He Goes With Other Girls
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl Of Is. I am
deeply in love with a boy who
doesn't care for me (although
he asks me for dates and, Of
course, I fill them). He goes
with other girls besides me;
that is the reason I don't think
he cares for me. Please, Miss
Fairfax, tell me what I can
do to win this boy?
A. P. H.
You must take leaf out Of
that boys book and have other
friends besides him. Sixteen is
entirely too young for boys and
girls to go in for any close cor
poration friendships that will
exclude other young people.
It's very natural and jolly for
boys and girls to go about to-
gether, but extremely i'll ad-
vised for them to become en-
gagged or to act like engaged
couples.

a large number of States speed limits
are set for various kinds OF traffic

Laundry Expert
Advises Careful
met Bag" Washing
Explains Why Manhattanis
Modern System 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.. E. F.
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 90 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 spurest 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.
Pleased By Long Wear
In a recent letter to the Man
haitian Laundry, Mrs. E. r. D.
writes:
%. 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
-. It is indeed a pleasure to
recommend you :"
This letter is typical of the many
received by Manhattan from salts
fed customers throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia.
Everything Delivered
in Three Days
Quite another Manhattan feature
which has found great favor with
Washington housewives is their s.
Day Collection and Delivery Ser
vice. In this highly developed sys-
tenn 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.
Many Money-Saving Services
Manhattan offers the housewife
q wide selection of economical SER
vices - from Complete Finished
Family to individual piece work.
There is a service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-
ceives Net Bag Care-which saves
you money by saving your clothes.

night in an address devoted to the

Bingham Approves View.
Approval Of the Hoover address was
expressed by Senator Bingham, Re-
publican, Connecticut, while Senator
Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas. criticized
it for failing to give definite recon-

President Hoover said the Federal Re-
serve system was inadequate to prevent
diversion of funds into "wast:ful spec

the banking system must be organized
to give greater protection to depositors
against failures"
He added, I'VE must determine
