The way an American pole vaulter

always falls down on the bar at the
greater heights, instead OF falling on
the other side, even if he is for "a

VIGILANCE is PRICE
OF HEALTH

Surgeon General Cumming re-
peats the warning he gave last
year as to the danger of lowering
of standards of health in the Uni
ted States which may possibly re-
suit from over-confidence and re-
taxation in vigilance in public
health work. He also points out
the fact that a material increase
in the population produces a mark
ed tendency to a more than corre-
spending increase in sickness and
death, and states that this increase
will surely follow unless rational,
proportionate measures are en-
forced to prevent it, Had we not
learned how to prevent, in great
measure, many of our communica-
BILE diseases, and were we not pro-
vided with the means of applying
known preventive measures, our
population would be swept from
time to time by epidemics, which
because of our present congestion,
and better facilities for rapid rtans-
portation, would make past cpl
denies seem mild in comparison.
The people of the United States, in
so far-as the national health is con-
cerned, have grown into body
compact comparable to the human
body, no member of which can
suffer without affecting the we'll
being of all.

Another Survey

The Springfield, Mass, fire pre-
vention committee, operated as the
fire prevention division of the
Springfield Safety Council, L. A.
Blanchard, manager, made a sur
vey of every residential street in
the city last fall and found 12,718
wooden barrels in use as recep-
tacles for ashes and combustible
materials. This practice has been
one of the leading causes of fires
in Springfield. Fire Chief w. H.
Daggett, who heads the commit
tee, which acts as his cabinet, re-
ports 500 wooden barrels replaced
by metal cans in the business dis
trict since April I of last year, and
believes the general elimination of
this hazard will result in a marked
reduction in fire alarms.-From

If we want to be neat and clean

method of improving and adding to
the interests of our city.
Is there any reason why our lit
tie city shouldn't be as attractive
and as we'll liked as other places
of our size? We are located in
such place as to be near some of
the most interesting and attractive
natural scenes in Arizona.
The property owners have be-
come very careless about the up
keep of their property for the last
few years. Wouldn't you rather
see thoroughly cleaned yard and
a house that has been we'll kept,
yes, and fence that doesn't look
like it is about to fall over, than
to see an old dilapidated house
whose coat of paint is blistered and
falling off, with the window lights
broken out and a fence in an un-
slightly condition, and a back yard
that is overly crowded with rick
ety-looking sheds?
1t seems that the people do not
realize how much it would improve
their property and add to the value
of it to spend a little extra time
and a few extra dollars each year
instead of waiting from two to five
years and then paying an enorm-
GUS sum to have all the repair
work done. If your property isn't
worth its up-keep, why did you in
vest your money? If you are not
adding to it each year, do you ex-
pect it to retain its full value? 1t
is Impossible for run down property
to be worth as much to you or to
anyone else, as it would be if it
were we'll kept.

Clean Up And Paint Up
Week-Its Purposes
And Benefits
Fifth Prize-JuniOr High
BY BERNICE CAMP


During this week and weeks fol-
lowing, we hope to beautify and
clean up Winslow.
The object of Clean Up and Paint
Up Week is to make Winslow a
cleaner, healthier and safe place in
which to live. We also want to
make it more beautiful.
To make our town healthier, we
can destroy flies, mosquitoes and
other annoying insects, clean up
yards, alleys and streets. If there
are old shacks and other fire traps
near or in Winslow, there are
great possibilities of serious fire
losses. If breeding places of flies
and mosquitoes are destroyed there
is less danger of diseases and di-
minishes the deaths in the town.
Painting houses increases their
value and beauty. A person who
has a well kept house and yard is
generally the thrifty one. 1t does
not cost much to paint house and
if they are painted about every
two years they will last much long
er. The kind of house and yard
a person has usually tells what
kind of a person the owner is. A
beautiful home should be the pride
of the owner.
Planting trees. flowers and
shrubs is not much work or ex-
pense. Green lawns and many col
ored flowers brighten the town and
attract strangers passing through,
who might possibly come back to
live. 1t increases our business and
