There is not anything that will attract the attention of a r- son going into a strange pla much as the general apH-aranee of the place.

If on the other hand, KMir walks, no walks, ditches full of foul and impure water, weeds and brush in vacant lots and along walks, it denotes a spirit of slothfulness and "don't care," which is certainly a det riment to any community in which it exists.
