Electricity Wins Washing Race.

AT the recent electrical show in Chi
cago electricity won very pretty race
with hand labor to see who could wash
the most clothes in given time.
Five pretty girls. operating new
types Of electric washing machines
and motor-driven wringers, raced with
SIX ladies of pronounced color who
did their work by the world-old hand
method, using the old fashioned wash
tubs, wash boards and hand wringers.
The girls started the electric motors
TO work on the clothes and spent the
most of their time laughing and
chatting with the visitors while the
machines ran themselves. The col
ored women worked as hard as ever
they could, for If they washed half as
many clothes as the girls and cleo
tr1city did they were to get one hun
dred dollars The suds flew fast and
furious about the colored girls but
when time was called they had not
washed third as many clothes as
their contemporaries did, so they lost
the prize, but were handsomely re-
Warded for their honest work, demon
strating the vast difference between
ancient and modern laundry methods.

manufacture OF artificial indigo has
reached point where it has threat

continued investigation Of improved
methods of cultivation and preparation
It is now predicted that a new era Of
