VENDERS PLEDGE AID
TO KEEP STREETS CLEAN
Storekeepers Blamed for Throwing
Rubbish Under Stands of Push
cartmen-Woman at Meeting

Pushcart venders. licensed to trade on
Fourth street have pledged themselves to
do their share in keeping rubbish off the
streets Of Philadelphia. The pledge was
given at a meeting of the pushcartmen in
the building of the Young womens Union
42S cambridge street. 1t was convened by
Mrs. Yedda Shoenfeld. head worker of the
Young Wopens Union Day Nursery, in
order TO cooperate with the Public Health
Department in its campaign for clean and
hygienic streets.
Morris Matchmaker. who has had stand
at Fourth and Bainbridge streets for eight
years, accused storekeepers of littering the
streets. He said many of them sweep rub
bish from their stores under the carts of
venders. The same opinion was expressed
by the only woman pushcart vender pres
ent. She was Mrs Rachael Bookirsky,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Strangers visiting New York must
travel about our subways in bewilderment II
they make any extended trip that necessitates
transfer. / suppose no subject has had
such intermittent attention rs the failure OF
trainmen to announce stations. The employ
ment of women in this service affords an ex-
cellent opportunity to make a successful bid
for the appreciation of the travelling public.
II the women will only considerably raise
their clear and soprano voices in announcing
the stations and train changes they viii
demonstrate a marked superiority over the
men, who have wilfully neglected this plain
duty entirely or have whispered unintellgible
English. In all Of my years Of city travel can
| recall but two men who considerably used
vigorous and sonorous English. Promotion

At Pacific Street, Brooklyn, on the same
platform one encounters four separate train
services, and the chances are all against a
stranger, or even q veteran resident, taking
the desired train. This morning ! tried 70

Canal Street, and am a pretty vigilant in
divdual.

The Bronx at 10 o'clock in the morning 70

She had taken a Culver Line train instead OF

capable of enforcing this very necessary duty,
and the only means left is to appeal 20 the
human side Of the trainmen and get them 10

IRON INC ihtHuetpiNh i<'"vt''
Even the fire losses for the first eight
months of 1917 in the United States and
Canada tell story Of the war, since the
total Of $3.50, 500, 900, as compared with SILL
100000 in 1915, represents the losses in oil
and munition works, here and in Canada, not
necessarily Of an accidental character. At
the same time the total figures are appalling
and the amount in round figures represents
property waste beyond all reason. II is
almost criminal for August, 1917, to show
losses Of s21.75OO0O, as compared with slO,-
100000 for the same month in 1916, since, as
all know. even allowing for war plots. most
of these losses are due 10 preventable causes.
We pay this enormous amount every year as
a tribute TO the national souchiness in build
ing construction and 10 a gross carelessncss
in the handling OF properties, which is one
Of our besetting sins, in which ws can take
no pride.

Farm Junk in Demand
prom The Boston Herald

prom ne BOSTON HeTuul
ANY farmer who wants TO make few dol
lars. perhaps many dollars, this fall has the
onnortunity in the discarded and rustng
farm machinery that is invariably lying
around his premises. The demand for scrap
iron of any sort, and especially for steel, IS
50 great that the farmer who hauls his junk
10 the nearest foundry or to the iunkman
will get a price for it that will open his
ewes. For example, most mowers and bind
crs have one or more bearings lined with
Rabbit metal, which contains tin that IL
now worth fifty or sixty cents pound and
lead worth ten cents.
And it is not simply that the farmer has
q chance to turn his junk pile into cash on
better terms than ever before in his life
time. but Washington sends out an appeal
TO him on the ground of patriotic duty.
When thc last census was taken there wa,
n billion and quarter dollars worth OF
farm machinery on our six million farms
and nobody knows how many hundred
million dollars worth of old farm machinery
in outbuildings and barn cellars and beside
stone walls not considered of enough &C
count TO be included. Next to railroad con-
structon in normal times, our farms take
the greater part of the steel and iron pro-
duced in this country-about sl65,0000 900
annually in implements and tools for the
fields alone. Every farmer knows how fast
much Of his machinery gets broken and out
worn-which means in most cases that it is
thrown aside and allowed to accumulate year
after year.
