" SPRINKLE PAVEMENTS BEFORE SWEEPING; DON'T RAISE CLOUDS OF DUST Councilman Dr. Trinkle Starts Campaign to Eliminate Dan ger of Disease and Annoy ance to Public MAY ENACT ORDINANCE Sweeping Streets Without Sprinkling IS an offense against the If 'f which "white wings" arc stHne times guilty. If you sec such a case call the Electrical Bureau and ask for the Highway Bureau. State tho locality in which the vio lation was committed and the iden tity of the complainant will not bu revealed. Dr. W. W. Trinkle, Common Council man from tho Twentieth Ward, announced today that ho Intended to Introduce nn ordl nanco requiring all persons, housewives In cluded; to sprlnkto tholr pavements before they sweep them. This would bo a part of a campaign undertaken by tho city to rcduco the tremendous amount of dust which flics about tho city streets. ThO Bureau ot Highways has printed thousands of circulars asking housekeepers to cover nil rubbish receptacles, that tho dust from the refuse will not be scattered about tho hlghwnys. In view of tho present plague of Infantile, paralysis nnd tho theory of many physicians that tho disease is carried by the dust, all departments of the city government will turn their efforts to ward a possible prevention Of this condi tion. "I believe," said Doctor Trinkle, "that any effort to eliminate dust In a largo city Is a good move. Tho ordinance, which has been suggested to mo nnd which I would willingly Introduce, would not In volve any great hardship for tho Individual citizens and at tho samo tlmo It would do much to Improve tho sanitary condition ot Philadelphia. I prefer, however, that Dr. Wllmcr D. Krusen, Director of tho Depart ment of Health and Charities, should rec ommond this ordinance. "Any word from him In Its favor would assure Its passage. I could Introduce It upon tho director's official recommenda tion and Councils, I believe, would act accordingly." In view of Director Krusen's well-known attitude toward tho dust question thero Is little doubt that ho will recommend tho ordinance proposed. Doctor Kru3en, In his public statements, has repeatedly pointed out tho danger that lurks in tho dust that Is swept from tho pavemerjts and streets nnd flies from the ash boxes. At tho offices of tho Bureau of Highways today It was explained that all streefclean Ing contractors must sprinkle tho highways before sweeping. An ordinance of Councils requires this precaution and fixes a flno of "Jl per square or part of square for each case" In which the regulation Is violated. This stringent lule is applied In tho clean ing of streets, but n6 such restriction ap plies to private citizens In cleaning side walks. "While .great Bums of money are expended to clean the streets housekeepers are permitted to raise clouds of dust, a mcurce to health, and to swe.ep this dust Into tho highways. This is a condition which the Bureau of Highways Is seeking to correct and which would be eliminated by the ordinance which Doctor Trinkle pro poses to Introduce. 31AY0R REBUKES GROCER Man Who Threatened Wife of Soldier if She Didn't Pay Bill, Told Dis courtesy Was 'Unnecessary The wife of a soldier who was threat ened with Jail by a grocer If she. did not pay her bill appealed to Mayor Smith.

Tho men who operate the electric trains from Cnmdcn nnd over tho electrified Penn sylvania Main I.lno ns far nt Pnoll aro brotherhood members nnd would quit at tho drop of tho heat. The motorman on these trnlns. whoso tltlo probably misled tho elec tric train patron Into believing that the railway motnrman was of a species differ ent Irom engineers, firemen, conductors nnd hrakemen, Isn't a motormnn nt all, strictly speaking He's nn engineer nnd belongs to tho brotherhood The motormnnlsh, Jumper-clad operator of the electric train Is a full-fledged cngl nccr. Most of tho Pennsylvania Itallroad's motormen aro former steam railway engi neers nnd thoso who nro not wero required to pass nn examination ni steam railway engineer beforo they nero put In chargo of tunning nil electric train. This precaution wni taken with n view to emergencies when tho motor might rcfusa to work nnd tho operator in ght bo called upon to pilot his train Into tho station with a steam locomo tive. So the electric train offers no solution to tho thousands of senshore visitors and Main Lino commuters who have como to depend upon electricity for their traveling nnd who expected to find It a rod to lean upon in tho event of a strike. As the matter stands, tho electric lines nro not of sufficient growth to flguro large, ly In a strike of tho vast proportions that nre threatened. In this situation students of railroad operations said they saw an added nrgument for electrification of rail way lines. Tho substitution of strike breaking motormen for striking motormen Is n much simpler problem thnn the sub stitution of Btrlkc-brcaking engineers for striking engineers A motorman can learn his trade In much less tlmo than thnt re quired by an cnglncor to becomo proficient, although the Pennsylvania Railroad In time of "peace" has Insisted on Its motormen being more thnn drivers of motors. Because of tho small extent ot Its elec tric lines tho Pennsylvania Itallroad In Its preparation for a strlko has not .placed much dependence upon tho electrified por tion of its system terminating in Philadel phia. . j-' ii y t ii iff ii t i) t m t wnrmfTvrimrrimrTVTifTs.rTipt-mr'irnrTs.ryw !
