Work Done by Laundry Has
Fresher Appearance,
Saves Worry.

Clothes and household linen have
habit of getting gray-a fact
which puzzles the ordinary person.
No matter how carefully they are
washed, and even when washing
powders are used, the touch of the
iron causes the clothes to become
dingy.
This is due, principally, to the
hard water. The action of soap and
other detergents upon the salts in
the water forms curd-the thing
that rings bath tubs.
This gets into the mesh Of the
cloth, and it not only turns gray I'M
der the iron, but also it stiffens the
f1bers and causes them to break.
NO matter how carefully clothes
are washed, this will happen. The
best remedy, in fact, the only one,
is to send them to laundry where
soft water can be used.
Housewives might send their
washing to the Pilgrim Laundry
after they have done it, and they
will be astonished at the change
they make in the appearance Of the
clothing and linen.
OF course, the sensible thing to do
Is to send the clothes dirty and let
the laundry demonstrate what a
wonderful difference their facilities
make.
Clothes and linen can not be
made clean with hard water. Since
they can not be made clean, they
can not be white and bright in ap-
pearance.
The laundry can do this and do it

wish to shop. Store executives ex-
pect to see this new community
center rapidly spring into popu-
larity.
The crystal studio is the only
downtown broadcasting studio so
readily accessible to the public, and
of such size and so deliberately
equipped. The individual control
board for the announcer in his
special booth is an innovation as
well as the two nicrophones in use.
BroadcaSting originates in the
store studio at els and II a. m.
each shopping day and from 4:30
TO 4:45 and from to 5:25 D. m.
These programs are sent to the
main studio, amplifled and relayed
to Paramount, Ind. about eight miles
from the city, where the WKBF
transmitter sends it into the air.
The Pettis company store is the
first department store in the city
to have its own crystal studio, which
is equipped in a very elaborate and
tasteful manner particul arly as to
draperies, floor covering, furniture
and other accessories.

Created for Public on
West Side.

Identification Of the ugly spots
of city has more than an esthetic
value. Granted that such spots are
necessary, as the result Of industrial
progress. when they have served
their purpose they offer site that
usually can be converted into a
public park.
One Of the finest examples Of
such work in the United States is
the conversion Of the bleak stone
outcropping now known as Morn
ings!de park in New York City.
Here an apparently useless cliff
has been transformed into world
known beauty spot, with a ire
mendous increase in the value Of
property in the neighborhood, and
offering TO the poor and rich alike
q recreation spot that brings nat
ural beauty into the lives of mil
lions. Indeed, for the matter of
that, Central park in New York

existed. Artificial means must be
found.
There is, however, one develop
ment in the city now along this line
that promises to astonish the city
builders of other communities. 1t
is the great recreation center now
planned for the Harding Raymond
streets site.
Here Scared and excavated

Island to Be Included
Plans include big island in the
center Of the lake. on which land
scape artists and architects will be
asked to exercise their arts in the
creation of a natural-appearing
park with recreation buildings.
All around the lake will be bath
ing beaches, drives, golf links ten
mis- courts, and other amusements
in keeping with the contemplated
high character Of the place.
Thus far, though this place has
been intended from the first as a
playground for the humblest citi-
zens as well as the wealthy. the
project is in private hands.
Work is going forward under a
systematic plan, though it doubtless
will be several years before it is

~. Taxi-Driyer in Fake War On Gangs

NEW YORK. - How MulrooneyS
cossacks, under the guise of fight
ing "gangsters" deliberately shot
down and killed Herbert Hasse, a
taxi-cab driver, shooting him down
like a dog though he was an innocent
victim, is told in series of sffi-
davits by witnesses published in the
New York Daily Mirror.
Hasse was picked up by a couple
Of hold-up men who forced him to
drive to the Mendoza Fur Dyeing
Co. where they stuck up the cashier
On the way out policemen began to
fire at the hold-up men, and though
Hasse had his hands in the air, and
never had a gun, the cops walked
up to this worker and shot him dead.
Chief Cossack Mulrooney, who de-
lights in rounding up hundreds of
unemployed workers to give the i'm
preston of feverish raids against
gangsters, so that the big gangsters
allied with the police can go scott
free, is trying TO cover up the open
and cold-blooded murder of Hasse.
One witness declared in his affi-
davit: Il heard a woman in the
crowd pleading with a uniformed
policeman and a detective to get
medical aid for the driver" And
the detective answered: why don't
you sneak off to Russia, and mind
your own business"
How Hasse was harrassed by both
the police and gangsters, who seemed
to be acting together, is told in an
other affidavit: This witness says:

at the head Of the driver CHasse).

ILGWU EXPELS
MANY WORKERS
IN LOCAL 80
Drive on Militants to
Put Over Wage Cut
Agreement

NEW YCRK.-To clear the road
for coming to a wage cut agreement
with the two Hattie Carnegie dress
shop bosses, Harry Greenberg, man
ager Of Local 80, I. L. @. W. u, has
instituted a reign of terror in the
local, expelling all known militants.
Don Wishnewsky, Morris Good
man, Bruska Weiner, Rose Schur-
man and others were expeIl on the
technical charges Of not paying their
dues. The real reason for their ex-
pulsion was that Greenberg and his
clique feared that the left wing
workers would put up strong slate
in the coming elections and wage a
successful fight against him.
Had Built the Local.
The expelled workers were out
standing builders of the local since
its inception.
The Hattie Carnegie shops recent
ly broke contractual agreement with
the local. Greenberg's ostensible
opposition to the wage cuts demands
sprang from his policy of clearing the
way Of the militants to arrive at an
understanding with the bosses
against the workers interest.
The expelled members were on
strike for "a weeks and have been
unemployed since then and as re-
suit of the betrayal Of the strike.
The progressive members Of Local
SO are calling for an open forum for
Thursday, 3 p. M, at Imperial Hall,
55th st. and 3rd Ave. At this forum
the workers will discuss the present
situation and what can be done to
organize a real struggle against the
bosses and their agents Of Local SO.
The ladies' tailors and dressmakers
are called upon to come to this
forum and fight the expulsion and
organize for real struggle to reestab-
lish union conditions in the shops.
