Boston, Mass. Oct. 4.-An OPP

trial situation in America was.ex-
pressed by Thomas E. wilson, pres

Meat Packers, in address before the
Investment Bankers Association of

''The pressing necessity OF the

courageous and optimistic morale.
The descent from the heights of
abnormal production to the normal
levels of peace times should be
reached by graduation and not by

LAUNDRYWOMEN

Linen Comes Home Delight

Madrid, Oct. 4.-The iaundrN-
women of Madrid are probably the
finest of their profession N :he
world. Nowhere else does the linen
come home so delightfully."- clean

water. Within sight of the windows

ly all the washing TOR the m,ilion
or so inhabitants of Ma irid is
done.
A closer corporation than that
of the Madrid washerwomen can
scarcely be conceived. some or
those working here have been IN
the profession over forty years, not
always as pastmistresses. for they
have to serve an apprenticeship
lasting many years before they are
permitted to undertake work on
their own account. A worui re-
ception meets any newcomer coll-
ing with a bundle of linen to WASH.
All kinds of insults are hurled at
her by the regulars; her linen ais
appears as il by magic ana is
found again only after long search.
ANY man not an ordinary dlrty
linen porter is in even worse case
He is splashed with suds and is
lucky IL he escapes with his cloth

were not aiming to boost any particular
co. operative association. but they did
want to call the attention Of the women
to this practical and very advantageous
method Of buying.
In the discussion several of the
women who had become convinced Of
the bentit of cooperative buying men e
toned special bargains. one declared en- =
Enthusiastically that at the Junior Prom
of the University of Pennsylvania she
had seen beautiful evening clothes that
had cost only S35 instead of S60."
Mrs. NJ. G. Stengel. the purchasing
agent of the Benjamin Franklin Co.
operative Association. told Of their
methods, which are in the strictest sense
o-operative--not something for moth
ing, but working together to save.
A flutter was created by the mention
Of sale last week Of spring chickens at
thirty three cents a pound. The women
wanted to know Immediately when that
would happen again, and il turkeys were
to be sold for Christmas.
The Benjamin Franklin Co operative

assistant postmistress in the postoffice

from Atlantic City, caused the men to
flee and resulted in saving several thou
sand dollars worth Of government prop

After running away from the post
office the same gang of men broke into
three other places and secured jewelry
and money valued at more than $1,000.
II was awakened shortly after mid
night this morning said Miss sahl
today, when l heard suspicious sounds
in the room below me. which was used
both as n postoffice and grocery store.
Mrs. Amanda Blake, who Is the post
mistress here. had gone on a visit to
see some friends in Philadelphia, and
had left me in charge, so knew that
1t was up to me to protect the govern
ment's property, as well as hers.

the postoffice by forcing the front door
with some instrument. but apparently |

had not been harmed. Nothing what

men intended to concentrate their ef-

After leaving the postoffice the men
entered the home of X. W. Bown, near :

n sum Of money. They next broke into
the residence of II. Bown, short dis
tance away. and there they obtained
several rings, gold watch and also
some money.
The last place that they robbed was
the store of Norman Ashley, where they
broke open the safe without awakening
any of the members of the household
who were sleeping over the store. Here
they stole n watch and n large sum OF
money.

Thermal.Unlt Standard

Mayor Moore has received from
Council the ordinance recently passed
authorizing the employment Of experts
to make study Of the property and
operation of the Philadelphia Gas
Works. under the lease to the United
Gas Improvement Co.
The Mayor announced he would not
act on the ordinance this week because
h. wanted to hear little more definitely
from the public with regard to the pro-
posed investigation. He explained that
he vetoed the first ordinance because 1t
seemed almost entirely in the interest of
the United Gas Improvement Co.. in
that utility experts only were to make
the examination of the property. The
present ordinance. he said gave the city
more latitude and provided for an In:
vestigation and report to Council and
the Mayor. so that further action would
be necessary before the y. G. I. contract
could be amended or broken.
