Anti Ugly Society Is Formed to Rid Cities of
DetaCen1e1ts on Buildings and High7gaoY

BIZ NEA Service
KANSAS CITY. Dec. 23.-What
is expected to become a Nationwide
movement to make cities cleaner
and more beautiful has its seed
here in the organization of the
Citizens Anti-Ugly Protective Asso-
citation.
This organization, the first OF its
kind to be incorporated, is financed
by seven philosophical citizens. 1t
aims to rid the city of all deface-
ments on sidewalks, highways, al
leys and buildings.
Already it has accomplished It's
first obiective-remOval of tattered
placards and out-of date advertising
matter from walls and buildings.
The movement grew out of the
efforts of Joseph Meinrath, retired
business man. who spent several
thousands of his own in an effort to
beautify the city.
Meinrath's appeals TO the public
through newspaper articles, paid
newspaper advertising and other
publicity channels brought him six
wealthy aids and lined up public
sympathy on the side of the move
nent
Then Meinrath and his six aids in
corporated their organization.
The first thing they did was to dig
up an old ordinance against placing
posters on poles. They prevailed on
the mayor and police commissioner
10 enforce mis- ordinance.
Poles. walls and buildings were
covered with posters, some of them
years old. Police aid was enlisted
10 tear all Of them down.
We've accomplished our first
aim, " says Meinrath.
Now we hope 10 get through the
council ordinances which will rid
boulevards Of obnoxious signboards
and residence streets of filing sta
tons
What's the use of having fine
boulevards and residence districts
and statuary If they're not pro
tected?
The word 'ugles well describes
the evils We're lighting. And anti
uclies' is a good nickname fer the
seven Of US who're leading this
war"

Result of Fever
year ago the boy was stricken
with scarlet fever, which left its mark
in the form Of a swelling in the throat.
Physicians were consulted and they
decided the trouble was in the glands
at the back OF the neck. The condi-
ton grew worse and an operation was
deemed to be necessary.
Finally it was performed, but it
failed to relieve the condition. and
the boy grew worse. The swelling in
his throat increased until his breath
ing was seriously interfered with.
The lad condition became so grave
that he could breathe, and then with
difficulty, only when sitting erect

Public Opinion
Stands by ArbuckIe


TO thc Editor o. The Times
After reading an article in last eve
nIng's Times in which our esteemed
mayor. Mr.. Shank, made a statement
regarding Mr.. Arbuckle. motion pic.
ture actor, I wish TO say a few words
in favor Of Mr.. Arbuol5Ie.
In my opinion Mr.. Arbuckle should
be given fair deal. The courts Of
California awarded him an aquittal.
ana therefore I cannot quite under
stand Mr. Shank's viewpoint.
Mr. Shank. as we'll as others, seems
TO have the idea that when a man is
down everybody should help to keep
him down. Mr.. Shank is, in my opin-
ion a little too hasty in his donunci-
atoms. He should remember that it
was the people OF indianapolis who
elected him to his present office. He
should consider the feelings OF the
people as we'll as his own.
As for moral correction. I think
there are enough theaters in this
city showing pictures which are liable
to disrupt the weak minds Of great
many people who do such a great
amount of bowling"
There is plenty of time to pass laws
as to what kinds Of shows the public
can go 10 see when the pictures nave
already been passed by the board Of
censors. There is enough crime and
trouble in our city that our leading
officials should be taking care of, lot
