three things at once. She might
stand even the latter short time,
but more than q half hour of it and |
she may have @ fit of temper and
give notice the same as % badly |
trained servant girl, leaving !
trouble in her wake. But it will be |
your fault, not hers. Any servant
has her limits. And Susans have
these:
Though she has three arms (or
places to carry three appliances) she
cannot cook with all of them at once
she can furnish motive power or
light with one of them and cook on
two for an hour. She can cook on
one, furnish light and move "a fan,
say, indefinitely. But cooking calls
for more endurance and power than
lighting. You cannot put on two
glow heaters, for example, and
leRve them indefinitely, or run
grill and toaster long time un-
less fuses and wiring are above the
average. And If you want Susan to
cook one or two dishes at once you
must not expect her to tend fur
mace and heat the room at the same
time. Seems reasonable, doesn't 1t?
The fire underwriters refuse,
technically, to pass any socket or
device which has three-way out
let, because it could be wrongfully
used and make trouble. This seems
g bit like destroying the clothes line
because some one may commit sui
eide with 1t. The way out seems
to US intelligent education In regard
to the right way to use Susan's eft
ficiency. And, moreover, two two-way
plugs on the Same circuit could do
more harm than one three-way
plug. So why not understand
Susan and use her gifts properly in
stead of ruling her out Of the game"
Some Pertinent Facts
These are the fundamental facts
involved that every housekeeper
who hires electric servants should
know:
You can get more service at one
time from your Dashboard outlet
than from any lighting socket, due
both to the fact that the outlet is
more heavily wired, and also be-
cause the switch which breaks tho
current at the socket is of very
light construction. Even thn7toh

the old "Lazy Susan" aimed at in
her limited way.
For the one fatal flaw In the
armor of the valiant housekeeper
who tries to take her housekeeping
lightly and gracefully. and yet be
hospitahle, is that she, must often
be getting up and down from the
table. This destroys the illusion,
and the cook and waitress obscure
the hostess.
A Powerful Susan
Enters riuw the electric Susan.
When she stands beside the table q
toaster and percolator or grill and
toaster may work while without
obtruding or complicating the tsble
service. (And every kitchenetter
knows that getting the toast done
with tho other things taxes ones
poise and memory to the utmost
Electric toasters are so sudden y
And, furthermore, Susan will skir
up into the bedrooms or nursery
especially il there is illness, anG
serve hot meals at all hours, even
in the small wee hours Of the morn,
ing when "nourishment" is needed
at 8 a. m.
She will step out on the psazza
and serve afternoon tea and toast
with tho bubbling water freshly
boiled, which is SO essential, sne
the new toast hot for the butter ane
| jam (Which tastes no more like colo
toast" than chalk like cheese): or sht
will supplement the dining room
table for breakfast or theater sup
per with equal alacrity.
And when it is not meal tim,
does Susan have her time off? Sh,
does not. She may keep curling
iron and heating pad going in tn,
bedroom; she may carry two lamp
and a fan in the living room, but l.
you put on glow heater only on,
other device for lighting or a curling
iron should be used.
There is just one thing Susal
must have or she will go on strik,

nations in different parts Of the
house which would be made pos
siblo by tho electrified stand, and
that without getting down to the
Dashboard level. At the table one
could have grill and percolator Sor
supper or toaster and percolator for
breakfast. There is a handy shelf
underneath to carry the utensil
which is not working, and as many
as three may be plugged in, whether
the current is on for all three or
not, convenience again when stor-
age space Is small.
IN the nursery q cozy-glow heater
and warming pad could work to
gether, and milk bottle warmer
might be snapped in for short work.
In the living room the lamp and
fan would make q fine warm
weather evening combination, and
during the day It affords a handy
place TO attach vacuum cleaner OF
floor machine, and especially the fiat
iron for sewing room or kitchen.
And speaking of the sewing room,
tho electrical sewing machine may
also be plugged in on this table.
Construction and Design
The model sent in 70 the Institute
for test was mahogany. But the
Susan may also be had on q Colonial
pedestal, and either style may be
had in white wood and finished 20
match the room. The square tabls
top measures 16 inches on either
side and is supported 80 inches from
the floor by straight legs, 115 inches
square. A shelf finished like the
top is Tih inches from the floor.
The wires from the three-pluz
receptacles on the table front pass
through a hole drilled lengthwiae
through one of the table legs and
out through plug receptacle set Al
inches from the floor. Eight feet Of
flexible black cord with a separate
plug is used to make connections
with this table plug and the espe-
cially equipped wall outlet. Connec
tion TO the individual appliances Is
made with their own cords.
The interior wiring is durable and
we'll insulated, SO that there Is prac
tically no possibility Of short cir
cults. Current coming IN upon The
wires from the wall plug is distrib
uted to the three receptacles IL
parallel.
The Susan, handsome and accom-
modating as she is, IS moderate In
price, and IS Of such style and size
that while the kitchenetter would
appreciate her for space saving
qualities any housekeeper with &
dining room would equally approve
of her TO be used at the serving end
Of the breakfast table and for cor
venience in any room in the house.

rennially absorbing to the
q women OF these United
States, increasingly disturb
ing, takes on a new. q hopeful as
psct when seen from the "home
assistant slant. Forward-looking
women who have developed this
comparatively new form Of domestic
service tell us that our woes are not
entirely the fault of the present
day servant, but primarily the result
Of an archaic system. The mistress
ss well as the maid must take her
share in the responsibility for the
resultant disturbances.
Shortage of Material
The theory Is that domestic Serv-
ice Is not adapted to the democratic,
independent spirit which modern in
dustry has developed In the girls
and women who once formed the
servant class. Such girls who have
had experience Of factory life, with
its regular hours of work, oppor-
tunities for independent interests
and recreations, are unwilling to
submit to the requirements of do
nestle service. Though we may be-
moan the theory, declaim the ad-
yantages of comfortable homes and
good food to be had by the maid
in the home of the mistress, it
seems necessary TO admit the fact
ola constantly growing shortage of
maid material.
At the headquarters Of the Home
Assistant Association Of New York,
at 267 Madison Avenue, it is said
that the woman who decides to dis
card the servant, to have her house
, hold work done by a home assistant,
I'll find that she has broadening
. with which to work. It is
,osed OF women, intelligent, ca
lie, who have been barred from
fnestic service in the past because
I hours, requirements as to living
and, above all, because OF the status
OF the servant In the work world.
What Is a Home Assistant?
To make the change from servant
70 hons assistant mere willing
ness to do anything, try anything,
aaS been found to be an unsatisfac-
tory approach. The New York as
'pciation was organized by a group
! women we'll known in the social

ent which was at that time the dream
Of navlgatOrs, Quiros may be COM
pared to Columbus, who thought he
had found a route to India when he
sighted the palm-fringed shores Of the
West Indies.
He called his discovery Australia

shortened by traders to Santo, and
is applied to the largest island Of the

Logging in Western Hills.

In the West logging camps are
mostly situated in the hills and the
heavy loads of logs have to be hauled
out, always downhill. Often that
helps to make the hauling easy, but
sometimes the grades are so steep
that 1t makes It too easy-so easy that
1t entails difficulty. Indeed in these
Instances the term hauling is a mis-
homer, for that implies pulling the
load, and the operation actually con-
sists In pushing against the load IN
stead Of pulling it, Two and a half
miles Of specially constructed track
Is used at one Western logging camp
for transporting heavy loads on a
