NEW CLEANING
PROCESS USED
Smyrna Cleaners To Be Exclu-
sive Users of Perm-Aceptic
Dry Cleaning in County
REsIsTS MILDEW. MOLD

The Smyrna Cleaners have just
completed arrangements to be the
exclusive Perm-Aseptic Dry Clean
ers in Kent County. The Perm-A-
septic Corporation granted a license
to the Smyrna Cleaners for the use
of their Perm-Aseptic process to
this local dry cleaning establish
ment. This sensational new pro-
cess was developed for the us.
Army during the war to combat
the problem of mildew, rot, and
bacteria that was attacking all
fabrics in the South Pacific Perm
Aseptic licked this problem by in
hibiting the fungi that cause de-
composition of fabrics. The dry
cleaning industry has kept pace
with American business, offering
consistently better service to its
consumers. The introduction of the
Perm-Aseptic process is certainly
a milestone in the cleaning indus
try. For the first time in the his
tory of commercial cleaning, anti
bacterial and antifungal properties
were impaired to clothes in the
cleaning process. But in a non
technical sense what does this
mean to the public. 1t means
clothes are now made resistant to
mildew, mold and rot; clothes that
fight bacterial growth; clothes that
ward off body odor. 1t means
clothes "Clean beyond Vision
1t is generally known that perspir-
alton has practically no odor-until
bacteria attack it and it decompos-
es. BY inhibiting bacterial growth,
you check odor at its source. PERM
Aseptized garments stay fresh and
sweet-smelling even while worn for
long periods of time. Discoloration
is frequently due to the action of
bacteria in normal perspiration.
Bacteria can't breed on a Perm
Aseptized garment, so fabrics stay
bright and last longer. In tests
made by the Army Quartermaster,
Fordham University and many
other research laboratories, they
found that Perm-Aseptized gar
ments lasted from 10 to so per cent
longer than untreated clothes. This
was attributed to the Perm-Asep-
tic treatment which retarded the
growth of bacteria and fungi which
weakens and causes decomposition
of fabrics. The Smyrna Cleaners
have also informed us that this
new process is available to all of
their customers at no increase in
cost.

Beginning of Central Park

In 1910, acting on a suggestion by
newspaper editor William Cullen
Bryant, New York City bought the
$40 acres comprising Central Park
for 1889, 700. That area is now
valued. on the basis Of adjoining
real estate, at $500, 900 an acre, or
more than $500, 900, 900, almost a
$50 per cent increase. After the
squatters. moonshiners and coun-
terfeiters were run out of the area,
5000 men worked almost II years
to give the park its present to-
biography.

Idaho Police Chase Weaving
Truck; Find Collie at Wheel

IDAHO FALLS, IDA.-Two Off
GERS, William Naef and Ray Jones,
pursued a truck they saw weaving
down the highway. 1t was quite n
job to get the driver to stop.
Ready for a drunk driver, an
argumentative driver, a sleeping
driver, an inexperienced driver, or
almost any other kind, they still
weren't ready for what they found
when they pulled the truck door
open-a collie dog on the drivers
seat, his paws on the wheel.
The vehicle had no other &C.
cupants.
Some time later, after a search
Of the neighborhood, the officers
solved the mystery. Two youngsters
admitted they had taken the truck
for a spin, saw the officers coming
and jumped out. leaving their dog
to do the driving.

County Supervisors Pass the
Buck TO Solve Legal TangIe

SUPERIOR, visit was a cool,
sunny day and Douglas county su-
pervisors had no stomach for any
kind Of red tape.
But there was that annoying little
detail Of an So coal bill that had to
be taken care Of. The coal was de-
ivered last winter to a relief client
who since had died. Now the coun'
ty had the bill.
1t was a legal puzzle over what
funds should be used to take care
Of it.
One look out Of the window at the
clear blue sky settled the matter
for the eight supervisors. Each
pulled out a dollar bill and clipped
il 10 the relief voucher.

Soybeans

Soybeans, being a leguminous
crop, should be inoculated before
they are planted. Uninoculated soy
beans growing on land for the first
time will probably not have the
nodules on the roots in which live
the organisms that fix the nitrogen.
Commercial legume inoculum can
be obtained from most of the seed
stores in eastern Kansas. This
should prove to be a good invest
ment.

Use of Bias Tape

One of the o important
sewing notions is bias fold tape. 1t
is practically indispensable to the
sewing woman. Bias tape is used
for binding, facing, trimming and
piping. Bias tape is cut on the bias,
that is, at an angle to the weave.
It should have great elasticity and
is intended to lie flat along curved
hens and seams.

Ninety Per Cent of Proposed
Bills in Congress Get Axe

WASHINGTON. - About 10, 900
bills we're introduced in the Both
congress and some of the 80 per
cent that never got anywhere make
interesting reading.
For a starter, there we're two
measures that no doubt stemmed
from annoying experiences suffered
by the congressman who introduced
them.
One would have permitted the
killing of starlings (birds famed for
their unerring aim) in the District
Of Columbia. The other would re-
quire Washington laundries to post
bond covering damage to custom
ers' wash.
In international matters legisla-
ton was proposed to cancel Fin
lands debt to the United States and
establish a department of peace"
to offset the department of war.
Another of the thousands Of bills
which died with the adjournment
of congress would have raised the
pensions to daughters of veterans
Of the War Of 1912.
