others have been located by the he'll

good friend, Merle Thorpe, editor of
the Nations Business:
1T has been related that a certain
Chinese city achieved great fame dur
ing the reign of the illustrious Chow
through the skill of it's washermen.
The glory of it's laundries was sung
in caravans and trading junks. Mer-
chants from AMMAN and Formosa and
Thibet were drawn hither by the pub
LEFTY, who after having their garm-
ents cleansed, sold of their wares to
the people. The carrying off of this
money so enraged the citizens that
the old taoti called a conference.
"Disregarding the protest of the vii
lagos lone old economist, the con-
ference reached this decision We
shall lock all strangers out of our
town and allow all our inhabitants
to become rich by washing for each
other
Accordingly the gates were bar
red and guarded, a Society for
Keeping the Money at Home was
formed, and the citizens began fur
iously to wash each others clothes.
At the end of a short time they had
all become very clean-and complete
ly bankrupt. Whereat they were
sorely puzzled. Had they not kept
every cash of their wealth at home?"
