Tho Electric Fan,

Back in the early eighties Dr.. s. 8.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer of New
York, was experimenting with a small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
pertments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors, doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propuf-
sion. With this idea in mind he had a
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft Of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in a fine breeze Of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de-
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan,
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

If you are unalterably opposed to
Woman suffrage. you may do we'll to ar
range to live elsewhere than in the
United States of America. because here
we are likely to have oma suffrage in
a rush.
Washington has lately adopted it,
California and several other states are
to vote upon il shortly and the forecasts
support the belief that Washington's ex-
ample will generally be followed. In
FIVE states women now vote. If the com
ing fall shows additions 10 this list. we
may easily believe that the day of uni
versal suffrage is close at hand.
To those that still dwell in caves and
gnaw the intellectual bones of the past,
we respectfully present the manne in
which the women are prosecuting theil
campaigns in these states.
The burden of the cave dweller's song
is that women should not vote because
they are mentally inferior to men.

Throw Away Useless Utensils

In the eliminating of no~n-essentials
also began in the kitchen, says Mary
Pattison in an article in "Success Maya.
zine," describing an interesting expert
ment in domestic efficiency. 1 had, as
l soon discovered, an accumulation of
useless cooking utensils. There were
some iron pots, heavy to lift and hard to
clean, which l disposed of, not without
some misgivings, for they we're almost
family heirlooms. l also put away all
the unused pieces of old china, many Of
them'left from my mothers and grand
mothers pantries. Twas surprised to
find the time saved by this simple
change in the order of things. The old
keepsakes were better cared for then
when exposed to continual view, and
there was no busting, washing or bother
ing with things seldom used.
