Among my good habits I take special pride in one, 
namely the impulse not to contribute to litter. 
I deposit ashes and butts of cigarettes in ash trays. 
When a book of matches is empty I drop the cover in a 
wastebasket. If I tear the cellophane from a pack of 
cigarettes or a package of gum, I look for a place to put 
it and I’ll put it in my pocket before I'll drop it on the 
sidewalk or the floor of an office or hotel lobby. In hotels 
I put used towels in the basket provided for them. When 
finished with the water, I pull the plugs in wash basins 
and bathtubs. Lacking a special cloth, I don’t use linen 
towels to wipe my shoes; I use yesterday’s socks. 
Of nasty habits, I think the disposition to litter streets, 
public conveyance, hotels, banquet halls, and houses is the 
most obnoxious.
