Not ALWAYS Happv

1t is customary but l think it is a

and acutely sensitive. Man ought to
be man and master Of his fate; but
children are at the mercy of those
around them. Mr.. Rarey, the great

The Candle in History.

The cult Of the candle plays large
role in Roman, Jewish and Eastern
ecclesiastical history; and many are
the customs that have their birth In
some magical or ritualistic use to
which the candle has been put. In
some parts of Ireland, for instance, it
was usual on Christmas eve to burn
a large candle which no one was per-
mitted to snuff except those who bore
the name of Mary.

Inc G-R-S washer has been built
with the same idea back of it.
Definite Details of Construction
The maximum space occupied bv
the machine, always a point of prac-
teal interest, is thirty inches square,
though the base of the tub is only
twenty-five inches, because the
fourth leg supporting the wringer is
set five inches further back on that
side to prevent the additional weight
OF the mechanism at that point from
overbalancing the machine.
Inc framework is constructed of
oraced one-eighth-inch structural
angle iron mounted on four black
Japanned steel swivel castors. The
galvanized iron tub, finished with
gray enamel outside, has a flat table
top, 25 by 25 inches, which is 37%
inches above the f1oor-one of the
highest tubs examined and good
working height. The wringer givcs q
total height of fifty-seven inches.
The tub has semi-cylindrical
bottom, 221a inches deep, with a
water line eight inches above the bot
tom, calling for twelve gallons of
water. The wooden cylinder is of
more than average capacity, holding
eight double sheets, or twelve pounds
OF clothes, when filled two-thirds full.
1t is made of thirty-one maple WOOD
strips, each containing five one-half-
inch perforations. The inside
length Of the cylinder is nineteen
inches, and it is easily removed
weighing only twenty-eight pounds.
The wringer is especially remark
able for its adaptability, as it not
only swings entirely about the main
vertical power shaft on the rear
right-hand corner, but locks in five
dlf1erent positions by means Of the
piunger rod seen at the base of the
shatt-the four regular quadrant
positions and fifth one on a diago-
nal line from the right rear corner.

Too often household tools and ap-
