How Some Cities Re-
duce Fire Losses

Cincinnatti's first Clean Up and
Paint Up Campaign reduced the an
nual fire loss more than 100000
and brought an annual saving of
$160,000 in reduced premiums,
which in succeeding years have
been still further reduced, so that
Cincinnati now saves $850,000 an
nually as a result of these cam
paigns, reports Captain John j.
Conway, superintendent of the City
Salvage Corps and chairman of the
Cincinnati Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign committee.
Decatur Saves Money
Decatur, ILL.,, reported a fire loss
of $164,010 during the year before

was only $63,467.

movement is unquestionable Not
only is our city made a more beau
tiful and healthful place to live in
but also a better place to do busi-
ness in. Visitors attracted by
cleanliness will comment on our
city's neatness and inevitably our

Spokesman, press agents, loud

paign in the high schools, are the
editors Of the high school press.
OF major Importance in organized
school life are these bright jour-
mails, daily, weekly and monthly,
and without their aid in such
school-wide activities as the spring
cleanup campaign results could
hardly be expected to show unity
and magnitude. Such helpful pub
ficity as the following to promote
interest and efficiency in the clean
up campaign appears in the Crane
Tech Weekly, issued at Crane
Technical High School:
"The Chicago Association Of
Commerce in the great Clean Up
Snd Paint Up Campaign asks the
cooperation of every man, woman
and child of our great city. In the
past the campaign has been a sue
cess; this year it will be better
than ever because Crane is in it to
the last man. 1t is up to us to win
the prize and show what our school
stands for Every school is in the
contest; there, will be stiff compe-
fitiOn. We need the cooperation
sf the student body and that means
that each and everyone is to do
his share of work.
Each Student Can Help
Each student can help by first,
Keeping clean personally, then by
picking up the papers and rubbish
around the halls and street. This
may seem too much like work to
some of you, but it will be very
much easier if you do not throw
things on the floor or street. On
every floor of the school there is
much energy to put the papers in
it. By doing so you are learning
a good habit and also helping your
school and government. Then too,
around your home you can do your
part by planting gardens or lawns
and repairing broken fences or di-
fapidated sheds if there are any
near your home.
''It is not compulsory to do all
this, but if you are for your city
and are loyal Craneite you will
do all in your power to make Chi
cago bigger, better and cleaner In
doing so you will make yourself
better citizen and Crane a better
school"
"Get The Habit"

nal, Bernard Urist, editor, writes:

formation of habit of keeping

THE DAWSON GLEE CLUB.

John r. Monroe presented the Davi
son Glee Club in the first of a series
Of three concerts planned for the
Winter at the Masonic Auditorium
hast night.
Mr.. Monroe has a fine appreciation
Of the best in music and plans hislpro-
grams accordingly. He has a group of
alert, earnest young men in his
chorus. OF their voices, however, there
are many which seem to be in vary
ing degrees Of training and, one might
say, establishment" for not all OF
them are sure of their tones or even
their pitch. Therefore, beautiful as the
music that, they attempt and laudable
as their ambition, the auditor at one
of these concerts feels that he is tres
,,assing on q rehearsal. There is sure
ly no choral organization in Washing
ton that better deserves the loyal sup
port ana interest of WaShingtonianS,
vet until the group is better alnalSa-
mated vocally one can not cnmp.efei

that the English singers sang

That is what one well-wisher for the
