S GR F STATEHOLSE CLEANED DAILY

Superintendent Blames Wind Blowing Trash, Drought for Bad Appearance.

5 » The 10 acres of Statehouse lawn are sprinkled every night and the grounds are cleaned every day, Wil“Ham D. Gill, building and grounds superintendent, said today in commenting on pictures in The Times

yesterday showing the lawn dirty

and dry. "This lawn looks like this every time we have hot weather and no rain,” Mr. Gill said, “and the reason is that the ground, a short distance “from the top, is filled with rocks, tin cans and other rubbish. Even when it rains hard the lawn soaks the water up like a sponge.”

Two Water Nightly

Two, men with 1000 feet of hose and 17 sprinklers water the lawn every night, Mr. Gill said, and others attempt to keep it clean every day. “This is a dirty neighborhood,” Mr. Gill said, “and paper from the paper stock houses in the vicinity blows over here constantly.” Next year Mr. Gill hopes to put new topsoil and fertilizer on the lawn. More men and a larger appropriation will be necessary to keep the lawn looking as it should the superintendent said.

and leaflets, arranging them in neat rows. His manner was brisk. He didn’t see Alice go out of the room, so zealous he had become in his efforts to sell Ann a vacation at Lake Racine, His talk abounded with enthusiasm and salesmanship. But when he turned he saw Ahn smiling at him. He looked around and saw that the other girl had gone. Then, suddenly, his whole manner changed. The salesmanship vanished, and he was laughing with her. “After the day's work is over it’s hard to get out of harness,” he said. Then he talked less .glibly, less

His manner became almost awkward but it was an attractive awk-

curious light in them.

“Mr. Ware, must I really go to Lake Racine?” Ann said, eyeing him askance. “I had planned to go to the seashore, but if you insist—" 2 ” 2 HE was laughing at him, He flushed deeply, and she was sorry for having hurt him. “Call me Bill,” he said. “All day long in .the office nobody calls me anything but ‘Mr. Ware.” I'm human, too. .I like to be with pretty

You know, I'm not at the office any longer— you're a pretty girl—I almost forgot—" She eyed him sternly agait. “Ohl. Well, let’s get down to business.” “Yes!” he said hastily. “Yes!” He began fingering expense sheets and travel folders. “I suppose you want the regular all-expenst vaca tion. It's the simplest way. Pay it all in one lump, and then enjoy your vacation.” “It will have to be less this year,” Ann told him. “We had to take a cut in the office.” “Oh, I'm sorry!” he said. He looked at her for several moments. “Gee, that’s tough! I mean—just last week I got a raise. When I get back from my vacation—it's my first in six years—I'm to be ad-| vanced to the “position of travel consultant.” He smiled a little wearily. “It’s just a title in the office, but it pays more.

His voice was eager now. “Yocuf vacation does come the first two. weeks in August, doesn’t it? ‘That’s when I take mine there.” “When I went back to the office this afternoon,” she said, “I found that my vacation comes in July.
