HOME LAUNDRY
CROWS FAST

Ten years of steady growth
marks the expansion of the Home
Laundry until today its services
are employed by thousands of
homes in Washington and nearby
Maryland and Virginia.
An addition to the plant Of the
Home Laundry, rapidly nearing
completion, will house the latest
equipment to care for it's many
services.
Home Laundry offers its patrons
variety of services to meet the
needs of every household: Damp
wash, thrifty service, rough dry,
flat work, minute-more, family
finish and dry cleaning.
T. A. Warner, sales manager,
speaking to the members of his
organization at a recent gather
ing, stated that housewives were
enthusiastic in their reception of
the improved Minute-More Serv-
ice in which everything is washed,
colors retaining their original
shade and white articles returned
snowy white.
Shirts and flat work are COM
pletely finished and only wearing
apparel may need slight touching
up-just a Minute More and it's
ready to wear. This service
ideally meets the requirements
of most homes, for its cost is
moderate.
Mr.. Warner also told the men
the business of the laundry dur
ing the past year was extremely
satisfactory and showed a marked
increase over that of the preced-
ing year.
Home Laundry washes every
thing in net bags. No laundry
marks are used except on bath
towels and shirts.

Oscar, who was held in
reverence by many a follower Of
the ponies, was part of the equip
ment of an alleged gambling
establishment at 1872 Eighteenth
st. N. w., which was raided
yesterday.
A sort of mascot, the tame
turtle roamed the elaborately
furnished rooms, now and then
attempting to climb to the lap
of some person in the place.
Those so favored by oscar were
believed to be marked for special
luck in their plays that day, SO
the story runs. Hence, Oscar
was treated with respect, not to
say something of awe.
This respect for Oscars lucky
propensities, however, did not
extend to the hardboiled mem
bers of the raiding squad who
cleaned out the place" yester-
day. Oscar was left to roam the
empty rooms in vain search for
someone to give him a kindly
