Cooking with electricity avoids SCOT
and disagreeable odors. There Is
plenty OF electricity when gas is
scarce. An electric range Is mechan-
ically simple and easy to keep IL re-
pair.
With such devices as this being in-
vented one Is led TO believe that some
of the seemingly wild dreams OF cicc,
tricity as the universal household
servant may be closer to realization
than Is generally recognized.

machine lie coming into it's own; due
to the rising cost OF labor and the
higher value OF milk. The cows
themselves seem TO take kindly TO the
up-to- date method. and whne they do
not actuslly back up TO be milk ed. y
they at least submit to being milked
by motor with bovine graciousness.
The cost and relatively high depre-
citation OF milking machinery will not
| enable the farmer Immediately 70
lower his prices on milk. although
the machines show a considerable
saving over the hand milking.
A complete installation, capable OF
handling 100 rows In an hour, cost $
something like 81 500. and the inter
est and depreciation must be hgured
at between 10 to 20 per cent a year,
so that the farmer cannot be expected
to Immediately give the public the
benent OF the labor-sayins which this
equipment nets. However, within a
couple OF years the economy OF me-
lowered prices to the consumer, IL Is
stated.
At present wages to farm labor. a
mechanical mixer cuts the cost OF
milking about in half. Tests show
that an expert can milk ten cows an
hour, which at 80 cents an hour for
wages, means 3 cents COW. The ma
chine as used in a big dairy does the
work for about l cents worth OF cleo
tricity, plus about half cent for the
time spent by the man in adjusting
the machine and handling the milk.
Small portable mixers, while more
economical in electric current, require
more time upon the part OF the farm
hand.
Sanitation is among the strongest
arguments in favor OF mechanical
milking and Is the argument which
appeals to the consumer. No matter
how careful a milker may be. there is
always danger of contamination from
dirt which falls from the cows hide
into the open milking pail.
The electric mixer insures against
this, for the milk flows through pipes
which are readily sterilized, and is
gathered in a closed vacuum pail.

Household Engineer Shows How

Every so often some woman tells
me her maid or cook or other help
in her home refuses TO use some elec-
trie labor-ssving device which she
has had installed in her home" said
a Cleveland electrical household en-
gineer recently.
"It has been more or less OF mys'
terry TO me why anyone should take
this attitude. Understand me-" he
went on TO explain. this remonstrat'

ANSWER FOR PROBLEM.
But what possible reason could ar
intelligent American girl have for not
wanting to use electrical helps tC

the household engineer was called to
attend TO the wishes OF patron-a
woman who had been trying to aid her
domestics by installing electric appli-
snces In her home for them to use.
II suppose you will think my story

have the answer for the problem
which you mentioned when YOU had
my electric range put in. You said
you were mystifed by the attitude OF
servants who refuse to use electricai
household devices. Ny maid this
morning put me next to use her own
phrase.
Look here. missus. do you know
what a strike breaker Tsp is the ques.
tion she fred at me this morning
when j asked her to use some electric
device instead or doing the task by

"'Certainly.' ! replied, but l do not

face grew red, that's exactly what

dent speech, / told her for one pray
ed her dream would come true, but
that since they still require the 'en-
sineer' she spoke Of | would be my
own engineer and dispense entirely
with such arrogant, unwilling and re-
belious help"
why you should not do your own
household engineering" replied tho
home economist. Thousands OF other
women who never did II before are
doing all the work OF their household
and are feeling the better OF IT, both
physically and financially. That the
day OF the household servant is NUM-
bered can hardly be questioned. Elec-
tricity Ii slowly, gradually ousting

life. She has given up haunting en-

alone than to run down new help
every third week. The electric
cleaner takes the backache out OF
her sweeping. Her husband does the
washing-that is. he puts the clothes

work during the dinner hour Mon
day. Her new electric range. she
rambled on, is more reliable than any
maid--and the cooking is as often as
not done to a turn while she is play
ing bridge at some friends house"
ONLY OUTLINES STORY.
But. of course, the household engi-
neer could only outline the story of
electricity as IL has come to take it's
place In the home. And no one should
forget that electric energy as IL Is
applied to the home Is still in its in
fancy.
Electric washers. wringers and
ironers are taking the place of the
laundress who used to come in the
morning and stay all day and they
are saving in wear and tear on
clothes.
Vacuum cleaners are taking the
place OF the old-fashioned dust rails
ing broom. They are saving the hard
labor of sweeping. dusting and clean
ing and are taking the place of the
housemaid.
And now the electric dishwasher
and the automatic electric range are
taxing the places or the kitchen girl
and the cook.
The automatic electric range is so
constructed that IL can be set" by
means of simple alarm clock to
turn the heat on at a given time. The
desired temperature Is also set" and
is automatically turned of when the
oven reaches the required tempera-
ture. Food is then cooked by means
Of the same principle which is used
in the freless cooker.
