Clean Dp and Paint Dp?
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. I ,
Ktween ourselves, there's room for
?B". on lots of paint here in OurHnvn.
Well applied, in colors, judi^ jfusly
selected, it would conceal a
Egg Kiult.tuile of architectural and sanitary
^^?!ns from the discerning eyes of tourists
passing this way and from ourselves.
Look over your OWN house, or
home, or business structure.

Clean Up and Paint Up
to Reduce Fire Hazarc
THE Indiana Stato Fire Marshal de
clares that every city and towr
should conduct "Clean Up and Painl
as important a fire preventative as it
the removal of rubbish from garrets
and areaways. 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.

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.
