Hearings on Interstate Commerce Law
Before House Committee.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Hearings on q
bill to accomplish the purposes of the
much disputed commodities clause Of
the interstate commerce law were be-
gun today before the house committee.
Assistant Attorney General Todd,
speaking for the department of justice.
which supports the bill, said congress
had endeavored to divorce the rail-
roads from the business Of production
but that the commodities clause did
not accomplish the purpose. He pointed
out cases where the supreme court
had SO construed the commodities
clause as to make 1t ineffective.

Roof-CIeaning Crusade.

Something new to worry about has
been suggested by the citizens street
cleaning bureau in Chicago. Dirt
and rubbish removed from the roofs
of downtown buildings filled, it is said,
Ia wagons, as much as would be swept
up in day from four and a quarter
miles of downtown streets. Now 1t is
proposed to have the street cleaning
department sweep the roofs also
Most of the buildings, it is believed,
have not had their roofs cleaned since
they were put on. And much of the
dirt that fills the air and litters the
streets is thought to be blown off
these roofs.
The promoters of the roof-cleaning
idea have undertaken the campaign
with all the enthusiasm of discover
ers. They say to sweep the streets
and leave the roofs dirty is like the
housekeeper who sweeps the dust un-
der the sofa Strange to say this
new wrinkle in municipal houseclean-
ing did not originate with the newly
enfranchised feminine voters Some
man thought it out all by himself. But
who can say that he did not get his
idea from the vernal stunts back
home?

will do it.
While thousands of cities and
towns are enthusiastically en-
gagged in a clean up and paint up
campaign why should we not
have the same kind of a CAM
paign right here at hOme7
Why not clean up the streets
and alleys, the back and front
yards, the vacant lots2 Why not
remove the dirt wherever we can
find it? Why not paint the dingy
houses and fences?
There is both pleasure and
economy in such a campaign. 1t
means a more attractive place in
which to live, and adds to the
pleasure of life. Removing the
accumulated dirt means less
sickness, and painting up adds
to the value of our homes and
business buildings.
The man who inaugurated the
clean up and paint up campaign
that has for the last three years
swept over the nation has bene-
fitted millions of people. We
should get into this popular
movement and share in the pleas
ures and benefits that invariably

Different from the other civic cam
paigns, paint up" has double ap
peal. 1t appeals to the vanity and il
appeals to the pocket. 1t appeals to
the vanity in that very small outlay
of money can transform most any
home into a beautiful place. 1t ap
peals to the pocket in that it adds pro
longed life to the wooden structure
and renders it far more economical
and saleable in the open market
freshly painted home is thing O
beauty and an always attractive prop
osition to prospective buyers.
Real estate men all says that $50 ol
500 worth of paint adds from $500
to $1,000 in saleable value to any
building. In the large cities there are
spectators who make profession o.
buying old, dilapidated-looking struc
lures and repainting them at mod
crate cost, and then selling them at q
much advanced figure.
Painting is the best wood preserva
tive yet discovered. 1t is the creates
home beautifier beyond question. Il
is the best investment a home owner
can make on his premises. 1t is {
good investment if the home is in
tended for a permanent residence, be
cause it preserves the wood ant
makes the home attractive. 1t is q
good investment if the house is OF
the market, because it invariably in
duces a better price than an unpaint
ed structure.

outhouses is good business. 1t il

SHOWS REAL VALUE OF BUNT
Object TO Be Gained Is in Second At
tempt When Batter Should Hit the
Ball a Bit Harder.

What is the value of a bunt?"
Have you ever stopped to think over
this question? Well, no. Is it in the
first attempt or in the following?
Many argue that there is nothing to
a bunt but to lay the ball down with
a runner on base and advance him by
sacrificing yourself. That's not the
value of bunt, according to Mana.
ger Hickey of the Browns.
Most players, when they are told
to lay it down with man on base, get
in there and run it out. This is the
mistake many Of them make. But
now, to show that the value of bunt
is with the succeeding attempts: If a
batter bunts once, of course, the first
and third sacker will draw in the next
time he comes to the plate. Then all
the hitter has to do is hit a little
harder, and nine times out of ten he
will own base hit
And right there is the real value
of bunt."
