*WNE MEN OF
CALIFORNIA IN
LOSING FIGHT:
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 16 (by As
sociated Press).—California wine men
apparently have lost their fight to
have Washington’s legislative ratifi
tion of the national prohibition amend
ment submitted to the voters for final
approval or rejection.
f As a result, it is thought, the rati
fication will stand and Washington
will be counted among the states
whose approval of the amendment is
necessary to make it effective.
The fight of the California men was
ended, it is thought, when a recent
count showed that the California
Grape Growers’ Protective Associa
tion failed by 1,668 to get enough sig
% natures on referendum petitions ask
ing that the measure be passed on to
the people. The petitions carried
20,989 names. To secure referendum
action 22,657 names were necessary.,,
The final count ended a fight which
began immediately after the close of
the last Washington legislature,
which ratified the amendment. At
that time attorneys for the associa
tion filed affidavits to invoke refer
endum action. Secretary of State I.
i^H. Howell refused to file the affidavit
^until directed by the state supreme
court.
The wine men then sent petitions
over the state for signatures. A few
minutes before the closing time on
the last day permitted for filing the
petitions were put on file in the of
fice of the secretary of state.
^ Questions were then raised as to
whether or not all the signers were
voters. The grape growers sought ju
dicial assistance by asking the su
preme court to issue a write of man
damus to compel certification as legal
signers the names of voters dropped
from registration lists by reason of
failing to vote at previous elections.
The court denied the petition and
later refused to rehear the case.

How We Sterilize
Your Family Washing
Unseen foes of good health lurk all about us—
in the air, on our clothes. We know that
clothes that merely look clean may be highly
impure. To be truly clean, clothes must be
sterilized as well as washed.
That is one of the many reasons our laundry
service should appeal to you. When you
send them to us, your bed linens, garments
and household things are more than washed.
They are purified.
We are able to do this because we completely
change from nine to twelve times the waters
in which we wash your clothes. In addition,
we use a number of disinfecting solutions.
One of these is “javelle Water”.
There is absolutely no chance for disease be
ing spread through the modern laundry”, de
clares Dr. H. G. Elledge of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research, who has investigated
laundry methods.
Can you be as sure of this cleanliness and
sterilization when you entrust your family bun
dle to some unknown washwoman?
*
Let us help you safeguard the health of your
family. Send your family washing to us.
Telephone us and we will instruct our driver
to call.
