FORT MYER LAUNDRY IS CHARGED
WITH TAKING WASHINGTON TRADE
Business of $4,000 Week Declared Lost by Local
Concerns Through Competition.

He explained that approximately 1000
laundry bundles week are being COL

Fort Myer laundry at a minimum loss
of $4,000 per week to local commercial

The cut-price competition by the
Government is possible, he claimed, only
because the laundry building rental, use
of trucks and other services are all
charged up to the national military
defense
These practices do not constitute
national defense, but conversely repre-

 MT. Lomen's plan provides that upon application by the owner of mining property and a sufficient showing by him to warrant conSid- eration, the U. s. Geological Sur vey would make an examination of the property and issue public report on it's possibilities.
 All money so expended would be charged against the property as a first lien and the advance so made by the government would be paid back from the first revenue pro- duced by the property. Advances so made would bear four per cent in- tereSt.

BARROW LISTS BOOKS
FOR LAW STUDENTS
Pens Suggestions to Woman Mem
Der of Southeastern Univer-
sity Glass.

In the midst of his preparation for
the honor staying trial in Honolulu,
Clarence Darrow, noted criminal law
yer, found time to pen some suggestions
to a Southeastern University woman
law student who sought advice as to
how best to attain success in law.
"I always dislike to give advice"
Darrow wrote Pearl l.. Stone, member
of Prof. Herbert r. Grossman's GRIM
inal law class at the Y. NJ C. A. COL
lege. "One never knows what to say
The most I can suggest is to read all
the good books you can"
Darrow then listed three books, The
Martyrdom of Man." by Wynwood
Read; The History of Civilization"
by Thomas Buckle, and The History
of the Warfare of Science with Theol-
ogy," by Andrew D. White. AS an
after-thought, in postscript, he added
"Folkways," by Sumner.
IT think you can get any of these
books at a good library" the lawyer
said.
The letter, in Darrow's handwriting,
was scribbled on single sheet of paper
and was mailed from Chicago shortly
before the attorney left for Hawaii to
conduct the defense in the Fortescue-
MaSsie case
Students of Dr. GroSSman's class
have shown much interest in the letter
and in the volumes recommended by
Darrow for aspiring lawyers.

KAY Francis Starred
In Light Play at Earle.

THEATERGOERS familiar with
l. the distinctive characteristics OF
Kay Francis, David Manners ana
Una Merkel will find them true to
type in Man Wanted" which un-
folds a plot OF obvious developments
at the Earle Theater. These three
carry the weight of the story ana
show no appreciable variation from
their customary style OF acting; WIN
the exception that Miss Francis mas
much more to do than usually falls
to her when, she is not performing
as a star. She Is introduced as a
feminine executive in publishing,
and engages Mr. Manners as a sec
retary His engagement to marry
another woman and her marriage TO
a wandering husband do not stand
in the way of the creation OF new
attachment. The arrangement OF
the marriage relations is the objec-
tive of the story.
Like some other recent film pro-
ductions, the interest in Man
Wanted depends less on the dra-
matte features than on the making
of characters and a spirited asSort-
rnent of experiences for the several
couples. There is a slight tendency
to exaggerate the personalities in
the play. but all three of the leaders
are credited with theatrical capacity
and have given their own concep-
tions of the mixture that develops
when two persons both troubled by
ties with partners who hold their
obligations lightly, are brought into
contact extensively in business.
MAN Wanted" is breezy entertain
ment.
The Earle also has a Bing Crosby
short film, with the songs OF which
this actor is capable. and presents
a stage program headed by the Nor
man Thomas Quintet in "Synco-
pated Breezes From the Southland"
The familiar drum artist carries his
comedy to the extreme, while the
pianist of the attraction gives fine
exhibition of playing. and the sing
ing and dancing are very effective.
