good health and nerves--rnore than
you realize. No one is SO likely to
drudge on and on until a physical

the housewife. Why not look around
for the small but important irrita-

kitchen sink adjusted to the right
height? That lax acceptance of
low sink has caused many a back
ache It is quite worth while to OBJ

even if it is a rented apartment or
house, and have the sink adjusted to

the attachments for blower and for
suction work. The fan design is
quite novel;. there being an upper
and lower fan which act in series
one raising the air to certain press
ure and delivering it to the other,
which in turn forces it out through
the blower. This permits a much
lower speed and yet gives "water
hit" indicating excellent power.
For instance, the speed of this fan
is only 5000 revolutions minute
while the average is about 5000,
and still the water lift was 1873
inches. The average is only 80 for
machines previously examined, and
the figure for. another machine of
this type, 9.6, showing maintenance
of pressure with decreased velocity
of fan.
The flow of air to the square inch
of nozzle is also very high (eleven
cubic feet minute), while the total
flow is average, as noted, partly due
to the very small area of the floor
brush tool (3.7 square inches), this
corresponding to the nozzle of the
usual machines, which average six
teen square inches. This floor tool
has q cleaning width of ten inches
and a groove at each end allowing
the entrance Of air even when fiat

NHE Vacuna, as the photograph
shows, lis the type of high

shows, is the type of high
power machine, semi-porta-
Bile, that stands between the usual
portable cleaner of eleven to twen-
ty pounds weight and the large sta
tlonary cleaners. It's other distinct
i've feature is the fact that all clean
ing is done with the tool--foor work
and all-while the machine, follows
after on its rubber tired swivel cas-
ters. Such a machine depends en-
tlrely on its more powerful suction
and the variety Of carefully adapted
tools rather than on less suction
supplemented by motor or traction
driven brush.
Weight and Portability
The question of weight and port
ability Immediately c6mes up in the
honsekeeper's mind. This model is
very we'll made, being mostly cast

weight is 35.5 pounds (height is
81 inches and diameter Ia inches)
1t can easily be pushed or pulled on
the level. and for carrying up and
down stairs the top section is quick
ly removed, as for .emptying the
bag, and it can be carried in two
parts, both pieces having convenient
handles, the top weighing 9.5
pounds and the bottom 26 pounds.
This form presents no difficulties for
the large apartment and none that
cannot be overcome for a house, as
far as portability is concerned.
