new ELECTRIC IRONERS
DON'T MANCLE CLOTHES

In a text book on laundry work
published in 1914 in England. a man
gle is described as a large machine
with heavy wooden rollers used for
pressing and smoothing garments
Three reasons are given for the use
OF this machine In laundry work:
Ito make the material equally
damp, to distribute the dampness.
2-To remove creases, thus econo-
mizing labor in ironing.
3-To take the place of ironing. l. e.,
towels, sheets, busters. aprons, etc.
These pieces were passed backward
and forward slowly and evenly while
the mangle was turned by hand. After
mangling. the direction was: iron or
air.
Thus IL must be clear that the old
style mangle did not iron the clothes.
What a mistake then to call the mod
ern ironer a mangle, when 1t actually
irons, while the old mangle had
wooden rollers and was not even
heated!
When one considers the pre-eminent
superiority of the modern ironer with
its heated shoe. the smooth ironer-roll
bearings, the tension springs allowing
the shoe to take any thickness of
cloth and the mechanical ability of
the modern machine to iron at the
rate of eight feet a minute, is it not
an injustice to continue to call 1t a
mangle?

Two factors stand between our de-

unparalleled demand for labor-saving

created a companion demand for

DUELLNG STILL FAD
FOR JEALOUS LOVERS

PARIS, Aug. 22.-Dueling is not apt
to pass out of sight entirely in France,
even If the chamber passes bill Just
presented making 1t n crime. The
newspapers generally are of the opin-
ion that quiet encounters between
jealous lovers will continue to take
place for many years.
There has been but one duel In Paris
since the armistice. That was fought
by two lawyers who went to the out
skirts of the city early one morning
and exchanged shots at a few PAGES
without hitting anything but the at
mosphere.
The bill presented by General Cas-
telnau and the Able Lemire provides
penalty of Imprisonment from one
month to year and a fine OF from
$50 to 5000 for duelists. The same
penalties apply to seconds. Further
more. newspapers are forbidden to
publish articles relating to duels.

HERE'S RIGHT MIXTURE
FOR FINE SPONGE CAKE

The stock formula for sponge cake
mixture is six eggs, one cup sugar,
one cup flour, lemon juice and rind to
flavor, pinch of salt. In this no bak-
ing powder was used, but as the price
of eggs won't up and time ran short
the number OF eggs was reduced ana
Lbsking powder began to replace
5cth eggs and beating. The origins
sponge cake needs slow oven just
exactly as would baked omele:, Of
W hich it is only a variation.
If sponge cake is made with bak-
I ing powder. 1t needs the same temper
ature for baking that a butter cake
does. The fewer eggs and the more
baking power used in a cake the
hotter oven does it require. In the
electric oven the range of tempera-
ture for baking spone cake lies be-
tween 33S degrees and 80 2 degrees F.

HOLLAND SHOWS GREAT
PROGRESS IN ELECTRICITY

Dutch manufacturers are clamoring
for cheaper electrical power and a
project to spend $4,000 900 or more in
this direction. is taking shape, since
1913 the consumption of electrical
energy in Holland has more than
doubled, and ii now reaches between
80 killowatt hours and 40 killowatt
hours annually for each inhabitant.
The scheme for extension was at
first broached along the lines of pri-
Vate enterprise, with the Government
prepared to take large interest in
the operating company. but this plan
has been rejected in favor OF State
action, cooperation with the existing
undertakings to be had on a profit
sharing basis and the construction of
an extensive system of transmission
lines to be begun at once.-Electrical |
