Cleaning Up the Alleys.

XVyASHINGTON'S alleys would be bad enough,
w if they immaculate the
kitchen floor of Dutch farmhouse With occa-
sional collections of ancient garbage, dead cats,
etc, blending their perfume with the odors which
come from crowded and perspiring humanity they
constitute to public health, especially dur
ing the hot summer months when dsease-spreading
decay is rapid.
Eventually these canyons between brick walls
will be rid of human habitaton and will be trans
formed into beauty spots. But the day is still far
off when Washington will have come unto the mil
lennum of civic perfection. The alleys will continue
they for some years to come, it is reasonable
to suppose
In view Of this condition. the decision of Dis
trict Commissioner James F. Oyster to order them
thoroughly cleaned and to make that his orders
carried out will have the sincere approval Of
every District citizen
Mr.. Oyster has announced that he will inspect
these danger spots in person. The seriousness
with which he treats his position as a municipal
official should be taken to heart by others in like
Offices. The only way Mr.. Oyster can be posi-
tive that the alleys have been cleaned is by per-
sonal inspection. By other means he him
self become thoroughly familiar with the conditions
under which. understand, about 10000 Wash
ington people live.
District officials may be men of excellent
executive ability and with the interests of the pub
lie at heart all the time But they become
thoroughly competent until they know the city
from the embassies along Sixteenth street to the
fthiest alleys where the unfortunate poor are
obliged to make their homes. We have felt, some
times, that few in authority understand thoroughly
conditions in the poorer sections.
Washington, fortunately, has no slums of the
type which disgrace most American cities. 1t has
streets where, hot summer day, it is neces-
sary to hold the tightly. But it has sections
which are far from ideal
Mr.. Oyster, Washington born and bred, prob
ably is thoroughly familiar as anyone with con-
ditions everywhere inside the District limits. But
he realizes himself the need of becoming more
familiar still We predict that his inspection tours
will produce excellent results in cleaner and better
living conditions. There is little enough that can
be done; but it is senseess that this little should
remain undone. any longer.

is unendng succession of drill, mess fatigue and

Success in the service today requires industry,
briefly and alertness. The man who makes good
must be a hard worker.
In view OF these facts the summer maneuvers
must appeal to enlisted and officers alike much

tasks to which they awake each morning when sta

Besides making more rapid. de-

The Markets
: CHAPTER k2

The city was not yet awake when
Polly and Barray issued from their
little cafe, but dawn had come. 1t
gave Polly q feeling Of strangeness
and adventure to see the first pinky-
gold sun rays slanting along the mar
row streets. to smell the clean out
door freshness of early morning.
One turning brought them upon the
ast markets, Les Halles. The great
arched glass roofs Of the different
sheds-one for meats, one for fruits,
ing many acres, made Polly gasp in
surprise.
Deep baskets Of w~atercress, ar
9 ranged with the heads Of the bunch
es inwards. forming q sort Of well,
evoked a squeal from Polly.
why do they fix 1t that way?"
"Um-m," Barry considered,
partly their innate sense of beauty;
partly to keep the leaves from being
bruised. The French regard theft
vegetables like flowers. They'll
rhapsodize over q beautiful carrot
and almost weep over an artfchoke
with smashed leaves!"
"Oh, do look at these heavenly
onions! I never knew al onion
could be. so beautiful! 7 And those
little polished new potatoes-like
woodcarvings! Yum-m, smell that
parsley--and what are those little
round things on green leaves?"
"Tresh flgs-ever eat them? Try
some"
The market woman served them
sn1lingly, with the grace Of a.
duchess dispensing tea. Polly
thought them a bit tasteless, but
novelty gave them tang.
The great market looked more
like q flower garden than q place
where vegetables were hawked. Most
OF the stalls were presided owe by
women-big and fresh faced and
businesslike, who sung out their
wares with the dignity of opera
stars.
Even the cheeses and fish are
like perfume from Araby," chirrup-
ed Polly, enchanted.
Food is a science and an art with
them," said Barray. "They love and
respect 1t, from the seed to the fin
ished DISH"
A clamor arose nearby.
THE mushroom auction" said
Barray.
A man In a blue smock, with a
purple neckerchief, stood on q bar
