WOMEN HELP TOWNS TO
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
They Have Done Much to Make National
Campaign for Civic Betterment
Successful Everywhere

TSHE United States is entering up
on an era of vastly improved liv-
ing conditions, both physical and
moral, due almost entirely to the
efforts OF women workers in the Ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, according to Allen w. Clark,
chairman of the national campaign
bureau, in St Louis.
1t is estimated that during 1915
more than a million women took part
in the campaign for civic progress and
human uplift which frightened the
lives and homes of millions from Ban
gor, Me-, to San Diego. Cal. THE
growth and development OF the ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, has been in leaps and bounds
since its Inauguration" he said.
Individual women, women's clubs
and women's organizations of all kinds
for civic and moral improvement have
joined forces in this great work which
reaches into practically every phase
Of life. Letters have poured in by
the thousand at the bureau headquar-
tiers from women inquiring how to
start the work in their communities.
Many Of these indicated that the old
fashioned ''parlor" variety of woman
civic worker was dying a sure and
natural death, and that serious-minded
women were coming to realize more
and more every day the big work that
is before them.
Women Led the Way.
Il don't believe we realized the far
reaching extent of the work we had
undertaken until the women showed
U.s." said Mr. Clark. The permanent
features of the Clean Up and Paint
Up" idea we're what seemed to gain
their immediate Endorsement. Their
old idea of a spring housekeeping,
which believe, originated In New
England, seems to have been dropped
entirely, and the women's organiza-
tons of the New England states are
among the very hardest workers for
an all-year-round policy"
1t would be an impossible task to
name In person even a small percen-
tage Of the women who have done &C.
tive and efficient work since the ma
tional bureau inaugurated its system
In the spring Of 1913. Some few of
them, however, are such women as
Mrs. Clarence Baxter of Kirksville,
Mo-, vice chairman of the civics de-
partment of the National Federation
of Women's clubs; Mrs. e. T. Sen
seney. chairman of the pure food com
mittee Of the Consumers league of st.
Louis; Mrs. w. r: Chivvis, president
of the Missouri Federation of Wom-
ems clubs; Mrs. Philip N. Moore of
St Louis, past president of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's clubs,
and Mrs. Thomas Sherwin, chairman
of the department of streets and al.
leys of the Women's Municipal league
of Boston.
Much Work This Year.
The work of the bureau as planned
for this year will be more comprehen-
sive In its scope than before. 1t will
include everything that will beautify,
improve sanitation and tend to the
health Of the community. Some of the
things to be done are the cleaning of
streets, alleys, front and back yards,
cellars and stables, removal of ashes,
carting away of tin cans and all rub
bish from vacant lots, burning or
hauling away all garbage, filing In or

doing away with breeding places of
mosquitoes, flies or disease germs, the
planting and trimming OF trees and
hedges, planting of flowers, and the
liberal use of paint on everything
that needs IL.
In many instances last year the
planning and experimenting of the
work has put entirely In the hands
of some efficient women's organization
in the city or town. The files at the
national Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign headquarters in st. Louis
are full OF records of just such eases,
Assistance in starting a campaign
in any community in the United States
will be given free of charge by the ma
tional bureau, Mr. Clark explained.
upon receipt of a request from any
woman or women's organization. Aid
can also be secured from Mrs. Clar-
ence Baxter, chairman Of the Won
ems committee of the national bureau.
or from any of the other civic leaders
constituting the bureaus advisory
committee.
Be Perpetually at II.
Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Senseney are
helping women's clubs everywhere to
accomplish in their towns what was
accomplished in st. Louis last year.
The women's clubs conducted the en-
tire campaign in st. Louis, Boston
and many smaller cities last year and
in thousands of other places they are
aiding the men effectively. The open
ing weeks N many places will be
only the beginning of perpetual Clean
Up aud Paint Up" campaigns. They
will be of immense value" wrote Mrs.
Baxter recently, "in arousing civic
consciousness in practical sanitation
and conservation and In actual bust
ness activity in the community. Many
people spend hundreds of dollars fur
nishing their homes and only an occa-
sional caller gets to admire them. A
much smaller amount spent on a coat
OF paint for the exterior, q general
cleaning up OF the premises and few
flowers would give pleasure to thou
sands OF passers-by and their friends
as we'll"
Both of these women are In daily
correspondence with leading club
women, in several thousand women's
clubs, in the effort to make the local
Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns
the foundation upon which to build
and conduct various other community
betterment activities in which serious
minded club women everywhere are
so interested.
Newspapers Give Help.
Editors of newspapers from coast
to coast have taken up this work OF
the women and are aiding them In
both the news and editorial columns
and most of them are unanimous In
declaring that the chief value OF tho
work is that It aims at permanent re-
form and continued effort.
Ministers are also aiding the women
In their work by preaching appro-
pirate sermons on civic cleanliness
and kindred topics. The wife OF one
earnest, hard working clergyman in a
southern town. In which the campaign
was In progress, wrote in a letter to
the national bureau that IL more peo-
pie were as sincere In their religion
as they are In this Clean Up and
Paint Up" movement the world would
be a much better place in which to
live.

BIND ALL MEN;
ATTACK WOMEN
Bandits Lay Waste San
Juan Ranch District; Peo-
pie Without Clothing.

Four hundred bandits, said to be
VilIistas, rode into the San Juan ranch
district. between February 1 ana ., and
brought havoc and ruin upon all they
could lay their hands upon, according
to a message received Thursday by a
local mining conmern.
The bandits are then said TO have
marched to Sierra Prieto, not far dis
tant. and a thriving community, and
after binding all the men and boys
attacked the women and young girls.
Leave People without Clothing.
When the band of marauders had
departed il was said that the people
upon the farms and ranches were left
without clothing. It is also stated
that 20 or more ranch hands were
killed.
The ranch is on the Durango and
Chihuahua border line, and the slow
ness Of the news to reach the border
is because the message was brought
in secret and by a messenger who ran
many risks to reach the border.
No Official Report Of Another Outrage.
No official message was received in
Juarez wednesday relative to the kill
ing of a man and boy in a small
town on the Mexico North Western
railroad, and the attacking OF num-
Der Of women. The attack is said to
have occurred in the zone where Villa
is supposed TO be operating. The de-
NAL of such a happening was made by
Gen. Gavira.
