Who Ate in Public
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-A Chicago
Bar Association Committee and a
State prosecutor today were in
vestigating the case Of Albert Yoos,
45-year- old baker. who on August
10 was sent to Jail in lieu of a 5000
fine imposed after he was found
eating some bread and frankfurters
IN a vacant LOTT He was charged
with disorderly conduct.
Yoos, who had $3.50 on his per-
son, was fined $500 by Judge Justin
F. Mccarthy Of Municipal Court
and has since been serving out the
time at the rate Of 50 a day rather
than pay it.
Leon M. Despres, vice chairman
OF the Bar Association Committee
on defense of prisoners. said his
group felt Yoos got q raw deal
and that he had found no evidence
that the German-born baker had
committed any, offense to justify
the fine. -.
Maurice j. Mettel, assistant States
attorney. who is investigating
termed the fine gross miscarriage
Of justice"
"The worst Yoos should have been
given" Mr.. Mettle said, was a
mental examination"
At the time of the hearing, Yoos
said he was unemployed and had
been evicted from his rooming
house. The $3.50 was his life
savings.

Gallinger Hospital, where every
day is wash day, had its laundry
problem licked this morning. when
it's new $4,000 laundry began
turning out freshly washed clothes
and linens.
When all OF the hospitals new
laundry equipment has been in
stalled by next month, Gallinger
will be entirely self-sufficient in its
washing needs.
Until now, the municipal hospital,
which averages 1886 pieces Of
soiled clothing a week, has had to
send out part of each weeks laun-
dry to Glenn Dale Sanatorium and
Lorton Reformatory.
According to DR.. Alvin r.
Sweeney, Gallinger superintendent.
this has cost the institution more
than $4,000 a year.
Construction of the new laundry
was made possible when Congress
authorized the building Of a new
hospital kitchen completed two
years ago. The old kitchen In the
Surgery Building and several dining
rooms which had adjoined it were
then remodeled in early 1916 to
adapt them for laundry use.
Guard Against Contagion.
The new laundry is located across
the hall from the old one, which will
continue to be used for sorting and
marking linens as it comes in.s
The most important aspect OF a
hospitals laundry problem is to
make sure, no contagion is spread
from diseased patients. This fea-
ture commands, special attention. IN
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS manual con-
tact by laundry workers is reduced
to a minimum and temperatures
are regulated to keep them safely
above. the sterilization point. 8
Dirty linen and clothing is taken
in the new laundry to one of seven
large washing machines, where IL
is thoroughly scrubbed for about
IS minutes in water as hot as 100
