for part of the work, there is used the
ordinary door check, or device seen at
the top of virtually all street doors to
prevent their slamming Both of these
devices are purchasab1e at any hard
ware store for small sums. Then there
is the clock, and any reliable eight day
piece will serve the purpose, except as
to the DIAL which requires some spe-
cial arrangements.
Attached to the drafts in the fur
mace are weights, heavy enough to
open the vents which the weights are
dropped from the hooks on which
they hang. These hooks are attached
to door opener, and by the same
light touch that opens a street door
the hooks can be released, the weights
dropped and the, drafts opened. This
could be done by pressing a button,
but it is done automatically by the
clock, as the hands, at the time set,

is made by pushing the button when
door is opened in an apartment house.
OF course, when the fire is banked at
night the weights have to be replaced
on the hooks in preparation for the
next morning.
In closing the windows the same
principle but an additional device is
used. To the floor under the window
is fastened a door check. the arm or
lever being set in such a position at
night that it allows the window to be
up. Connected with the door check is
the door opener, such as is used on
the furnace When the hands of the
clock rub over the screws set in the
dial for that purpose at the time it is
desired to have the windows lowered,
a contact is made, the door opener re-
leases the catch that holds the check

Women Wearing Oriental Headdresses
in Paris as Compromise Theater Hats.
With the stimulation of interest in
things Oriental due to the Moroccan
troubles and the Turkish-Persian dis
pute the French papers say it is quite
natural that there should be return
to the turban as fashionable head
dress for women.- The turban is the
coming theater headwear, according to
one authority, because it offers com
promise solution of the question of re-
moving the hat during the perform
ance which has been convulsing the
Paris theater world for the last year
or so.
The turbans that are being worn
IN Paris are made of the softest ma
terials in orchid hues in combinations
OF white and rose or in delicate shades
of dull gray. They are worn without
Falgrettes or pompons or anything else
tending to increase their height.
Some have single heavy tassel of
gold lace falling to one side. Others
are trimmed with ropes of pearls.
Sometimes also very handsome
piece of jewelry, crescent, sunburst
or feather or flower clasp, is placed
in front over the middle Of the fore
head. A few are trimmed with gold or
silver lace, but this it not regarded as
being in character.

The induction coil used to start the
CRATE fire is a small and inexpensive
device and is connected with the clock
in the same way the other devices
are connected, except that the screws
in the dial are set in such position
that the hands reach them after they
have rubbed past the screws that start
the furnace fire and then only in the
event the thermostat, calling for more
heat allows them to rub the crate fire
screws at all. 80
The window shades are pulled down
at night and connected with a door
opener that holds them down until the

In the preparations of the bath
weights hanging from the arms on the,
faucets are used, and these weights
are dropped by an electric door open
er as are the weights on the furnace.
These weights, which are heavy
enough to open the faucets when
dropped by the clock, are not too
heavy to. float, and as the water rises
in the tub it rises the weights, which
close the faucets and prevent overflow.

portions of hot and cold water can be

because it can be charged with the

kept separate until the making pro-

starts the stove. The same principle
applies to the small stove on which

According to Mr. McMurty, there is
no limit tothe cooking or other opera

In West End avenue, Nav York, is
q three-story and basement residence
which has as honest a title to place
in history as the building in which the
Declaration of independence was
signed or the room in which was
drafted the thirteenth amendment to
the constitution. For truly in this
house have the see Is of freedom from
the cares of householding been sown.
Although occupied by a peculiarly
busy and energetic man, this house
represents about all there is of earth
ly paradise for the lazy man. .,
BY way of beginning this story, just
ask yourself this question, We hard
risers How would you like to retire
at night knowing that you were safe
from burglars; knowing that the house
and room would be just comfortably
warm when you threw the covers
back; knowing that the tub would be
filled with water of just the right tenn
perature; knowing that your coffee,
eggs and toast would be waiting for
you when you got dressed; how would
you like it?
And would you not like it still bet
ter if all this could be accomplished
each morning merely by your pressing
q button, and you knew that science
had triumphed over the maid who had
been at dance until o'clock on that
particular morning? Of course you
would.

By quarter of Z o'clock the house

unless it happens to be unusually cold.
In the latter event the action of a Their
mostat, also connected with the clock,
is such that it causes a spark to be
made by an induction coil in the
crate. The window has been closed
and the shades rolled up automatically

lights a match which, in turn, sets fire
to the kindling in the crate, and in a
few moments there is a comfortable

But if the weather is not so cold
that the temperature in the house is
reduced below the desired point, the
thermostat will not allow the clock to
start the additional fire. All there is
to do is to determine how warm you
want the house when you want to arise
and what time you want to get up. The
rest is done for you, and your dreams
need not be disturbed either by Wis
ions of thieves who break in and steal
or by the even worse enemy Of sound
slumber-the subconscious irritant of
having to get up in the cold and stir
the fire.
There can be only one objection
urged AGAINST the automatic joys of
this West End avenue residence, and
that is that they are too good to be
true, which is no objection at all, for
they are in perfect operation every
day and have been for a long time.
Furthermore, the scheme and its de-
tails of operation are SO very simple
that it requires only half an electrician
and few dollars to install them any
where. There are no patents to inter-
fere, no deep mechanical technicalities
involved. The fundamental principle
is gravity, and the most complex mech
anism used is the door-opening device
that is used in, apartment houses for
opening the street door by means of
a push button in the apartment. Then
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1908-03-28

leading to the sleeping floor of the
house is fixed a fifty-candlepower light
that may be flashed full in the face Of
the thief. Flashing light of this
brilliancy in the face of a person
whose eyes have been adjusted to the
darkness renders him utterly sightless
as to objects back in the light The,
pressing of distinct button turns on
this flash light, so that were the
burglar to jump at the conclusion that
the householders were behind the
light and see fit to shoot at it he would
be many feet wide of his supposed
human target.
Moreover, as though these devices
were not sufficient, the contriver of
them believes that the modern burg
lar, familiar asshe is with the wiring
of houses for lights and telephone,
must be met with an equal amount of
skill AS your accomplished burglar
usually makes it his business first to
cut the wires by which telephone
alarm might be given or the lights
turned on, in the house at West End
avenue there is an emergency auxil-
larry system of lights supplied by bat
teries of which the burglar can know
nothing. Any burglar that cares to
run the gauntlet of these protective
devices is welcome to his loot
AS has been said the burglar alarm
is attached to and controlled by the
clock. So also are all the other labor
saving devices that form part of this
mechanical servant scheme. Always
on the job in the lookout for burglars,
the clock has other duties before the
family arises. The first of these has
to do with the heating of the house.
Of course, the persons tending the fur
mace has banked the fire and closed
the drafts at night. There are two
electric circuits, both operated by the
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1908-03-28

| fore the exact moment the owner OF
this house arises. Neither is it to be
understood that all these things are
beyond the control of the person for
whose convenience they have been ar
ranged. The whole scheme is timed
the night before, works while you
sleep and is entirely at your service in
the morning.
The chief function of the system
during the dark hours is protection
against burglars. The alarm consists
OF buzzer at the head of the bead and
series of tiny incandescent lights.
Each window and door is. equipped
with a device that starts the alarm at
the slightest tampering with them.
The signal is so arranged by connec-
ton with the clock which times all the
automatic operations in the house that
between the time the family retires
and o'clock, or any other desired
hour in the morning, even servant
may not enter the upper part of the
house from the basement without
starting the burglar alarm unless she
previously has telephoned upstairs to
have the alarm disconnected At this
specified hour the alarm is automat-
ically put out of commission for the
day.
But that is only one feature of the
burglar protection system. Every al
ternate step on the stairways from the
basement to the roof holds and cleo
trio mat and these mats are connect
ed with the small incandescent lights
in the sleeping room. When a burglar
bold gains entrance to the house he
is not warned by loud ringing that his
coming has been heralded. In his
prowlings he uses the stairs, not
knowing that with every alternate
step he is lighting one of the small
bulbs in the sleeping room. AS these
are Illuminated in the order the steps
are trod on, the course of the intruder,
whether from the upper stories or
roof downward or from the basement
upward, is traceable as easily as
though he were megaphoning his
movements through the house.
Nor does the protection system stop
there. At the head of the stairway
