use MUSIC TO KEEP

Among a number Of other plans for
keeping New York's Fifth Avenue
clean and for upholding Its reputa
lion as the greatest retail thorough
fare in the world. one has just been
adopted. by the Fifth Avenue Assoc,
alton involving the use Of muse In
the parks below Thfrty-fourth street
to attract away from the famous ave-
nue. itself the crowds Of workers frolr
the neighboring factories who con
gregate there during the noon hour
and block the sidewalks.
Arrangements for providing the
music were left In the hands of o
committee of the association which
will seek the cooperation of the
mayor. the board of alderIen, AMI
the police commissioner. There has
long been pressure on all these Uf.
ficials to do something" about clear
ing Fifth avenue, and IL Is expected
that the new idea, because OF the
great drawing powers Of music. will
enlist their aid as something that OF

that the great mass OF the factory
