,hase OF labor-savers today is be
ing more closely studied and i'm
proved than dishwashing appliances.
The ordinary dishpan itself has
cen greatly improved. and We can
now buy a square d shpan. which
hts the natural shape Of the sink,
instead Of enduring the wobbly oval
or round pans of the past. This
Square pan is very steady, Is
mounted on rubber feet. 50 that IL
will not scratch the porcelain. and
the bottom. so that by pulling out
plug the water is drained without the
need Of lifting up the entire pan.
Another device practical where
there is large quantity Of water
hot from the tap is a percOlatng
mop attached by rubber hose to each
faucet. II might hc called almost
a fountain mop in that il keeps
continually spraying hot water on
rUbs them. The dishes meantime
are packed in rack placed directly
~ the sink so that there is never.
At any time. any 'panfuH' of greasy
water.
OF the portable dishwashers, sew
cTal are on the market with va
rl0us points of merit and demerit.
he c0lef CRITICISM OF washers OF
this type is that they take UP too
much room. Also they use a large
amount Of water, and have to be
Tiled and emptied by hand. and 1t
takes Just about as long to wash
d shes by this method as bv hand
The only saving being that the
hands do not come in contact with
hot water. The idea behind these
portable machines is right. The ap-
plication thus far has been i'm
f1"f
Nv own feeling in this matter is
that the dishwashing equipment should
be built in connection with the sink
and plumbing installation as a part
OF II, connected with the same drains
and faucets. This saves space. in
sares the water supply being easily
handled. and is the only logical So
luton OF such an important problem.
The portable type never viii achieve

after this idea. One is builC directly

Cotton Loan Plans Explained.


Washington, Dec. IA. IT h e
$135. 600, 600 cotton loan fund
plan to finance the surplus cot
ton crop was approved unani-
mously tonight by representatives
ST committees which will aid in
handling the fund in Southern
States. The representatives held
an all day conference with the
cotton loan committee, which
has final supervision of the fund.
The conferences, called for an
explanation of the administra-
ton of the fund, ended tonight,
and most of the State commit
teemen left for the South to be-
gin active work in putting the
fund into the hands of cotton
producers. .
Although no definite state
ments were made at the meeting
as to how much cash would be
drawn from the fund to carry
the surplus crop, estimates rang
ed from $40, 600. 600 to $40. 900, :
900 and members of the cotton
loan committee were confident
hundreds of applications for loans
wonld be forthcoming before
January /.
Most of those present believed
that between A, 600, 600 and 5, OOO,-
600 bales of cotton must be car
ried over until next year. 1t
was estimated that about $3.50, :
0O0,0 600 will be needed to take
care of this cotton and it was the
General opinion that unless there
is naturul expansion of credit
throughout the South the loan
fund will be used to aid cotton
producers.
There was evidence that many
Iof the State committeeman
agreed with the idea advanced
by officials here that cotton pro-
ducers next year must cut their
cotton production. The cotton
loan committee will use every
