The sun., 1919-09-25

one, which attracted a great deal OF
attention, had a forest Of blue ribbons
which led from the various parts 70
cards that told you this was the rigid
door construction, and this the metnod
of connecting cord, and this the SAFETY
interlocking wringer, and this the re-
versing mechanism, and this sthe sedi-
ment zone, and this the water Level
glass, and this the skate clamp catches,
and this the insulating shaft blocks and
&c on.
Laundry Done I'm n Minute. =,
But even this with its complicated
mysteries paled in interest before an
other machines which washed and dried
a garment In one minute, all In one fuD.
The crowds had great fun handing IN
their soiled handkerchief, &C., to the
demonstrator and getting them back
in sixty seconds clean and dry, ana one
husky male person became SO interested
that he was restrained with difficulty by
his wife from taking of his boiled SHIRT
to have 1t laundered on the spot.
Vacuum cleaners are there In great
numbers, adding considerably to the noise
by the walls like those of lost spirits
which the larger ones give forth when set
at work. Charming pink paper ladies'
sitting at ease watching the vacuum
cleaners clean and the washing machines
wash, and SO forth, add much to the
picture Some of the cleaners are made
with glass sides, so that one can see
the dirt whirling around inside like a
miniature cyclone, a sight which affords
perpetual amusement to the children at
the show, and suggests that young
mothers might welcome the ones with
windows as a combined nursery assist
ant and sweeper.
Then there is the electric dish washer
which washes fifty dishes a minute
and tho electric sewing machine. which
takes 100000 stitches with one cents
worth of the current. There is ma
chine that cuts cloth by electricity, and
there is a pressing iron that generates
its own steam, so that one need never
fear scorching the cloth from forgetting
to dampen It.
There Is a charming model fiat filled
with shining electric coasters and tea
urns and egg boilers ard cooking con-
traptions with time clocks that tell when
the thing is done, a fiat which forever
puts out of business the old theory
that a man mustn't marry girl who
knows nothing OF housekeeping IL he
expects to be comfortable. Because
electricity does all the work here; all
the bride need do is to press button
now and then. Except making beds
The demonstration confessed with some
shame that as yet no one had invented
an electric bcdmaker. He lived In hopes.
however. he said. that Edison or some
one would invent one soon.
All Kinds of Wonders.
Lights of all degrees OF strength and
beauty are to re seen at this show, and
charming interiors with baby turning on
the current and papa smilingly reading
his paper. Electric coupes of many
makes are here, and wireless outfits for
the curious to examine and cables for
the mechanical minded to see. There
are electric typewriters so marvellous
that the typist has merely to wave her
hands over the machine a few times and
out comes a perfectly written letter.
There Is an electric kitchen aid which
will grind your coffee. chop meat, mix
bread, stir cake. make ice cream and
baat eggs. all in the compass of one
small machine that stands on a table.
And in one corner are ten mild eyed
and beautiful cows-no, they are not
electric. they are the good old flesh and
blood kind; but twice day visitors
may see them MIXED by electricity, and
within a few minutes may see the milk
and cream of the resulting fluid sepa-
rated by an electric separator.
The show Is open morning, afternoon
and evening till October 4.
