Get Behind the Brush SPRINGTIME has at last come to stay, to prepare all nature for summer's flowers and the autumn's harvest Even the abject stir about their wretched premises, plant morning glories and try their best to fix up the leauing pickets left from the kindling needs of the later frosty mornings. Good housewives tie towels about their heads, gird up their narrow skirts and chase the dust of winter from their rooms. The laziest pick and trifle with their belongings to fix themselves better to face the changing seasons. "Clean up!" is the phrase. Why not enlarge it? Why not "paint up?" - j i | 'And if "paint up." why not do it so it will LAST nnrt PAW Painting is another "art preserva^ tive." Rightly done. It saves repair, adds to length of property-life, in ^F.\creaaes propertv-attractlvity, brings to B^^ie tenant's lips the pleased smile, to Bk^j^yightcous landlord the wholesome IP HVig of duty wfcll performed.

He is therefore strong !y urging "Clean Up and Paint Up' weeks for every city in the state. "Inspections in the larger cities," says the Indiana Fire Marshal, "show that about 10 per cent of all buildings and premises within business districts are being endangered by rubbish Though the residence districts have not been inspected, the proportion, no doubt, is just as lafge. . One of the most effective fire preventatives is clean and tidy premises, both in bust ness houses and in dwellings." The Fire Marshal is advising every where the painting of the shingle roof. "Paint not only makes shingles more durable," says the Fire Marshal, "but it acts as a fire preventative as well, By covering and protecting the fuzzy Hplinters that form on the outer snr face of shingles, the paint greatly re duces the likelihood of fire from fall inp sparks." Scores of Indiana cities are follow log the hire Marshal's advice this year. A "Clean Up and Paint Up' campagn will reduce fire losses in Ourtown. if Up" for Homes a 7} jj^ Club Women Work to Clean Dp and Paint Up Five Thousand Cities CIVIC LEADERS PUT BAN ON PINK TEAS. "Clean Yards, a Few Shrubs and Flowers, and. a Little Paint, for a Better Hometown"? Mrs. Clarence Baxter. THAT the club women of America are not waiting for full suffrage ! before taking an active part in civic betterment work is proven by the earnest elTorts of thousand* of women in local "Clean Up and Paint ! Up" campaigns in practlcully every ; slate in the Union. "The men are too i busy, or too chesty," said one of these j women, "to see the need of or to do | simple heautification and sanitation j work. And yet that work ib vital to ' tiie health of thousands and to the progress of the community in better | living conditions to keep pace with ! increasing population." "There was a time," she continued, i "when pink leas ami gossip character- i ized our local club meetings. But that time is past. There are a million things for the betterment of the town that we are able to do, and we are trying to do them as fast as we can get to them. The 'Clean Up and I'aint Up' campaign, in which we are working shoulder to shoulder with the men, embodies a big batch of improvements we have had in mind. i ins campaign seems 10 ue a ior(uuato combination of ideals, 'Clean Up' and 'Paint Up.' It Rives us work 10 do now, with a deiinite program to start, things off, and with absolutely no end of possibilities in permanent constructive effort. And the best of it" is that tliis campaign simply forces the men to work with us. A successlul campaign means an Increased demand for many kinds of merchandise, means conservation of property, means Increased realty values?it means a better business town and a better homo town. Why shouldn't the men 'lend a hand?" And tliis woman is not nlone in her I enthusiasm. Mrs. Clarence Baxter, J chairman of the Women's Committee of tlio National "Clean Up and Paint 1 Up" Campaign Bureau, St. Bonis, has seen her home town, KirksvlUe, Mo., i refurbished from the city hall to corporation limits entirely through the earnest work of a group of women. As ; chairman of the civic and health department of tlie Missouri Federation | of Women's Clubs, and as vice chairIman of the civics department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, . Mrs. Baxter is inspiring and advising thousands of club women in similar - j work. She will be glad to write to i and advise others. I Mrs. George Zimmerman, of Fre, ' ntont, O., chairman of the civics department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, heartily endorses ' - the national "Clean Up and Paint Up" ' movement, and is a member of the t n^vlcurv onnin?l<*oA r\ f .uv?? j vvuiuuuvc ui tuo naiiuiirti r j Bureau. i i The civics departments of several , state federations of women's clubs . have already arranged for state-wide "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns i this year, with a definite week's pro'. grain to start the hall rolling. ' j One man who always was harping on the old saw, "Woman's place is in ' the home," 1ms not been heard from ' since a year ago when his wife led in a "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam! paign which practically regenerated the town. The good woman repairedand painted a piece of vacant prop1 erty belonging to her husband, prop1 erty that had been a drain on his purse for ten years. She had to fix the j i place up, she said, because she was preaching "Clean Up. Paint Up, Repair," to others, and she believed in j practicing what she preached. After criticising his wife for her public activity, and especially for spending real 1 money on "that old shack," the husband was sorely chagrined one day to receive an offer of $600 more for llio property than his former valuation. He made the sale, and shut up. Tills year lie 1h the heaviest contributor to that local "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign fund. , De Quiz?What do you call the ' man that drives an automobile?
