Vacuum Cleaners
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF 'sAf Coed Old Siw1sb.7

T ONG, long ago the housewife swept
her floors with a bundle OF
switches tied together around a
handle
Nowadays she sweeps by turning On
a single switch Thus life has become
simpler and more economical
Nowadays, however, a switch has to
be connected with a vacuum cleaner
before it viii work. A vacuum cleaner
consists of a large vacuum stuffed into
the bosom of a small aluminium ma
chine When the machine Is started It
sucks in its breath with q deep, kissing
sound like the villain IN East Lynne
and whatever is on the floor gets sucked
in with the breath.
The vacuum ci-cner has made house
work so easy that WOmen's clubs ara
increasing at an unprecedented rate
Whereas a woman once had to herd a
peck of debris over a large carpet with
2 heavy broom once a day IN order 10
keep her neighbOrs from commenting on
her housekeeping, she now merely wheels
out her captive vacuum, turns on her
electricity and accumulates a peck Of
dirt in the thorax of the machine in
five minutes. A woman can run
vacuum cleaner and read a good book
at the same time. If there was only
some way Of vacuum cleaning dishes
even actresses would get married and
live happily ever after.
