First, pressure and suction; sec
ond, the oscilating tub; third, re-
volving cylinder; and fourth, the
dolly" and washboard.
The "pressure and suction or
vacuum type has metal cones OF
cups, which are pressed 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 revolving 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, re.An-
oles a four-legged milk stool. The
"washboard" machine mechanically
reproduces the scrubboard action by
rubbing the clothes between two cor
rugated board surfaces. The "dolly
and "washboard" type machines are
usually constructed of wood and re-
quire care 10 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
ieatures, are durable, and hence
more expensive. Any OF these ma
Chimes can be depended upon to do
good work if not overloaded and
gwen sufficient time.

when there Are children in tho
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 a 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 500 to $165),
but the money is wisely invested.
The cost Of washing with these ma
chimes is about 2 cents an hour at
10-cent per kilowatt hour rate, or,
with the wringcr, 2& 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.

The Vanishing Maid Makes If
Merely a Question
of Which One

A WOMAN'S time may be
u worth little or much.
There may be blessings to
be wrung out of crntinuous drudR-
ey if it cannot be escaped, but
there is RIO virtue in drudgery as
uch if you can make your head
save your heels and hands, and by
using electrically driven machines
for your routine work set the human
machine free for activities that are
more valuable and varied--work the
machine can't do. Watch the men.
They never work with their hands
il machine directed by brain can
do it for them.
In the average family washing and
ironing are weekly chores and often
it means engaging a woman two
days or more a week. With labor
scarce and higher wages demanded
many families will have to find some
other solution of this problem.
A simple and practical solution
where electricity is available is the
purchase Of an electrical washing
machine, since by it's use the wash
ing and ironing can be done in one
day, with saving both in labor and
wear upon the clothes. Also, it may
be possible to perform the work
without the assistance of outside
help. At least, it means saving one
days wages and paying for the cost
Of the machine within a year.
A laundress gets $3.50 a day and
meals. A washing is usually day s
work for an average family (five)
The electric washer would handle
four charges at about 10 cents for
power, and the washing could be
done, including wringing, in two to
three hours, with no real labor
merely supervising and guiding the
machine.
Personal preference enters into
the selection of washing machine,
