That la the belief of tiie women of Atlanta. Ga.. and pursuant to their conviction they have dedicated two days In the year to the broom, the rake and the mop. From breakfast lime to twilight they work in every nook and crevice of (he town, driving out dirt In all its thousands of forms. Dirt Is an evil witch, they say. It must be exorcised. It Is n<> fanciful project, no fad. It has been undertaken by the Atlanta Federation of Women's Clubs in a thoroughly organized and practical manner. This plan was tried and proved such an excellent thing that it has Isen perpetuated in a semi­ annual custom, recurring every spring and autumu. And the federation calls upon each woman Iu Atlanta to joiu for a day at least In ««'ring how spot­ less every inch of Atlanta can t>c made. The men, too, are urged to cu­ ter the ranks. In each of the ten wants a standing committee of eighteen ladles has tieeu appointed to direct the campaign. The first thing the members of these com­ mittees do is to aee that their own back yards arc free of trash and that no scraps of paper or old tin cans clut­ ter their own sidewalks and streets. Then they tactfully try to spread this back yard gospel. They also try to get every groceryman to keep the cabbage leaves and chicken feathers and muck of all kinds away from bis shop door and alley, and every lady In the neighborhood lends her ahi. They don't interfere with any cor­ poration or individual. What they want to do Is to help them and there­ by better the entire city. The time has passed long ago when It was suffl cient for the citizens to keep their bouses trim on the Inside and front lawu clean. It is uow equally Impor­ tant to keep the laick yard and the alley clean. Citizens should keep the sidewalks and the middle of the street clean. They should not think of their immediate selves and affairs, but should by nil means operate and work for the entire city. That Is the dom­ inant spirit of cleaning up day.
