A full grown tree reaches the

It was observed that the tree thriv

Drop (n at the college laundry
rome time. Introduce yourself to
Mr. G. t. Ayers, manager of that
branch of the Department of Build
ings and! College Utilities, and ac
quaint yourself by bis willing ex
planations and some intelligent ob
servations with his side of the
laundry question—that of launder
ing and handling some thirty-five
hundred bundles weekly ia the
most efficient manner possible un
der the limited facilities he has at
his disposal.
• Mr. Ayers will gladly let you
look ifi 9n tha one hundred and
ten employees and see for yourself
just what makes a double shift
necessary in cleaning the approx-
iimtely ten thousand pieces that
are handlsd* daily. Furthermore,
he wiH take you through the plant,
explain the various operations,
and listen sincerely ^tO your objec
tions and criticiama, for he avers
a desire to serve the student body
in the best manner possible.
If you'd care to trace poor bun
dle through the plant, the first
step of the many k goes through
ia the colWt Kin. After the pack
ages are uiked up, they are check
ed in at the laundry and counted
ia lota qf eighty-five, which are
kept separate during the complete
laundering procsss. The bundles of
one lot are then opened and the
pieces checked against the laundry

slip, marked indelibly, and thra
sent to the wash room after btunr
assorted according to color and tex*
ture ef the materials. The slips
ere similarly marked and sent t*
the bookkeeper for entry.
The method of washing depends
on the material, regular pieces be*
ing cleaned in a large rotary mo
tion American Washing machine
with a non-acid, chemically tested
soap, and the lighter materials be
ing done by hand. Thorough rins
ing is dene in both but and cold
water, and the pieces are bleach*-1
by dipping in a'solution of one-
half of one percent of a chlorine
compound.
Drying is dene by a centrifugal
extractor, after which the laundry
is again #4>arlted. Flat pieces pre
sent through the fiat work roller
irons and the shirts are sent
through a series of operations that
are done in the following seqirtoce:
starching, preliminary folding,
pressing of cuffs and collars, body
and sleeves ironed, shoulders yok
ed, hand finishing, final folding,
and racking.
In addition to the regularly plan
ned entertainment many parlor
games and indoor sports and con
tents were held throughout Waco
Saturday night and Sunday morn

of students remaining hod decreas
