need attention, but more SO now,
when an increased population IS locat-
ing here. In many cases, it is neces-
sary to rent houses in localities
where nuisances are chronic and
where sewer connections have been
neglected. @f
Poisonous weeds flourish every year
in certain neighborhoods, filing the
air with dangerous effluvium. They
are allowed to YAK and wane and
scatter seeds for next years crop.
The grand jury has had their spe-
cial attention directed to the square
bounded by Lee, Union, Wilkes and
Gibbon streets, which is the dumping
ground of that section of the city.
Conditions have been unsightly on this
square for a third of a century, but
it is decidedly unsanitary at present,
and being but one square from the
plant Of the Virginia Shipbuildins
Corporation, measures should be
taken at once to clean up the place.
The northern half of this square is the
property of the Southern Railway
Company. The capstone of the wall
at the east end Of the tunnel IS on
the southern building line of Wilkes
street, which obliterates the sidewalk
from Lee to Union streets. All sorts
Of rubbish and refuse is cast upon this
ground by people living nearby, IN
til the exhalations are repugnant to
passersby.
These nuisances, while not placed
upon the ground by the railway COM
pany. are permitted to exist there, and
if the company has no use for the
hill-and they have owned it since
1878, only utilizing a few feet for a
spur track Of their road-it should be
fenced in and not allowed to be the
dumping ground for people living far
and near.

mo IRISH NEED APPLY"

At least three score years ago, when
thousands of immigrants from the
Emerald Isle landed in New York
they Immediately sought employment.
At that time the New York Herald
contained pages Of small advertise
ments, some of which were headed
"Help Wanted" but the last sentence
of most of such advertisements bore
the words, "No Irish need apply"
which sent cold chills down the backs
OF the good people who had come to
America to seek their fortunes. A
well-known song at that time bore
the words at the head OF this article.
It was generally rendered by young
woman in concert halls who repre-
sented an Irish peasant land gave the.
experience of the honest Immigrant
who was in sore need Of immediate
employment.
The above was brought to our mind
several weeks ago when children
seemed to be bar to many who have
come to our city recently and who
were seeking abodes among US. ''No
children" were the significant words
to some advertisements Of apartments
to let
At that time we called attention to
scenes nineteen hundred years ago
at an inn in the city Of David, when
the infant destined to be King OF
Kings and Lord of Lords was nestl-
ing upon His mothers bosom.
"Thcre was no room Tor them ir
the inn were the saddening words
which confronted Mary and Joseph.
What are we to do with our chill
dren? is a pertinent query at this
time The little ones are the natural
ties between parents. and we are told
that their angels do always behold
the face Of our Father in heaven.
More solemn words in this connection
are also used-"Unless We shall be-
come converted (turned) and become
as a little child We shall in no wise
enter the kingdom of heaven"
'.No Children Allowed" signs must
be removed by Seattle. Wash, land
lords from their properties, according
to J. W. Spangler, vice president of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. He
has issued an appeal to rooming house
proprietors. hotel men and owners of
rental properties. declaring that ow-
ing to the scarcity of quarters for
shipyard workers and others engaged
in war work the situation in Seattle
is becoming alarming.
1t would be well if similar action
were taken in other places.

WILSON. ON THE mud"

The name Of the area reclaimed by
the filling in of old Baptising Cove is
known locally as 'the mud" this be-
ing the name given the forty acres
by the boys of the neighborhood, who
turned the ground into baseball field
as soon as it was reclaimed. Many
persons in the southeastern section Of
the city still call it by that name, al
though the area has during the past
few months been metamorphosed into
a vigorous manufacturing center.
When the automobile bearing Presi-
dent Wilson shot out on "the mud"
yesterday afternoon in the presence
&C the large assemblage of people
epresenting Alexandria, Washington
Il cialdom and nearly every state in
u Union, numbers of old Alexandra
Al, born and reared in that locality
l:.g ;ed into soliloquies when they at
sn pied to realize the changes Of the
n few months.
r no would have dreamed g decade
- that the Shiny cove, mostly COW
cred by waukapins was destined to be-
aa,ae terra frma upon which the
I1asident Of the United States, Sena-
and Congressman would meet to
ticipate in ceremonies incident to
ling the keel Of a steel, ocean-going
r,:mship? Such IS another illustra-
iau Of the unexpected. President and
M;. Wilson were there smiling ami
slrning the salutcs of the thou
sa is who had assembled.
ur;ng the early part OF the day it
not known positively that che
~ sident would be able to attend the
oE 'cises, although the officials of
III shipbuilding plant were ready in
he should strain a point and be
vt. Alexandria on the most impor-
tanr occasion in the city's history, AS
vnere was probability of Mr.. Wilson
utilizing the "MayAower" in case he
found it possible to come TO AleXan-
dria, a landing stage, bedecked with
the national colors, had been erected
on the plant extending beyond the
channel bank for his conveniece. He,
however, came in his automobile, ac-
cor,panied by motorcyclsts and secret
service men in machines, who kept
close to that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson. Their course was down Fair
fax to Wilkes street, thence to Lee
leading to the plant. The return trip
was made over the same ground.
An account OF tine scenes at the
plant appears elsewhere in The Ga
Zette. Hundreds Of automobiles were
used in Transporting visitors to and
from the scene, while people swarmed
to the southeastern section between
5 and o'clock, most of whom could
not get in to the plant. More people
appeared in the locality yesterday
than at any other time in the city's
history. Lee and Fairfax streets were
densely thronged for several hours,
while the honk Of automobiles pass
ing and repassing each other was
continuous.
A powerful siren whistle has been
placed at the plant. and yesterday
when the Presidential party made
their appearance it emitted Load
blasts as the assemblage cheered.
Later the people stood with barred
heads while the band in attendance
discoursed the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner."
