CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE FOR
CITY PLANNING

One Of the new activities TO be
taken up al a future meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce will be that of
city planning and 1t is likely that at
this session Edwin H. Mack. Snnerin-
tendent of Parks, viii speak ON the
recent convention held in Chicago.
Mr.. Mack represented this city al the
Conference which was attended by re-
prcsentatiyes from sixty cities. The
Conference came to close with a
dinner when Charles H. Wacker, Of
the Chicago Plan Commission gave a
talk
What Mr. Wacker had to say would
have been as pertinent and timely in
Wilmington as i'm Chicago. His con-
ception of the objects OF the planning
association suggests the necessity for
such an association in Wilmington.

Laundrymen Boost Prices on
Collars, Cuffs and Other
Flat Pieces
DENY TEN HOUR
LAW IS RESPONSIBLE

Laundrymen of Wilmington have
made an advance in the price of laun-
dering collars and cuffs, and have
made some changes in prices for
laundering fat pieces. Heretofore.
collars and cuffs were laundered at
the rate of two cents apiece. The new
price, which went into eject this
week, is two and one-half cents
apiece.
Heretofore the price for laundering
fiat pieces was thirty-siX cents a
dozen. which included a bed spread
done free Under the new schedule.
the fat pieces arc classified. the
prices ranging from one to three cents
apiece for most of them, but table
cloths hereafter, will be laundered at
five cents apiece. and the laundering
of spreads will be from ten to
twenty-five cents apiece, according TO
texture and quality. Table cloths
heretofore were included in the thirty
six cents a dozen fiat rate wash.
Advance in the price of materials
entering into the laundry business,
and an adjustment to assure the pro-
per attention being given to certain
results, are given as reason for the
chances in prices. Disclaimer is made
by the laundrymen that the ten-hour
employment law for women, which
affects laundry workers, has anything
10 do with the change in prices.
The new schedule of prices has
been put into effect by all the power
laundries of the city, of which there
are seven but not 'by the Chinese
laundrymen. or the hat list that
formerly was thirty-six cents a dozen
the new schedule makes price of
one cent for hand towels and hand

chiefs napkins, small Turkish towels
and pillow cases. three cents each for
sheets. holsters, roller towels, large
Turkish towels. five. cents for table
cloths: ten cents for plain spreads ;
fifteen cents for Marseilles spreads
and twenty-five cents for fringed

NEW TREATMENT
FOR PNEUMONIA
Rockefeller Institute Serum. However.
Is Not Guaranteed as a Posi-
tive Cure

NEW YORK, April 10. new
method of treatment aimed to cure
pneumonia IS under experiment at the
Rockefeller institute lit was announced
today by DR. Clarence A. McWiIliams.
a physician. who has worked in col
alteration with the medical iuvestiga-
tors at the institute. The announcement
OF a positive cure is not vet warranted
DIR. McWilliams said, but improve
ment in pneumonia cases under the
new treatment has been noted. Pa
tients, who have been inoculated with
q serum prepared in manner different
from that attending the discovery of
other serums are under observation AT
the institute. According to DR.. Nc
Williams announcement of the success
or failure of the method may be ex-
pected to appear from two to six
months hence in the institute 5 journal
of experimental medicine.
The origin of the new serum is based
on a theory that the bacillus that
causes the disease Is in two strains.
both of which. might not be found i'm
the same patient, and that specific
cure for each must be found Two sets
of horses were inOculated with sepa-
rate strains and two serumS obtained
With these Serums two sets of mice
We're inoculated, while at the same
time, sputum from the patient was also
injected into the mice. Through this
method the physicians. according ia
DR. McWilliams 5 description of the in
vestigators efforts. were i'm position
to determine which strain Of the baciI.
lus had afflicted the patient who was
( then inoculated with the serum affect
ing that particular strain.
. The development OF the anti-toxin is
declared to be a result Of two wears OF
I research centered upon a study Of the
organism causing pneumonia.
