Mrs. Edith W. Pierre. Philadelphia's
Street Cleaner.
MRS. EDITH W. PIERCE Is the only
woman street cleaner in the United
States. She is employed by the city of
Philadelphia. That she may conduct
her work with authority, she has been
made a special police officer. She is
the only woman in the Quaker City that
wears the police badge. Her duties
include the inspection of all work done
by the regular street sweepers and the
securing of co-operation of housekeep
ers. Mrs. Pierce is assisted in her work by
10,000 school children of Philadelphia.
Her assistants are organized under the
title Junior Sanitation League. Each
wears a badge inscribed with the seal
of the city, the name of the organiza
tion and the legend, "For Clean Phila
delphia Streets." Each child is fur
nished with a little book containing
simply stated instructions for volunteer
inspectors. The books contain the rules
of the city governing the dispostion of
rubbish, garbage, ashes and paper.
Each child makes a written report
for Mrs. Pierce by means of form cards.
These reports tell of the conditions to
be found in various parts of Philadel
phia. The holder of the card reports
the locality of rubbish, filthy cellars,
leaky drain pipes, dirty alleys and all
other conditions that mar the sanita
tion of Philadelphia. It also contains
the name and address of the member
of the league who makes the report.
In this way Mrs. Pierce is constantly
aware of the conditions all over the
city and when they seem sufficiently
.bad she makes a personal tour of in
spection. Sometimes it is necessary to
call upon the property holders and ex
plain., the possible spread of disease
through dirty surroundings.
The Junior Sanitation League is di
vided Into five parts and assigned to
as many different parts of Philadelphia,
confining the children to the neighbor
hoods in which they live. From time

spect and instead of being expected to
listen to lengthy addresses they ex
change views with the chief official
freely and honestly. He listens re
spectfully to their observations and
they accept his advice. Sometimes
etereopticon lectures are given and the
actual work that has been done by the
organization is shown to the children.
Pictures are .taken before and after the
cleaning up process has been conducted.
In addition to the active work that
Mrs. Pierce has succeeded in having her
boys and girls do, the effect -of the or
ganization upon the children themselves
is noteworthy. The child, who is inter
ested in promoting a cleaner , city
through others will not himself make
the streets unnecessarily dirty by
throwing rubbish upon them or scat
tering paper about.
Mrs. Pierce contends that she is not
only promoting a cleaner city for the
present generation, but that she is in
fluencing a growing generation that
will not need to be taught the rules of
sanitation when it has become mature.
The city agrees with Mrs. Pierce in her
attitude and since her appointment in
1914 officials have shown a constantly
decreasing inclination to dispense with
her services.

Rebecca's Strategy.
RACHEL was a very large black and
white duck. She lived on Hill Top
Farm, away up in Vermont. Beckey
and Ikey also lived on Hill Top Farm.
Beckey was a brown speckled duck and
Ikey was a drake whose feathers were
white and tan color.
Beckey was lame and sometimes she
would lie down in the cool grass to
rest and Ikey and. Rachel would be
so interested in talking they would not
misx her. Suddenly Rachel would
look behind and not seeing her friend
she would quack to Ikey, who would
stretch his neck and look all around.
Then , both would waddle hack
quacking as the; went. Beckey would
wait until they almost reached the
spot where she was resting and then
she would slowly rise and limp toward
them.
But one day all this changed. ' A
big box arrived and Solomon and fif
teen ducks took up their abode at Hill
Top Farm.
Ikey, Rachel and Beckey watched
them as they waddled in a line around
the farm, looking over their new
heme.
"Those- ducks are skinny looking
creatures," remarked Rachel, who was
almost as large as two ordinary ducks.
"If Beckey was not lame she would
be larger than any of them."
"Solomon is rather a. handsome fel
low," said Beckey, who had heard
Farmer Henry call Solomon by name
when he flew out of the box.
"He isn't any hondsomer than
Ikey," retorted RacheL
Ikey all this time had maintained
a dignified silence, but he kept his
eyes on the pretty little ducks that
had arrived with Solomon, and as soon
as he could he slipped away from
Beckey and Rachel and Joined the
newcomers.
As I have told you, Rachel was old
and Beckey was lame, and when from
under a currant bush where they
were resting they saw Ikey waddling
along with Solomon and his young
family they felt a pang shoot through
their feathered breasts.
"Anyway, I don't believe any one
of them can lay such fine eggs as you
can. Rachel," said Beckey, who looked
upon Rachel as beyond compare since
tho morning an ec? of extra size had
been found in Rachel's nest.
Rachel stood up, stretched her
wings and shook out her tail feathers.
"No. I do not expect they can," she
said, "and I'll show them a larger one
than the one you saw.
"They needn't think they ean come
here and waddle around as though
they owned the farm just because they
are younger than we. They will soon
find out that the duck that can lay
the largest egg is the one who holds
sway here."
A few days later Ikey. Rachel and
Beckey wwe taking a walk. In the
distance Rachel saw Solomon and his
young family. "Don't you think we
had better speak to them?" . she asked
Ikey. "We do not need to associate
with them, but I think. It would be
wise to be on bowing terms."
The rain began to fall Just then, and
as Solomon and his family waddled
along Rachel remarked: "Isn't this
beautiful weather?"
Solomon and his family stopped.
and they gathered around Rachel, who
was much the largest of the group.
But Rachel saw Ikey on the outside
of the group talking to one of the new
ducks. "Here, Ikey," she said with a
good-natured quack, "you talk to Solo
mon. I want to talk to the ducks
about the eggs they are laying. Such
a fine-looking lot of ducks must be
giving farmer Henry a nice lot of
eggs."
Ikey waddled over to Solomon, and
the ducks drew closer to Rachel. Sud
dpnly she said in a very loud voice:
"Come with me and, let me show you
Just what Farmer Henry expects."
Ikey and Solomon lifted their heads
and saw Rachel with all the ' new
ducks following her leading the way
to the place where Rachel had her
nest.
Solompn and Ikey followed, and
when they were all around the nest
Rachel pushed aside some straw that
was over it and displayed the largest
duck egg any of them had ever seen.
The young ducks were speechless
with admiration, but Solomon man
aged to gasp: "Did you lay that?"
"Of course I did," remarked Rachel.
That afternoon when Rachel and
Beckey were sitting under the currant
bush Beckey asked: "Where is Ikey?"
"He is not far away," laughed Ra
chel. "He heard Solomon ask me if
I didn't think their duck house was
a better place to live in than ours, and
Ikey has kept close watch since then
that Solomon did not get another
chance to" talk to me alone.
"You.wili not see him walking with
those young ducks "any more. N He
knows that the duck that lays the
largest egg in Vermont is not to be
slighted."
"Quack., quack," called Ikey, wad
dling toward the currant bush.
"Here we are under the bush."
quacked Rachel.
"Oh!" quacked Ikey, with a sigh of
relief.
.Rachel gave Beckey a little tap with
her bill. "He thought we had gone
walking with Solomon." she quacked;
"there is nothing like a little stratearv
to bring about the situation you most
desire."
