WOMEN WOULD BE ''WHI7EWINGS''
AND BAN 'tSPI7TERS" LIKE FLIES

speaking. she would most certain
ly accept such Il job, if only to
stop the practice of making the
city streets public cuspidors.
A perfectly good law prohibit
ing expectorating on public streets
according to Mrs. Gabriel, but lit
tie is done to enforce it. In
times past there have been several
attempts made to enforce the pro-
vision, but to little avail. Mrs.
Gabriel has plan all prepared
showing how the law could be
made effective.
Would Arrest All Spitters.
First. Mrs. Gabriel. if she lands
the street-cleaning job. proposes
to enlist all the boys, police and
public at large in her service by
offering rewards for arrests of
every person found 'spitting" On
the streets. A daily list of the vic
Tins will be printed and scattered
broadcast. Heavy fines would be
made. If the rewards were suffi-
ciently large Mrs. Gabriel pre-
diets that the boys in the city
would help make arrests with as
much vigor and dispatch as they
kill flies in the summertime to sell
by the quart to the city.
Mrs. Gabriel pointed out that no
good housewife would stand hav-
ing anybody spit" on the floor of
the home. and just so no public
housewife" would permit similar
action on the city streets.
The women firmly believe that
ali. of the street cleaning commits
Sioner's worries and troubles
could be solved if he would only
seek the service of a woman in
his department..
