Sanitary Department Helps Club
Women and School Children in
City Beautiful Campaign.
Siu h a scrubbing, brushing and
furbishing Atlanta. Georgia's fairest
child, is getting to-day!
One dot s not need to be told Hint it
is th* annual “Clean-tfp Day." The
scenes about the city arc sufficient
evidence.
Brooms that have n*»t seen service
in months have been brought forth
to frisk about in corners, closets and
storage rooms that have not been ex
plored in as long a time.
Rubbish piles, grown to considerable
proportions, have disappeared like
magic. Back alleys, by-streets and
area-ways cluttered with sticks,
stones, torn newspapers and other
refuse, have been rendered spick and
span.
City Aids Grand Cleaning.
The big red wagons of the Depart
ment of Sanitation have been clatter
ing and rumbling to various and dis
tant parts of tho city under the di
rections of Thief Inspector John Jent-
y.en, who placed his department at
the command of the women of the
City Federation, who have recruited
the great army of city cleaners.
Just tell the people to call up
the department as fast as they got
their yards and districts cleaned and
w> will send one of our wagons," was
the unqualified offer of Mr. Jentzen
to Mrs. Charles J. Haden, president
of the Federation. And this offer • x-
tends over into next week.
Many of the litter-strewn yards al
ready have been transformed into
models of neatness and others are in
the process. Splashing the white
wash impartially on themselves and
on the fences and buildings, numerous
youths have been charged with the
task that gave Tom Sawyer Immor
tality.
Lime Used Where Needed.
Garbage accumulations have been
removed by the wagons of the Sani
tary Department and lime—barrels of
it—has been sprinkled whereat will do
the most good.
If James <5. Woodward does not
awake to-morrow and find himself
the Mayor of "Spotless Town" it will
not be the fault of the City Federa
tion of Women’s Flubs and the co
horts of, school children they have
enlisted in the cause.
The children, with the 40.000 pledge
*-arils given to them, proceeded to im
press their parents and other house
holders into the movement and to
day found men. women and children
in the work of cleaning up. The
women, right in their element—clean
ing house for the city were the mis
tresses of the situation and woe be
tide the man that dared dispute the
wisdom of their orders or do more
than venture a suggestion of his own.
Award Prizes Monday.
An account of the war against the
city's uncleanness will be taken Mon
day. In the headquarters of the
Chamber of Commerce, which has en
couraged the campaign by generous
prizes, the cards distributed to the
school children will be counted. The
school obtaining the most pledges in
proportion to its attendance will get
a prize of $50. A separate award of
the same amount has been offered to
the schools for negro children.
The city federation has offered a
prize of $10 to the individual woman
obtaining the most pledges to clean
up
All of the schools worked bard for
the $50 prize, but some worked hard
er than other. Among those in the
latter class was the Boulevard School.
The boys of this school have been
trying for months to get some bas-
ball grounds. The authorities, to make
the lads appreciate the grounds when
they get them, nave insisted that they
bear part of the expense. Therefore,
that $50 looks mighty good to them.

Declares Father Gave Her
Right to Take Child.
Declaring she is content so long as
she has her child, Mrs. A. H. Clark,
mother of Augustus Hamilton Clark,
Jr., has requested that the indict
ment on the charge of kidnupiug
against tin* child’s grandmother, Mrs.
G. S. Clark, of 1S4 Hill Street, be
quashed.
Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey* it is un
derstood, has agreed not to push the
case against the child’s grandmother,
and the warrant for her arrest, now
in the hands of the Sheriff, will not be
served.
Mrs. Clark, against whom the in
dictment has been sworn out. still
maintains her belief that she had a
perfect right to take the child away,
and says furthermore that both her
son an«l ln*r daughter-in-law con
sented to give her the child outright.
In talking of the case she displayed
a certificate signed by her son, Au
gustus H. Clark, before a notary pub
lic, vesting in her all his rights and
authority as father of the child. The
certificate is as follows:
"March 28. 1913.
"To Whom It May Concern:
"This is to certify that my mother,
Mrs. ir. S. Clark, has my full permis
sion to carry my son, Augustus Ham
ilton ('lark. Jr., away from Atlanta,
and that I hereby give to her all the
authority vested in me as his father
under the law.

Mrs. Clark says that, despite the
fact she believes she has a perfect
legal right to the child and that the
child's mother is not capable of taking
care of the little fellow, she will n >*
make any legal fight to regain pos
session. She sayg she believes it will
be only a short time before her
daughter-in-lawill be ready to turn
the boy iover to her.

REAL ESTATE
The Willingham Heal Estate
Agency reported to-day the sale of
188 West Peachtree Street, 50x110
feet, for W. E. Wimpy to a client for
$20,000, or at the rate of $400 a front
foot, including the value of a iwo-
story frame house. This property
is on the west side of the street at
the foot of Howard street, almost
directly opposite the West Peachtree
home of Senator Hoke Smith.
Realty Board Dinner.
Heal estate men who deal in coun
ties where they do not have their
home office are liable to a tax of $10
per transaction, it has been decided,
through investigation of a commit
tee composed of Ralph O. Cochran,
Joseph D. Greene and Perry Blood-
worth, who made a report last night
at the monthly dinner of the Atlan
ta Real Estate Board at the Cafe
Durand. Not only that, but they are
liable to imprisonment for infraction,
according to the State law. The
committee did not think any drastic
measures would be taken against the
realty brokers, but it recommended
that Legislator-elect Cochran try to
have the law changed this summer in
the Legislature. It urged that in the
meantime the dealers pay the $10 tax
Just prior to closing trades, in order
that commissions may be legally col
lected.
.V. P. Coles, vice president of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
told the realty men that they should
know financial, political and social
conditions if they would succeed in
the real estate business. He declared
he considered real estate the best se
curity for loans.
I H. Ewing presented for the ap
praisal committee a table of prices
for appraising local property. The
schedule follows: $1 per thousand of
the value of the property up to $25,-
000, with a minimum fee of $5; 50
cents per thousand on the excess of
$25,000 to $100,000; 25 per thousand
on tho excess of $100,000.
Charles P. Glover made a report on
the Winnipeg realty convention to be.
held this summer: T. B. Gay intro
duced a resolution extending the glad
hand to the Shriners, and W. A. Fos
ter praised vitrified brick for pav
ing and asked the real estate men to
luge its adoption wherever possible.
H. \\ Dews, sales manager of the
Willingham Realty Estate Agency,
was the host of the occasion.
