Perhaps a half-hour later O'Reiliy
saw the cavalry squadron returning TO
its barracks. The men were laugh
ing; they were shouting brief boast
full accounts Of their encounter to the
people on the sidewalks. Two of them
were sick and white; they lurched IN
their saddles, and were supported py
their comrades, but 1t was not upon
them that the eyes Of the onlookers
centered. Through the filth Of the
street behind the cavalcade trailed
limp bundle Of rags which had once
been a man. It was tied to q rope
and 1t dragged heavily; its limbs were
loose; its face, biackened by mud
stared blindly skyward.
O'Reilly gazed at the object with
Mortified fascination: then with a sud
den sick feeling of dizziness he re-
tired to his room. asking himself IL

The America Electric Cleaner

NOME DAY, when women have
more to say about building,
there will be fewer grooves in
mouldings to dig out-no Moorish
fretwork in hollow squares, where
dirt is boarded, and radiators will
not be constructed SO that it takes
surgical operation of several hours
to clean them. In short, all unneces-
sary decoration, so-callcd, and all
unsanitary construction will vanish
when the people who do the cleaning
have anything to say about home
building. More women architects
wanted, please! Or more missionary
work among the men in the profes-
sion.
Until then the special attachments
OF the vacuum cleaners and their
versatile power to get at dirt by sue
ton, blowing, sweeping and brush
ing, and by all sorts of long necked
and straight and crooked tools that
search out corners and cracks and
cfevlces are woman's only hope.
"Digging out the corners" is nov
done not by getting down on oncs
knees with a caseknife or skewcr
but by pressing an electric button
and standing proudly erect, while
applying long-handed suction too
to the offending spot!
The America vacuum cleaner,
recently tested in The Tribune In
stitute, had its picture taken per
forming several of these distinctive
services-such as cleaning a radiator
and window moulding (the brush
used for this has a hole in the centre
and cleans by suction as well as by
brushing. 1t is especially useful in
taking up threads that have been
"walked intos the carpet or mating
of the sewing room, though it is not
really intended for this purpose).
The cleaner weighs thirteen
pounds, an average weight for it's
type; the nozzle width is thirteen
inches, whereas most machines are
only eleven and twelve, and this
