Three PIonts

ODETROIT, Sept. 3O-(P)--
Thirty thousand automobile
workers in three major plant
were made idle today following
strikes involving single depart
ments in two of the factories.
The Briggs Manufacturing
Co. attributed the complete
shutdown of its Mack Avenue
Plant, which employs 10000, to
IAN incxcusable wildcat strike,
the fifteenth in a series during
the past sixty days.
The Plymouth Division of
Chrysler Corp which likewise
employs approximately 10000,
closed short time after the
Briggs Plant, which supplies
Plymouth bodies. Chrysler Of
ficials said it was impossible to
continue operations in the Ply
mouth Division while the Briggs

them is doubly important now
that a shortage looms ahead.
Proper washing helps to pro-
long their life. First sort the
stockings as to color, then pre-

soft water, lukewarm, and a
really mild soap, thoroughly dis
solved. Whisk the stockings
(lightest color first, then each
assorted batch separately about
in the suds for about two
minutes. Heels and toes may be
carefully rubbed. Rinse in soft,
warm water until all soap Is re-
