that you operate. If you have a motor,
electricity can be used for the washing
power. In three minutes the dishes are
washed and you draw off the soapy
water and pour on scalding, rinsing
water and when this is drained off the
dishes dry themselves by the heat they
contain from the hot water. The writer
has three dish washing machines, each
of separate manufacture, and they all
do better work than can be done by
lukewarm water and dish cloth. The
dishes do need to be looked over when
the first water is drawn off and the
glasses do need final polishing, but
this is nothing compared to handling
each piece separately.
The machines can be purchased at
any housefurnishing store and cost
from eight to twenty-five dollars.
They last a life time and are a good
investment, if you do your own work.
Hired help will seldom use them.

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
DishwaShine

Is there any part of housework so
distasteful as washing dishes? And
the task occurs so often-three times a
day and extra dishes on Sundays and
holidays-just when one would really
like to be free.
Every piece is handled and rehandled
until we know the designs on them all,
as we learn to remember the patterns
ON our wallpaper after we have been
i'll time and have had nothing to do
or impossible lines running the wrong
way
Some dishes and utensils are made
so badly, too, that we lose patience
over their seams, cracks and carved
devices that seem to have no possible
use but to get soiled.
For dishes must be clean and these
tedious corners and rough edges are
the places that need most attention.
But there is no need to dwell on the
disagreeable features of the task, the
question is, do machine washers do
the work better than our hand power?
The machine eliminates the use of
the dish cloths. the greasy dishwater
and the repeated handling of the dishes.
The process of washing dishes in
dishwasher is that after the dishes are
cleaned from clinging food particles
they arc put in the machine, either on
wire trays, or in racks, according to
the kind of machine you have. The
platters, bowls and plates in the bot
tom, cups, small dishes and glasses
above. There is a place for every dish
and when they are all in, hot, very hot,
soapy water is poured over them. This
water is hotter than you would think
of using if you washed dishes with
your hands. The machine is now closed
and the hot water is dashed over the
contents through the means of lever

DIsGRAcED THE SENTINEL
For Not Killing the Army Chief Who
Had Struck Him

In France in the seventeenth century
the office of sentinel was a very solemn
charge, and a part of the sentinel s
duty was to resent and punish any af
front. The severity of this punishment
was in proportion to the high impor-
tance of his office. A Frenchman re-
lates an incident illustrative of this
fact:
In 1922 NJ. de Marillac rode away
on horseback from an audience with
the King. His horse stepped on a sen
tinel's foot. The man struck the horse,
which leaped forward and shook NJ. de
Marillac in his saddle.
The rider turned and struck the SEN
tirel. The soldier belonged to the
company of NJ. de Goas, who when he
heard of this had him arrested and i'm
prisoned. He himself set out, sword
in hand, in search of NJ. de Marillac to
demand satisfaction for an insult to
his sentinel,
The King was informed of the incl
dent and sent for M. de Goas and NJ. de
Marillac. He reprimanded de Marilac
severely, told him that the sentinel
should have killed him and forbade him
to exercise his command as chief mar
shall for six days.
The sentinel was tried before a coun-
ell of war and was sentenced as pen
atty for not killing de Marillac to be
deprived of his arms in the presence
of his regiment and to be tortured by
the strappado-that is, to be hoisted by
rope to beam and let fall. The
King pardoned the man, but M. de Goas
would not hava him in his comnanv
again. Washington Star.

obtain the money.
Albert ii. Gary. chairman of the cor
poration, divulged the situation at the
annual stockholders meeting in Hoboken

Carey said:
I'VE were sorry to hear that so many
stockholders insisted that common stock
dividends be paid even II we had to re-
duce wages 10 do IT.
The management was sorry to be
obliged to pass the dividend on the COM
mon stock. We had been hoping and
had expected TO continue the payment Of
the dividend without interruption. but
conditions were such that II was impos-
sible. We were confronted with the
choice Of passing the dividend or reduc-
ing wages. In view OF the present high
cost of living we believed that the men
were entitled to the wages they were re-
ceiving which we think are not too
much"
Continuing his statement Judge Gary
said
Il assure you that the country will
prosper and want to pledge again that
the management OF this corporation is
going to be thorough. open and careful.

Each talesman was questioned closely as
