ELECTRICITY HELPS
MODERN HOUSEWIFE

With the appearance of the many
'ectrical appliances for the home. de-
gned to make Homework a pleasure
rather than u hardship. the down.
trodden. over-worked housewife is
fast disappearing. In her place Is
coming the woman who goes about
her home duties with zest and who
completes her work in several hours

for instance. At least once, and
sometimes twice a week, the woman
OF the house has devoted a greater
part of the day to bending over a tub
and using up all OF her energies.
The modern housewife, and thou
sands are appearing daily, completes
the family wash in about an hour.
When the work il completed she n
not tired, for she has had only to
push button and wait, while ia
machine did the work.
The modern architect who plans the
house for a modern wife draws his
plans with a view to relieving the
housewife of as much work as posi-
Bile. He fits the home with electricity
and makes 1T available for any and
But the most interesting part about
the washing machine is the nominal
cost Of operation OF between two and
three cents an hour. and the average
family wash can be completed in
about this time. Three cents an hour

housewives save!
Saving i'm Money.
Not only is money saved, but time.
And everybody knows how important
time is these days. BY spending one
hour operating this machine the
housewife can save four, five or six
hours. This in itself should be an in
centive to the home owner to install

There was a time when an architect
planned a home. he provided for law
ish decorations in the parlor, bed
room and other sections of the house.
But today II is to the conffoft of the
housewife that the architect looks.
Very carefully he makes plans of in
stalling various electrical appliances,
all aimed to make the work of wife
pleasant.

Exit football. Enter basketball.
With the exception of a few scat.
tered post.season games yet to be
played here and there over the coun-
try, the football season of 1920 is a
thing of the past. Several more
weeks will see basketball take its
place as foremost among the winter
sport activities. A number of high
schools, some colleges, and a few in.
dependent fives will be playing this
month, but the big majority of teams
will not open their schedules until
after the holidays. The lid will be
pried off the local basketball season
the first week of the new year.

almost wholly to the Y. M. G.. A.
This institution has acted as the

game to any degree here would have
been out OF the question. The be-

of basketball in Mt. Vernon. Besides
