SHIPBUILDING
LOOMS UP BIG
k IN AMERICA
LONDON, Oct. 24 (by Associated
Press).—Sir Herbert Rowell, formerly
president of the British Shipbuilding
Employers’ Federation, who recently
returned from a four months’ tour of
the United States, Japan and China,
to investigate shipbuilding* in those
countries, says he is convinced that
Great Britain can hold its own place
in the struggle for maritime suprem
acy only by exerting every ounce of
its energy and brains.
“While in America,” he says, “I felt
myself in the midst of circumstances
which conveyed conclusively to my
mind a real potentiality both in ship
building and shipowning. I can not
dispel from my mind the possibility
of serious rivalry in the future when
I picture the transformation which
has taken place in America.
“I was surprised to find that ship
building in China and Japan was so
far advanced. When China awakens
we shall have another serious rival to
face.
“Japan,” he says, “has not devel
oped her shipbuilding industry in the
same degree as the United States, j
Raw material is her greatest need and
difficulty in shipbuilding, and, in ad
dition, the Japanese have not got com
mercial enterprise in the same degree
as the Americans. Generally speak
ing, the Japanese will not risk their
money as the Americans do.”

DECIMAL SYSTEM NOT
FAVORED IN ENGLAND
•
LONDON, Oct. 24 (by Associated
Press).—The royal commission which
has been considering the possibility of
introducing the decimal system into
this country has reported that it would
be unwise to adopt the plan of deci
malizing the sovereign. This, says the
report, would lead to great disturb
ances in social and industrial circles.
It added that all the schemes suggest
ed would lead to the abandonment of
the sovereign as a standard and work
ing unit of international exchange, and
therefore would be fraught with risks.

A Net
■ for washing your filmy things
The cleansing of the filmy, cob
webby things that come to our
laundry in your family bundle—
the silken underwear, dainty
shirtwaists and gossamer Geor
gettes and laces—has become a
fine art with us.
These articles of apparel, to
which a scrubboard would be
ruination, are never touched by
awkward hands when we wash
them.
In lieu of the none-too-gentle
practices of the laundress, we
employ a much safer method.
We place these finer articles in
special nets—each according to
its kind —for washing by gentle
sousing and rinsing.
These nets are purse-like in
shape — in fact they closely re
semble the common mesh purse.
They are somewhat larger, how
ever, and made of cloth instead
of metal.
Secure in these nets, the sheerest
articles are cleansed without
coming into contact with wash
boards or the hands of workers.
Pure soft water and suds of a
mild white soap, weaving in and
out through the meshes, give
your things a freshness and
beauty that make them as new.
The care we use on garments
and apparel of this kind is typi
cal of that which we exercise in
the washing of everything. No
where is there any friction and
rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
Your clothes and the clothes of
your family, will last longer if
you will send them to us to be
washed.
If Monday is an ordeal, we have
a simple relief. Just let us know
and we will have our driver call
for your family bundle.
