Electricity Wins

against hand labor.

driven washing machines and wrngers, raced
against six ladies of pronounced color who used
ordinary wash tubs, wash boards and wriDgers
BY simple turn of the switches the girls
started the electric motors, and while the ma
chimes automatically washed the clothes, the
girls spent most of their time laughing and chat

If they succeeded in accomplishing one half as
much as electricity and the girls The coored

difference between Anticipated and modern laun-
