Our Water Front Section

The appearance of Alex
andria's water front is lit
tie short of disgraceful. Tin
cans, bottles, broken glass,
rubbish and debris of all
kinds litter up the ap-
proaches and the front it
self. We are of the impress
sion that a committee Of the
Civic Bureau of the Cham
Der Of Commerce was ap-
pointed some time since, to
inaugurate a "Clean Up

edy this condition in time
for tomorrow, but we hope

Judge Brown, of Washing
ton To Make Address
Thursday.
"FATHER AND SON.
Luncheon To Be Held Promptly AT

Planned for Event.

Judge Willis Brown, the worlds
greatest juvenile delinquency ex-
pert, of Washington, will make the
address at the kiwanis father and

Brown enjoys perhaps the distinction
of having more boy friends than any
man in the country; as result OF
his long experience as their FRIEND
in the Juvenile court Of Salt Lake
Lake City.
After serving in the capacity Of
Judge of that court for long period
he became SO popular as platform
man that he eventually had to give
all Of his time to public work. 1t
was while making chautauqua ad-
dresses in the west many years ago
that Secretary Wallace Of the Y. NJ.
c. A., made his acquaintance and 1t
was he that secured the Judge for
the address Thursday.
During the last lev years the
Judge has made his home in wash
ington and is now the editor or a
very popular boys page in one OF the
Capitol's newspapers where he has
already made a great many friends
among the youngsters. During the
past summer he spent a great deal
of his time down on the Potomac
where he had an ideal camp.
There is quite scrambline
among the members Of the kiwanis
Club for sons" as many OF them
have none of their own and have to
"manage" for one. 1t is understood
that there will be a great disparity
of ages among the sons as some OF
them have sons Of very tender age
and Secretary Wallace said he would

week old. =,
The luncheon, as usual, will be
held promptly at twelve thirty, and
will close at one thirty, but 1t IS un-
derstood that there will be wonder,
full program crowded into that one

The Knights of Columbus have in
augurated most worthy project for
stimulating an interest in American
history. Incidentally. too, it is de-
signed to counteract the undermining
propaganda now being promulgated
in many parts Of the country. Among
other admirable features is the Of
fering of prizes for the best original
