lifted, then returned to the fat; Sec
ond, if they were too long in the fat;
third, if they were made too large,
and, fourth, if they were not evenly
crumbed. Any of these causes may
produce cracking, by which the fat
will penetrate the croquette.

,N UMMER time is the time for
, the lightweight cereals. These
- are the white, fine, deli
cate cereals, of which the so-called
cream of wheat" is typical. The
word cream" is used figuratively,
since the fat, or germ, and the bran
are nearly all taken out of these
products; they are starchy, and
therefore need thorough cooking.
1t is almost impossible to cook them
too long, especially for children.
When it is said that these prod
ucts are "the heart of the wheat"
and superior to graham and buck
wheat for gems and pancakes" this
| does not mean that they are su-
perior in nutrition-the contrary is
true. 1t may truly be said, however,
that they are more delicate, more
easily digested, and so better suited
for the spring and summer break
fast table, or for those of any age
who have 'touchy" digestions.
The cream of wheat from Mime
sofa is made from hard wheat and
is very high in protein (16.22 per
cent?, l per cent of fat and one-half
per cent of minerals-like a fine,
hard wheat white -four. The other
brand examined is of the same gen.
eral character, but made apparently
from softer spring wheat, as it
had only II per cent of protein,
though the same amounts of fat and
minerals.
These cereals are especially good
with dates, raisins and chopped figs
| (put into the cereal about fifteen
minutes before it is done), or mold
ed and served cold with cream and
bananas or small fruits; or, sliced
cold and fried crisply, it makes a
more delicate mush than corn meal
| for summer time.
Lobster and Shrimp

Of about 200 feet per minute, about
one-seventh that of motor-driven
brushes.
Other interesting points in COM
struction and operation are the
clearance for sweeping under furni-
ture, rs inches; the cleaning width
of the nozzle, 9as inches out~of an
overall width of II inches, the fact
that the nozzle is stationary and
that the handle, which locks in an
upright position, calls for little or
no pressure.
Suction Power and Nozzle Width
Measuring the suction power Of
vacuum machines has been consid-
cred rather snare and delusion be-
cause other considerations in the
construction Of the machine may
so modify the suction that the prac-
teal results and the air suction
data do not tally. Chief among
, these is the size of the nozzle open
ing. Obviously, the narrower the
nozzle the more force given
amount of air will have when
drawn through it. Even 50, if
greater efficiency is obtained, why
not? One has only to get Gactor
expressing the air flow for each Gu
bic inch of nozzle area, and you
have true expression of how
these considerations interact on each
ether to produce an efficient result.
Some electric vacuum cleaners
have combined good air suction
with narrow nozzle to get q
strong "draft" and the Superbs
has made clever use of the same
idea, even with it's comparatively
low suction power. OF course, a
hand bellows can not produce the
suction of motor-driven fan, but
while this hand machine has only
an open flow Of air of ga cubic
feet per minute (as compared with
the free flow of 45 for electric
vacuum cleaners), when passed
through the nozzle it has a flow of
four cubic feet per minute per
square inch, where the average
FOR the electric sweeper is only
three! All this because the Superba
has a nozzle area of only 2.34
inches, whereas the average area is
18 square inches! This doubtless
accounts for the excellent practical
results obtained with the flour type
| Of dirt.
Nor does it seem that the narrow
nozzle carries any special handicap
to Offset this advantage. But other
construction details, such as too
tight pull on the carpet, might fur
ther modify the practical results
obtained.
Altogether, we think that we have
proved our Introductory statement
that the new vacuum principle has
been successfully introduced to the
old pioneer hand carpet sweeper,
and that this model is almost as
great an advance over the first
types of carpet sweepers as the lat
ter were over the dust distributing
broom, as far as efficiency and ease
Of operation is concerned.
Either as main or auxiliary
cleaner their usefulness is definitely
proved by the practical tests re-
ported, and the price is mere
bagatelle in these days, when $50
to $3.50 for pieces of household
equipment is a common investment.
There are several different models
cf this sweeper, varying in price
with their finish, the Superba ex-
amined in the laboratory being the
most expensive style.

brush "rubs in the fine dirt; it is
the suction that removes it.
On the other hand, on the lint
test, the threads were all removed in
from two to four strokes with both
vacuum and brush. without the
brush the threads were not taken
up at all. But with the brush alone
it took six to nine strokes, show
ing that the vacuum helped even
with this type Of dirt, while, as has
been repeatedly demonstrated, it can
handle fine embedded dirt by itself
better.
Two other very practical points
are the weight to be carried and
the ''push" to be given. This i'm
proved model weighs only liz
pounds, as compared with former
weight of 13N and is lighter than
the average vacuum cleaner, the
lightest machines weighing ten
pounds. The horizontal push re-
auired to move it was 3M pounds,
8 pounds being about the maximum
| for the electric cleaners. 1t is seen
therefore that the machine de-
mands no excess of strength and eff.
| fort in it's use.
Construction and Operation
The Superba is not made of ex-
pensive materials, but the wood
stamped steel and cast iron en-
ployed are substantial enough to
serve their purpose.
The suction and brush systems
are operated entirely separately
Four rubber-tired wheels in front
drive the rotary brush, by friction
between the wheels mounted on
the wooden shaft and the tires. The
brush turns against the direction OF
motion of the machine and sweeps
the dirt up into pans that are most
conveniently emptied by pressing
down the two levers seen at the
right and left of the wheels.
Above the brush, in the mahog-
any veneer case, are the three bel.
lows, pumped up and down by q
miniature crank shaft which is
operated by the traction of two
rubber-tired rear wheels, which are
almost an inch larger in diameter
than the front ones, that drive
the brush. Hard wood and denim
are used in making the bellows
which provide an almost constant
suction, as one is always in opera
ton while the other two Are start
ing or finishing stroke. The
dirt is sucked through the narrow
nozzle into duck dust bag about
eight inches square. 1t took only
three seconds to remove the nozzle
with the dust bag and fifteen sec
| ends to replace it.
The brush also was removed in
two seconds and inserted in seven.

The Superba Cleans
For One and All

r. OF every one who has clean
vi ing to do has electricity, and
not every one who has the
two has the price Of an electric vac
uum cleaner, unhappily. But il you
wish to make a most honorable and
profitable compromise, or if you
want a useful subordinate for your
electric cleaner, to do secondary
cleaning (brush up the nursery or
dining room two or three times a
day, when it is not worth while to
attach the vacuum cleaner), then
the hand vacuum cleaner fits your
needs.
The application of the vacuum
principle to the hand brush machine
without making the push" too hard

ficiency, as was proved by compar.
ing both practical and Theoretical
results with another model some

about one-fourth as much as the av
erage electric machine).
Practical Working Tests

Operation
While the engineer has presented
quite an imposing bill of particulars
on details of construction, the out
come of it all from the house
keepers point of view is that it is
simply and durably made and easy
to work. The foot pedal, which is
pressed down to throw the shoe
against the roll, is broad and easily
operated, and an automatic locking
lever keeps the pedal down and the
shoe in place. Back of this pedal is
another, which must be pressed by
the toe of the foot reaching over
the first pedal, to release the roll.
This leaves both hands free to guide
the garments or to handle a large
sheet.
In operating the machine one first
lights the gas through the slot at
the end nearest the gas attachment,
turning the gas on full and being
sure that the shoe is not against the
roll Cor it will be burned while sta
tionary) and that the clutch (oper-
ated by a knob) shown at the
right hand end of the roll is pulled
out. Start the motor (shown at the
level of the receiving shelf, under
its nickel-plated cylinder of sheet
steel) by merely throwing over the
rotating snap switch conveniently
located on top of the motor guard;
next press in the knob of the clutch
to start the roll, press the foot con-
troll lever to bring up the shoe in
contact with roll, and as soon as the
shoe is hot enough one Is ready to
iron.

Pushing a hot iron back and forth
over heavy, wet steaming sheets and
standing up to it day or two at a

household mangles would have been
invented long ago. (This is said in
o spirit of admiration only slightly
mingled with reproach.)
Here it Is now, at all events-the

Nine Feet a Minute
The roll makes five revolutions a
minute, and the clothes move
through it at the rate of 9.2 feet.
Think of ironing 8 feet of 46-inch
sheeting (that is the width of the
roll on this, the medium sized
model in q minute, and exerting
no strength, and you will see how
much more the mangle can do than
the human machine!
And the cost of this service? With
ten cent electricity and dollar gas,
the steady operation of both heater
and motor would cost less than a
cents an hour; with gas at $1.50 the
cost is about five cents for continu-
Gus service. Of course, the gas
would not be needed all the time, ex-
cept when very wet and heavy ma
