Rev. C. C. Bruce Delivers h. teresting Address at Doug
 las = Declarations.

In message full of food for thought, Rev. G. c. Bruce addressed the Douglas Parent-T Teacher Associa- tion Monday night in short talk on the great value of being prepared mentally for the right opportunity when it comes along. Good health and the privilege of communication, he said, are the two most valuable assets one can have for happiness.
 Obstacles Prevent Happiness
 Quoting the well known educator and writer, Nicholas Murray Butler, Rev. Bruce mentioned greed" as be- ing the greatest. menace to happi- ness-green for power, money power. To attain wealth we have mon grab bing positions they are not qualified to fill Lawlessness is also resorted to to gain certain ends.
 Tendency to Disregard Authority
 LaMIessness, said Rev. Bruce, ire quently begins in the home. Uncon- sciously the parent allows the child to side-step his authority and as the child advances and goes to school, re. fuses to recognize the authority of the teacher Pupils of today, many of thcm are allowed to take elective study and the lawlessness goes an other step. No one is qualified to say what he should study or not study until he has education.
 Pitfalls of Civilization
 Several things were mentioned by Rev. Bruce which seriously interfere with the right progress of the chil dren. The phase of organized amuse ments which keep the child away from the home was touched upon Extreme fashions, jazz dancing and tho general disregard for religion are some of the things which must be

Payettes plucky forwards caused
many comments of admiration among
the spectators and the guards came
into their share of commentator by
holding the "Tute" girls to 8 point
score.

was tough luck. In spite OF the
fact that they fought valiantly eth

The game was very exciting and the

WHY DID 1T WASH BADLY?

When the laundry returns to us a
garment with a tattered sleeve, or a
disintegrated blanket, or perforated
handkerchief, we instinctively cry out
| against the laundry Frequently
however, in doing so we accuse the
wrong culprit. The Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh has made tests
of Numbered goods, tests which haxe
shown that often impure fabrics used
and not the laundering are respons-
IDLE. for the wreckage. 1t has been
explained that, in many cases, only
parts of garments are made of reli-
able material the remainder being
cut from inferior grades of identical
appearances, too fragile to withstand
laundry manipulations.
1t cannot fairly be argued, however
that all goods which issue damaged
from the tubs are made of inferior
goods. Washing agents and washing
machinery, in some cases, work
havoc with textiles. These cases may
be differential from those of impure
fabrics by the nature of the tear,
as revealed by magnifying lens.
Careful comparison between the
remnants will point the difference.
A straight rent, with frayed threads
gives evidence of an inferior grade
of cloth; a diagonal tear, at right
angles to the weave with clean-cut
fibers, is the work of the laundry, a.
mechanical accident.
What shall we do about the prac-l
tice of imposing on us adulterated
garments? Legislation compelling
manufacturers of clothing and other
articles to standardize all portions of !
their output and to use correct chem
ical methods in dyeing and printing,
will have some remedial effect; but
the enforcement of these provisions
depends largely on the attitude Of
women. If they will take the trou-
BILE to ascertain the cause of the mis-
fortunes which their textiles suffer
and to place the blame intelligently,
and loudly where it be-
longs, the manufacturing and laun-
dering industries will be forced to
tread the path of honor more care
fully.
The Mellon Institute of Industrial
Research has given the Laundry own
ers National Association opportuni
ties to make exhaustive researches
into laundry supplies and their
chemical reactions, the results of
which are available to 1000 laundry
men in the United States who own rs
per cent of the capital invested in
he industry in the country.
Some of their findings may be
Utilized, also for the benefit of the
