NEW AND SCIENTIFIC WAY OF CLEAN.
ING The Electric-Sweeper-Va in our opinion, is
the only vacuum cleaner that actually cleans the
rug in the proper manner. Let US see why.
Good rugs backed with glue sizing TO fasten
the nap and keep the rugs from wrinkling or buck
ling the floor. Any cleaner that cracks of this
glue sizing does the greatest damage possible The
Electric-Sweeper-Va entirely avoids cracking
disturbing this glue sizing.
. BALANCED MOTOR. As the brush of the
Electric-Sweeper-Vac is driven from the end Of
the motor shaft that is opposite the fan end OK
shaft. this evenly distributes the load on the mo-
that the bearings evenly. No other
cleaner in the world has the balanced.
3. SPEED OF BRUSH INDEPENDENT OF
SPEED OF MOTOR. The brush of the Electric
Sweeper-yac is not belted direct the electric
motor in other motor-drven brush cleaners and
consequently doesn't have to travel at the same
speed the motor. The speed of the brush and
speed of the motor are therefore independent and
can be made just what we desire for proper brush
action and proper suction. This is important.
4. WORM GEAR DRIVE. The belt is driven
by worm gear located the motor shaft The
gear between the motor and belt and
only provides the mechanically correct
drive for belt but allows any ratio of speed desired
for belt This gear drive principle is the
same used in the giant auto trucks. about which
much is being said today.

5 BELT TROUBLES ELIMINATED, II we
had to run the brush at the speed the
motor, the belt would too fast and soon break,
and the motor too slow TO give powerful enough
suction. The Electric Sweeper-Vac's worm gear
located between motor and belt allows the brush
to run at just tho right speed without danger Of
belt troubles.
g. LEVER TO SHIFT THE BRUSH Off
AND On. Hundreds Of people buy this cleaner
just on account Of this lever.
With turn Of this lever you have either
vacuum cleaner with plain suction, or one with
motor-driven brush and suction combined.
FAN The fan Of the Electric-Sweeper
Vac is eight bladed and OF sturdy construction,
producing an unusually powerful suction
CLEANISF EFFICIENCY. From the
very first stroke over the rug it is apparent 70 the
customer that the Electric Sweeper-Vac is prob
ably superior in efficiency to any other cleaner
on the market at any price. Every particle Of
lint, cotton threads heavy sand and dirt are
removed at
SPEED AND VACUUM MEASURE
EIENTS. The motor Of the Electric Sweeper-Vhc
runs approx imat ely 1000 revolutions per minute.
The brush turns 1850 times per minute One hun
dred and fifteen cubic feet of air displaced per-
minute by the motor and fan. The vacuum meas
urement the water gauge reaches height ~
1G inches.
These figures are in most cases more than don
bic those produced by any other motordriven brush
cleaner known to US.

OLD GREEN HILL CHURCH
Erected in 1888, Still an Interesting
Spot For EpfscopaIians.

For more than one hundred years
St. Bartholomew's Day has been
made the occasion, at old Green Hill
Church, of a reunion each year, Of
families whose ancestors worshipped
in this old church, erected in 173 8
on the north bank of the Wicomico o
river about IL miles below Sails
bury. This year, however, the cele-
bration was changed to the Feast OF
the TRANSPORTATION, August 9Th.
This year the attendance was small
er than usual, owing to the fact that
severe storm which prevailed the
night before had made the roads al
most impossible. Those who did at
tend enjoyed the day and left late in
the afternoon feeling that they had
observed custom set apart by yshelc
ancestors of visiting the venerable
edifice at least one year.
Green Hill Church was erected in
1913, the figures showing the year
being on the east gable of the
church. Stepney Parish, which is
proud to be the mother of this veneT-
able edifice, is closely connected with
the history of Somerset county, which
at the time the parish was organized

co county. Stepney Parish was COM

Rules for Flag Use Strict

Every American loves his Flag and
he takes glory in displaying it on
eNsfy occasion. But, the Ignorance
of most Americans in the set rules
for use of the Flag is woful. Mill
tary officers frequently point this
out. For the guidance of those who
revere. the Flag, but have hazy idea
of the strict rules which govern its
vice recently called attention of the
public to few of the rules.
They include:
The American Flag never should
be festooned or draped when used
for decorative purposes. 1t always
should hang fiat.
The Flag never is said to be at
"half mast :" 1t is flown at "halt
staff" And, when flown at halE
staff and then lowered to the half.
On Memorial Day, fly the Flag at
half staff until noon; at full staff
from noon to sunset.
Never let the Flag touch the
ground. In the Army and Navy this
is an unforgivable offense.
In the military services, the Flag
is lowered at sunset. From private
poles, however, the Flag may fly at
all hours, day and night. But, it's
an act of respect, despite this allow
ance, to take the colors in at sunset,
When the American Flag is flown
anywhere with another from the
same staff, the American Flag flies
uppermost.
When the Flag becomes old or soil
ed it is an act of reverence and re
spect to burn it decently.

Its An III Wind

Using a cyclone to boost the sale
of War Savings Stamps is the way
the Texas folks handle the THRIFT
campaign. The cyclone wasn't plarn
ed, of course, but when it came thru
Mineola and began shifting personal
property about, things just naturally
seemed to fall in line for a little
publicity for the savings movement.
A book of War Savings Stamps be-
longing to Hilary Harman, of Mine
ola, was picked up in the gale and
whirled fifty miles away to Talco,
Titus county. 1t was found by E. E
Dismukes, who lives near Talco, and
mailed back to Harmon. If Har-
mon had not put that money into
stamps, of course, there would have
been no way of telling to whom it
BELONGED,
