by wear and tear on washable
items.
The home economists set the
nationwide average weekly wash
as weighing approximately %
pounds. Research brought out that
the average commercial laundry
rate was 10 cents a pound while
home washing Gncluding electric
ity, hot water. soap, bleaches,
tJc.) rsn about 3 cents a pound.
in one year alone there was found
TO be an approximate 500 saw
ing through laundry done at
home.
The long-range cost comparison
was even more surprising. During
1919 and 1850 Hotpoint made a
series # tests on the life expect
ancy Of clothes commercially
Numbered and those home laun-
dered. Three typical washable
items were selected for the test:
mems shirts, women's slips. and
bath towels. All articles were
IDENTICAL in make and were in
use the same length of time The
method Of washing was the only
difference,
In the case Of mems shirts, the
home-washed sarlpies took SO
washings before they were un-
wearable. Tile laundry washed
shirts had to be discarded after
only 26 washihgs. Translated into
dollars and cents, the tests proved
that with an average snirt costing
from $500 TO $50. he saving
alone on seven hoa4e-iaundered
shirts would amount TO from $21

HOW TO SAVE 500 A YEAR

Another pre-washing tip given
by laundry specialists pertains to
heavily-soiled articles such as
work clothes, children's play
clothes, or the neck band on!
white shirts. Rub the heavily
soiled area with a thick mixture
Of the washing compound before
the clothes are put into the
washer, using a cellulOse sponge
or soft brush. It is important to
use the same type of washing
compound for this pre-treatmentI
as is being used in the washer
for that particular load Of clothes.
The advance spotting treatment,
will cut down on necessary wash
ing time and save wear on the
garment. I
Now you're ready to wash.
Most homemaEers agree that an
automatic washer is the best
choice for time and energy saving
And the automatic washer is
versatile machine that can more

quite a thrill from last nights en-
counter between the local Globe
trotters and the Cardinals. At first
the game was a little partial when
the Cardinals, featuring Henry
Calvin Lang, Hubert
Francis and Alberto Clendinen on
the offense and Dudley Wilson
and Ralph Benjamin on the de-
fensive portion, moved way ahead
of the Trotters. In the final quar-
ter however James Thompson,
Roy Brodhurst and Rubio Dennis
combined their shooting talents to
move the Trotters from a 20 point
deficit to within 5 points of the
Cards, when the final whistle end
ed the game. Christian Frorup,
Axel Dennis and Daniel James
were the Trotters' defensive trio.
The final score was Cardinals 48,
Globetrotters 43.
