Vacuum cleaners reduce the iaoor
OF sweeping and dusting 10 the mini

last its fun span OF years nor give
complete satisfaction unless II Is kept
in good Condition. This does not take
much time; IL calls only for a little
thought and perhaps five or ten min
nutes a week OF actual work.
FIRST, empty the bag regularly.
One OF the most common forms OF
vacuum cleaner neglect Is to put the
machine away with the dust bag part
ly filled with the accumulations OF
the sweeping This apprecisbiy re-
duces the efficiency of the machine,
makes IL harder to handle, and is
wasteful both OF time and electricity.
Keep your vacuum cleaner clean.
Do not allow II to become dusty, tar
nished, coated with a film OF gritty
dirt. Anyone who has inspected the
engine room OF a ship or peeked un-
der the hood of famous racing
automobile or ridden in the cab OF
a railway "limited" will recall that
the machines are always as spick
and span as well kept kitchen
floor. The more expert a machinist
is, the more "fussy" he is to keep
his machinery Immaculate.
This is not a mere whim. Machines
that are dirty and unkempt deteriorate
much faster than machines which
are bright and clean, just as furni-
ture or rugs which are permitted to
gather dust and CRIME, which be-
come frayed and marred. do not last
so long as similar articles that are

life, better service and less time spent
in operation.
Keep you vacuum cleaner oiled. The
ordinary vacuum cleaner motor runs
at the rate OF from A, 400 to 10000
revolutions a minute. At these ter
rife speeds, adequate fabrication Is
essential; otherwise the bearings heat
and wear.
Should a vacuum cleaner motor be

out oil-for any length OF <ime, IL
grows so hot that when IL cools again
the bearings freeze" TO the shsft and
require the services OF a repairman.
This freezing" is quite simple, when
you understand what happens. Hot
metal expands. cold metal contracts.
When a motor runs without oil and
the shaft and bearing heat zip. they
do not separate appreclably; but
when they cool again. the bearing
contracts and shrinks upon the shaft
exactly as a tire Is shrunk upon a
wagon wheel. The result is that
the frozen" bearing holds the shaft
immovable.>
When you endeavor to use the
cleaner after the bearing is ''frozen."
the electric current tries to turn the
motor but the stiff, bearing resists
IL. The electric energy, struggling to
make the motor move. and Seing as
sternly resisted, develops heat exactly
as in a fiat iron.
Soon this heat destroys the insula-
tion OF the motor wires which form
the three vital parts OF the motor
the armature, the field and the COM
mutator-which are not designed to
resist heat beyond certain reasonable
and safe limits. The motor begins
to smoke; finally there is a flash.
when the insulation is destroyed
somewhere away inside the motor.
The result is a burned out" motor.
When oiling is advised, however.
just enough oil Is what is meant.
Too much oil may do harm. The oil
cups are made to accommodate the
correct amount OF oil and every ma
chine sold is accompanied by specific
quantity to use. Follow those direc-
tions carefully and your motor will
have long and useful life.
The brush of the vacuum cleaner
IL il hasNa brush-should be kept
clean. The main purpose OF the brush
is to gather up threads and lint and
bits of string, and to stir the surface
dirt so that the rush OF air can draw
it up into the dust bag. Naturally
and inevitably. the brush will become
filled with hair and threads, and
these must be combed out exactly as
in the case of the old-fashioned car
pet sweeper.
These four simple hints are all that
make the difference between a
vacuum cleaner that works rapidly
and thoroughly and one which "balks"
and gives trouble: A clean dust Rag.

oiling. according to the manufactur-

1t is a fairly general opinion that
Mary Magdalene derived her name
from the town Of Magdals, to which
she belonged. Some scholars think
that they have found her name in an
old Hebrew root, and from that deri-
walton they call her Mary Of the en-
broidered hair. Nobody really knows
why she was called Magdalene: but
she is described in the Gospels as that
woman out Of whom Jesus Christ cast
