NOTHING DOING
IN LAUNDRIES
Secretary CharIOck Believes
a Modern WaShhouse
Would Pay.

There is nothing doing as yet. go
far as appears at the Board of Health
Office, in the matter Of licenses TO
Iaundries under the resolution Of We'd
nesday's meeting relative to the prof.
ects of Theodore Richards and Y.
Amin.
Secretary c. Charlock said yester-
day he presumed the next move of
either Of the authorized licensees
would be 10 procure a building permit
at the Department of Public Works.
The building or buildings will, of
course, have TO conform 70 the stipu-
lations for sanitary fitness made by the
Board Of Health.
From the experience the Board has
had with the government washhouses
al Iwilei now condemned, Mr.. Char
lock believes there would be good
money in a laundry which provided
labor-saving steam appliances for the
tenants. 1t would also be a great
economy for the laundrymen them
selves. Although there was consider
able waste at the public establish |
ment, in steam and otherwise. the |
Board Of Health always came out 4
ahead in the accounts.
Mr.. Charlock thinks the main diff
Guilty private washhouse landlords viii
encounter will be in holding their Chi
nese tenants The latter are liable to
have factional disagreements tending
to the sudden withdrawal of individ-
uals or groups. Yet if they could be
induced to conform to a system where
by certain days of use of the labor
saving appliances were reserved to
certain laundrymen, things would work
veil for both landlord and tenants of
| properly equipped establishment.
While the laundry business under
he new circumstances is settling down
o definite basis. there is danger that
he customers of the Chinese laundry
men win have some trouble in getting +,
heir work done.

of the present day with the bruta
candor which an Englishman delight
at times to use, but which he strongl.
resents when used by others. To rea'
some Of these letters one might thinl
the writer's believed that the loss Of
| the sporting championships III iUsel1
proved the degeneracy of the English
race. But there are other seriously
written letters and carefully consider
ed editorials which show clearly that
there are many thinking men who be-
ieve that the modern youth of Great
Britain threatens serious danger to
the edifce of the country's national
prosperity.
The following quotation from the
British Australasian shows how the feel
ing has spread beyond the bounds of
England:
..The failure of Britons to defend
the sporting supremacy which they
once held is a serious thing for the
empire at large. Whatever may be
the cause, it reacts upon all the Brit
ish colonies. There are disintegrating
influences enough within the empire
without adding this one to the list. -
1t IS not in games alone, more Sc
rious men argue, but in every depart
ment of national life, in every sphere
IF activity there is alarming evidence |
If slackness. The coming generation |
abroad, - says an editorial in the Daily |
Telegraph, is working in everything |
harder than the youth is working at /
lome." One more quotation win give
he keynote of what is in the minds
# thousands of Englishmen just now.
The Pail Mall Gazette, William Wal
.orf Astor's paper, concludes an edi-
orial with the following words: "The
urse of this country is the unwilling
ess of our people to swallow whole
ONE tonic of discipline in any shape
r form. IF we do not look to it to
lend our ways and work while it is
ct day we may live to learn when
% late that no day lasts forever and
nat at the appointed time the night
Ometh when no man can work.

Where is the
Economy?

Where is the economy in washing at
hcme?
Where do you save-in money, in
work or in results?
Did you ever figure up the cost of
the extra fire and water used in wash
ing; the soap, starch, blueing, ETC., re-
quired; the value of the time to you
that it takes to do the work at home;
the hard, back-breaking labor that it
costs you, and the unsatisfactory re,
suits that you obtain?
Is there any economy in it when we
can save you all this and only charge
you 25c. per dozen for rough dry work e?

THE HAGUE MEETING
INSTRUCTED BY RUSSIA

| THE HAGUE, July ia statesman
of Bismarckian mould, if such existed
now in Europe, would probably kill
the Peace Conference as an institution
by some rough ridicule He would be
helped by the fragrant disconnection
between its rules of procedure, and
the modest, serious work that some of
Its leading members are striving to
do.
The exasperating pointlessness of
stages ruled out for committee discus
sions to pass through is primarily due
to Russia. The Government clinqs to
its parental authority over the Gar IS
creation, but it shows neither respect
for its present nor generosity for its
future. Count Nelidoff, whose anna
bllity is taxed to the limit to protect
his sovereign's faineantism, is about |
to abandon the attempt to preside Sc
riously over the deliberations of the
conference and resume his health cure
elsewhere. But no overdue considera-
ton on his part for the conference can
oblIterate the role of an absolute OBJ
struetionist which the Russian Govern
ment is playing.
Most of the great European Powers
are convinced that anything that may
|
be achieved by the present clumsy
could be much better handled
through the regular diplomatic chan
nels, but their recent policy has been
to join in mutually jealous con
'plracy to call Russia a great Power.
None OF them is volunteering to be
he first to fiout her, yet none of them;a
s willing to forego fraction of it's
rational interests to restore the Car
o his self-created pedestal of the
jhristian friend of all mankind.
The position of the Gar as a jealous
'arent of the conference is beginning
o be recognized as so indefensible 4
hat, before it separates, some tacit !
ONE to that he is to have no priv !
legged position in regard to future re-
MONS. :
The matters on which enough agree y
lent may be obtained to base an ac
epted rule of conduct are now reduced "
} the detail of maritime laws. Even =
n these Russia remains a cynical oh =
whose only intelligent de-
sIons are taken when she sells her :
ote to her ally. Her attitude on the u
inversion of merchantmen into war
ups is still the same that sought to
efend the passage of the ships of her
ibsld1zed volunteer fleet under a COM
ercIal flag through the Dardanelles,
hich are closed to naval tonnage.
I'd the subsequent hosting of a war
sign in the Red Sea. &
Equally she holds that anything is IS
ntraband that she is allowed to
ep, as she kept the cargoes of decay
fish and fertilizer destined for 81
Dream farmers on the ground that
led fish was the staple food of the
panese troops. As to the proper be-
vior on the opening of hostilities.
viii have nothing to do with the
"a Oh ehiVairous, old fashioned public
allenge.
Her rule of conduct still is as il
S IN 1876, when she crossed neutral
ritory and invaded the Turkish -
lpire for several days before she a.
'Iared war on the Sultan. Until she
removed from her false position as
ostensIble patron of the conference

nts of experienced men here who n
