HYATTSVILLE, Nd, July 23.-
What is expected to be a permanent

gun in Hyattsville today. The town
truck visited homes in the first ward
and collected trash which it was spe-
cif1ed was to be placed In receptacles
so that II could be handled with mini
mum delay. A week from today the
truck will visit homes in .the second
ward, and on the succeeding two Sat-
urdays the third ward will receive
attention. Mayor J. Frank Rushe says
the town is desirous of establishing
permanent and practicable cleanup
system. and the plan just outlined Is
only tentative. being designed to as
certain the most practicable method
to proceed. The Hyattsville Women's
Club has been urging action along
this line for some time. Recently
receptacles for fruit skins, ETC., were
placed in various parts Of the town
and the idea is proving SO success
full that Mayor Rushe states the town
probably will place more. -

are looking out individually for this
matter. DR.. Robert R.. Johnstone.
town health officer; Mayor Rushe and
other town officials are agreed that
system for disposing of garbage
should be established as soon as pos
Sible.
The mayor said today he had sew
eral plans in mind. One was to try
to interest farmers in the vicinity to
collect the garbage for fertilizer and
to pay them for the service. An
other was to have each householder
maintain an incinerator for the burn
ing of garbage and to make the
burning imperative.
Mayor Rushe said he favored the
hiring of man, clothed with po-
lice powers. who. would be paid a
salary and whose business it would
be to see to it that the garbage was
actually disposed Of

enjoyable trips l ever expect to
take. This island is located south
west of Long Beach and is about
. two and half hours run. The
steamer on which we went is an
excellent passenger vessel and was
just ready to be started for Europe
and pressed into war service when
the armistice was signed. 1t is
300 feet long and is driven by two
twin screw engines of 1900 horse
power each; he's state room, baths,
hot and cold water, rooms furnish
ed in mahogany, wireless telegraph,
orchestra, etc. Passengers have
the privilege of practically the en-
tire vessel from the engine room to
the upper deck, being barred only
from the officers quarters and such
places as might interfere with it's
proper management. The twenty
six miles of delightful sea voyage
passes by the largest lumber port

cargo of miscellaneous freight ever
loaded on earth being unloaded in

We passed by wae once the grave
OF number Of seamen who lost
their lives there in . shipwreck,
and it was given the gruesome
name Of Dead Mans island. The
restless waves washed these bodies
cut later so they were finally all
removed to q moro secure resting
place. | might state here that O.
large steamer has to run very
slowly while in q harbor, for if it
runs fast it causes such large waves
that it tears all the small boats
loose that are in the harbor. The
speed limit is four miles per hour.
I wish that scme of our speed de-
mons who drive autos were limited
to that and there would be fewer
accidents on our highways. The
ocean is said to be about mile
and a half deep in places between
here and Catalina. However, II
did not stop to measure it. On
reaching the island our first move
was to take ride in the glass bot
tom boat and view the submarine
gardens. When the sun is shining

1t is said you can see down into
the water about eighty-ive feet. 1t
Is clear in the Avalon harbor at
Catalina for there are no waves
against the shores On this trip
we staid near the land most of the
time so as to see the bed of the
ocean through the glass bottom of
the boat. Thousands of fish of
various kinds were in evidence pre-
sentlng a picture of rare beauty.
There were seaweeds fifty feet high
and standing straight up in the
water like trees on the land.
Rocks covered with shells and moss
ferns similar to evergreen trees
presented picture Of grandeur.
If you can imagine looking down
into water as clear as crystal and
see rocks. shells, sand, moss, sea-
weeds aud thousands of fish swim
ming around among this promiscu-

or make afraid, you have picture
of supreme beauty and for once at

fairy land. The champion sea
diver OF America performed under
this boat. According to his record
he has staid under the water three
minutes and forty-eight seconds
and has dived to the depth of fifty
eight feet. l have a beautiful
shell secured from him as a me-
mento.
Catalina island is the prettiest
spot have viewed anywhere as
yet. Its town of Avalon has
population Of about six hundred
ct present, while am informed
they may have q population of
probably ten thousand next sum-
mer when the tourist travel reaches
there. Imagine the little town of
Avalon with magnificent hotels,
three church organizations, and
school bounded on one side by the
Pacific and on three sides by beau
tiful mountains and you have a

1t seems rather odd that a man

The people of this region are very

although not absolutely necessary.
Autos were running here even while
1t was raining the hardest and l
wondered how many years 1t would
be until Iowa roads would be paved
and the autos running in rain as
we'll as in sunshine. However, CAL
ifornia has great advantage over
Iowa on the road proposition. In
the first place the roads here are
not laid out on section lines like
they are in Iowa. Most Of the
main roads run from town to town
and they follow the best route whe-
Their it is direct or not. Then again,
they have a better foundation to
build on here, especially in This part
of the state owing to the nature Of
the soil. There is abundance Of
building material and the pavement

picture of rare beauty. l would
like to see the roads of Iowa in such

could get anywhere at any time
regardless of weather conditions-the
only possible exceptions being in
