Why a Master?
Yotk,should have your cleaning work, done only by a “Master” Cleaner simpjy because
he must be proved and attested BEFORE he is allowed to display, the ‘Master” emblem as
member of the National Association of Dyers &
Cleaners of the L'nited States and Canada.
First and foremost, he must OWN* his own _ IBH. V,
plant. If he is a “Master” he never “farms out” his
work to some wholesale cleaner —he must WATCH I
his work first hand, start to finish. ' VyH H It

neighboring towns also suffered severe

“The worst shock lasted five or six
second." the Catholic father wrote. “It
was night. About 9:30 two shocks oc
curred, followed by another which crack
ed the houses in two.”
The letter tells how the fathers rushed
for the open while walls fell all about
them. From a nearby garden they look
ed upon an area of destruction in which
fires rood began breaking out. »
“AVe left the garden,”- the letter went
on, “The streets were choked with
debris. I ventured out into the city and
managed to reach the place where the fire
was fiercest. General Ii was there with
his soldiers but could do nothing. The
fire made rapid progress in the direction
of the mission. At 1 o’clock in the
morning the house next to Ours was in.

17,500,000 CARP NOW I
IN USB IN AMERICA |
Country Spends Eight Billion Annually
For the Purchase and Maintenance of
Autos.
Washington, June 7.—The economic
improvement of motor transportation is
emphasized in a report prepared b.v the
American commission on highway trans
port for submission to the third biennial
Conference of the international chamber
of commerce at Brussels this month.
As made,public today, by the chamber'
of commerce of the United States the
report says Americans now spend SB,-
000,0000.000 annually in the purchase
and maintenance of automobiles, with
latest figures showing 17.500,000 pas
senger cars hnd tracks in use in the
United States, or one to every seven in-!
habitants. The widespread use of the j
motor car has contributed much to the
increase of billions of dollars in the
wealth and resources of the country it
finds, pointing out especially the “revo
lution” this development has wrought in
the life of the farm.
t The report state, however, that mis
takes have been made in tfic development
of motor transportation in the United
■Staten.
“Tlte fuifutionis which it ci>uld bet
«erve and its relation to other transpor-1
fatiop factors.” It explains, “were not ■

! “But as the development has proceeded
it has become evident that motor trajw
: pprtatian is a utility which can render
, valuable services not alone in the definite
1 additions, which it makes in national
j wealth, but to the more far reaching ef
fect which it has upon the social struc
, tore on the standards of living dnd na
tionalism. The motor car has performed
j a significant function in eliminating scc
' tional differences and the manifold uses
• of modern highway transportation are
welding the nation into a homogenous
whole. The development of motor trans
portation which has taken place* in the
United States will inevitably come in
other countries.”
Worthless Dogs.

The Enquirer has had considerable to
say about the many worthless dags that
roam Union coirtt.v. These animals
cruse a real menace to human life in that
as many as twenty-nine persons have
already this year taken the Pasteur treat
ment against rabies. Numerous horses
and cows have been bitten, and as many
as a dozen head*of cattle have gone mad
and been killed. It is possible many
| animals bitten, and owners unaware of
it. may become a soured of trouble in the
iqopihs to ehme.
