Washington, August 2.-(Special )-The reopfe of this whimsical country have inst discovered that Washington city, with it's beautiful surroundings, is one of the pleasantest summer resorts in Amer ica.
 This special summer session of Con gress has forced the opportunity some of the non-residents to know and appre- ciate tn ereal beauty of the national cap- ital.
 Now, this is no revamping of the "sour grapes" yarn. Washington is really de- lightful and many senators and congress- men whc hurried their families away to the mountains, the seashore or back home on the approach of the heated tern have discovered that they made mis take It~is true that an almost unprece- dented heat wave swept the country 8 few weeks ago. It was sweltering hot 1T Washington, but not near so bad as il was in other places of the country, soms of them being the very points sought b, the refugees.
 The weather in Washington is intense If it is hot it is very hot, but luckil. 
 these spells do not last long, not near s, long as in other sections even furthe north. When the weather is mild and de liehtful it is intensely mild and delightful
 and that has been the average condition through the summer.
 The streets and avenues are wide, we shaded and arranged in such a way tha the breezes sift through' all the building. The asphalt pavements are very hot. bu
 this is overcome by the ample shades tha | line all the streets and avenues. The constituent from back home wh visits his congressman in Washingto
 smiles indulgently when that congress
 man complains that the long extra ses
 sion with the oppressive heat is wearin
 him out and that he will be a dead ma | if he does not get back to Poseum Ride pretty soon. Now, the constituent know

ing and cares less for the conventions of the Senate. He is disposed to talk when he feels impressed to do so and on any subject that gets into his head.
 His tongue and his legs are hung by the same hinge. When one moves the other moves automatically. When he talks he walks. When he walks he talks. He simply cannot do one without, doing the other at the same time.
 In making long speech, when he is able to buldose the rules of the Senate. and hold the floor. he. walks all over the democratic side of the chamber and fre- quently invades the territory of the en- emy with his quick, nervous strides. It Is odd that his tongue is so long while his legs are short

RECOGNIZED
 AS FINE SUMMER RESORT
BY WALTER HARPER

an electric bell at his door calls him to the congressional hall when he is needed perhaps twice week to vote on some subject. Then he drops down the eeva- tor to the subway where he can either ride or stroll over to the House or Senate protected from the sun and the heat or rain as the case may be. While waiting for this call there is an abundant supply of the finest mineral waters on ice at his elbow, restaurant in the building and nothing to do but wait, keep cool and draw his salary.
 The constituent knows that back at Possom Ridge there is dust and sunshine that is hot and blistering. Long, dusty roads to a stuffy courthouse where he must use his hat for fan and drink muddy, tepid well water when he is thirsty. The benches are hard, unpaded slabs. l say the constituent smiles when he drops Into one of the fluffy armchairs in his congressman office and looks out on mountains of crystal spray and shaded | avenues. where the green grass and the loveliest flowers are kept green and lovely by an army of government employees The delights of a summer In Washing | ton are coming to be appreciated by the | people who have been forced to remain | here. A business man from Alabama who had spent several days at Atlantic City came over to Washington a few days ago, '''I am certainly glad to get over here," he said. This is delightful. Talk about your summer resorts believe Washing ton is the best in the country. I am get ting a real rest and some real comfort since I left Atlantic City"
 And the idea that Washington Is "de- | serted village in summer is mistake More than 75 per cent of the residents remain here and the number that is away for the summer Is easily made up by the number of tourists who flock to the na. tional capital from every section of the country.
 Of course the special session has kep'
 more people in Washington this summer than usual, and this fact has perhaps
 added to the tourist population to sligh degree.

Speaking broadly, the women of this country are informed only to limited degree about modern American laun- dries and the progress they are making and have made. The purpose of this advertisement-and those to follow--s to implant the right idea about modern American laundries in the minds of as many women as possible. We mean to do this by telling you what good laundry is and how it is conducted; how it does it's work and what kind of work it sends home to you.
 If we succeed, the end of this year will see thousands of women availng themselves of the economy and convenience afforded by the good laundry laundries that every com munity possesses. But this will be merely an incidental result. Our real purpose is to add to the number of good laundries the country over and this we shall do if we can enlist the aid of the wo- men of the country. You did not know that mighty movement is well under way for the improvement of laundres
 It has the earnest support of every laundry rep- resented in this Association and of many not represented
 The owners of these aundries-some thousands of men-are striving constantly and con- scientously to better their service in scores of ways
 Their desire for the greater good and satisfac- tion of their customers is so strong upon them that they do not hesitate at the lavish expen- allure of money.
 If you should go into laundry, representative of the ideals held by the members of this as sociation, you would marvel at the things you would see.
 You would find the air as pure and sweet as outside the building-the steam and odors carried off and fresh, cool air supplied by highly efficient ventating system Copyright 1911. The Laundrymens National Association of America
