M odern Laundry
Expert Explain s
'1Net 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.. E. F.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry.
Mr.. Wesley attributes 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 go 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:
q. 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
fed 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-
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.
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 a service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-
ceives. Net Bag Care-which saves
you money by saving your clothes.

$4,000 AWARD
GIVEN DANCER

A movietone film, depicting Al
berto HOLMAN FerroyroS, profeS-
sional dancer whirling tango in
a Greenwich Village cafe 10
months after an accident in
which he suffered hurts at the
Fox Theater here, through the
loss of a toe, proved unavailing
to offset the claim, for Ferryros
was yesterday awarded a $4,000
verdict.
The dancer, whose stage name
IS De Lima, sued the company,
SAYING his foot was caught in a
part of the moving stage in 1928
and that one of his toes had to
be amputated.
The judge and jury appeared
at the Fox studios on New Jersey
Avenue to witness the film.
De Lima countered that his abil-
ity was nevertheless impaired, be-
cause he is now able to Whirl on
his toe but three times, whereas
before the accident he whirlled
seven times. Attorneys j. v. Nor
gan and w. P. Houghton ap-
reared for him.

GODDESS GIVEN
NEW Crown

The perilous task of furnishing
up the millinery which adornS the
Goddess of Freedom atop the
dome of the Capitol was started
today.
Charles Fries, who ordinarily
is simply general foreman of
painters and decorators of the
Capitol, essayed the role of mil
liner-in-chief to the goddess and
scaled the top of her mammoth
figure nearly 800 feet above the
street.
Ten platinum points, stuck here
and there about the statues head,
were removed at some hazard.
They are designed to protect the
Capitol from lightning.
How adequately they serve their
purpose was testified by the worn
out condition in which they were
found by Fries.
The points were sent today to
local jewelr, who will rebuild
them. Tomorrow, if it is a clear
day. Fries algain will make the
ascent to the top and replace
them.
The tips are replaced every four
years. They costs about $50 apiece
and are about three inches long.
