LAl NDRTMEN TO MEET The Cape May and Atlantic County Laundryowners' Association will hold 'their regular monthly -meeting at the Progressive League on Friday evening, December 9th, at Cape MayThe following editorial, heade^ "Be Fair to Your Laundry," appeared in the Little Rtfck, Arkansas, Democrat: "Among the jokes that going into the discard, along with the mother-in-law joke, are those which have as - their butt the laundryowner and his supffosed. destructive activities with the clothes that are entrusted to his care, "This joke has been rendered obsolete by the .laundryowner himself, who has taken it more seriously, perhaps, than it ever waa intended or - taken by the public that laughed at it, and who has spent hundreds or thousands of dollars, in conjunction with his brethern throughout the « United States, in research and experimental work under the direction of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Ke- - search1, at Pittsburgh, Pa-, devising methods of cleaning which do not work injury to clothes and fabrics"Through this experimental work, scientific methods of handling clothes ; Wave been worked out and put into . /ruse by the up-to-date laundry, which make it better than a good bet that your garments will receive no rougher usage than they would get 'at the ; hands of the home laundress, and ar. cleaned more effectively than is pos- ( sible by hand methods. "In View of the fact that for many ! people the laundry is an absolute necessity, the hand laundress not being , . available or within reach of the purse, , * this is a situation that ought to , cause general rejoicing. "One thing should be kept in mind- | That is that the lau'ndy receives the , ■ blame for many injuries which have j occurred before the article makes its trip through the tub, and which the • soap and water process merely brings out Sticking pins in clothes usually breaks a few fibres, which later give way entirely and start a hole- Knotted threads in fahpcsNof a second grade get rough treatment in ironing and start a fault which laundering accentuates- Cheap goods filled out in body with paper or starchy products show up' after the first laundering'To the thoughtless, these things immediately react against the laundryowner and result in injustice to -> him. J'No clothing yet devised by man is indestructible. Wear and tear get in their work, and while the laundry occasionally causes damage, it is the exception rather than the rule under , modern scientic methods. 'The laundry is a necessary servant of modern spciety. It .is doinga delicate job efficiently and with"® minimum of wear and tear- Let us be fiir to all men, even to the dryowner"The public laundry is inevitable, necessary, desirable, and has come to stay- With the growth in number and business of the public laundry has come a study by the associations of laundryowners of the science of laundering- The laundry subjects the fabrics' to" no rougher usuage thjg, the home laundress does and usually gets the fabrics cleaner.

• "The User injures many fabrics so ( * that a trip to the laundry , merely serves tp bring our the injury. Sticking pins into cloth usually breaks a few fibers, which later give way dur- j ing washing and start a holeT~ "Catch- j ing a shirt waist on a rough place r in tfie furniture, or bed linen on the v corner of a spring, will cause a small t tear or weaken a few fibers, which v even gehtle laundering will break and j use as the start ot-a tear or a hole- j Cutting bread /on the tablecloth or c drawing a kniilf edgfTor fork prongs % over the tablecloth'' anil napkins t causes almost Invisible .injuries which j the laundry is Sure to Jhake visible- ( "Occasionally the fabric, itself is at fault- The thread in one direction ] may be exkellent, but in the "filling" j may be paper or other inferior ma- B terial. Knotted threads in the . second quality of fabrics cause trouble as the knots stand out and get rough treatment in use or in ironing, tearing the thread and starting a fault which subsequent laundering accentuates. Cloth may be improperly dy- 1 ed so that the chemicals used or the ■ process of dyeing weakens the cloth 1 • appreciably. 'notice to gunners j AH persons are forbidden to tres- , pass with dog or gun on any of the ■ property of the late Emlen Physic, , either in Cape May City or in Lower . Township" All trespassers will be dealt with according to the law.SAMUEL F. ELDREDGE, Atty- for Emlen Physic Estate. ll-12-tf-686

18 SHOPPING DAYS BEFORE XMAS MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN CAPE MAY COUNTY A most interesting aSd thoroughly prepared work jwith the" above title comes to our Society's library from the* publisher, Albeit R. Han^lijf Cape May- The author is Rev/Paul Sturievant Howe, Ph. D-, rector of the Church of the .Advent, at Cape May, and the son of Rev. Eldredge Gerry Howe, of Plymouth, Mass. It would almost seem, at a -glance of the 72-page index to i this work (which is of 464 pages) that everybody in Cape May couhty, past or present, descends frorh "John Howland, the Pilgrim."" The names of Edmunds, Eldredge, FosjM, ' Hand, Hughes, Learning, Reeves and Smith are but a few of those of whom many scores are named as in the Pilgrim line- The first 93 pages are" historic: al; then follow genalogical records of the Pilgrim ancestors of Cape May persons- There are nine illustrations. Evidently the volume is the Work of ' "three years," as Stated m the '/Foreword," but most authors would ' require twice that period to accomplish what .has been performed. The i author is engaged now on another work on the general subject, to be 1 entitled 'The Religious and Legal .Constitution of the Pilgrim State," i and he is clearly well-equipped to ; make it an authoritative volume, r — Proceedings New Jersey Historical ■ Society.
