Taylor of Hominy, Okla. came in.
He'd shot down a bomber, too, and
was low on ammunition.

Taylor bagged one more but got
shot through the arm and had to
come down. I went over BARRIERS

Premier Gen. Hideki TOTO. recapitu-
lating Japanese claims of successes
in the first week of the war, told
the Diet today that the bulk Of the
American feet which had been in
Hawaii is destroyed and the main
body of the British Far Eastern
feet is crushed.
UNITED States Navy Secretary
Knox, back from a flying visit to
Hawaii, acknowledged yesterday
that the surprise Japanese at
tack on Pearl Harbor had sunk
the Battleship Arizona. the old
target ship Utah and three de-
stroyers and had damaged the
Battleship Oklahoma and several
smaller vessels.
He declared, however. that
"the entire balance of the Pacific
fleet" including battleships, air.
craft carriers, heavy and light
cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines, now is "at sea seeking
contact with the enemy.")
Both houses of the Diet unani-
mously passed an extra war budget

Warns Of Overoptimism.
Declaring that our fighting
forces have speedily broken through
enemy key positions within less than
10 days." Gen. TOTO said:
The encircling front against
Japan, the strength of which the
enemy had exaggerated and given
wide publicity in an attempt to
intimidate us, has been shattered
at various places. The ant1-Japa-
nese encircling front is on a fair
way to collapse"
However, Gen. TOTO warned the
Diet-which was summoned in spe-
cial session to approve emergency
war measures-of the dangers OF
overoptimism.
"A war remains waiting to bt
fought" he said.
The Premier reiterated assertion!
that Japan had declared war only
after exhausting all possible men!

Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo
who also blamed the United State

Amozing Record

"A FEW year-to-year figures taken
from Lubbock's records should drive
the point home to anyone. In 1899,
for example, 1887 alleys and vacant
lots were cleaned: an increase of 1868
over the previous campaign. A total
of 8,l95 back and front yards were
cleaned - an increase of 425%o over
the preceding year In 1910 grand
total of 1890 cleanup accomplish
ments was an increase of 43.1% over
1899, when they gathered in their
tenth straight award And remember
that every win in this contest makes
the next one that much harder be-
cause the matter of improvement over
previous conditions counts heavily,
giving a decided edge to the newcom-
ers.
Some of the more specific figures
from this community of 81, 500 are
particularly interesting. The report
shown me for the campaign completed
just prior to my visit recorded a total
of 1,l78 porches repaired; 1,444 rats
killed; 2,809 piles of rubbish burned;
1,21O street-name signs cleaned; al
most thousand homes painted (78@o
more than the previous year,; 1861
walls papered or calcimined; 3,170
walls scrubbed. In short, the whole
grand total of cleanup accomplish
ments tells stirring story of civic
pride converted into a priceless tangi-
BILE asset.
Not long ago Harvard's Professor
Albert Bushnell Hart wrote an OBJ
servation about a condition that has
impressed every American traveller
abroad: "The United States with all
its wealth is a dirty country measured
by standards of most European coun-
tries"
Shamefully enough, it is true. But
in $500 American communities steps
are being taken" this spring to quash
that indictment. And when you think
of what Lubbock, Texas - just one
of those $500 can accomplish each
year, you get glimmer of what an
all-out, nationwide war on dirt could
achieve in terms of health, safety
and actual dollar economies.

War DECLARED On DIRT
Here's one kind of mobilization in which
13o,oooooo Americans can participate
by Paul w. KeaxneY

every householder is stimulated to the
desire to climb on the band wagon
And that desire is deftly famed into
fame by the insistent prodding of the
children - who have to bring back
to school reports of household clean
up activities - and by the awarding
of numerous prizes in cash or mer-
chandise donated by public spirited
merchants. For instance, Scout troops
collect awards for the greatest amount
of rubbish collected; younger boys
gather up tin cans from vacant lots
to win free movie tickets.
If you wonder how a community
that has earned the title of the clean
est city in its state eleven times can
have so much trash around, you SIM
ply forget what the cities that don't
win look like. The fact that each year
in Lubbock shows bigger cleanup
job than the year before is just an in
dication of what you and your neigh
bors could accomplish in your city if
you really put your minds to it the
way these Texans do.

$1,000. In Chicago, where 100000
school children and 100000 families
took part in 1899, the cash outlay was
only $5,007.
In addition to Cleanup and Paint
Up campaigns, many communities
have included such projects as Fix
Up, Light-Up, Dress-Up, Modernize,
Plant-Up, etc. In St. Louis alone
$4,000 flower boxes were planted in
last years campaign, not to mention
$4,000 flower gardens, $1,000 shrubs
and $4,000 trees. And when you learn
that in that same city 10000 houses
were painted and 125,00O walls re-
papered or calcimined in an eleven
day drive, you realize what a marve-
lous thing Allen Clark's idea has
turned out to be.
You realize it even more clearly if
you happen to see its results in a
smaller municipality where it is pos
sible to watch everything tick
which chanced to be my good fortune
when my wife and we're touring
through Texas. Up in the Panhandle
we stopped at Lubbock, city of
81 500 population, and soon learned
at the hotel that this was the "Clean-
est City in Texas" having won the
award in it's population group eleven
successive times in the national COM
petition. Since no other Texas COM
munity approached that record, l
hied myself to the Chamber of Com
merce and in an hour they gave me
an earful!
"This town isn't as clean as it ought
to be-" began Mr.. r. D. Shinkle, the
Chambers publicity man. And that
startling statement was the first clue
to their success; refusal to be satisfied
with their past record. The second
clue that soon became apparent was
the thoroughness and efficiency of the
Cleanup Campaign organization;
another was the enthusiastic cooper
alton of virtually the entire popula-
tion, from the City Board (Which
appropriated funds for the employ
ment of 33l men to take care of mu-
nicipal properties) right down to the
orphan asylum (whose inmates pitched
right in and went to work with their

rising of 100000 Americans.
Armed to the teeth, they will 60
to war against common enemy with
in our midst - dirt.
1t was twenty-nine years ago that
a man in St. Louis got the idea. That
man was the late Allen w. Clark.
schoolteacher, editor and publisher,
and his idea was a Spring Cleanup
Campaign to beautify his native city.
For several years he financed the
annual drive out of his own pocket
with increasing success, but it wasn't
long before popular acceptance of the
doctrine snowballed the project to
tremendous proportions. Civic organi-
cations, trade groups, women's clubs,
schools began to pile in and help. The
plan was seized upon by other cities.
And today over $500 communities
stage their own Cleanup Campaigns,
in which 100000 householders,
armed with brooms and mops, paint
brushes and hammers, rakes and
spades, do battle with Dirt and Dis
order.
The dividends are enormous in
Identification, increased civic pride
and the reduction of accident and
disease hazards. In Flint. Michigan,
they used to have ten Fairgrounds -
and eighteen kids killed each year
while playing in the streets. The citi-
zens finally went to work cleaning up
vacant lots and back yards; now they
have forty-fve Fairgrounds and $500
vacant-lot and backyard play areas
- and not a child traffic death in
three years!
CIeon-vps Cut Fire Loss
6vEN the actual cash returns from
Cleanup Campaigns are amazing.
Cincinnati has, through consistent
clean-ups alone, reduced its annual
fire loss by $85O.OOO which means
a saving of over $l5O,OO0 a year in re-
duced insurance premiums. 1t is axio-
matte that "a clean house seldom
burns
From its modest beginning in St.
Louis, MIR. Clark's idea is now organ
lied as a national competition be-
tween cities and towns, with coveted
awards offered in various population
groups. Your city is probably COM
peting in this contest lin 1910 no less
than 1900 communities asked the
National Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign Bureau in Washington,
d. c., for details on how to operate).
The question is, what can you do to
help your municipality win?
There is of course, no uniform date
for the intensive drive. Southern
California and Gulf towns begin as
early as February or March; northern
cities get going in April, May or June,
depending upon climate; the peak Of
the offensive is reached early in May
Neither is there any uniform proce-
dure in conducting a drive. But the
one outstanding fact about this whole
some effort at civic betterment is that
the campaigns are invariably staged
on such a small cash outlay. Scores of
small communities get amazing results
out of committee expenditures of from
$40 to 500. Binghamton, New York

campaign on $242 cash. St. Louis wins
