Americans Wash,
But They Want
Cloth Towels
By William .1. Fox
(United I'rtwa titulf CurredponUent)
Memphis, Tenn. ili'i Americans
probably wash more than any
other people on earth but they're
a fickle lot.
Junior, of course, will wash us
ually only after a stern parental
command. Then he'll probably
wave his fingers in the general
direction of soap and water and
wipe the dirt into a towel.
That's to De expected from Jun
ior, but not from the grown-ups.
Yet the national cotton council
has come up with a survey that
shows only three persons out of
a hundred will wash their face3
unless there's a cloth towel near
by. . Not only that, but if a cloth
towel is unavailable, one out of
17 won't wash at all and only five
out of a hundred will wash their
arms to the elbows.
But, and here's the gimmick, if
somethink like a continuous roller
towel happens to be handy, the
picture changes drastically. The
survey says 98 out of 100 will
wash their hands with this induce
ment, while 15 will wash up to
their elbows. About 25 will even
wash their faces.
All of this adds up to business
for cotton big business. Office
buildings, theaters, restaurants
and sundry public service estab
lishments combined to pay $275,
000,000 in 1948 to the nation's
linen supply industry.

Things are getting so that the
bride no longer has to lay away
a lot of stuff for her hope chest,
for the report says that home
rental service on such things as
sheets, towels, aprons, uniforms
and other household textiles is
growing fast in metropolitan cen
ters. The 13,000,000 Americans who
make their living from cotton,
from farmers to merchants, have

Civil War Statue
Causes Conflict
Philadelphia ill'-'-A statue of a
Civil war soldier slanils on Mar
ket square in l'hiliidelphia's Cor
mantown section. Where he'll be
tomorrow or the next day is
problematical.
The massive monument, topped
by the silent figure of the "Hoy
in Blue," has been in the square
since 1833 but it is threatened
with displacement by the German-1
town Historical society.
The society says the section's!
Revolutionary war background
makes a Civil war statue out of I
place. Particularly that is so bp-!
cause the society wants to restore j
the square to what it was like in
colonial times.
The society's president, Leigh
ton Stradley, said the group has
no prejudice against Civil war
monuments. Stradley feels they
are all right in their place but
that the square isn't it.
The way the society members
feel, having a Civil war statue in,
the center of a colonial-period
background would be slightly in
appropriate. The talk about moving the sta
tue has riled the Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil war. They
said that as far as they are con
cerned, the statue has been in the
square for 07 years and that's
where it should stay.
The Sons of Veterans say the
historical society's proposal to
move the statue is a "scheme of
pure commercialism."
Movement of the statue also
was attacked on another front. "It
would cost the taxpayers money,"
the Civil war supporters say.
If the statue is moved, the city
of Philadelphia would have to pay
the freight. The monument legal
ly belongs to the bureau of city
property, which took possession
In 1914. Moving and locating a
possible new site would be up to
the bureau. So far the bureau
tius kept a discreet silence.
Heady tu Go Ahead
The historical society is press
ing the fight because after three
years of planning they say they
are Just about ready to go ahead
Willi their restoration project.
Stradley said 80 per cent of the
property owners in the area have
agreed to change the fronts of
their buildings to give them a un
iform colonial look. Some build
ings already have been altered.
Stradley said that when the
project is completed, the society
hopes to havo a project similar to
that carried out in Williamsburg,
Va.
Stradley said tho monument
just doesn't fit into the picture.
"It's like putting the Empire
State building in a pattern of an
cient Grecian architecture," he
commented.
"We don't want the monument
destroyed," Stradley said. "We
just want it moved."
AS LOW AS THEY COME
Winston-Salem, N.C. (IPi Lessie
Van Ziglar was given six months
in jail on her 59th arrest. William
Lowrence, blind negro, said she
was "scratching around in my
pocket book" when he looked to
see if he had 50 cents in. change
to lend her. After she left, he
said, he was missing $20.
Finds Scouting
Too Strenuous
Milwaukee 'Ui Marvin Lorn
kuhl, advertising executive, has
attended his last Boy Scout meet
ing. "It's Just too dangerous," he
said ruefully.
Lemkuhl was hit on the head
by a mis-directed basketball when
he accompanied his 11-year-old
son to a scout meeting in a
school gymnasium.
But that was all right. He pick
ed up his shattered glasses, shrug
ged and said, "Accidents will hap
pen." ' "
Lemkuhl and the scouts retired
to an ice rink at the end of the
meeting for a fast game of tag.
When he dodged to escape being
"it," his skates went out front
under and he landed on his chin
His chin and one cheek were
slashed to the bone, a few teeth
were loosened and a wrist was
sprained.
