WOMAN AND THE
MUNICIPAL BROOM
(By Mary Day Winn.l

1t seems to be Saturday night all
the time in these days of an awaken
ed public conscience and enthusiasm
for municipal cleaning Does the
most sanguine back yard cleaner and
fence painter, however, believe that
this new cleanliness will continue at
top notch? Can women be expect
ed to keep the city pleasant place
to live in by giving il a great spring
cleaning only once A. year and ieav-
Ing the business, for the other nine
months, to that VIGOROUSLY poor
housekeeper, mere MANI"
1t is an axiom that The city is only
the larger home? This granted, why
not call in the real housekeepers all
the year round? Those women who
doubt their ability % be really of SER
vice In the great municipal home,
harken to the story of Chicago and
the Garbage Nuisance"
In certain parts of Chicago the gar
bage collected by the city was piled
up in huge mountains and left to
rot In the sun. filing the air with
stencil for mile around. attracting
and breeding flies. those lovers of
filth, and helping disease to snuff out
the lives of the little babies of the
poor. This highly delightful method
OF garbage collection cost the city
$4,000 a month. The horror of the
situation appealed particularly to
Miss Mary Mcdowell, She travelled
over Europe. studying in different
cities the best methods of handling
the garbage problem. She went to
the city Fathers" pointed out the
necessary improvements and begged
them to take the matter up. She was
bowed out. She went again. and
again, over period of many years.
She was known among those city
fathers as The Garbage Nuisance"
Then the women of Chicago got the
vote. Three weeks later the Gar
hage Nuisance" went on her monthly
visit to the guardians of the city's
health. Ye Gods and little fishes,
what a change She was ushered in
as an honored guest. She was told
that the garbage question was the
dearest concern of the councilmen.
She was made chairman OF a commit
tee to consider new method of gar
bage disposal. with an appropriation
of $4,000. Her name, too, was
changed: she was thereafter known
as Miss Mary Mcdowell, the Gar
baEe Expert"
Chicago's new garbage plant makes
a profit, over and above It's expenses,
OF $4,000 a month. Now no garbage
is even unloaded in the open air. 1t
is brought to the plant In iron boxes,
which are picked up by big electric
cranes and emptied into the big con-
crete and steel receiving houses. and
there 1t goes instantly to huge driers.
The products OF the plant pay ex-
penses and yield the handsome in
come above mentioned This sounds
like a fairy tale. but It may be veri-
fed by any one. It is only one OF
many examples showing what the
woman's vote can do for a city.
