WAKING UP THE sLEePERs

One OF the great obstacles to per-
sonal and community and business
progress, is the sentiment Of inertia
that holds back 80 many people and
so many towns from the achievements
they are perfectly capable Of reaching.
1t is amazing how this tendency to
non-action enters into the minutest
details OF our lives. and holds most Of
US back from the progress we are en-
titled to make.
You may name some improvements
In Delta that almost everyone would
consider practical and within our
reach. But though the necessity Of
these changes is generally realized.
popular indifference will hold them
back. With q strong and united move
ment, many things could be accomp-
lished that now seem out OF our
reach.
Inertia holds back many business
men from pushing their business a,
head by advertising in an enterpris.
ing way. It holds young people back
from efforts to fit themselves for q
more successful career. II lays its
cold and paralyzing hand on every
phase Of our lives.
The Independent. desiring to Stir
our people to realize the opportuni.
ties that are within their reach, will
print a series OF brief editorials with.
in the next few weeks, discussing this
subject as It applies to many phases
Of community and personal life. ALI

THE SPRING
CLEANUP

Some genius conceived the notion that Clean
Up Week or Clean Up Day, il appointed during
the spring months, would appeal TO the popular
psychology at that particular time. In did SO,
and today such occasions are observed in thou
sands OF communities.
The desire for improvement seems TO influ-
enee people at this season If you asked man
10 clean up disorder around his place in July, he
might eyasiyely postpone the suggestion.
But in spring some lure Of out doors, empha-
sized by the bright sunshine and soft brcezes and
cheerful bird songs seems 10 put new spirit
into the heart. The man who at other times is
indifferent TO appearances, will come forth in his
overalls and Jumper, prepared for heroic deeds
with rake, spade and bonfire.
This impulse toward industry should be
worked for all il is worth A cleanup day or
week should be appointed in every community
The home folks should all be organized into an
army of anti-litter workers each family detailed
10 clean up It's own refuse Also they should be
induced 10 add some touch OF beauty to their
grounds Landlords should be reminded that
their buildings will rent better il kept we'll paint
ed and repaired
L.. d. Allen, street commissioner, and his
helpers have set good example in the spring
cleanup idea. The trees of the village are all
being pruned; the rubbish, weeds and aecumula-
ton OF winter are being burned and the streets
arc being cleaned up thoroughly. Others can
well initiate the municipality in this regard.
An incessant stream of visitors passes through
our towns today, and Filler is under constant in
speetion by visitors These folks form impress
sons, not so much from superficial appearances
OF prosperity, like costly buildings as by the de-
gree of neatness and taste shown in the care and
Improvement of dwellings and their surround
ings.
Indications like these reflect the character of
the people who live in place A city that keeps
itself scrubbed and eombed, whose homes show
love for beauty by neat lawns and pretty flow
ers, gains name for self-respect and culture
Visitors pass along the word that IFS fine town.

Washington, Oct. 80. - Smoke
nuisance in cities is again receiv-
ing the attention of civic autllori-
ties and organizations in their
campaigns for elimination, reports
to the Interior Department indi-
cate. The campaign was suspend
ed during the war, when most of
the country's smoke ordinances
were held in allegiance to allow in
dustrles to operate 'unrestrictedly
when maximum production was
necessarily. With the return of
normal conditions many cities
have shown a determination to
take up this matter seriously and
work out solution.
Residence smoke, while making
probably less than 10 per cent of
the total smoke Of city, is partic-
ularly Objectionable because it j.
produced in the section where its
damaging possibilities are at a
maximum. Such smoke has a seri-
Gus pathological aspect in addition
to its destructive effect on proper

pneumonia, bronchitis, and pleur-
isy, are affected by the corrosive
fumes to marked degree. In
vestigators agree that there is a
direct relation between a heavy
sVoke-laden atmosphere and the
morbidity of the population; more

GERMANY IS

FUGITIVES
Motley Crowd of Refugees
Come to Fatherland for
Home

Berlin, Oct. 27.-The Permanent
Court of international Justice at
The Hague is warmly commended by
DR.. Eugen Schiller in statement
which is based on his recent exper-
fence before the court as repre-
sentative of Germany in the Wimble-
don case and two others concerning
the rights of German minorities in
Poland.
Dr.. Schiller says President Hard
ing's advocacy Of American participa-
ton in the court puts the court in
a new light as American participa-
ton would give certain guarantee
of impartial judgment. This action
Of the late President of the United
States has in a measure, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Schiller, caused Germany
to renounce itssdistrust in the court,
as the Americah effort to separate
the tribunal entirely from the Lea
que Of Nations leads to the hope
that the tribunal is operating along
other lines than those forecast in
the Versailles Treatey.
Discussing the decision on the
Wimbledon case. which was against
Germany, DR.. Schiller says it has
not been thoroughly understood in
Germany. Germany prevented the
British ship Wimbledon from pass
ing through the Kiel Canal on the
ground that the ship was carrying
ammunition for Poland, which was at
that time engaged in war with So
Wet Russia. The contention of Eng
land was that under the Versailles
Treaty, Germany had-no right to
take such action,\ even if it was
done on the ground that Germany
was maintaining neutrality by pre-
venting arms and ammunition from
going to a, nation which was actually
at war with another. DR.. Schiller
says the principles upon which the
court rendered verdict against
Germany are contained in the Yer
sailles Treaty and put Germany in
the wrong
Decision was against Poland iii the
two cases which involved the rights
Of Germans living under Polish rule.
Consequently Germany won two out
of three decisions and DR.. Schiller
is, firm in his belief that Germany's
first experieIce before the new
world court was such as to show that
Germany is not lost before interna-
sional tribun.s which are influenced

Il believe that nearly all foreign
ers remaining in Constantinople are
well pleased with the way the new
government has taken over the man

task for the Turk to master is pro-

capital into Turkey. With this, con-
fidence is assured and prosperity is
sure to follow.
