And don't put in a lazy mans
load, or in other words, don't
overload the machine. It's hard on
the motor and makes it impos-
sible to get good washing results.
For the average sized machine, 4
sample load might be two large
sheets; four shirts and two pill
low cases. Never put in more
clothes than will circulate easily,
as it is the free flow of the water
and the motion of the clothes
that get the dirt.
WASH CLOTHES JUST long
enough to get the dirt out. If you
wash any longer you're wasting
power and adding wear to the
clothes. Woolens should be wash
ed no longer than 2 to 3 minutes,
silks and synthetics to minutes,
slightly sciled clothes such as
table and bed linens, S to min
utes, and moderately Soiled clothes
z to 10 minutes. Any washer gets
all the dirt it intends to in less
than Is minutes. If any dirt re-
mains after that you had better re-
sort to other measures.
IF YOU KEEP YOUR WASHER
on an open back porch, you are
shortening its life by a matter of
years. If there is no possible space
for it on the inside. build shed
over it. If that is impossible, in
vestigate the possibilities of a
water proof slip cover. Between
washdayS leave the drin faucet
open and prop up the lid SO air
can circulate. A washer left closed,
particularly when it was not
thoroughly dried can develop
terrific odor.
YOU SHOULD BE ESPECIAL
LY CAREFUL of the rubber rolls
OF your wringer. Fold buttons on
the inside. When the washing is
done, release the pressure on the
wringer rolls and wipe the rolls
clean and dry. Take care of what
you have, for even if you have the
money to buy more, there Won't
he any more.

Your Washing Machine
Is One Of The Leadino
Household Labor Savers

weekly wash is still q symbol of
good housekeeping, no matter
what.
YOUR w A S HIN c. MA
CHINE is one of the leading house
hold labor savers. 1t is as far
ahead of the cub board as this
war is ahead of the revolution. To-
days housewife, who saves her
back, her time, and her energy
with a washer is that far ahead
OF her sister who clingS to the
washboard and boiling pot for
either economic or sentimental
reasons If you are lucky enough
to have a machine, you will save
time, clothes, and power by wash
ing clothes the right way.
THERE ARE AS M Ny
brands of washing machines as
there are of the women who use
them, and it's a good idea to fol-
low the directions that come with
your type. Too many women dis
regard the water line that is
found in every machine. If you use
more than this, you get unneces-
sary splashing. If you use less, you
do not get maximum efficiency.
For your white clothes, have
water so hot you can't hold your
your hand in it. For colored
clothes, have water that's COM
fortably warm to the touch. For
silk, rayons, and woolens, use
lukeWarm water, neither hot nor
cold to the touch
START THE WASHER when
you add soap in order to dissolve
it quickly, and use enough soap to
get about two inches of suds. Al
ways start the machine before add
ing clothes. Otherwise a great
strain is placed on the motor, and
you just might blow out fuse,

Charging that nine of the songs
used in seven books in the system
contains words offensive to the
colored people, the board entered
serious debate over the merits of
the complaint.
White members were opposed to
any change, declaring that the
music of Stephen Foster, chief
composer OF the songs that
brought about the protest has
come to be regarded as American
folklore and was not insulting.
These members also said that
the famous choirS of Hampton and
Fisk had sung them and therefore.
they could see nothing to make the
words Objectionable.

.E.B.I. PROBES
SLAVE CHARGE
IN ARKANSAS
Claim Civil
Rights Laws
Were Violated

WASHINGTON--(A (ANP)-An in
quiry into reports that convlcts
are paroled from Arkansas State
prisons into virtual peonage" on
plantations of officials and leg1s-
laters has been launched by Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, it was
announced here by Atty. General
Biddle. He said that the inquiry
was being made at the request OF
Wendell Berg, assistant attorney
in charge of the criminal division,
who had studied persistent auega-
tons by newspapers and other
sources" that federal civil rights
laws were being violated.
The term ''peonage" was defined
by one official as compulsory
servitude in discharge Of a debit" ."
One story has 1t that prisoners
were offered parole with the pro-
vision that they work for a GER
tain person.
Specifically the attorney general
stated that members of the Ark
ansas Penitentiary commission
have administered the state pa
role system in such a way that
parollees are placed in custody OF
commission, state legislature. state
officials ard close friends and rel
atives of commission members and
are compelled to work on their
private plantations for only nomi-
nal wages"
WELCOMES PROBE
Chairman of the state parole
board, J. A. Neav;lle of Little Rock,
said the board welcomed an in
vestigation, that although it saw
nothing wrong with paroling con-
victs to board members and other
state officials, it had discontinued
the practice last December at the
request of Gov. Homer Adkins.
Neaville further stated that con-
victs were still in the employ OF
two board members - j. Fl. Law
horn and Dan Felton-bllt that
Tie men were paid prevailing
wages.
In a telegram to Biddle, Gov
Adkins offered to turn over al
state penal records to federal
agents, saying, "It is my purpose
and the purpose of the board ano
| parole officers to conduct affairs
of the state penal farm and pa
roles along the lines and in the
same manner as the federal proba-
ton officers conduct their affairs
We welcome any Investigation"
Charges of the kind mentioned
by Biddle may be prosecuted un-
der two sections Of the Unitee
States code. Penalties of one
which specifically covers public
officials, range up to one year ir
prison and $1,000 fine. The genera
statute gives as penalties maxi
mum of 10 years imprisonment ans

ASKOV
Use New Well.

The new deep well at the Askov
Creamery Association plant was put
into actual use for the first time
Tuesday and apparently was A No. l.
They ran the pump steady from 8
o'clock in the morning until after
2 o'clock in the evening during which
time the pump delivered 40 gallons
of water per minute which was suf-
ficient for all operations in the plant.
The pump could be speeded up con-
siderably in case more water was
desired.
The well is 255 feet deep and the
water comes up to within IS feet
of the surface. The water is about
the same as that in the old wells
which is none too good. 1t is quite
likely that a filtering system will be
installed in the near future.

that am not good enough my humil-

Red Cross Courses.

A Red Cross course in home hy-

summer according to present plans
and Red Cross first aid course early
in the fall. These courses will be
open to all women interested, but
Victory Aides especially are required
to take the latter as part of their
training.
It had been planned to have one
or both courses begin sooner but
proper arrangements could not be
made. In order to receive certificates
for first aid work the course must
be given by a qualified physician,
but the local doctor, DR.. M. Brown
stone of Sandstone, has just begun
a new class in his home community
and is not available at present.
Similarly, qualified instructors for
the home hygiene course have full
schedule at present, so it was thought
advisable to drop both series of in
structions for several weeks.
