The Vanishing Maid Makes II
Merely a Question
of Which One

when there IRE children In the
household, note how carefully the
moving parts are safeguarded.
A direct gear drive, of course, is
the stronger and more positive, since
there is no belt to become slack.
and if this gearing is inclosed and
running in grease abuse by care
less or ignorant servant is prac
tically impossible.
The operation controlling levers
should be simple and readily acces-
sible. Also, it should be possible to
carry on the wringing and washing
operations separately or together, as
desired.
The wringer should have hard
rubber rolls and spiral springs.
Steel ball bearings, a convenient
and practical pressure release and
rolls that are reversible in operation
are all advantageous points. An
automatic release is an excellent
fixture.
The initial cost Of an electrical
washing machine is its greatest ex-
pense varying from $10O to $165)
but the money is wisely invested.
The cost Of washing with these ma
chimes is about cents an hour at
1O-cent per kilowatt hour rate, or.
with the wringer, "a cents. The
machines vary but little in cost OF
operation and final efficiency, but
do vary as to capacity, duration of
washing period and endurance of
materials used in construction.

Leading Types

First, pressure and suction; sec
ond, the oscillating tub; third, re-
volving cylinder; and fourth, the
dolly" and washboard.
The "pressurc and suction" or
vacuum type has metal cones or
cups, which are pres ed down on the
immersed clothing and raised, pro-
ducing the suction which extracts
the dirt. For this principle is
claimed minimum wear on the
clothes.
The "oscillating" machines operate
back and forth the tub containing
the clothes, soap and water, and thus
by rapid agitation the cleansing is
accomplished
The "reyolving cylinder" machine
consists Of a perforated cylinder,
metal or wood, in which the soiled
clothes are placed, and the motor
revolves it in a tub containing hot,
soapy water. The direction Of ro-
tation is usually automatically and
periodically reversed.
The dolly" type is so called be-
cause the central agitator, which
keeps the clothes in motion, rcsem-
bles four-leggcd milk stool. The
'washboard" machine mechanically
reproducos the scrubboard action by
rubbing he clothes between two cor
rugated beard surfaces. The "dolly
and "washboard" type machines are
usually constructed Of wood and re-
quirc care to prevent shrinking and
drying. Also, they are especially
adapted for washing heavy articles
of apparel and are most popular on
farms.
The other types Of washers are
generally made Of metal, possess
numerous protective and convenient
features, are durable, and hence
more expensive. Any Of these ma
chimes can be depended upon to do
good work IL not overloaded and
