NEW BUILDING FOR
NAT! DRY CL. CO.I
Outgrown Old Quarters and
Will Build New Home
on N. Broadway.
The National Dry Cleaning Works
has outgrown its present quarters at
129 North Broadway, and is going to
build a handsome new home in the
200 block on the same street. The
building i sto be modern in every
respect and equipped with every late
devise pertaining to the business of
dyeing, cleaning and pressing.
Mr. A. A. Monroe, head of the
company, said that they expected the
building to be ready for occupancy
in about six weeks.
fiOOVER RATIONS
Herbert Hoover, national food ad-
ministrator, has furnished rations for
the very richest families in New York
City.
These rich women, women who
have spared nothing in maintaining
their lavish tables, have accepted a
food program prepared at their re-
quest by the Food Administration.
This is a splendid example, as it not
only shows that the rich are anxious
to cooperate with the Food Adminis-
tration in saving the essential foods
to win the war, but that they aro will-
ing and request to have their luxuries
curtailed.
The menus as prescribed by Mr.
Hoover are rfiodest beside those that
have been used by the rich. Under
Hoover's direction, the rich must sub-
sist upon one-half pound of butter per
porson per week, including butter
Used in cooking as well as on the
table. Each person is allowed only
2 and pounds of'red meat" per
week, and of this only one-half may
be pork. Only one-halt pound of
cooking and kitchen fat may bo used
for each person per week. The bread
ration consists of 3 pounds, and this
must be "Victory Biead." In addition
only one-half pound of flour to be used
In gravies and sauces. Only three-
fourths of a pound of sugar consti-
tutes the weekly allowance for table
and cooking purposes. Extra sugar
may be used for canning and preserv-
ing.
Thus does the rich set of the coun-
try come to the war diet; voluntarily,
too, which is hopeful. And we must
recall the Revolutionary hero who
served only baked sweet potatoes, all,
he had, to a British officer, which
caused the officer to resign his com-
mission, declaring that such a race of
uifcn could not be conquered.

Rubber Watch-Cover.
Among the rubber novelties recently
introduced, is n watch protector which
cOveiV the case entirely except the
dlnl. It Is designed for the use of
workmen principally nnd for those
who nre compelled to move nronnd
electrical machinery nnd It renders
the mechanism proof ngninst damage.
The clinging quality of rubber makes
It almost Impossible for the timepiece
thus protected to Blip out of the pock-
et.
Ball vs. Roller Bearings.
I Ball bearings nre n German lnven-
j Hon, nnd it is only a few years ago
that they made their nppearnnce on
. the market. Roller bearings, both cyl-
indrical nnd conical, nre nn American
Invention. The advantages claimed for
the rollers over the balls nre that they
can sustain both the radial and the
axial stra'u and they are more easily
replacod when they become worn.
