plies and receive all returns. The COM :
mittee will hold nightly meetings to

BIG CLEANUP DRIVE:
STARTS TOMORROW
Prominent Washington Won.
en- to Make Special Inspec-
ton Tour of City. .

District officials and citizens tomor-
row will launch a cooperative drive
for making Washington sanitary and
attractive during the period of the
armament conference.
Inspection is to be made of the ef-
ficiency of the various District refuse
collection services; blotters urging
citizens to help make Washington
beautiful are Ito be distributed among
the homes of the city. and posters
making a similar appeal are to be
placed on street cars.
The inspection plan, suggested by
Engineer Commissioner Keller. is to
take on the form of contest, In
which prizes will be awarded the
employees making the best showing
in their respective divisions. 1t il
expected to become a permanent GUS
tom.
Women to Tour City.
Representatives of the cleanup or
ganization. sponsored by the Twen-
tieth Century Club, will make the
inspection, together with officials of
the street cleaning department. They
will leave the District building at
O'Clock tomorrow morning and will
cover the entire city. The party will
include Mrs. Richard Fay Jackson.
chairman of the general clean-up
committee: Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith.
Mrs. William Heron, Mrs. Austin
Clark and Mrs. William F. Ham.
The services to be inspected are
those for ash. refuse and garbage
collections and the white wings
tives of the committee will be as
signed one of these divisions and she
VIII be accompanied on the round of
inspection by the superintendent in
charge of the diyision. Mrs. jackson
will direct the general work.
Banner and Cash Prizes.
1T is planned to give banner to
the employe in each service whose
work is held to have BEEN the most
efficient. 1t is probable cash prize
also will be awarded. If the custom
is made permanent. it is suggested
that the competition be based on
three-month WORK periods ana that
cash prizes for meritorious service be
awarded four times a year.
School children are going to dis
tribute the blotters. of which $4,000
have been ordered, Mrs. Jackson said
today. The blotters will carry the fol-
lowing inscriptions: What are you
doing to make Washington beautiful
1t is unlawful to throw or leave paper
or refuse matter Of any kind on any
street. sidewalk or other public space
in the District of Columbia. Don't
do it. Washington cannot be beauti-
full unless it is clean. Keep it clean!
"keep Washington Clean.''
Three hundred street car posters will
carry the appeal: "Clean it UP
Washington-keep it clean."
Mrs. Jackson said today the. emer-
gency plan adopted for cleaning up
Washington for the armament confer
ence will have been executed before
the end of the week. 1t had been
planned to divide the city into sections
and place each section under the super
vision of citizens association or
other organization. which would be
charged with responsibility for inspect
ing and reporting on it's sanitary con-
dition. 1t was found there. was not
sufficient time for putting this program
into effect as an emergency measure
but it probably will be adopted as
part of the permanent campaign for
civic cleanliness. Mrs. Jackson said.
