Washing Machine
NoU Has Water
Heating DeUice

A new electric washer consists of a
tub, a rotating cylinder, a swinging
wringer and a gas or oil burner by
which the water can be heated and
kept at working temperature right in
the tub.
When one thinks how water had to
be heated in a wash boiler on a stove
when doing laundry work by old meth
DDS, the ability to heat the water in
the tub and keep it from getting luke
warm is a big Improvement. If the
clothes are soaped and soaked before
hand, then washed electrically in a hot
soap solution, they are far cleaner and
whittier than when done by hand.
Clothes can be wrung from the hot
wash water into the rinsing water, the
wringer swung out at a right angle
from the tub and the clothes wrune
into blueing, the wringer turned
through another right angle and the
/ clothes wrung again into the basket

| on the top by which the rolls can be
| instantly released, if necessary.

Electricity Vital
Factor In Life

Electricity is a factor in life that is
taken too much for granted. It's uses
have become so vital and so wide
spread that most of US regard it IN
much the same manner as we do our
daily meals. 1t is there to be used
and we use it. We couldn't get along
without it and what's the use of both
ering about it Unfortunately, the
average man and woman gives little
brains and toll back of this thing we
call electricity.
You can't reach into the air and
pluck out chunk of electricity and
make it do whatever you want done.
You can't go up into the polar re-
gions or into the jungles of Africa and
turn on switch and get light. True,
there may be lots of electricity there
but it is not harnessed; it is not serv-
iceable. To get it to work for US,
some one has to get it hooked up,
so that all we have to do is to press
a button or turn on a switch. All
this times time and money and in
genuity.
Most Of US can easily look back to
the time when we "got our home les
sons by oil lamps. Lots of US recall
the days when we went to business or
day which we only dreamed of then
Electricity has worked all these won
ders. But electricity is not as free as
the air. 1t has to be manufactured
just like anything else that We need
Yet nothing is manufactured that i!
not needed for more purposes than j:
electricity.
| Figures show that the increase in thu
use of electricity for illumination, fol
/ instance, is something quite astonish
| ing. Take the year 1915. The bes
records indicate that 3,434 800 homes II
the United States were using cleo
| tricity for lighting. Just five year
later this number had been increases
to 6,517 600, almost double in the spac
of five years.
With electricity such factor in tn
worlds progress, one would imasin
that electricity would become a NOR
general topic of study in the school:
Mere boys and girls today know tn
meaning of carburetor, ignition sys
TEN and spark plug, as applied to au
tos, than understand the fmaning c
the terms used in electricity. 1t woul
be valuable to our boys and girls VIII
must utilize more and more the serV
ice of electricity to have an early an
understandable knowledge of this all
powerful servant of man.
