Washing Clothes by
Chemistry Is Latest

Detroit. Mich, Sept. % CA. P)
Chemistry and physics of the
modern laundry will be discussed by
recognized experts at the annual
convention of the National Laundry
Owners Association here October
is. says w. E. Fitch, general
manager.
''Our scientific phases of laundry
work." Mr.. Fitch continues, "are
planned to interest every housewife
and every man who sends a shirt to
the laundry. Several years ago the
laundrymen established a fellowship
with the Mellon Institute of In
dustrial Research at Pittsburgh,
where DR.. A. F. Shupp has been en-
gagged in laboratory experiments in
connection with every problem in
volved in the washing of clothes.
"The results of these investiga-
tons into textile strength. dyes. and
the removal of dirt and stains
absorbed into the fiber of fabrics.
are regularly bulletined to the as
ISOLATION members. and this service
gradually Is placing laundering upon
a standardized scientific basis" The
association numbers 1000 members
and represents as per cent of the
total capital invested in laundries in
the United States.

CONY CRIDMEN
OFF TODAY TO MEET
MORSE AT BATH

The Cony High football squad. 70
strong, invades Bath today, where
IL of them will start against the
Morse High outfit this afternoon. 1t
will be the Red and Whites second
game and despite the easy victory
over the Madison boys, Coach
Thompson has put in a week OF hard
practice in preparation for the clash
with the Shipping City lads.
Every man on the squad is in fine
shape and eager TO get into the
game. There are several scraps on
for positions, both in the line and
in the back field. and the coach is
as vet undecided on several posi-
tions. The following will start the
game. with probable changes before
the game is over: Hewitt, re; Gard
ner. IT: Mcdonald. re-: Gregoire, G.;
Folsom. lg; Hill. 1t: BOYD. lie: Hay
den. ob; Poor RIB; Iapidus lib; Nc
Cauley, fg.
The following additional PLAYERS
will also make the trip: Backs, Mer-
ril. r. HAYDEN. Burns and Savage;
linemen, Cooper. Gordon. LeaVht'
Vilcs. Bennett and Folsom: ends,
Tihbetts. Yeaton. Morton and Reid.
Tt will be Morse's first game and
while several were lost from the
team by graduation. this years out
fit is heavy and formidable. but
Coach Thompson is confident that
the Cony boys will give n good &C
count of themselves. He urges that
oil the various autos start soon after
@ this morning as arrangements
have been made for luncheon at
11.30 at the Colonial Cafe in Bath.

THERE'S The PLACE
OCT. 6 The DAY
AT SKOWHECAN

When Harry Lee, the genial horse
man from Augusta, gives the word
GO" at Skowhegan on the afternoon
of October six, the best days rae
ing that patrons of the harness
sport have ever enjoyed in this sec
ton of Maine. will be on. and that
Harry will give satisfaction goes
without saying as his years of
experience stamp him as the best
available man to handle this job.
John r. Braden 2.0214 is consider
ed by many to be the logical winner
in the big race, but if the son of
John r. Gentry reaches the wire
ahead of the Grattans and Dan
Hcdgewood. he will have set a new
record for half-mile tracks in Maine
so the wise ones say. This opinion
is based on two things; first the
race is to be "winner-take- all' and
the quartet of speedsters will be
pushed hard by their respective
drivers: second. this is the last race
to be run away from the Potato
County and each of the drivers and
their hackers will be out to show all
there is in the horses they are
favorinG.
Dan Hcdgewood is another that
is thought we'll of. and while his
mark of 2.O41t is not as fast as the
marks of the others it must be borne
in mind that lie stepped this mile
on a half-mile ring, while his race
mates got theirs on the mile cir
cults. This should give him as good
a chance as any if lie is in condi-
ton, and Fred Cameron. his driver
can be relied upon to have Dan IN
the pink for this affray.
The Grattans, Roy 2.01M teamed
by Monty Gerow and Jackson 2.o1 4
with Ralph Burrill up will make the
lace interesting for al as both
drivers are after that $4,000 stake
and no trick known to good horse
men will be left unplayed to bring
their charges in for first money
Probably no two drivers are better
known to followers of the race game
in Maine. and certainly none are
better qualified to team in this great
struggle of speed and driving skill.
Every seat in the immense
grandstand will he sold by Saturday
of this week If early sales are any
criterion. 1t will pay any who wish
to see the steppers from the stand
to get in touch with Show hogan
Buick N Z. Telephone 1913 and
secure their seats.

COACH RYAN
POSTS LIST OF
TRACK EVENTS
Especial to the Kennebec Journal

(Speclal 10 the kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Sept. 28-Coach Mike
Ryan Of the Colby colleg track teams
posted this afternoon the list OF
events which will be run off on the
athletic field next Wednesday after
noon at the Freshman track meet
There are to be two divisions of the
meet on next Wednesday, the first
half of the afternoon being devoted
to the Freshman events alone while
the latter part of the day will be
given over to a few events for the up
per- ciassmen only.
1t is the plan of Coach Ryan to
stimulate the interest of the yearling
class in the track and thus get a line
on any good material that may be
present amongst ther:. This is the
first time that such meet for the
first year men alone has ever been
held and upon the success of the
events to be run off Wednesday de-
Ponds a great deal the success of the
annual Freshman Sophomore inter
class track meet which is to be held
a week from this coming Wednesday.
AS general rule the second year
class defeat the yearlngs to a stand
still, the reason being that many OF
the men are timid about coming out
for the sport. Coach Ryan hopes
that the meet next week will encour-
age some of the members of the first
year class to report on the field
This is also the first step in the
regular fall program which tends to
get the runners into condition for
the cross country and relay meets
which all come off in the later part
of next month. Coach Ryan is very
anxious to develop some new ma
teriaI for both of these branches of
track.
The events for next Wednesday
afternoon are as follows: For Fresh
men only, 100 yard dash; IA mile
dash; one mile run; running high
jump, running broad jump; II pound
shot put: for upper classmen only, ,
mile run and pole vault. The events
are scheduled to start at 2.30 o'clock
promptly.

OFFICIAL
MILESTONE
IS NEEDED
One Should Be in Every City
or Town TO Give Correct In
formation TO Tourists About
distances
Distances

An official milestone for every city
and town in the United States from
which local distances can be mea-
sured is the suggestion made by the
American Automobile Association.
The designation Of an official central
point in each city and town by the
proper municipal or town authorities
will be of value commercially as well
as a convenience to local and visiting
motorists, points out the A. a. A.
every motorist will recall similar
experiences in reading sign posts
along most any road in the United
States" said an official of the A. A.
A. zone sign may read 8 miles to
Jonesville A mile further on an
other sign may read also g miles to
Jonesville' Both signs may be cor
rect depending on the point in Jones'
VILE from which the mileage was
taken. With an official milestone
and the mileage accurately measured,
the notorist would know definitely
the actual mileage to the center of
the town to or from which he is
ira Yelling.
"From a commercial standpoint an
official milestone would he of service
in giving readers of advertisements
or real estate, 1CF example, ueilllllS
information. a farm may be adver-
tised as being six miles from Jones'
vile. With the adoption of an
official milestone by Jonesville
the reader would know that the
distance is six miles from a fixed
point in Jonesville. which would be in
the heart of the city.
with the adoption of the Zero
Milestone in Washington all distanc-
es on all A. A. A. maps out of Wash
ington are measured from this point.
Since the dedication of the Washing
ton Milestone a similar milestone has
been placed in Los Angeles. The
nlan of these two cities should he
followed by every city and town in
the country.
The cost of putting IN the official
milestone can be negligible. A simple
marker could serve the purpose.
Automobile clubs in many instances
will be willing to erect the marker or
milestone for the city or town. If it
is so desired. the milestone can also
serve as a memorial to some citizen
who has served his community well
in the early days of the development
of highways.
