CENTRAl'S LAUNDRY
IMPORTANT FACTOR
High School Gymnasium's Demand
for Towels Daily Productive
of Active Industry.

Towels and more towels is the
dream of all who work in the Central
High School gymnasium laundry.
Seven hundred are used daily by the
boys and girls gym classes, and the
track and base ball teams. Washing
machines are kept running from to 4
o'clock in order to take care of the
towels and. in addition, gym and
swimming suits.
The towels are washed in hot water
and ozonite, a washing powder used
with two parts washing soda. After
they have been swished around for
about % minutes, they are taken out
and packed solidly on the inside of the
circular wringer. Each lot of towels
put in the drier requires at least an
hour to dry. The washer holds about
so large towels, while the drier holds
double that amount.
Gym boxes are kept in stacks in the
laundry. The smallest number of
boxes. $50, are given out on Wednes-
day to the girls gym classes; on Fri
day, 33l, the largest number. are given
out. Girls basket ball classes averag
ing 35 girls are held every day of the
week during the eighth and ninth
periods.
Boys gym classes average about 80
boys. The smallest class is 81, while
the largest is As. Glasses are often as
large as so, because of boys making
up lessons and doubling up on gym
in iorder to graduate.
Mrs. Lillian Ross runs the laundry
with the help of Sarah Lee. Louis
Feldman and Carl Van Lowe. The
tags on the boxes are inspected by
Mrs Ross and Sarah. This inspeC-
ton is made to prevent borrowing"
among students.
Louis Feldman carries towels to
and from the swimming pool and the
gyms. Carl Van Lowe helps Sarah
run the machines after school.
Names Of the students taking gym.
along with the numbers Of their boxes,
are kept on file, one file of girls
names and one Of boys In case a stu
dent forgets his box number, his name
and number may be found on this file.

PILOTS WIN RATE CASE.
Virginia Court Grants Appeal
From Corporate Body's Ruling.

RICHMOND. Va. January LP).-
The Virginia Supreme Court Of APP
peals today granted the appeal Of the
Virginia Pilots Association from the
order of the State Corporation Com
mission, entered on August 20 last,
which fixed rates for pilotage Of YES
sells in and out of ports of Virginia.
The main contention in the appeal
Of the pilots was that the commits
sion's order OF August 20 changed the
rates which it specified in an order of
August 10. and that by doing so the
commission violated that provision of
the pilotage act, of 1924 which pro
vides that the commission shall pre-
scribe and enforce rates of pilotage,
but shall not alter these rates more
than once in two years.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

The planetary aspects of tomorrow
are not very encouraging. They indi-
cate rather gloomy conditions, and
pessimistic influences will prevail.
Although there may be no tangible
reason for it. there will be sensed a
feeling of dissatisfaction, not only
with your own individual efforts, but
with those of others. 1t will prob
ably develop into one of those days
when nothing seems to go right, or
the way you desire it. The only
pra ctical way to counterfeit such a.
depressing state of affairs is to be
calmly philosophical, to give the best
attention you can to your custo-
mary daily duties, and to live in the
assurance that, although for the time
being the atmosphere is overcast and
cloudy, the sun will probably shine
for you tomorrow.
A boy born tomorrow will not,
during early infancy, reveal many
signs of robustness. With proper
Authorization and watchful care, how
ever, he will, as time passes, develop
into a healthy manhood. A girl,
however. will from birth be lusty
and strong. and her parents need
have no misgivfngs as to the sound
ness of her physician condition. In
disposition the boy will be rather
querulous and peevish, whereas the
girl will be vivacious and smiling.
They will both, however possess
keen consciences. and will, no matter
what the consequences may be, do
that which 1.-THE still, small voice"
tells them to do.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are not an idler, but are always
busy. 1t is quite possible that, as
you were born on the 4th of Janu-
airy. you have been successful in a
pecuniary sense, as this is the fate
predestined by astrological signs for
all those who come into the world
on this eventful date.
You are shrewd in your judgment
of men, and you know whom you
can trust. You make the most Of
your opportunities. You never waste
either time or money, and this, COM
| bined with a clear vision and gbod
horse sense, has enabled you to out
strip your competitors.
Any one to whom you reveal your
| inner self, and accept as worthy of
your confidence, will prove faithful
and loyal to you.
and are, in little things as we'll lis
| in big things, always in dead earnest.
| Well known persons born on that
| date are: Robley Dunglison, physi-
clan; Samuel NJ. Isaacs, clergyman;
| Edward P. Dutton, publisher; Charles
| 8. Stratton (Tom Thurmb), dwarf;
Blanche Walsh, actress.

TURKEY TROT" IS PAST.
Holiday Birds No Longer Driven to
Market on Foot.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. November 6
R.-The days of the picturesque
turkey trot, the annual drive of
holiday birds to market, have almost
passed into limbo in Texas along with
the cattle drive and the roundup, and
a majority of Thanksgiving dinners
will come to market this year in auto
mobile trucks.
The time was when south Texas
produced almost 80 per cent Of the

were driven in great fiocks to the
principal market centers. There the
birds were herded much as cattle
were herded for the roundup. and

lost SO much flesh in this process
however. that most Of them are car
ried to market nowadays.
Texas still produces large portion
Of the turkeys used at Thanksgiving
owing to the fact that they mature
here early. They Craze on the big
open ranges, very much as cattle
once grazed. .and develop on a diet of
acorns. small berries and insects
Some farmers feed com a few days
before marketing, but most of the
early birds get nothing but worms
and whatever else they can find
themselves.
The State has produced bumper
crop of Thanksgiving dinners this
season. experts estimating that at
