SALVAGE WORKERS AID GROUNDED SHIP Newest U. S. Cruiser Passesl Speed Trial in Rescuing 497 Passengers. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 1—Salvage work was underway today on the liner Harvard, coastwise passenger ship which went aground in a fog early Sat- urday at Point Arguello, north of here. While her 497 passengers, holiday excursionists from San Francisco, told of being set afloat in lifeboats and later picked up and brought here by the Navy's newest fighting ship, the cruiser Louisville, the Harvard rolled in waters which may become her grave. Condition Reported Bad. “Condition of Harvard is serious,” radioed R. S. Gardner, salvage expert, at the scene aboard the tug Peacock. “Will not stand any bad weather.” Installation of pumps was begun. If they are able to clear the holds suffi- clently of water, the gashes torn in the ship's hull by the hidden reef will be plugged, providing they are not too large. This done, an attempt will be made to tow her from the reef. First of the inquiries to determine the cause of the disaster was called today by Federal officials, with Capt. Samuel A. Kennedy, chief hull inspec- tor, and J. A. Moody, chief boiler in- spector, presiding. Capt. Edward J. Marquart, comman- der of the Louisiana, said the trip of his ship to the aid of the passengers was used also &s an opportunity to run When the Harvard S O 8 was re- ceived, the Louisville was on an econo- my test. running with one boler. The t'emaining seven boilers immediately were fired and the cruisers, designed for a 32-knot speed, made the 133 nau- tical miles to the Harvard at a 33-knot pace. Blind Pbone Man for R. A.

Remarkable decreases in the number of children leaving school in England in the next few years indicate that for some time there will be more jobs for the young than applicants. In 1933 there will be only 150,000 boys and 146,- 000 girls, in 1934 the number of boys will be reduced to 142,000 and of girls to 141,000. There will be fewer girls still in 1935. The scarcity is expected to become less pronounced in 1936, but the shortage is expected to continue for several years. Manhatian Saves You Mon- eya New Way . .. by Sav- ing Your Clothes!

CALL DECATUR 1120 ) MANHATTAN Laundry Net Bags Save You Money VIRGINIA OFFICE e _WILSON BOULEVARD AND MILITARY ROAD, ROSSLYN, ‘By Saving Your Clothes VIRGINIA LAUNDRY EXPERT ADVISES CAREFUL “NET BAG”WASHING Saves le Money By Saving Your Clothes Present-day laundry methods, which’ preserve clothes as well as clean them, are far superior to the old home method of rubbing and serubbing, ac- cording to Mr. E. F, Wesely, chief of the Research Department of Manhat- tan Laundry. Mr. Wesely attributes & large part of the Manhattan Laundry’s | success to their Net Bag System of . washing. Manhattan Laundry adopted the Net ' Bag for washing clothes six years ago. Clothes, they agreed, could be washed just as clean in net bags and would wear longer if rubbing and serubbing were eliminated. Manhattan's famous Net Bag Sys-| tem of washing, as described by Mr. Wesely, follows: First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material and placed in individual net bags which bear the customer” me and contain only that customer's ar- ticles. Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subjected to the gentle cleanse ing action of swirling hot suds which penetrate each garment and loosen every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps and soft, filtered water are used, after first having been inspected and tested by the Research Department. Many' rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every trace 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 instance, two shirts, exactly the same, werewashed fifty times each, one in & 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 become a sad combination of rough edges, tarn 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. Customer Pleased Bium Wear Praises Net Washing In a recent letter to the Manhattad hnndry Mre. E. R. D. writes: o o But the one actual llct t.hlt pleases me most is that the clothes do not show as much wear as they did when I had my laundry done at home. o o .
