Names for Glasses Of Flour:

THE question Of what to call -four is more
complicated than a first thought might
indicate. In fact, it is so complicated that the
food standards committee has been unable to
make a complete cleanup of the nomenclature.
Whole wheat -four, entire wheat -four, un-
bolted graham -four and graham -four are one
and the same, while -four, wheat -four and white
flour are identical and at the other extreme OF
the -four scale. just what TO call the -four
which lies between Is the puzzle Bolted graham
-four has been suggested for the graham -four
from which part of the bran has been removed,
but this first serious suggestion toward . name
has not been adopted as oficial.

was nothing remotely resembling o thlnkn.
Neither were there any shirts, scks or hdkfs.

said Phoebe. Probably they thought We
weren't in earnest. The next time we itemized
six Of everything. including counterpanes light
and counterpanes heavy. We also inclosed with
our list three Of my shirts as evidence of good
faith. But all that came back was . handsome

Of hotel in Brooklyn.
So we switched to the Silver Spray Wet

Though Phoebe and I have changed laun-

the last two years. this does not mean that
we are discontented or hard to please. Far
from it. But hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast. If Little Hercules doesn't send
your shirts back, there Is always q possibility
that Ching Ho Hum will. After all, those shirts
must be somewhere-and possession - nine

Edgar Allan Poe could have had o lot Of fun
with them. Sometimes they look like chemical
formulas; sometimes like keys to q buried treas
ure. I have even tried dialing them ON the
telephone. A veteran shirt which has made
many trips to the laundry viii often have
marks superimposed upon other marks until
the neckband becomes q palimpSeSt which
would defy the best efforts Of any archeologist.
THE Chinese no longer control the laundry
business In America, but there E stu q
steamy air of Oriental mystery about It. A
man cannot look at the code words on his
collar without vague sense Of uneaSineSS; for
all he knows, they may be unfiattering COM
ments upon his personal appearance, his taste
or his morals The laundrymen may have
adopted the methods of the psychologists and
undertaken to classify all their customers. Per-
haps "H37" means "a high-grade moron with
q fondness for awning stripes and baxbaric
color combinations; wears hook-on neckties and
shoots his cuffs; ]. @. about 49,"
Another mystery of the laundry business is
the stowaways-those odd pieces that you md
in the incoming wash neatly folded and trying
to look If they really belong to somebody.
Where do they come from? For instance, there
is a shirt marked B222-17Y, collar sine IL,
sleeve length SO. I discovered it among my
laundry one day last Winter and it has worried
me ever since. Common sense tells me that
no one could wear shirt like that. 1t must
have been made on q bet. But why was it
sent to me?
Then there was the little what-is-ft with pur-
pie daisies and pink spinach embroidered on It.
It came out of a clear sky in bundle Of bed
linen from the Semiramis Laundry. Obviously,
it was wedding present. It had seen better
days Probably once upon q time some one had
said Of It, "Oh thank you'll That's just what
wanted!" Do not SCOT; Il might have been
your sister.
We tried sending out the little embroidered
what-is-it again and again. but it always came
back, just as If 1t didn't belong TO us. We were
touched. Finally we decided to adopt It; we
gave it q name, and Phoebe marked it plainly
with indelible ink And the very next time we
sent it out with the rest Of our laundry it dis
appeared; we haven't seen it since.

laundry marks on his collar. The laundry mark
is an unfailing clue in murder cases and mys-
terry stories. But am sure that IL an attempt

would come to the conclusion that he was not
