How 1t Folds
The steps, which are hardly as
deep as one would prefer, measure
only four inches from edge to edge,
but are amply wide from one side
of the ladder to the other, the bot
tom step measuring TN inches
and the top Ia inches, with those be-
tween varying gradually.
The four steps of one-inch-thick
white poplar are cut across the

middle and hinged on the lower sides
SO that they fold upward. -Four
rod braces, three-sixteenths Of an
inch thick, held by steel pegs in the
uprights at each corner of the steps,
are used as supports for each step.
These are pivoted at the hinges, so
that they are flexible enough to fold
without jamming.
The downward or opening motion
Of the steps and step braces is ar
rested by means Of steel fixtures
screwed into the uprights this pre-
vents the steps from sagging, fall
ing, or closing downward, which in
sures safety for you when using the
ladder.
The uprights of the Tuckaway
are straight grained pieces of hard
wood, one inch square and extend
the full length of the ladder. Three
Of these are used on each side of the
ladder, the front two being the sup
ports of the steps, and the rear one
acting as rear leg. Edges of the
uprights are slightly beveled, so that
they are easy to handle and not
liable to splinter.
| Beneath the hinge of the upper
step there is steel rod bent into
the form of hook. This may be
used to hold a pail Of water while
washing windows or holdings.
Quick and Easy to Use
It was found that the ladder
could be unfolded and set up in fif-
teen seconds and folded again In less
than twenty, by one with no more
experience in it's manipulation than
could be derived from reading the
instructions.
Such a record speaks we'll for
any household help, and when you
remember the time, struggles and
perspiration required to drag a
heavy stepladder about and adjust
it in position, these qualifications
and the Tuckaway's weight, which is
only 171s pounds, recommend 1t
highly.
It seemed to the engineer and
domestic scientists who tested it in
the laboratories that the outstand-
ing feature Of the Tuckaway was
the ease of handling. Its design and
construction were rated high, even
as compared with stepladders which
do not fold.
Whether you have a roomy house,
mostly heard of in story books now,
or live in kitchenette apartment,
the Tuckaway will prove that it can
"pay its way"

ferent types of bottles which hap.
pened to be available in the Insti-
tute kitchen. The caps were easily
put on, and after trial it was found
that one bottle could be capped in
fifteen seconds. This included
setting the cap on the bottle and
adjusting handles to the bottle. The
die came off Of the cap without any
difficulty in every case after the
bottle had been sealed, and none
were broken.
Testing for Tightness
To test the tightness of the caps,
several empty bottles were sealed
and placed in salt and ice. The caps
Of the bottles were then placed
under hot water at 100 degrees F.,
and as the bottle warmed up it was
entirely submerged. This change
from cold to hot produced quite
pressure inside, which should have
forced the air out. No bubbles,
however, were observed, which
proved the seal alright.
I AS a second test of tightness, q
different type of bottle was placed
in the ice pack and several table
spoons Of ammonia put in it. The
bottle was sealed and was sub
merged in hot water. It showed no
signs Of leakage. and when it was
taken out there was no odor Of
ammonia in the hot water. This
was considered an excellent showing
for the capper, especially as, when
the ammonia bottle was opened,
there was quite rush Of gas, prov
ing that the contents had been
under pressure.
The capper is low priced and Is
guaranteed against defective ma
terial or bad workmanship, and is
claimed by the manufacturers to
seal any bottle using standard
crowns without adjustments.

IKE the Arabs, famous in
i poetic lore, a ladder just

poetic lore, ladder just
tested in the Institute labora-
tories folds up and steals away into
tiny clothes closet, or any other
little corner place ordinarily too
small to be considered as q fitting
place for a stepladder. "The Tuck
away" is its name, and it lives up to
it, while fulfilling all Of a ladders
functions. Saving space seems to be
the only way Of getting more room
for your money in these days of
high rents, and by those Of us who
have learned to telescope our ket-
ties into a kitchenette many a
handy appliance has been passed by
because "it wouldn't earn its room
rent"
That has been the trouble with
the stepladders. They have gen.
orally been bulky things, clumsy to
carry about, and difficult to store.
But the Tuckaway is truly a con-
densed ladder, taking up only six
teen square inches Ct floor space
when folded, though when properly
"dilated" it spreads over an area
nearly fifty times as great and gives
! you (perched up in the air) stable
foundation.
Good Construction as Claimed
Hard wood, steel rods and strap
metal are used in It's construction,
and wooden uprights are finished
and varnished. Rivets are en-
ployed insead of wooden nails In
the fastenings, which makes them
less likely to loosen with use, and
all Of the steel parts are nickeled
to prevent rusting. The manufac-
turer's claim that the construction
is sturdy and to be trusted, that
the steps are reinforced and secured
by steel fixtures, that the devices
which lock the steps are safe, and
lastly that the wood used Is free
from defects, were all found to be
true by the engineer who makes it
his business to use a microscope on
an and all claims made about any
device that he is testing for you.
Strength. stability, weight and
"foldability" are the factors which
we ordinarily consider when ex-
amining a stepladder for house use.

Two Steel Knives That Fruit and ~

all three knives left with the juice

the only one which did not have q

on the knife is 81 inches long, y
inek wide at the handle, and tapers
to Il inch at the slightly curved end.
The Little Brownie Knife
/ For pairing fruit and acid vege-
tables the Little Brownie kitchen
knife is almost in q class of its own.
The rounded handle, a good length
of 3A inches, seemed just the right
size to hold comfortably for quick
and efficient cutting. The blade,
2A inches long, which is not as
long as the average. pairing knife
blade, and ole inch wide, was
stiff, but it was not stained after
use, nor after it stood with the juice
.on it. The point Of this knife is
straight in line with the cutting
edge, the back being grounded to-
ward this point in slight curve.
For it's excellent construction and
the manner in which it lives up to
its Stainless" reputation you must
pay perhaps twice what you would
ordinarily pay for a pairing knife.
At its price, however, the Dexter
Stainless is worth the difference In
money for the satisfaction it gives,
and the time saved in securing.

The Arc Bottle Capper Is Easy to Use, With
No Danger From Broken Glass or Spoilage

A ND here comes bottle capper at
a time when bottle cappers are
experiencing a peculiar popularity,
due perhaps to the fact that it is
the season of making catsup and
grape juice, as well as other "home
brews." At any rate, it is practi-
cal, efficient and easy-to-handle
capper for all purposes.
The Arc Crown Capper, as
examined in the Institute laboratory
and kitchen, consists of three
wooden handles of hard wood, maple
stained. One Of the three handles
is fixed in bronze casting; the Sec
ond, in,the same plane as the first, is
pivoted in this casting, and can be
turned out away from the first. The
third, or top handle, is. hinged to the
casting holding the other two, and
may be lifted away from them at
right angles.
The top handle carries a die of
polished steel on the bottom side.
Below the die on the two lower
handles is the smoothly cut open
ing, which, when the handles are
brought together, fits closely about
the bottles neck. For clamping the
handles together, there is a polished
steel hook.

Standard Dexter Style

The two knives tested were the
Dexter Brownie kitchen knife and
the Dexter grapefruit knife. Both
were the standard pattern made by
this company rounded black en-
ameled handles, with oval cross Sec
ton and tapered lengths, with the
blades held in place by means Of
a short shank extension, which is
eyed at tie end and held firm by
q small rivet. While .hc Brownie
+ is used for cutting and pairing, the
grapefruit knife is used principally
for grapefruit or ORANGES
This knife has two sharp edges
ard its curved blade worked like a
charm in separating the pulp from
the skin and loosening the sections
of the fruit. 1t showed no stain
whatever after the cutting, even
after standing with the juice on it.
Ia submitting il with other grape
New-York tribune., 1921-09-18

THERE is something in a name
after all, even with kitchen
knives, for when you buy a
standard Dexter steel knife you are
buying over hundred years of ex-
perience in the knife-malzing in
dustry, and with that experience is
a generous portion Of thoughtful
experimentation expended on maxi
ing good knives for special uses.
To make steel knives which will
not stain with constant use in the
kitchen seems almost impossible,
especially if all the desirable quail
ties Of the kitchen knife are re-
tanned. This was found to be true
with the Dexter knives examined in
the Institute laboratories, for while
they were stainless they were a
little less flexible than is usually de-
sired and were harder than the
standard grade.
When they were submitted to the
sharpening and cutting tests they
were found to have an excellent
cutting edge, but not a "biting in"
edge, which seems desirable in many
kitchen uses, This is perhaps
question to be settled by you, as
to whether you prefer a knife which
will clean by simply washing and
which does not possess the "biting
i'm quality, or whether you are will
ing to clean other knives which
stain but have this keener cutting
power.

How 1t Works

The capper is 80 simple in de-
sign that there are no parts to get
out Of order. Added to this advan-
tage, it is light (weighs one pound
five ounces), so that it is easily
moved and used. The leverage on
the capper is six to one, so that six
times the force applied on the
handle is exerted on the bottle cap.
This requires, then, but small pres
sure to put cap on. The slightly
truncated form Of the die acts on all
points of the cap as the lever is
brought down.
To determine whether or not the
capper did satisfactory work, sew
eral dozen caps were used on diff
