CLEAN Up P---PA|NT Up!
Written h, Miss Bessie Lcphfcn. i:;62
# street northeast. winner OF one Of
the opc-doIlnr prizes in The stars
cleBn-mp-paint-up essay contest.

Clean up-paint up is what every
person in Washington city should be
doiug these spring days There are
three reasons why the citizens Of
Washington should be striving to make
their city the clcancst i'll the world
economical. sanitary and artistic-and
there are two reasons Why every midi
vidual should he doing his utmost
toward accomplishing this end. because
every little bit helps and because if
one person sets the example his neigh
bors Will Immediately follow. l shall
give you few of the many benefits
the family. as well as the city in gen
eral. would derive from improving the
sanitary conditions of the city.
of course, the help to the physical
Well-being of the people is the first
thing to be considered. and there are
a great many WAYS in which the con
ditionS of this city could be improved
SO as TO benefit the health of the people
living III It.
Take the yards to your own homes,
for instance, and think of the many
ways in which the health of your fam
lily would be benefited by having their
sanitary conditions improved. AS the
children spend great deal OF their
time playing in these yards. they are
the ones TO whom the Improvement in
their condition would be most bene-
fetal. If the ground IS bare and
muddy, and if the garbage cans are
left uncovered and if all kinds of
trash and dirt are allowed to gather
around the sewer tops, the child is
bound to get some disease from it.
whereas. if there is grass growing in
every spot of earth and the garbage
cans properly covered and every bit
of trash kept out. the yard will be
a perfectly satisfactory place for the
children TO play in.
Then. the conditions in the house
would also be improved. If the yards
We're as clean as they should be there
would be no dirt tracked in on the
shoes to lodge in the carpets, nor
would there be those unpleasant odors
which come in sometimes from uncov-
cred garbage cans
one of the biggest benefits. however.
