TO DEMONsTRATE WASHERS

The Home Economics Departments
of the State are to be given an oppor-
tunity to observe electrical labor saw
ing devices connected with the family
wash in the near future.
Judson G. Burns Company of Will
mingtOn has agreed to hold demon
stratiOn in each of the departments
so that the girls taking Home Econo-
mics courses can learn at first hand
how the family wash can be disposed
of by means of washing machines
which are electrically driven. II is
the desire on the part of each depart
ment that as many of the mothers and
patrons of the school be present at
these demonstrations.
The first demonstration was held in
the Dover High School in the Home
Economics Department on Tuesday,
May 18th at two p. m. An urgent in
vitation is extended to all those in
terested in the use of electrical labor
saving devices to be present.
The schedule for the rest of the
month follows: Bridgeville, 2 p. M,
May Goth; Laurel, 4 to 6 p. M, May
23rd; Seaford, 2 p. M, May 24th; Del !
mar, p. m, May 25th; Georgetown, 2 !
p. M, May 26th; Milton, 2 p. M, May |
9th; New Castle, 2 p. M, May Both; |
Delaware City, 2 p. M, May S1st.
Because Of no all day electric cur
rent Milford is not included in the
demonstrations.
All demonstrations to be made with,
a family wash brought in by a resi-
dent of the town in which the demon
stratiOn is held.
