Mr.. Walker, 81, told the Judge he
got out q penny and held 1t in his
hand when the two men started MATCH
ing, but never got into the game and
Just looked on when he saw them hik-
ing the stakes. Then they told him
he was the loser Of $500, and took
his 800 when he told them he had no
more, he said.
But why didn't you leave II you
were not taking part in the match
ing?" the judge asked.
"I'd never been to Washington be-
fore and this man had promised to
take me to see the White HOUSE and
so I was waiting for him to 60 on"

Towels for the Kitchen

Linen dries by absorption, whereas cotton dries
BY surface attraction. Linen not only takes up
moisture but BY evaporation gives it off more
rapidly than do other textiles. Its smooth, sleek
surface enables It to give up dirt easily. That
is why linen is also the most efficient kitchen
toweling made.

CIO Affiliate
FiOhts "Ano0LQ0neated"

Widespread interest has been

These included two mass meet.

Claims were made by the WTU
organizers that the Amalgamated
is in reality o company union"
and that the workers had been
let down" by their leaders when q
suit seeking the abolition Of one
man cars was abandoned, ~
Amalgamated leaders pointed
QUO that a wage raise was secured
three years ago and another OBJ.
taired last year. They are also
negotiating q new contract with
the Capital Transit Company
nov. The former agreement on.
pired the first Of the month and
a 1S-day extension was agreed
upon.
This extension expires tomor
row. If Q new contract is not
negotiated by that time, Amalga,
mated leaders point out, the exist.
ing agreement provides that the
differences shall be adjusted
through arbitration instead Of by
q strike.
Claiming that they had been
given only four days in which to
muster their strength, WTU
leaders have asked the NLRB foH
an extension Of time.
Use Of One-man street cars and
the putting into service Of extra
buses during the morning and
evening rush hours, thus causing
"Split-tims" problems, are major
disputed points.

The social life Of every American household
centers about its dining table. The table, there
FORE should have charm, harmony of dec
Grafton that gives it compelling personality.
The classic tablecloth in homes of refinement
and culture has for ages been linen, for fine
linen has luster almost equal to that Of silk,
yet it will endure hard wear.
Linen possesses the characteristics that make
it the most suitable for table cloths. 1t does not
stain easily. COlOrngs Of fruit juice, tea, coffee
and other stains occurring most frequently wash
out Of pure flax linen with little difficulty.
A good quality linen improves with use. 1t
becomes whittier, more smooth and shiny, even
after continued launderings.

Luncheon Sets

The fact that linen does not take fermentation
easily has been entirely overcome by modern
dyestuffs. Linen is now given permanent and
beautiful colors. COlored linens no longer
have the whitish or grayish suggestion they
once had, nor do they develop it after con-
tinued launderings.
