One OF the most minute Investigations and
one of the most impressive to one who has
ALWAYS thought there wasn't much difference
among refrigerators-only differences OF size
and appearance-is that made to establish re
frigeratng efficiency. Having proved satisfact-
ory as to sanitary construction, the refrigerator
is iced and kept iced to capacity for 100
hour test, with preliminary twelve hours to
insure the first chilling. During this test
temperature readings taken every hour
and records made OF the temperature OF the
room and the temperature found in each food
compartment Then it is simple matter for
Miss Maddocks-she, being mathematical
virtuoso-to compute the amount OF ice re-
CURED to reduce the temperature in one cubic
inch OF food compartment one degree
Fahrenheit And il is reckoned up to the
smallest fraction.
I'VE have had some notable quarrels with
certain manufacturers over that point" says
Miss Maddocks, as though she rather enjoyed
it. then adds: They said we didn't know any
thing, anyway, but l think they will be left
behind soon with their refrigerator"
In another moment she was pointing out
quickly some defect here or some blunder
there. 1t is overwhelming, this woman's in
innate understanding of the various funda-
mental operations which keep the household

How can you tell all these things?" one just
has to ask.

amused smile. That's easy enough, after

the dealer is neither the manager OF home
nor an unbiased critic. There haven't been any
standards for household machinery as there
have been for every other kind. The schools
teach splendid theories, but nothing as to
proper equipment Oh, ! know the peda-
poeue will rise In horror at this, and say,
WHY. we use the most up-to-date appliances
But. do YOU know. I recently went to an ex-
hbit of large household science department,

pride were ones that the institute had passed

either. when he gets out some labor-saving
device which causes more trouble than it saves
labor for he is no more housekeeper than
the dealer, and, besides, he has no way Of
getting in close touch with the housewives.
Now you see why the institute grew, place
where standards of household utensils and
implements can be established and both user
and maker saved blunders if they cooperate"
Miss Maddocks then explains that the in
stitute is a practical laboratory for testing
household apparatus, maintained for the pur-
pose Of enabling readers OF Good House

households by providing safe and certain

TESTING THE OVEN.
If you should happen to drop in unexpected

third Street, you will md Miss Maddocks

genuity you may come in she says sniil-
ingly. 81 am just baking some bread to ind
out if the oven of this new range is up to
standard"
Are YOU really and truly baking bread-in
here?'
Surely. How else could we know whether
the range would bake good bread, however
promising it might appear? We subject any
appliance to the same kind Of usage house
keeper would give it-involved. engineering
tests are not sufficient. For instance, the
electrical engineer might pass on the case OF
operation of hand machines intended for use
by a woman with much less muscle. Here is

A visit to Miss Maddocks's household mu-
scum is in one respect, at least, like viewing
display of bridal presents. One passes among
the many objects, handling them and wonder
ing what the manufacturer could possibly
have had in mind when he constructed this
or that battling little device. After being told
that a certain complicated little article is
lemon squeezer, it seems best to Danish Curl

What do you consider the most startling
continuance that has been put on the market
lately?"
SATISFACTION OR MONEY BACK.
Miss Maddocks hesitated for moment and
then, looking up said enthusiastically: Il should
prefer to using the word happiest rather than
the most startling; then l should say the glass
cooking utensils. They have been tested from
every standpoint and have proved absolutely
successful. Information about them was given
to the public recently through The Tribune
What is the chief advantage of the glass
ware?'
mo earthenware pie pan," explained Miss
Maddocks. land that is the only other kind
which makes good pastry, is sanitary after
time The glass pan has the virtue OF the
earthenware, and the bottom never scales of.
Then there is the aesthetic value, the advantage
that accrues in using anything in the kitchen
which is pleasing to the eye"
You guarantee everything you approve"
with the broadest guarantee Of satisfaction
than can be given, and doubly since both mag
azine and manufacturer support it. We have
very few cases where it is necessary to make
a cash refund, but we do it most cheerfully.

No one can afford to be Indifferent
when it comes to the selection Of
clothes, for they are the universal
means of expression by which it is
possible to convey something of their
wearer's personality to whomever
he meets. And in the selection of
coats and hats the judgment is put to
the hardest test. This is because we
may have fewer Of these than Of other
items OF our apparel, and what we
have must do more varied and more
constant service.
But where the choice is broadened
by needs and the means to meet them,
coats and hats designed for special
service are added to the wardrobe.
Shown in the picture given here are
what are called the sport" coat and
