CHICAGO, Nov. 6 (U. P)— Dunking, no matter how expert, is unpatriotic. This bombshell was delivered by the Linen Supply Association of America, upon the occasion of the 25th annual doughnut week. : “Doughnuts become minor saboteurs when wielded by a. careless. dunker,” said the association. “Millions of Americans can learn that these little round delicacies have a flavor of their own by eating them ‘straight’ for the duration.” The reasons, according to the association which services 90 per cent of the nation’s hotel and restaurant linens, are: . 1. Dunking- wastes coflee, right now, that’s bad. 2. Dunking causes stains that weaken hard-to-replace fabric in tablecloths.
