OF ELECTRICITY IN
THE WORK OF OUR FACTORIES.

Electricity has now been applied to
all sorts and conditions of work, coal,
iron, copper and gold mines, steel
works and rolling mills, shipyards, en-
CINE works, all classes of textile mills,
cotton, iute paper etc, printing plants,
chemical trades, laundries, rope work,
breweries, flour mills and practically
every kind of factory that one can
recall.
The advantages which result from
the identification of factories are
many. Power from electric motors
provides great efficiency in driving
machinery, due to the easy adapta-
ton of the motor to its work, either
by direct coupling to the machine it.
self of by grouping machines Of one
kind to be driven by one motor
through a shaft and belts. This elm
mates the long lines Of shafting and
forest Of belts so common in our fac
taries of a few years ago These long
shafts and many belts wasted a large
percentage of valuable power and
meant serious loss to the owner at
the end of the year Not only was it
a waste of power but it vested capt,
tai, it wasted space and it wasted
nght--all so vital to success and pros,
perity in these days Of active indus
trial competition.
Motor drive has many advantages
over all other forms. 1t affords a
steady power which is Of great i'm
portance to weaving machinery and
all textile factories, as well as many
others. Electricity is very easy tC

tiny levers necessary to start, accele

with individual motor drive any part
of the factory can remain idle withou

case in some mills where there are
auxiliary machines which often have
to run for longer hours than the mail

"soLVlNG THE
SERVANT PROBLEM"

Considering the spread of education,
the leveling up of the ranks of all who
inhabit this great country, the gene
raj averaging of social status which
is evidenced more and more, it must
be apparent to all thinking people
that the social barrier, which has
existed immemorially between mis-
tress and maid, is gradually being
worn down, says a writer in Electric
City. Presently We shall see it to be
more that the difference which natur-
ally exists between employer and EN-,
ployed in any walk of life.
There are thousands Of women

UTILITY OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY.

UTILITY OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
Notwithstanding our familiarity
with the present uses of electricity,
few of us really comprehend how uni
versal and fundamental is the part
which electricity is destined to as
sumo in the life of future generations.
Nothing else can convey, distribute
and apply power in a way which COM
pares with electricity. From one dy-
namo can be taken the power for
operating the telephone and the tele-
graph, the power for lighting, the
power for operating street cars and
railroad trains, the power for Operat-
ing mills and factories and mines, the
power for heating. Electricity Is a uni
versal means of applying power for
doing the physical work of the world.
1t is effective, not only in the applica-
/ ton, but in the production of power.
Less coal is required for producing
electric power on a large scale than is
when many individual engines of small
Ter size are used Water-powers which
otherwise would be unavailable are
made useful for supplying power to
distant cities, and even a mill located
at a water-power will give better ser.
vice when it uses the electric drive
Electricity affords a simpler, better
way of doing many things with which
we are familiar, and it also makes pos
sible new methods and new develop
ment which, without it, would be i'm
possible. With electric power the mil
can draw it's energy from any stream
within a radius of a hundred miles OF
more; it may be located on high anG
healthful ground, on the outskirts Of
an established town or city where
labor is plentiful and transportation
facilities are best. In the plan and de
sign of the mill itself there is no long
err the necessity for arranging build
ings and machinery to be operated
from great belts and long shafting
taking power from single source,
but individual motors in each depart
ment or on each machine or loom

ELECTRIC COOKING AND HEATING

In few short years electric cooking
has been perfected until thousands of
homes use this magical source of heat
to cook all or part of the daily meals.
1t is now extensively used in hotels
and restaurants, on dining cars and
steamboats,.
Go where you will, to the European
capital, to the summer resorts-east,
west, south or north-nine times out
of ten you will find electricity avail
able. One of the greatest discomforts
Of travelling and visiting in strange
places is the lack of hot water and
various little lunches at bedtime which
have become fixed habit with some
of us.
There is a little three-pound cleo
trio iron made purposely for the lady

of fire, coal, water or engineers The
electric power can be taken anywhere
over a small wire and with absolute
safety There is no noise, no dirt, no
smoke, no buying of coal and hiring
a fireman and engineers. The largest
industries as well as the smallest are
now electrified. The jeweler runs his
tiny lathe by electric power and the
giant steel mills are also utilizing
electricity to turn the rolling mills and
to drive the other powerful machinery.

in the trunk and fastening the flexible
cord to the electric light socket pre-
pares it for instant use. This little
iron will quickly remove the wrinkles
from packed clothing, will smooth out
lace and do all the light ironing. The
little four-inch electric disk-stove, light
and compact, is as easily attached, and
will provide means to heat water for
shaving and other purposes, and can
also be used to fry and broil, toast or
stew. The baby milk warmer is also
"a boon to travellers where babies are
taken along. This little device heats
the baby's milk in few minutes.
There is also the electric shaving mug
for the men folk which will quickly
heat the water for shaving and, by the
removal of the soap dish, will heat
enough water to wash away the lather.
