NON-SHRINK TRICK TO RE
TAUGHT TO WASHERWOMEN
BRADFORD, Eng.—Washerwomen
put too much “punch” or something
in their work, and on this account
are to be taught how to wash woolens
scientifically.
The Bradford Textile Society is be
hind the innovation. The manufac
turers contend that their goods are
not at fault, and that when material
shrinks it is usually because the
washerwomen do not know their busi
ness.
Professor William Davies, of the
Notingham Technical College, has
been engaged by the society to take
the lead in a campaign designed to
teach washerwomen how to wash
properly, by class as well as corre
spondence courses. He also will show
that it is not necessary, as has been
thought for generations, to break or
crack one’s back over a scrubbing
board.
The old theories as to washing,
avers the professor, are all wrong.
“The time is ripe for establishment
of technical education for washer
women,” announced Professor Davies.
“Hosiery and manufacturers of wool
ens often sent out instructions with
their products, but the housewife and
the washerwoma npay no attention
to them. Stockings should be sub
jected to a gentle squeezing action.
This does not correspond with the

‘punch’ that the brawny washer

is that ‘punch’ which is responsibl
for a great deal of the shrinkage o
many garments.”

| CARMEL. N. Y.—Edward Wes
Browning, wealthy New York realtor
won his separation suit agains
“Peaches” Browning, his youthfu
wife, i na decision rendered yester
day by Supreme. Court Justice A .H
F. Seeger.
The trial was one of the most sen
sational in the annals of Americai
divorce cases, some of the newspaper:
of the country devoting pages to a re
production of the testimony each day
while the evidence was so sensationa
that numerous papers would not ever
mention the trial in their columns.
The separation was granted on th«
grounds of abandonment of the mil
! lionaire by “Peaches,” Browning’:
i first charge against her of crucltj
! having been dismissed. Judge Seegei
said there was no evidence to sustair
; Peaches’ charge against Browning
I and dismissed her suit.
