believe the only way we can combat
this annoyance Is to not patronize
any firm indulging in this sort of
cheap advertising. One is forced to
answer all telephone calls on the
chance that one ignored might be
something of Importance, and it
really does seem shame that tele-
phone subscribers must be the vic
Tins of these unnecessary calls.

WASHER PROBLEM.
(From Mrs. w. H. c., Washington. J
Will some one who has used the
small whirl-dry type of washing
machine sold by two downtown de-
partment stores please tell me how
they manage to use it without too
much vibration? What do they set
it on so it will reach the sink and
still be solid when the current is
turned on. especially when spinning?
My sink has cabinets above, so there
is not room to set it on the drain
board. Anyway, the drainboard is
not wide enough. think it is just
grand and it certainly is the an
swer to our personal laundry prob
lem (bed linens, bath towels and
that sort Of thing are still sent to
the regular laundry, as we live in
an apartment house,. The only
drawback, so far, is the excessive
vibration. almost look for 1t to
take off" when it spins; in fact,
I have felt obliged to hold on to it,
actually, for the time 1t takes to
spin the clothes as dry as I like
them. do hope some one can sup
ply the answer. mo, 1t won't set in
the bath tub, either; I've even tried
that.)
I think the RICH is tops and
would like to see 1t published every
night and Sunday, too. I have the
clipping habit, and the RICH is al
ways well-clipped by the time I
finish with it.
