Long before modern science

very same thing" DR.. Mordecai

us of Howard University, spoke

of Great Religion" He said that
scientific knowledge is based up
on controlled experiments in a
restricted area, while religious

the possibilities in human nature.
':Mohandas Gandhi," he said,
'The most powerful human being
Of our generationj was. shining
example of religious experiment
tation. He worked on the hypo-
thesis that God is love and is
present in every living child.
HE experimental with this re-
igious hypothesis both in his
private and public life. He de-
, MED himself only the necessities
Of life and through his philosophy

.CIothespins Are Becoming
Only q Thing Of the Past

The modern electric clothes
dryer is making antiques Of
clothespins, contend Live
Better Electrically Program
spokesman Of the Edison
Electric Institute.
Whether wood, plastic or
spring-back, the clotheSpin
is becoming obsolete because
hanging up clothes is such a
time-consuming task.
An Ohio State University
study found that an auto
matte clothes dryer can save
three hours each week. The
university found that it takes
% times as long to hang up
an S-pound load of clothes
as it does to transfer 1t from
the electric washer to the
electric dryer. This amounts
to a whopping total Of 20
eight-hour working days per
year.
The university found, too,
that It takes 10 times more
energy to hang a load Of
clothes than it does to put
it into your flameless electric
dryer. Add to all this
the bending, STOPPING and
stretching your electric dryer
eliminates. It takes 625 steps
to hang an 8-pound clothes
load, which, with frequent
clothes loads, can add up to
q lot of mileage monthly.
Electric drying. however, is
two-step drying.
Because a flameless electric
clothes dryer can be installed
almost anywhere, most
owners put it next to their
automatic electric washer.

the family in clean clothes
all the time. There's no need
to worry about taking along
soaps, bleach or any other
laundry aids. Most coin-op
laundries provide small pack
cts of such products in vend-
ing machines.
One should not, Of course,
spend too much Of that pre-
cious vacation time doing the
laundry. But for best re-
suits, clothing should be sep
