Canada’s higher tariff on American automobiles is regarded as a retaliatory measure by Senator George, Democrat, of Georgia. In _a statement yesterday through the Democratic National Committee George sald high-priced American cars would be virtually excluded from Canada under the new rate. “The order does not have its genesis in the duty levied in the Smoot-Hawley tariff act on foreign-made automobiles and trucks,” he added. “The duty in our tariff act on automobiles is entirely useless, since we do not import as many as a thousand cars in a year. “The Smoot-Hawley tariff act did, however, deal a severe blow to Canadian imports, We recklessly undertook to exclude Canadian imports by duties virtually prohibitive. ~The Canadian | Government is simply following a pro- gram of retaliation.” | George said official figures showed American exports to Canada in Jan- | ury, 1931, fell off $154,849,000 compared with the same month last year, and imports declined $127,967,000. For the seven months ending in Jan- ulrn. he added, exports to all countries declined $1,010,956,000 and imports 916,045,000, making a total “loss” of | $1,927,001,000.

FOR SKIN IRRITATIONS Modern Laundry Saves Money By Saving Clothes Manhattan Expeért Explains Net Bag System FAR SUPERIOR TO OLD HOME METHODS Clothes Actually Look Better And Wear Longer Present-day laundry metbods, which preserve clothes as well as clean them, are far superior to the old home method of rubbing and scrubbing, according to Mr. E. F. Wesely, chief of the Research Department of Manhattan Laundry. Mr. Wesely attributes a large part of the Manhattan Laundry’s success to their Net Bag System of washing. Manhattan Laundry, long a pioneer in developing better laundering meth- ods, adopted the Net Bag for washing clot es six years ago. Clothes, they agreed, could be washed just as clean in net bags and would wear longer it rubbing and scrubbing were eliminated. Today, Manbattan still features the Net Bag System, and the activities of the Laundry’s Research Department are constantly directed toward thé per- fection of cleaner and safer methods of washing elothes. Manhattan Laundry justly deserves the slog “We Save You Money by Saving Your Clothes.” Manhattan famous Net Bag System of washing, as described by Mr. Wesely, follows : First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material Into individual net bags which bear the customer’s name and contain only that customer’s articles, Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subject to the gentle cleansing action of swirling hot suds which penetrates every single thread of each garment and loosens every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps and soft, filtered water are used in washi after first having been inspected and tested by t! Research Department. Many rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every speck of dirt from the clothes and leaving the fabrics refreshed and clean. They are then dried, starched where necessary and ironed by the most modern methods. That clothes wear longer and look better when washed in Net Bags has been proven by test after test. For ine stance, two shirt v the same, are washed fifty times each, one in a net bag, the other by hand. At the end of the test the net-bag washed shirt showed absolutely no signs of wear, while the hand-washed shirt had be- come a sad combination of rough edges, torn seams and broken buttons. Other tests on all sorts of wearing apparel are being carried on regularly and in every case show the Net Bag System to be far superior in preserving the original sheen of the cloth, At Manhattan the Nets Get the Wear and the Clothes Get the Wash.
