Crown Pitter

Made by the Crown Pitter Company, $40
Leader-News Building, Cleveland, Ohio
This is kitchen tool of kind to make one
wonder why it was not put on the market some
fifteen or twenty years ago. 1t is as simple as
a spoon and so versatile that it will pit any
thing that needs to be pitted and dig out any
thing that should be dug out, from fruit, vege-
table or shellfsh.
The tool is absurdly simple. It is light steel
implement which has just the right balance
and fits the hand in way that means the maxi
mum of efficiency and the minimum of weari-

Sovereign" Vacuum Cleaner
Made by the Alexander & Litte6eld Company,
21S Grand Street, New York City

Made by the Alexander & Little6eld Company,
2ls Grand Street. New York City
Some kind Of vacuum cleaner or suction
sweeper is a necessity in every household. Yet
many housewives hesitate to buy this most i'm
portant Of labor saving devices, partly because
so many of the larger types are expensive, and
partly because the hand type suction sweepers
are limited in their action to the sweeping Of
fat carpeted surfaces.
This little vacuum cleaner meets all these OBJ
jections. 1t is light, easily handled, inexpensive
and independent of electric power. Unlike the
combination suction sweeper, which is ad-
mirable in every place where a carpet sweeper
can be used, the slender little nozzle Of this
vacuum cleaner fits into all sorts Of holes and
corners, cleans stairs, upholstered seats, etc,
and makes itself generally useful.
The Sovereign" Vacuum Cleaner is Of the
piston plunger type, and consists Of long,
heavy tin cylinder, with suction nozzle at one
end and piston rod at the other. The piston
rod is held rigidly against the hip by one hand,
while the other is employed in sliding the cylin-
der back and forth upon the rod, while the sue
ton nozzle glides over the surface to be cleaned.
Inc pumping moIlon pfouuceS suCIoh, "h'eh
draws the embedded dirt up through the
nozzle and deposits it in chamber inside the
cylinder This latter is easily separated for
emptying, and, as the dust is gathered in the
metal cylinder instead Of dust bag, the dis
posal Of it is not so disagreeable as emptying
the bag.
The machine weighs six pounds and is sub

the removal of the stones and substitution OF .
nut or marshmallow makes a very nourishing con-

HOW AMERICAN GUN GREW

He tried to stand the pace and protested against giving up, but they pulled him away from the furnaces, and a few hours later he died. And few hours after that, at Easter Sunday noon, there were a few mumbled words over a black box and an American flag, and then a splash in the sea.

 Three hours in the submarine zone and no fritzies yet" said one blue jacket d.sgustedly as the ship neared the Irish coast.
 The gunner missed q chance at the finest target of the eighteen day voy- age the following morning when dirty little iron steamer, with rust all over her disrcputable sides and a tat tered and soiled Norwegian iag at her tafran, q picture of commercial muo- cenCe, sailed diagonally across the course of the St. Louis Os the armed American liner moved up to the en- trance of the MerSey.
 Inside this innocent little smack and on her greasy decks were barrels of fish that the captain said were to be taken to Cardiff. But the captain was planting his fish" in the muddy wa ters of the Mersey, where no trGwlers or mine sweepers or cargo ships could see them. Half an hour after the St. Louis had passed up the channel trawler was blown up by one of 100 mines strewn in the four square miles by the rusty tramp, and half an hour after that a 9.COO ton cargo boat the KelYinhead, struck another enc of the Norwegian fish" and went down.
 When the St. Louis reached the bar of the Mersey she found that her pilot had failed to appear to take the ship into the river, and the liner had to steam up and down In this mined re- zion for seven hours while waiting for the tide to rise so that she could get over the bar. A few hours later Brit ish trawlers and mine sweepers picked up eighty-two mines in the waters where she had been taking her morn ing cruise.
