what boots it though the skies
are dark,
And black the night, and tense,
since morning brings the singing Of the
lark
And Joy for recompense?
One day of golden summer amply pavs
For winters storm and sting;
one brief hour of pleasure we'll out
weighs
Long weeks of sorrowlng!

PEACOCK RING THE LATEST
FAD IN JEWELLERS ART
Worn on the Little Finger, 1t Has
Distinctive Quality.

Something unique and decidedly new is
the pea5ock ring, designed especially for
the little finger. II is an American ma
chlne-made ring, selling for S150 and 50,
according to size, and n pleasing variation
from the silver pinky rings, set with one
stone, which have been popular for the
last two seasons.
The ring is of antique gold set with IA
stones (emeralds and sapphires), which
scintillatton represents the gay and fan
tastic tail colorings of the peacock. 1t is
being displayed in one of the exclusive
Chestnut street shops and Its popularity
Is gaining daily. In solid gold 1t sells for
$40. The antique gold, which is sterling
silver washed with gold, to give the an
tique effect, is quite the prettier of the
two.
This ring resembles in design the more
expensive odd pieces of Jewelry which are
the handwork of Austrians, Greeks and
Armenians. THE handwork," says this
jeweler whose reputation for handsome
handmade designs is widespread, "is al
ways as easily detected as handmade
When the war broke out
many of these Armenians and Austrians
fled to this country and some few have
settled in Philadelphia 1t is possible for
me now to have my designs made right

whereas heretofore 1t has been necessary
to have the work done on the other side.

1t is only necessary to watch a child
