Says "Wet Boom" Fails.

While Senator Brookhart of Iowa was
reporting the collapse of what he termed
the beer BOOM" the Association Against

it would ask both major parties to

Brookhart. Republican prohibitionist,
saw in the recent Missouri congressional
election a revelation of the sentiment OF
the American people outside the wet

The whole wet aggregation. Wall
Street and all, was only able to muster
1000 out of a total of $4,000 votes, "
Brookhart asserted.

President Henry H. Curran Of the
anti-dry organization meanwhile count

vote once more on prohibition. He
added:
Our association will ask both parties
to put planks in their national plat
forms next Spring pledging their Sena-
tOrs and Representatives TO give this
case to the great jury of the whole
American people"
No sooner was the ink dry on the
American Legion referendum vote,
Cunan said, than Senator Frazier of
North Dakota followed Senator McNary
of Oregon and Senator CouZenS of
Michigan in insisting that the time has
come to allow the people to vote on
the question of repeal"
In the same week Representatives
Perkins of New Jersey Pettengill of In

Crusaders to Confer Here.
From the Crusaders, anti-prohibition
organization, came a statement that
the conference of commanders here
Wednesday will result in plans being
worked out to bring about united
action of Crusader battalions all over

Contending "the only ultimate solu-
ton of the control of liquor must start
with repeal of the eighteenth amend

campaign would be waged in each con-
gressional district seeking to persuade
members of Congress to vote for an
immediate change in the Volstead act.

REPUBLICANS CLAIM
VICTORY IN SPAIN
Most of % Deputies in the Interim

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, October 5.-Victory for
most of their candidates in the interim
election to the National Assembly was
claimed today by Republican factions
allied with the provisional government.
Seventeen provinces voted yesterday
for % Deputies to fill vacancies created
when those winning several seats in
the last general election were required
to resign all but one. Returns are in
complete, but unofficial reports indi-
cate most of the contests were close.
The voting in Madrid, Barcelona,
Valencia and Seville, where there was
one vacancy each, was watched in
tently for signs of opposition to the
present regime. Early returns indicated
the Left wing candidate. Manuel Cos
sio, had defeated Jose Antonio Primo
de Rivero, son of the late dictator, who
campaigned from Madrid to vindicate
his fathers policies.
The election was without disorders
except for fist fights. There were few
arrests. Only about 40 per cent of the
electorate in the provinces involved
participated, as compared with 20 per
cent in the regular election.

| MODERN LAUNDRY
|EXPERT EXPLAINS
l"NET 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, ac-
cosding to Mr.. Z. f. Wesley, chief Of
| the Research Department of Mankat-
tan Laundry. Mr.. Wesley attributes a
large part of the Manhattan IAundrys
success to their Net Bag System Of
| washing
Manhattan Laundry adopted the Net
Bag for washing clothes six years ago.
Clothes, they agreed, could be washed
just as clean in net bags and would
wear longer if rubbing and scrubbing
were eliminated.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag Sys-
tenn 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 ar
| ticles. 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 cleans
ing 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
department. Many rinsings of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
| trace of dirt from the clothes and
leaving the fabrics refreshed and clean.
They are then dried, starched where
necessary and ironed by the most
| modern methods.
That clothes wear longer and look
better when washed in Net Bags has
been proven by test after test. For
instance, two shirts, exactly the same,
were washed fifty times each, one III a
net bag, the other by hand. At the
end of the test the net-bag washed
shirt showed absolutely no signs OF
wear, while the hand-washed shirt had
become a sad combination of rough
edges, torn seams and broken buttons.
Other tests on all sorts of wearing
apparel are being carried on regularly
and in every case show the Net Bag
System to be far superior in preserving
the original sheen of the cloth. At
Manhattan the Nets Get the Wear and
the Clothes Get the Wash.
