\X IDEA THAT BRIGHTENS THE
WORLD
There lives in St. Louis a man
named Allen \V. Clark, editor of a
paint r^-ide journal As a profes
sional expedient he conceived the
Ilea of instituting a country-wide
clean-up and palnt-vp campaign. It
was in i912 tha' this idea was born
iri the aiud of this trade journalist;
and uov, in 1915, the development
<>£ it is really one ot the remark
able Vuc-omena of the time.
Ir was not at 11 a pretentious
idea. It was not calculated to be
Archimedean in th.it it would move
r: i worM in any particular direction
It was not, in firs' inception, al
truist!'. for its pnni.sl purpose was
to start something that would im
prove conditions in 'he paint busi
ness and in other indvscrial occupa
tions allied with that business. It
wis a simple, practical work-a
«'> idea, wholly devoid of the ear
marks of great r->ss as we
are accustomed tc. look far
these i:i the idea ot great results.
Put the important i;-ct is this idea

Witness My Hand
In the early days only a few scholars
kiii w how to write. It was then cus
tomary to sign a document by smear
ing the hand with ink and impressing
it the paper, ii'i-on: panted by the
wo: Is. "Witness my baud." Afterward
the seal was introduced as a substitute
fi.r the hand mark and was used with
thk' words above quoted the two form
ing the signature. This is the origin of
tlie expression as used in modern d'*'n
meiits.

and ..has become international. It
was discussed in London and
uonsidered in the cUies of France,
I ;is we are told; but an idea of

the United States, however, the
spread of it has teen phenomenal

of incaluculablo good.
The work this idea suggested
stort©~. in St.' Louis. In the broad
er s-euse that work is now directed
. by a national organization, and ap
proximately SOOO American towns

s.ated by Mr. Clark, who is presi

The men and women who are prom
inent in furthering the activities of
the organization are among the bfst
known men and women of affairs in
their respective communities; and
the result is municipal cleanliness,
nunicipal brightness better health
and a .general refurbishing that is
the immense gratification on the
esthetic sense of tlie community.
