Madrid. lLaundrywomen
Chased AZ The Best

Madrid, Sept. 15.-(By Mail.)-The
laundrywomen OF Madrid are prob
ably the finest Of their profession in
the world. Nowhere else does the
linen come home SO delightfully."- clean
and it is all accomplished with cold
water. Within sight Of the windows
of King Alfonso's palace any day of
the week. including Sundays, may be
seen acre after acre of snow-white
linen spread outNto dry along the
banks OF the Manzanares. In the
turbulent waters of this creek, for it
Smoothing more in spite Of it's sonor-
Gus name, virtually all the washing
for the million OF so inhabitants Of
Madrid is DONE.
A closer corporation than that Of
the Madrid washerwomen a scarcely
be conceived. Some of those working
here have been in the profession w
40 years. not always as pastmistresses.
for they have to serve an apprentice
ship lasting many years before they
are permitted to undertake work on
their own account. A woeful .recep-

Of insults are hurled at her by the
regulars; her linen disappears as if by
magic and is found again only after
long search. Any man not an ordi-
nary dirty linen porter is in even worse
case. He is splashed with suds and
is lucky If he escapes with his cloth
ing intact.
The experienced laundrywomen as
sert no woman learns how to wash
properly until she has passed 40 years
of age. Till then she must work as
understudy to the others, earning only
the small pittance of one peseta daily
while doing so. When she sets. up for
herself she at once takes apprentices
and rapidly amasses a modest fortune.
1t seems, however, they never retire
to enjoy their riches, for the call of
the tub is too strong for them ever to
desert the Manzanares until the final
I call comes.

Tag Day Sale


 The Cordova public has our sincere and hearty thanks for it's generous re- sponse to our appeal for funds for our library on Tag day. The receipts were $177.35 and the expense will total about $15, which leaves a tidy sum for adding books and pictures to the school.
 Naomi Robinson, in Room 2, was the best seller of tags among the girls, disposing of 27 tags, while Rob- ert Daggett led the boys, with 23 tags to his credit
 The First and Second grade pupils were the best sellers. Room 1 collect ed s52.55; Room 2, s46.9O; Room B. s51.9O; High School, $26.
 We felt specially grateful for our success today when we read in a school paper published in Port An geles, Wash, that their school had

be in proportion to value received, self-evident hypotheses, then give honor to whom honor is due by rec ognizing efficient work in this most responsible calling with adequate compensation, and the public will be the greatest beneficiary, for only in this way can the standard of the school and education be raised.
 Dress Reform in the Schools
 Many state superintendents of in, struction have placed themselves on record as favoring dress reform among the pupils of the public school. Too many parents fail to realize that school is business institution, not a social gathering, and that their chil- dren should dress in keeping with the nature of the place. Too many desev- ing poor girls and boys-especially girls-have dropped out of school be- cause unable to maintain the standard of dress which obtains in the average high school. With everything priced so high, the one item alone of silk hosiery for many high school girls in some localities is enough to make a mere school teacher blink, for her sal ary must provide all the necessities of life as we'll as it's luxuries-Which must needs be few
 The item quoted below may indicate passing fad in this particular school system; perhaps the reform instituted is extreme, but anyhow it is a step in the right direction, and we wonder if the time will not come when a school uniform will be adopted generally, not alone to correct the false standard of living which is being instilled into the minds of our young people, but to abol- ish the foolish pride in fine feathers and it's resulting snobbishness on the part of some and the envy and dis comfort of others:
 "Muskogee, Okla-Introducing a movement that has never been tried anywhere in the Southwest before, high school students at separate meet ings recently adopted simplif1ed dress for both boys and girls, including cor duroy trousers and woolen shirts for the boys and gingham and calico dresses for the fair sex.
 Ninety per cent of the boys of the senior class have gone on record as favoring the new measure, and ar engagements are now being made to purchase lot of pants at reduced prices. Very few of the fellows do not possess some sort of woolen, khaki or gray shirts, and the trousers can be purchased at reasonable prices.
 ''The girls of the class at a special meeting unanimously voted to abolish the much-talked-of habit of applying rouge in the class rooms. Beginning next week any and all old clothes will be worn by the girls, whether it be 'gingham, calico or burlap,' according to one enthused young lady.
 "'We're going to hold this rule till the H. C. L. drops down few notches,' declared Miss Edwina Blackwell, sec retary of the senior class. It will save us a lot of money, and who cares for style anyhow, if we're all dressed alike?"
