a rreat amount of Inconsistency amons
all sorts of minds. Of lata 1 ha hnl
occasion to go house-huntln Trh vnrlous

brought to my attention One of them w
a mechanic. We visited a number of new

HBNP.Y T HAINES,
Philadelphia, October 23, 1020.
"WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT A
MOTHER?"
What Is home without a mother.
What are alt tho Joys we meet.
Where her loving smile no longer
Oreets the coming, coming of our feet?
The days seem long, tho nights are drear,
And time rolls slowly on:
And. oh. how few are childhood s pleasures
When her gentle, gentlo care Is gonel
Things we prlre are first to tantsh.
Hearts we lovo to pass away.
And how soon e'en In our childhood
We behold ber turning, turning grayl
Her eses grow dim, h"r step Is slow,
Her Joss of earth are past.
And sometimes ere wo learn to know her
She has breathed on earth, on earth, her
last.
Older hearts may have their sorrows,
Orlefa that quickly die away:
Uut, a mother lost In childhood
Orleves the heart, the heart, from day to
day.
W miss her kind, her willing hand
Her fond and earnest care.
And oh. how dark Is life around usl
What Is homo without, without her
there 7

Once Was Fambus
j
As Being the CLEANEST CITY in America
HISTORIANS relate that nearly a hundred years ago, the
old city was famous, both at home and abroad, as being
the cleanest city in America.
From 1789 to 1826 the city area had been cleaned i
by contract, but in 1826 the corporation undertook to
do its own street cleaning.
Such excellent results were obtained from mu
nicipal operation that Philadelphia's clean streets
received world-wide fame.
Do you want Philadelphia to be famous again
for its clean streets?
xperienc6 has proved repeatedly that to have clean streets we must clean
them ourselves with municipal forces.
Would you like to hear Philadelphia
as well as Washington, D. C,
spoken of as a clean city?
Nearly ten years ago Washington substituted municipal
street cleaning for contract work. Today a mention of the
city's name recalls to mind clean and unlittered streets.
New York cleans her streets municipally; Chicago cleans
her streets municipally; Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Bos
ton, Baltimore, Buffalo even Pittsburgh, in our own Com
monwealth clean their streets municipally.
Street cleaning by municipal forces is NOT AN EXPERIMENT.
The City Charter requires municipal street cleaning in 1921 unless it is set aside by the vote of eleven
councilmen with the approval of the Mayor.
The Administration's plan for next year is to clean TWO out of THIRTEEN districts by municipal
forces. Equipment for these districts is now being purchased.
But Philadelphia, though her hands are freed by the new charter, still hesitates to throw over contract
street cleaning entirely.
You want clean streets, but are you willing to do your part ?
You can help
( 1 ) By insisting that your councilman vote and work toward full municipal street cleaning at the
earliest possible moment.
(2) By making proper disposal of all your own refuse, so as to reduce the necessary street cleaning
work.
(3) By combining your interest and efforts with 2000 other citizens in the Bureau of Municipal
Research, a firmly established citizen agency which is working full time to improve municipal
government and obtain spotless streets.
