i The Searchli8ht
Efficiency in the Kitchen.

Efficiency engineers have done much To
reduce wasted effort in the shop and
factory, and domestic engineers are try
ing to do as much for that greatest and
most important of all factories-the
kitchen.
Kitchen cabinets have brought within
easy reach scores of things that formerly
were scattered all about the kitchen and
housewives and cooks have thereby been
saved thousands OF tiresome steps. But
dishwashing has ever been the hardest
and most hopeless of kitchen tasks.
A domestic engineer has recently at
tackled this problem OF drudgery by in
venting a kitchen sink and drainboard
which has a swinging seat attached to the
leg of the sink. When working this sea-
is pulled out and il is easy to wash the
dishes and put them on the drainboard
while sitting. When out of use the seat
swings back under the drainboard and.
therefore, occupies no space otherwise
useful.
