Modern Laundry
Expert Explain s
met Bag System"
Tells How Manhattan
Saves You Money By
Saving Your Clothes

Present day laundry methods,
which preserve clothes as well as
clean them, are far superior to the
old home method of rubbing and
scrubbing, according to Mr.. +. +.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry.
Mr.. Wesley attributes a large part
of the Manhattan Laundry's sue
cess to their Net Bag System.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag
System of washing, as described by
Mr.. Wesley, follows: First, the
clothes are assorted according to
their color and material and placed
in individual net bags which bear
the customers name and contain
only that customers articles. Safe
in the nets and protected from all
metal or other hard surfaces, the
clothes 20 into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle
cleansing action of swirling hot
suds which penetrate each garment
and loosen every particle of dirt.
Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps
and soft, filtered water are used,
after first having been inspected
and tested by the Research Depart
ment. Many rinsings of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace of dirt. This thorough care
in washing is one reason why Man.
haitian laundered clothes stay new
looking so much longer.
Customer Praises Net Bags
In a recent letter to the Man
haitian Laundry, Mrs. E. r. D.
writes:
&c, But the one actual fact
that pleases me most is that
the clothes do not show as
much wear as they did when
had my laundry done at home
1t is indeed pleasure to
recommend you :"
This letter is typical of the many
received by Manhattan from salts
fled customers throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia.
3-Day Collection and Delivery
Quite another Manhattan feature
which has found great favor with
Washington housewives is their g.
Day Collection and Delivery Ser
vice. In this highly developed sys-
ten your clothes are collected one
day, laundered to your order the
next and delivered to you promptly
the afternoon of the third day. For
instance, if your clothes are col
lected Monday morning they are
delivered Wednesday afternoon;
called for Tuesday, back home
Thursday, and so on. No delay.
No worry. And there is no addi-
tional charge for this extra service.
Services to Fit Every Need
Manhattan offers the housewife
a wide selection of economical ser
vices - from Complete Finished
Family to individual piece work:
There is service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-
ceives Net Bag Care-which saves
you money b. saving ynae epthas.

How to Perfume Hair.

There is always q subtle allurement
in perfumed hair, but so many women
make the mistake of thinking that they
succeed in obtaining it simply by spray
ing their hair after 1t Is dressed. This
is all very well for temporary measure,
but it is not lasting. They are several
ways OF delicately pertaining the hair
with faint but lasting fragrance. One
way Is to line your water-waving cap
with SachetS Of your favorite perfume
Another Is to use little perfumed bril-
liantine every other day when you mas
sage your scalp, or to sprinkle perfumed
Oil on your hairbrushes. But the best
method in my estimation Is to use
fragrant shampoo and hair rinse.
Before your shampoo, brush your hair
well, strand by strand, and massage
scalp, neck and as far down your spine
as you can reach to stimulate circula-
ton. Next, divide the hair into small
strands and apply to the scalp warm
olive oil, mineral or almond oil to which
five or six drops Of your favorite per-
fume has been added. You may use oil
of rose geranium, violet, neroli, berga-
mot, jasmine or white rose extract.
Wrap your scalp in a Turkish towel and
steam the oil in by spraying the surface
with hot water. Leave the oil on the
the hair Is inclined to be very dry and
brittle.
Moisten the hair thoroughly with
warm water and rub in your liquid
shampoo soap, to which you have added
a few drops of the same perfume used
in the Oil treatment. Work up q rich
lather, rinse we'll and lather again,
massaging vigorously for about three or
four minutes. Then rinse with warm
water. Lather and rinse three to five
times, according to how soiled or oily
your hair is. Be very careful to rinse
cut all the soap, so that there will not
be sticky white soap curd on your hair
after it Is dry. The use of soft water
for the shampoo will prevent the forma
ton of this disagreeable curd. If the
water in your vicinity is hard, it may
usually be softened sufficiently by the
addition OLA little bit of borax or sal
soda.
Add to your final rinsing water a few
drops Of your specially chosen perfumed
oil and use it as a final rinse. Even
though you may be using a blonde,
brunette or auburn final rinse, you may
add the perfume. This method of US
Ing the oil all through the shampoo will
permeate the hair with a delicate fra
GRANGE that will be lasting and give the
hair and scalp subtle allurement.
After having shampooed and per-
fumed your hair. exercise it. This may
sound rather silly, but it is really wise
We are apt to let our hair lie in one
position too long. We always wear
hat out Of doors, and consequently the
hair seldom has a sun or air bath. Then
the scalp becomes clogged with dandruff
and sun-starved and in time the hair
loses its sheen. Exercise your hair by
tossing it about and by gently pulling
strands Of it until you have given a

straight lines are used in this
VI handwriting. The connecting
4 lines between letters are either
horizontal or entirely elinlt-
mated. The ending strokes are long
and very pronounced, but beginning
strokes are not used. From these in
dications We may expect a very I'M
usual type Of person with distinctly
emphasized character traits.
She is probably definite about her
aims in life. Indecision has no part in
her makeup. Surely she considers each
side of a question carefully. Then, once
convinced of the wisest course, she will
allow nothing to stand In her way. Her
determination of purpose will help carry
her through many difficulties that
would stop the average person.
Apparently she is accustomed to the
nicer things Of life. Had she been born
in poorer quarters, however, her ambi-
ton and perseverance would have car
ried her far above her surroundings.
The gentler side Of her nature is q
charming one. In her social contacts
she would never push herself or her
ideas forward. Realizing that this was
merely q pleasant phase Of life, she
would enjoy 1t to the utmost, endeavor-
ing to minimize any unfortunate occur
rences or disappointmentS.
She crosses her "t's' decidedly up

timism. She probably utilities these
characteristics in all her work, making
more pleasant thing of it.
Her writing gives the appearance Of
being drawn. 1t was well and care
fully. spaced on the page, giving her
whole letter a most attractive appear
ance. This leads us to believe she must
be artistically inclined. She probably
uses this same appreciation of line and
proportion in many other ways. Her
good taste is undoubtedly admired by
her friends.

Business Woman as Wife.

I'm married" said the telephone
operator. Look at Esther crying her
eyes out and Frank running around
with a blonde. just Because she tried
to work after she was married"
Simple explanation: but much too
simple. Esther'S marriage was broken
up not because she kept on working
but because she was vain, conceited
and unkind.
They had a lovely time, these two
keeping house in a small apartment
They would cook their little meals
together, then she would wash the
dishes and he would wipe them. In
the morning they would straighten up
the little fiat. Because there were two
of them. the housework amounted to
nothing. 1t brought them closer

Il Water sports are very popular
now, and the very best place to
learn new jack-knife dives and whirl-

They are outlined with long hairs which
help to keep the swimmer afloat. Should

LINDEN, N. ]. DAILY WORKER CLUB
HAS SPLENDID MEETING! WORKERS
CORRESPONDENCE TO BUILD DAILY

One of the simplest ways, Of in
suring the existence Of the Daily
Worker is a steady income from af-
fairs, socials, picnics. These affairs
for the benefit of the Daily" are
especially adaptable to the social
life of the Daily Worker Club. Many
of the Daily Worker Clubs that have
been established in the last few
weeks have held picnics and enter
tainments and have profited thereby.
Regular affairs two or three times
a month for the Daily Worker will
go a great way towards solving the
problem of income for the Daily as
well as providing maintenance for
the club.
No club is too small to arrange
an affair! No community is too
small to maintain n Daily Worker
Club! Only thirty clubs have been
formed since the idea was started
Considering that the Daily Work
err today reaches nearly 500 cities
and towns, thirty is not a very
big number to boast about. There
should he a Daily Worker Club in
every city AMI town in the U. S.
In which there is one or more sub
scribers, readers or sympathizers
of the Daily Worker.
Clubs of readers meeting together
for the purpose of reading, discus
sing, and criticizing the contents Of
the Daily Worker. as well as com
municating and exchanging ideas
with the Editorial Department, will
do a great deal to improve the char
acter of the Daily Worker and de-
velop the political understanding Of
the members of the club them
selves.
A meeting of the Daily Worker
Club of Linden, n. j., was held last
Friday. The meeting was opened by
Comrade Bristle, with Comrade
Spanarsliez acting as chairman. The
order of business was as follows:
l. What is the Daily Worker Read
ers' Club? 2. The affair of Sept 5.
3. The Subscription Drive and In
creased readers. 4. Strengthening
executive.
Comrade Bristls explained what
the Daily Worker Readers Club Is
and why there is such club. Dis
cussion was then INDUCED in by all
comrades, each one giving his opin-
ion as to how to enlarge the club
and also increase sales of the Daily

and was always prompt with her rent
when her husband was employed.
We called a meeting of the ten

ants demanded that Mrs. Reid be al

pay the rent when she gets money.
Second, we demanded that the land

FORD WAGE-CUT
THREAT RUMORED
Cork, Ireland, Plant
Gets Cut
Dear Conrade:

Dear Conrade:
notice that the Ford tractor
plant in Cork, Ireland, has cut wages.
1t has been working with a very
small force for some time, but nov
1t says it is going to open up again
full blast. This is very much like
what is happening here in Detroit.
The plant is closed down, except for
handful Of workers, and most of
the men laid off have had their
badges taken, so that they will be
taken back as new men at minimum
wages. Besides, the rumor is going
around that when the plant re-opens
wholesale wage-cut will go into eff
feet. It's only rumor, but rumors
are worth watching when they come
from the Rouge. BIC.
