'Regular Cleaning Up
’ for American Cities
American cities are getting their
‘faces scrubbed, and a new Industry is
rapidly assuming very interesting pro
‘portions, says Merle Thorpe in Na
tion's Business Magazine. Send your
office building to the laundry, and get
it back by Saturday night, nicely
‘washed and ironed! Washington, a
number of northern municipalities,
and, in the South, Atlanta, and other
cities, are going in for cleanliness, and
as the dingy buildings skake off their
Soot and dust, and emerge with shin
ing facades, all dolled up and well
lathered behind the ears, one has to
rub his eyes to recognize his own
home town.
. In Washington, for example, a new
white city, spick and span, is coming
into view by the magiec of soap and
water, and within the past year, the
Erustic beauty of the nation’s capital
as been greatly enhanced. It costs
saround $2,500 to steam clean and
press an office building of average
sizs, while the job of spicking and
spanning up the treasury or the Union
station might run up as high as $12,-
000. It is worth it. Beauty and clean
liness are real assets to any commuye
nity.
Retain Roadside in
Its Natural Beauty
The problems of attractive commu
hities in advertising their recreational
and residence advantages should be
linked up in the mind of the commu
nity authorities with the advisability
of protecting the town’s beauty by
keeping the roadsides approaching it
free from everything but their natural
beauty, according to a report which
has just been made by the Division of
Housing and Town Planning for the
commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
building of a new main highway is
not merely an engineering problem,
On the contrary, it is primarily a so
cial and economie problem, a problem
of killing or making the region, the
report holds.
“A region rendered uninhabited ex
cept by filling stations, hot-dog stands
and billboards is blighted, not helped,”
the report says. “Let a town, partic
ularly what we call a good summer
town, protect every residence by a
good zoning plan, and keep its road
sides free from everything but their
natural beauty, and the whole country
will know that town. No town differ
ently treated can compete with it.—
Detroit News.
Beauty in Common Brick
No dther exterior material offers
such a rich variety of colors as the
common brick. And color is impera
tive in present-day homes. Nor IS any
other so adaptable in the working out
of softened textural effects. The com
mon brick is in a class by itself in
this respect. Other brick stress their
uniformity of color and texture, Com
mon brick are never alike; always
there is a pronounced variation not
only in color tones but in texture and
form. They burn unevenly, their lines
are irregular, their fire flashings never
the sameé, And in these ever-present
variations lie their greatest charm.—
Building Economy,
Prohibits Overcrowding
An attempt t» limit the density of
population in residence areas is made
in a unique building code restriction
adopted by the city of Madison, N. J.,
& suburban community which is at
tempting to protect itself against the
piling up of congestion in its resi
dence sections,
An amendrient to the building code
prohibits the erection in any part of
that community of buildings to house
more than one family for each 2,500
square feet cf lot area. This Is equiv
algnt to limiting the maximum dens
ity of population to 17 familles to the
acre,
Qualities Needed in Roof
A roof that is tricky is to be de
spised. It Is to be made over, It can't
g 0 on with its undependable charac
ter, The worst thing about a defec
tive roof is that its meanness will
show when least expected and least
desired.
There are artistic roofs that en
dure. Beauty and utility will be found
the winning team In any building
proposition, Nothing sets off a domi
clle to such good advantage as a top
that Is plcturesque, But it must be
waterproof and fire-resisting as well,

Thanksgiving day is the oldest of
American national festivities, Inde
pendence day, though coeval with and
commemorative of our national natal
day, boasts only a respectable antiq
uity of a century and a half, but an
other century ar * a half must be add
ed to carry us backward to the his
torical origin of the day that we have
nationally dedicated to prayer and
thanksgiving—to the days of bluff
Governor Bradford and to the first
struggling colony of herolc pilgrims.
It was in this cradle of our common
wealth that the observance of a day
of thanks was first nurtured on ogr
goil, though its inspiration was
brought from lands across the seas
and probably threaded human history
back to the plains of Palestine when
the psalmists of Israel praised the
Lord in song for the bounties of
earth,
First Thanksgiving.
Benjamin I'ranklin tells us that, in
a time of great despondency among
the first settlers of New England, it
was proposed in one of their public
meetings to proclaim a fast. An aged
farmer arose and spoke of their pro
voking Heaven with their compliments
and of the many mercies they
had already received and of the many
causes they had for tQanksggiving. He
then made a motion that instead of
appointing a day of fasting, they
should appoint a day of thanksgiving.
To this the assembly agreed.
The first Thanksgiving day was kept
amid circumstances most unpropitious
and with gaunt famine hovering over
the rude and cheerless dwellings of
that little colony. The summer of
1621, following the landing at Ply
mouth, yielded bus a scanty harvest
and unless speedy supplies came from
Europe the sturdy Colonists foresaw
that they would be reduced to the
point of starvation. Yet, amid such
surroundings as these, we learn from
the old chronicles that Governor Brad
ford, “the harvest being gotten in,
sent four men out on fowling, so that
we might, after a more special man
ner, rejoice together after we had
gathered the fruits of our labors.”
And thus,
While sickness lurked and death as
sailed
And foes beset on every hand,
the first governor of New England in
stituted the American Harvest Home
and celebrated the first New Kngland
Thanksgiving day.
Many “Thankful” Days.
The old Colonial records also tell of
the appointment of Thanksgiving
days, for various causes, in the Mas
sachusetts Bay colony, in the years
1633, 1634, 1637, 1638 and 1639, In
Plymouth colony similar publicly de
clared observances took place in 1651,
1668, and in 1680, when the tenor of
the proclamation seems to indicate
that it had then become a settled
yearly custom.
The Massachusetts Bay colony was
the first to appoint an annual Thanks
glving day by the proclamation of the
English governor, During the Revolu
tion, Thanksgiving day became a na
tional Amaerican institution, being an
nually recommendgd by congress, but
after the general thanksgiving for
peace, in 1784, there was no national
appointment until 1789, when Wash-

Washington I§sued a second proclama
tion of thanksgiving in 1995, on ac
count of the suppression of insurrec
tion. President Madison, by request
of congress, recommended a thanks
giving for peace im 1815, at the con
clusion of the War of 1812. But the
official recommendation of a day for
the giving of thanks was mainly con
fined to New England, until 1817,
after which date it was regularly ap
pointed also by the governor of New
York. The Dutch governors of the
New Netherlands had proclaimed
thanksgiving days in 1644, 1645, 1655
and 1664 and in 1755 and 1760 a day
was similarly designated by the Eng
iish governor of New York.

well as by the governors of the sev

Custom has fixed the time for
Thanksgiving day as the last Thurs
day in November, but up to 1864 thera
was no uniformity as to the date of
the observance and Presidents and
governors followed no fixed rules in
setting a day apart, each state decid
ing its own Thanksgiving day. Thanks«
giving day was long in settling down
to its present fixity of day and sea

municipality of the old time once
postponed the celebration of the day
for a week, “in order to get molasses
with which to sweeten the pumpkin
pies.”—Kansas City Times.
