ANOTHER BONUS BILL PROPOSED IN THE SENATE Senator Bursum Sponsors Measure Un- der Which Veterans Would Receive Half Cash and Half in Certificates WASHINGTON, May 12.—A substitute soldiers bill, un- fler which veterans would receive 50 per cent cash payments, as introduced today by Senator Bursum, Republican, New exico, and referred to the senate finance committee. The balance due to veterans would be covered by certifi- tates of indebtedness payable September 30, 1927, and the BOSSIP REGARDING LATE. | csnens in AAIDS 1S CORRECTED Aside from the cash and certificate option, veterans would be permitted to Dr. J.

That is my first duty, but from the health standpoint alone, no man, own- er or tenant, can say that he bas no interest in the property conditions of his neighborhood. e Health Not the Only Reason. But health ts not the only reason for this campaign. The clean city is the beautiful city, the attractive city, and therefore the prosperous city. Just as it is necessary for th» individ- ual to keep himself clean and his cloth- ing looking well if he wants to be well received and do business, so it is neces- sary for a city to present 2 ciean anc attractive appearance. There are slov- enly persons 2nd to thoir own harm, just as there are cities that are slov- enly to their own detriment. Such persons should know the harm they are deing themselves in their lack of yersonal pride. So also the civic pride of a community's citizens noodz to be aroused. Indeed that again is the Sreat idea, to ret the le to go into the campaign th a spirit of awakened loyalty to thelr town as much as, or more than, for the bene- fit in health and living conditions and the preservation and increase of their property values.

But this power of community sentiment works wonders in stimulating the improvement of neglected premises. There is such a thing as arousing civic pride and a sense of neighborhood duty in the minds of thoughtless and negligent citizens, and nothing ever has been so successful in doing this as this Clean-up and Paint-up campuign, The power of this great idea is tremen-| dous in that respect. z aves Cincinnati $850,000 a Year, spoke of the annual saving of} millions of dollars of the people's money through this campaign.

Houses, like men, are judged by their associates. The way to have good neighbors is to be a good neighbor. The Women Mado the Campaign. This idea never would have proved its power but for the women and their love for cleanliness and beauty, their Public spirit and thelr practical en ergy. They appreciate the city beau- tful. Clean streets bordered by shade trees, well-kept yards with lawns and flowers, vacant lots culti- vated in thrift gardens, appeal to them. They may not think so much as do the men of the business advan- tages, of preservation or increase of property values, of the inducement for new industries, and new residents. But their innate love of cleanliness and orderliness and beauty makes the ‘women the most aggressive organizers and workers in this campaign. Women's clubs ‘have supplies some of the most zeajous and successful managers of the campaign details. In many cities where this campaign is an established institution, conducted regularly from year to year, its steady, continuous inspiration comes from the women. They hold the ini- tiative, keep the men’s organizations and the city authorities starting new features of the work, and then keep right along with them in doing it.| “Paint a neglected back yard or ‘Women are not only idealists, but| Vacant lot,” said Mayor Henry W. they are practicalists in behalf of| Kiel, of St. Louis, “with the green their ideals, and for that reason this| Of grass or shrubbery or a thrift gar- I campaign with its means for arousing! den, or publicly commit it to any community co-operation finds in them other useful purpose and it will not its most earnest promoters. revert to its former disorderliness During the great war, especially, Otherwise it inevitably and speedily @uring its !ast two years, the women | will do so.” of “America were immersed in the| In household and neighborhood and many forms of war work and had lit-|community cleanliness there is no tle time to devote to local civic mat-!such constantly impelling incentive as ters.

This great idea does not stop with getting the city cleaned up. Its orig inator did not quit thinking there; he thought it clear through to the end, to “keeping it clean.” He said “What's the use of urging a seedy, unkeupt unfortunate, almost a down- and-outer, to “Take a bath” unless the man is certain to go further and wholly restore himself, and publicly commit himself to self-respect and its maintenance in all its forms? There must be the basis of physical fitness in condition and appearance to justify his self-respect and that basis must be so substantial and visible to all as to be a constant incentive to stay clean and presentable. Accordingly, he must adjure his old and seedy gar- mats and clothe himself in new ha biliments that reflect his restored self respect, that publicly pledge him to its continued maintenance, and that are a constant actual Incentive for his observance of all the things necessary thereto.
