Dear Sir
Referring to your editorial Co
operation Means Health. which ap-
peared in your issue of the 4th
which the writer read immediate
~ after returning from a morning
stroll
The article was of timely interest
as it was coincident with the men
tai criticisms l had INDUCED in
while On my walk against many of
our people who are cOnspicuously
lacking in neatness. cleanliness and
home and civic pride.
The morning Of the 4th was not,
dry and dusty. These conditions
made particularly noticeable many
unswept unclean and unsightly
sidewalks covered with sand. dirt
and other refuse which in numerous
instances is of a depth indicating
that il has not been disturbed for
many moons.
II is surprising that such a large
number Of our people are so lack
ing in civic and home pride. Are
they not aware or are they indiffer-
ent To the fact that orderly. cleanly
people comment on such conditions
and that they reasonably assume
that the interior of homes bordered
by dirt covered sidewalks are also
untidy and in corresponding disor-
der and unattractiveness?
Is there not a city ordinance
which requires that sidewalks and
home surroundings be kept free from
unsightly and unsanitary accumu-
latioEs? Would not a marked i'm
prOvcment result from occasional
official inspections of all sidewalks
and the delivery of an official notice

TO all whose sidewalks are covered
with Unsightly accumulations? Is
II not the duty OF our city officials to
give due attention TO this matter =?
Is it rot the duty of our Mayor to
direct the proper officials 10 see that
Indifferent people do what pride
should dictate and the law require
When our home and business srr-
roundings are at least approximately
what they should be. we are then
living on a higher plane and amid

TACT entirely possible that comets can, and

anp pestilenee. That war can be caused
BY them Is, OF course, absurd. But let US
examine the evidence that disease can be
communicated by them.
II was the great philosopher, Herbert
,SpsnceT, who said that there was no
Shnan belief. no matter how apparently
gtIa, that did not have its origin in fact.
y would seem that belief so widespread
and so time-worn as the. e.conet-war-pestil-
gpce one ought 10 have records to support
it., AS a matter Of fact there are such
records, but the trouble in accepting them
as final is a lack Of knowledge Of other
eoaditions which might have brought
about the consequences ascribed to the
comets. The Chinese, whose astronomical
observations are the oldest we have, record
at least ten epidemics following great
comets. The pestilence which decimated
Asia and Europe in the fifteenth century
and which we know as the Black Death,
occurred the year after the visit of great
comet. The most modern coincidence, IL
lf can be so called, was the outbreak of
that mysterious disease we call influence.
which began eight months after we were

How could comet passing us millions OF

the surface OF our planet? How could It
cast living organisms into and through our
