AU rights of republication of mpm Mai dispatches her la are alio reeerred. The Spotless Town Richmond takes pride, and justly so, in her beauty. Few cities can compare with her in the number of streets lined with beautiful shade trees and parking strips, parks conveniently located, well kept yards, and beautiful homes. Individual pride of the citizens in improving the environment is responsible for this condition. But there is room for improvement in one particular. The city authorities are trying to remedy the evil. The enactment of an ordinance recently by the city council providing against the throwing of paper and trash in the streets and alleys, as well as a section making it obligatory on every citizen to remove the paper and trash from the street and alley adjacent to his residence and to deposit it in receptacles, seeks to enhance the beauty of the city. Every public citizen will agree readily that streets littered with paper and pieces of trash, and dirty alleys are a reproach to our boast of civic beauty. Whole-hearted co-operation of every man, woman and child will quickly relieve a condition that does not harmonize fully with our ideas of the city beautiful. The campaign which the board of works and city council has inaugurated is based on the principle that every citizen believes in the theory of personal responsibility in maintaining clean streets and alleys. The police power of the city

in enforcing the ordinance does not enter into a a tua4. Gf a f iim clearing house, facilitating the

a detracting element to which our attention has been called. It may be added, without damage to our personal pride either, that a true citizen will not believe it beneath his pride to pick up a bit of

trash he sees littering the sidewalk and street j and deposit it in a box. Let a thousand men, wo-j men and children believe that every piece of:

paper and trash on the streets and alleys is an insult to our civic pride, and the rubbish will disappear as if by magic Pass the Word Along Men with a handicap are turning into men with a future. "Find out what Uncle Sam will do for you" is what one of the men who lost a leg in France and is finding a vocation here writes to his fellow wounded. All over the country in colleges, trade schools, and shops disabled men are learning to be self reliant, self supporting men. The heads of the institutions write that the men are making great progress, and that they enter into the work with a vigor and eagerness that is a cheer to everyone. Whether the retrained men are telling others, or the board is reaching them in other ways, they are certainly getting news of their right to reeducation, as four hundred and fifty a day are wanting commercial, agricultural and trade courses, and are finding their way into colleges

from California to Maine. The federal board for vocational education and the Red Cross here as well as the Elks' Soldiers' Friend committee is eager to receive all disabled men for advice and training.

Perhaps no figure in literature is more loved for sheer valiance of spirit than Robert Louis Stevenson. He contended all his life against disease with high courage and dauntless gayety. In France and California, in the Adirondacks and the South Sea Islands, he pursued the will o' the wisp, health, which always eluded him. From 1SS0 to his death in 18S4, his wife was a source of strength and inspiration; yet exiled from friends he suffered physical pain and weary disappointment. Much of his best work was written in bed. Nevertheless in 17 years he produced four volumes of essays, seven romances, five collections of fantastic tales, two of South Sea yarns, three of poetry, five volumes of travel and topography, one of political history, and left material for several posthumous

works. "Treasure Island" is perhaps the best loved of his romances. StevenHobert I.ouis Stevenson, 1S50-1S84 son said: "If this don't fetch the kids. why. they have gone rotten since my time."

Complying with the terms of the army bill, awaiting the president's signature, Secretary Baker has issued instructions for the discontinuance of all construction work and the purchase of real estate for aviation fields, balloon fields and air service schools.

question each must answer for himself. If individuals believe they can run counter to the expressed desire of a majority of citizens, who are pledged to a platform of a city beautiful, they will learn to their sorrow that the ordinance carries a clause which entails the exercise of police power to enforce its provision and fines to make effective its purpose. Trash and paper receptables have been provided on Main street for the disposal of waste. Old paper sacks, discarded newspapers, and countless other articles which the pedestrian does not want to carry should be thrown into them. They were put there for that purpose. If you have been in the habit of throwing empty tobacco sacks and chewing gum wrappers on sidewalks

and streets, change your habit. It is just as easy! to throw them in the gaping opening of a trash receptacle as it is to toss them in the gutter. Waste paper of all kinds, old rags and the countless items that are listed under trash and rubbish should be thrown into boxes and receptacles. It will require no outlay of money to obtain an old barrel or box, placed in your alley or at the side of the alley gate, for the reception of discarded matter that comes under this category. If you invest money to paint your house and barn, if you keep your grass cut, your shrubs trimmed, your flower beds neat, and do not keep the paper off the street and alley, all your money has been spent in vain and your effort to beautify your premises is futile. An appeal to the civic pride of . Richmond should suffice to end the nuisance. Time and figain the citizens have rallied to the support of a meritorious movement.

The medium of the motion picture can not serve as a complete educational course. There will have to be much studying besides of languages and customs on the part of individuals. But the pictures will serve as a stimulus, arousing interest and developing sympathetic understanding of our Pan-American i friends.

Of course, the immediate purpose back of most of this educational work is commercial. It is intended to open the eyes of the United States

business man to the best methods of securing

South American trade. Inevitably, however, it is going to create clearer appreciation of the people themselves, and so develop the possibilities for real friendship into that mutual good-will which foresighted people have been urging for so long.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

N THEY'RE IN FOR BUSY DAYS Baltimore American. A doctor can prescribe liquor for his patient, and so the lifesaving capacity of the profession is immeasurably enlarged.

Mr. Utterson was a lawyer, who believed in lettirfg people go to the devil in their own way. He and Richard Enfield, a man about town, who was at once his distant kinsman and his friend, often walked about the London streets together. One day they

I came upon a sinister, windowless, two-

story building in a by-way. Enfield told of seeing a man in this street run into a little girl, knock her down and walk over her body. "It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see," he said. "I collared the man and held him, and though he made no resistance he gave me a look so ugly that it set me In a sweat. He offered to pay damages and came to this house to get the money. He gave me 10 pounds in gold and a check signed by a man I knew. A forgery? Not a bit of it perfectly good!"

Mr. Utterson asked the name of the man. Enfield with some hesitation said: "His name is Hyde." "You see I don't ask you the name of the man who signed the check, for I know it already," said Utterson. That night the latter opened his safe and took from it a will which he re-examined with care. It provided that in case of the death of Henry Jekyll all his possessions were to pass to Edward Hyde, and in case of the disappearance, or unexplained absence for three months of said Jekyll, Edward Hyde should step into Jekyll's shoes without delay. As he studied it the lawyer said: "I thought it madness, now I begin to fear it is disgrace." He decided to talk with Dr. Lanyon. a great physician and an old friend of Jekyll. "I see very little of Henry now,"

said Lanyon. "He began to go wrong

some 10 years ago. He became too fanciful for me." Lanyon had never heard of Hyde. From that time forward Utterson began to haunt that sinister doorway into which Hydo had disappeared. He determined to discover its owner. At last one night a small plainly dressed man approached and drew a key from

his pocket. His look suggested deformity but did not show it. Utterson accosted him and said: "Now I shall

know you again. It may be useful." Hyde gave his address in Soho, admitted knowing Jekyll, and disappeared within. Utterson turned away convinced that this loathsome little man had some dark hold upon Dr. Jekyll.

are in many points identical, they are differently sloped, that is all." Utterson's blood ran sold in his veins. "Henry Jekyll has forged in defence of a ferocious murderer," he said. One day Lanyon called on Utterson looking like a man who had been death-doomed. He refused to discuss Jekyll. He would not have his name mentioned. "I regard him as dead," he said, but would say no more. In less than a week Lanyon took to his bed and diwi. A day or two after the funeral, a letter from the dead man came by messenger to the lawyer, a missive marked "Private. Not to be opened till the death or disappearance of Henry Jekyll." Utterson did not open the letter but went at once to call upon Jekyll. He saw only Poole who said his mas

ter was hardly ever seen outside the room in the laboratory, and that he had grown very silent and morose. It seemed that something heavy rested on his mind. One evening as Utterson and Enfield went across the court in the rear of the Jekyll house they saw the doc

tor sitting at one of the windows taking the air with an infinite sadness of mien, like some disconsolate prisoner. Utterson, shocked at his looks, urged him to come down and walk with him. Jekyll refused sadly. Suddenly as they both stood looking at him his smile vanished and an expression of abject terror and despair came upon his face. He turned away. The window was thrust down. Utterson turned and looked at his companion Enfield. Both were pale, there was an answering horror in their eyes. One night Poole suddenly appeared

at Utterson's house. He came to say

that for a week his master had been shut up in his cabinet and that he was alarmed. "I can't bear it any longer," he said. He could not explain his fears but begged the lawyer to go back with him. His face was white and his voice broken. Utterson found the entire household in Jekyll's house in a state cf panic. All the maids were huddled together like scared sheep. "They're all afraid," said Poole. "Follow me," he added; "I want you to hear, and I want you to be heard

From Popular Mechanics Magazine. WHILE our crops in the North can almost be seen to grow, and the golden grain fields of the south are already being gathered: while industry is putting on more men and adding to its facilities; while indications promise a period of greater prosperity than any nation has ever known, we should not, in our expected (-uccess, forget the conditions which exist across the Atlantic. We have no occasion to be pessimistic far from it but we do need to understand conditions there, even though the picture is a painful one. Frank Vanderlip, a banker of International experience, and a close observer, on his recent return from a study of affairs abroad, designates conditions there as "paralyzed industry," and paralyzed to an extent little dreamed of by most of us here. Europe lacks capital, raw materials, and to a large extent industrial organization, all of which have been used up, or scattered during the war. Resumption of industries is also hindered through the loss by death of millions of skilled and experienced men, whose abilities lequired years to grow, and which only time can restore. Only partial crops will be raised there this year, and live stock of all kinds has been greatly depleted; fortunately our own and Canada's grain crops promise a huge yield, and with restored ocean traffic starvation conditions are improbable, but the full dinner pail is unlikely there for another year. It is to America that Europe must look for relief, and It Is for us to keep a level head, both for Europe's rake and our own. This country has the opportunity of centuries to be of world-wide assistance in stabilizing and restoring normal conditions, and we must not fall In our duty, nor must we think only of ourselves. - The Financial World reduces the whole proposition to

these few words: "Capital must be husbanded, long credits extended, labor must not be impatient or dictatorial, and capital must not make greed its first principle. Europe Is economically diseased and must be treated tvith tenderness and care." We have our industrial organizations but slightly impaired; our machinery is in good working condition, being neither junk nor obsolete; we have the raw materials; we have the money to operate and produce, and we have millions of skilled and unskilled laborers. What we most need at this moment is a spirit of reasonableness and cooperation on the part of both employer and employe in order to stabilize producing and working conditions. This alone can secure the

largest permanent returns to both. The occasional em

key. Utterson went home with a feeling that some danger menaced his friend Jekyll. A year later London was Ltartled by a singularly inhuman murder case. A bousemaid, looking from a window, saw a man who resembled Mr. Hyde strike down her master, a venerable, white-haired man, ar.d trample his body under foot in a hellish fury. The old man was Sir Danvers Carw. The case came to Utterson who alone recognized the weapon which the assassin had dropped. It was a cane which he had himself presented to Henry Jekyll. It was another link in the chain Utterson took an officer to the address which Hyde had given. The latter was not at home. The house was empty, and nothing was to be seen except a pile of ashes on the hearth as if many papers had been burned. Among these the detective discovered a partially burned checkbook. Following this clue they located several thousand pounds at certain bank. Hyde did not claim the money. He had gone away, swiftly and safely. The next step was to visit the sinister house, which was in truth a part of Jekyll's property and known as "The Laboratory." Light fell

his men to discuss matters fully, in an honest heart-to-heart effort to get matters right, is just as unreasonable and illogical as the sympathetic strike which takes thousands of men from jobs that are satisfactory, In order to force the observance of some technical point between one employer and a few score or a few hundred of his men. Not all employers in these days are intolerant czars and tyrants. Those who are will, by their own stubbornness, count themselves out before long, and will have to make way for men who believe in and practice a spirit of fairmindedness. But the many who are human surely deserve the consideration and cooperation of their men. One thing is absolutely certain: The advocates of Bolshevistic and I. W. W. principles only throw monkey wrenches in the gears, and can never get their followers any where but into trouble. Even though they sincerely believe in what they advocate, they are like a packinghouse butcher trying to perform a delicate operation on a man's eye; he means well enough, but the patient is pretty certain to Jose his sight.

room lighted by three iron barred windows which looked on a court. A fire burned in the grate, and there, cowering close to it, sat Dr. Jekyll, looking deathly sick. He held out a cold hand. Utterson asked if he had heard the news. Jekyll replied that he had heard it cried in the street. Utterson said: "Carew is my client, but so are you. and I want to know what I am doing. Are you hiding this murderer?" Jekyll swore that he was- not but added, "He is safe quite safe. He will never more be heard of." He showed Utterson a letter from Hyde in a queer, upright handwriting. As he went out Utterson asked Poole about the man who had brought the letter to his master. Poole was sure no letter had been handed in. The letter must have come in by the way of the laboratory. Utterson's clerk, an expert in handwriting, put the two letters side by side. After careful study he said: "The twohand-.

man this is a kind of dwarf." They decide to break down the door. Poole said: "Once I heard it weeping." This added to the error and mystery. They stood before the door and Utterson demanded entrance. A voice from within cried: "For God's sake

have mercy." I "That is not Jekyll's voice it is ; Hyde's," shouted Utterson, and swung his axe against the door. Shattering the lock they rushed in. On the floor lay the form of a man ; contorted and twitching. They drew near and turned the body on its back. It was Edward Hyde, and by his side ; was an empty vial. He was dead. ' Jekyll was not to be found, but the ! dead Hyde was dressed in what seemed to be a suit of Jekyll's clothes much too large for bim.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

THE BUSINESS OF BEING SQUARE Ever since we were school folks we have had it drummed into our ears that "honesty is the best policy." But, as a matter of fact, honesty isn't a pfllicy. It's just straightforward business. It isn't policy to breathe, because it is natural for us to breathe and the most natural thing in the world is for a man to be honest. No one really wants to be dishonest. So that the business of being square, after all. is really plain and simple. The desire to be square lives within the heart of everyone. When a man is not square It is not because he does not desire to be, but because of environment, or something, which has made his moral fibre sick. And such a man should be treated not blamed or punished or jailed. No matter what the circumstance, it always pays to be square. Not in a money way, merely, but in the satisfaction way. No one ever got very far by being mean or crooked or unfair. And the man who practices these things hurts himself the most. You can't hurt the other fellow by abusing him. The essence of the Golden Rule is Just to be square. That's all. And It isn't boast or hypocrisy or anything like that, but what everybody, poor, irch, or unlearned most desires to be. Sometimes I think that the man who tries hardest to be square Is the one most misjudged. I guess that is because the natural proceeding is always the most unusual these days. But never mind. It's the right thing so always do your best to be Just as Square as you know how.
