Is Women Faint
When Laundress'
Hand Is Injured
One i'm Serious Condition.
Another in Hospital as
Result of Shock.

Fifteen women tainted, and one of
them is in a serious condition from
shock at Casualty Hospital today, after
wave of hysteria swept the plant of
the Home Laundry, at 11o1 Raun
street northeast, when a colored helper
got her hand caught in the rollers of
an ironing machine.
When flremen of the rescue squad ar
rived in response to an emergency call
scenes of the widest confusion pre-
vailed. Most of the some 100 women
employees were in a hysterical condition,
despite the efforts of shop foremen and
company officials to quiet them.
Emma Settler, IS years old, bundle
wrapper, of Seat Pleasant, Md, was the
most seriously affected. Firemen adj
ministered oxygen to her for 90 min
utes before she revived enough to be
taken to Casualty Hospital in the
squads auxiliary car. Two others were
later taken to Casualty.
Many Workers Faint.
The colored helper, Alice Brooks, 80
years old, of So Defrees street, was
feeding flatwork into a roller when her
hand got caught shortly after o'clock.
Her screams attracted fellow workers,
the machinery was stopped and she
was quickly extricated.
Her hand, however, and part of her
forearm had been pulled into the ma
chinery AS her screams were echoed
from other parts Of the plant, wild ex-
element ensued and many of the
women tainted.
The other helper taken to the hos
pital was Ethel Dawson, Is years old,
of 1925 Nichols avenue. Her condition,
like that Of the Brooks woman, was not
regarded as serious.
The insensible women were laid out
on improviSed beds of packing boxes
and trucks while groups of frantic
fellow workers sought to revive them.
Many Ambulances Called.
Veteran firemen on first entering the
building thought the women either had
been overcome by gas or shocked by
electricity. OF those who tainted about
half were colored women. Ambulances
were summoned from Emergency, Casu-
atty and Freedmens Hospitals.
The Freedmen's ambulance took sew
eral colored employees to their homes,
and the Emergency ambulance returned
without being needed.
Work In the plant was suspended I'M
til noon today to give the employees a
chance to regain their compoSure.
Doctors said the Seltzer woman was
badly shocked and that her condition
was more serious because she apparently
had been in poor health.

RADIO SALES TALKS
FOUND UNPOPULAR
Survey Findings to Be Told
Adj Men Tonight Are Barred
in.IntervieW.

The radio listener objects strenuously
to advertising in his broadcast menu
and unless his advertising is vanished
subtly or made almost unacceptable
it is total flop.
This and great many other things
about radio advertising and radio pro-
grams will be told members of the
Association Of National Advertisers,
Inc. in convention here, at a radio
dinner to be attended by convention
delegates in the Wardman Park Hotel
tonight by representatives of a survey
group principally financed by AZ mem
bers of the association, who are trying
to pin down the returns from such
advertising.
In an interview this morning, John
Karol, a New York representative of
Crossley. Inc, revealed some of the
first six months findings of the survey
organization, the first intinlation the
National Advertisers have obtained of
the potential and factual results Of
sponsored broadcast programs.
Findings Are Announced.
One thing that has been found out,
he said, is that the radio is listened to
more by the middle and lower financial
levels, those In the Weather classes
paying much less attention to the pro-
grams. The hour between and 10
o'clock at night is the most valuable
one from the advertising standpoint,
provided the program is an attractive
one, but the rate for this hour is no
more than for any other hour between
o'clock and midnight, he declares.
There are some stations whose pro-
grams are more harmful to the sponsors
than helpful, due to their lack of stand
ing In the community, he continued.
adding: There Is definite editorial
value to different stations; that is,
