department created for the purpose.
The inspection will apply particularly
to expeditions which may winter in
the polar regions. A government ship
surveyor and a member with personal
experience in Arctic wintering are in
chded in the committee.
1t Is believed that the system Of
inspecting expeditions before they en-
ter the Arctic wastes will save the inn
mense cost of rescue and relief which
has been necessary to aid inexperi-
enced explorers. This expense has
been borne either by the state or
Spitzbergen coal mining companies.
The money spent on relief expeditions
in recent years would have financed
several properly conducted scientific
parties. Norwegian officials make 1t
clear that there Is no desire to dis
courage legitimate enterprise or inter-
fere with expeditions In the hands Of
experienced men.
Further help is offered explorers
who will consult the Spitzbergen de-

temporary expeditions are doing. This
should prevent overlapping In scien-

According to the index number conf

LAUNDRYMEN DECLARE
BATTLE ON SHRlNKAGE

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 5.-Laundry-
men have decided that while shrinking
may be pardonable in a violet, it should
have no place in the makeup of modern
wearing apparel. Consequently they
have gone into conference with textile
manufacturers in an effort to reach
some basis of agreement on the proper
time for the shrinking process to take
place.
Some textile men say profit accrues
through the yardage gain when goods
are stretched in finishing. But the
laundrymen point out that when goods
are Observation-Disclosures the point where
legitimate stretching ends and the ex-
cess beings apparently supplies ample
ground for controversy-they shrink
when laundered, to the dismay OF
laundrymen and the despair of wearers.
Laundrymen have suggested they will
attempt to enlighten the public as to
their claims that stretching is by
product of greed. hoping that the more
representative textile interests will make
somewhat similar efforts to inform the
public that questionable goods are our
chased only at a risk.
The situation is rendered even more
desperate by the fact that the modern
mode of wearing little clothing enhances
the difficulties attending upon shrink
age during laundering. Yardage in
dresses, particularly in small and even
moderate shrinkage. is said to cause
some embarrassment When IL comes
to shirts there is still more trouble, for
men. apparently paying little heed to
shrinkage. wear the shirts regardless of
the decreased size.
