WAYS TO HELP THE LAUNDRY
WORK

The housewife is always glad to
hear new laundry. hints. or new ways
of doing ordinary tasks. There are
few people who do not, at some time,
assist in the planning and furnishing
o: home, and each room, each de.
tail of its interior arrangement must
have share of consideration. Hereto
fore the laundry and its fittings have
been given too little thought and as a
result the housewife has often had to
accommodate herself and her work to
conditions planned by those who I'M
derstand little about this branch OF
household work, says The Christian
Science Monitor.
The tubs are often placed so low
mat one has to bend far over to reach
into their depths; the same trouble
often applies to the sink. Those plan
ming new home wherein a separate
laundry will have its place. or those
who are remodeing an old home,
should visit one of the modern schools
where laundry work is taught AMI
where every equipment is up to date.
At such a school they will see that
the average height of tubs is now
from 40 to AZ inches above the floor.
With this arrangement, the day of dis.
comfort has passed.
Another Improvement is the steam
arm which, after the clothes are wash

Ing machinery in the cellar saves one
handling OF the wash.

ed by steam; when properly run, II
does the flat work most acceptably.
Many modern home laundries are
equipped with washing machines. The
most perfect Of these Is the machine
