Since the National health insurance
act went into effect in England this
summer washing day has treateDed to
move down the week from Monday to
anywhere this side of baking day,
which anybody who knows anything
knows is Saturday The reason is
that the first employer Of the week
has to pay the washerwoman's insur-

Monday for your washday, you have
to pay threepence extra. A good
many employers have already shifted
to Tuesday in the hope that other
and more stubborn housekeepers will
stick to Monday and pay the three
pece. But if everybody changes to
Tuesday, there will be nothing for 1t
but for the economical to change
again to Wednesday, and to continue
changing until all the possibilities in
the case are exhausted. 1t is said that
conventional England contemplates
this shifting of washday with stony
horror-but threepence is threepence.
