ee _ SATURDAY, NOV. 16, 1918 ITALIAN TOWN TAKES DAY OFF TO SWEEP OUT Cleanup Inaugurated in Con- Janction with Red Cross to Fight Influenza Epidemic (By United’ Press) AVELLINO, Italy, Oct. 18.— (B: Mail)—All over Italy men and wom of the American Red Cross are a the Italian authorities in their fi against the present epidemic of Span- ish influenza. The “fever” came to Avellino, as it came to hundreds of other towns and cities in southern Italy—over night, as it were, laying entire families low. Father, mother, babies and grandmother, down they all came with it, and where ri was slight and proper care unc able, the results were often serious A high short fever, aches and pains, and then recovery — or, where the danger lay, an attack of pneumonia. That is how panish Fever” is cur- rently described by those who know and many, through ex perience, know in Italy today. But the germ of Spanish Fever is only a ge after all, like other germs, and uch, far from immor- tal. Soap and water early make it sicken, and whitewash, as a finishing touch, deals its death blow. Mrs. Gian Centanini, wife of the-A. R. C. repre- sentative in the Avellino district, back from Nap) whose home town Louis, Mo., is quite aware of this ft damental tipathy of germ nd cleanliness, and at the first appear- ance of the fever in Avellino, proceed ed to organize the “banditti,” or hoodlums of Avellino, into street- cleaning and white-washing squ Mrs. Centanini formerly sang Metropolitan Opera Co., New and her husband was secretary of the Metropolitan Opera Co. for 4 years Mrs. Centanini’s stage name was Jane Noria. Never has the quaint old town of Avellino seen sach “goins-on” in her ; dark; cobbled streets, as when the big housecleaning started. The first squad composed of the younger boys, their rags floating before and behind them, set to work with broems fashioned by themselves—a hundle of twigs tied to a stout handle, Others were de tailed to carry eff the rubbish, soon heaped in piles by the wiélders of the brooms, in wheelless wheelbarrows, also made by the boys ‘themselves— boxes with shaft-like handles, of two boy-power. Then came a squad of women in uniform led by A. R. C. workers. These disinfected homes and burned up oltf® nrattressés “and germ-laden refuse. Last of all came a squad of oldet boys with whitewash —Surely Tom Sawyer’s backyard fence.couldn’t have excelled in white- ness and in finish the work of these boys—-boys, a good many of them, who had never worked before in their lives. They went at it with a pride and vigor that soon accomplished wonders. They fairly swept down one narrow winding street and up anoth- er, leaving a glistening coat of white behind them—across the road and up three feet on the walls of the dwell- ings adjoining. The boys were rewarded with noon- day meals at the soup kitchen of the Red Cross in Avellino, and a soldo or two besides. But it is the knowledge that the epidemic is already decreas- ing in the swept and whitewashed dis- trict, that pleases and _ encourages them most. After their soup is eaten all sitting cross-legged in the hallway of the A. R. C. headquarters, thev grasp their brooms, their pails of whitewash and their brushes, and set off to continue their present “mission in life.” Grimy, ragged acoly es of cleanliness, they bear their shining standard through the streets of a town that has known them as “regu- lar little bandits” or “hopeless good- for-nothings.”” a Robert M.

The base of the statue wiis so shattered that it hung over the main road from Amiens te Bapaume which passed the walls of the church.
