Three Pot C0Uers In One and

The Cover Fits Pans of Various Sizes but Takes the
Kitchen Space of Only One-Iss Handle
Does Not Overhead

A POT lid which will fit over many
different sized kettles but will
itself take the space Of only one
is the "3-in-1" aluminium cover.
1t is made of stamped sheet alumni
mum with a five and half inch ham
die of heavily timed steel, held in
place by three rivets. This handle ex-
tends from one side of the cover at
an angle of forty-fve degrees, and
with a hole in its end may be hung
up when not in use. The edge of
the cover is rolled and firm.
It's overall diameter is seven and
three-quarter inches. Within this
there are stamped three circular
ridges which have a common begin
ming at the handle side of the cover.
These circles have diameters of five
and quarter inches, six inches and
six and three-quarters respectively.
With these indentations this cover
will fit snugly over pots with slightly
larger diameters than the circles. or

An Electric Washing Machine, Kitchen

T YOUR limited kitchen or laun-
dry space forbids the use of a
washing machine--even the smaller
ones which are SO easily moved
about--you can still be of good
cheer. There is an electric wash
cr capable of doing family-size
laundry thoroughly and with little
effort on the housekeeper's part, and

or having a machine which takes up
SO little space makes up for the ne

through in two groups.
This talent for vanishing is evi-
dent only on non-wash days, when
the washing machine again serves
better than the laundress. When
there is work to be done it appears
to excellent advantage and with the

solution is added and the clothes put
inside the cylinder. The lid is adj
justed and the motor started by
turning ON the current, the cylinder
making eleven complete revolutions
in one direction and then reversing
Tor the same number in the other
way. The motion, with the revolving
OF the three battle plates inside the
cylinder, drives the hot soapy water
with force through the clothes.
Washing the Clothes
In the Institute test five-pound
washing (three to four sheets ca
pacity) was put through satisfac-
torily in twenty minutes. The
clothes had soaked for three hours
and three ounces of soap solution
was used in water at 1874 degrees.
In ten minutes the least soileo
pieces were clean; in fifteen minutes
all but the very worst were ready
for the wringer, and in twenty min
utes the worst had succumbed. This
is four or five minutes longer than
the average time for some machines,
After the cleaning was completed
and while the cylinder was still in
operation the water was drained
from the tub, the drain closed and
fresh water admitted for rinsing,
keeping the cylinder in action
through the entire process.
Be sure that there is no gray
scum left in the bottom tub when
you rinse in this way. In sections
of the country where the water is
hard the hottest water and best
soap will not prevent this scum ap-
pearing, and it should be carefully
washed out of the tub.
From the rinsing water in the
cylinder the clothes were put
through the wringer directly into
the bluing in the second tub. Back
through the. wringer they came
then, ready for starching and the
line. The washer works just as we'll
on one stationary tub, but two
(either stationary or using the ta-
BILE tub arrangement) save time
and trouble, for we forget the rims
ing, bluing and starching operations
when we talk glibly Of a wash
ing" as though getting out the dirt
were all.
The machine may be bought with
or without the table. The cost Of
operating the Home Washer at the
10-cent electric rate is nine-tentlls
of a cent an hour for washing and
wringing alone and one and four
tenths cents an hour for the two
processes together.
The saving of space and the con-
venience of the table and tubs are
outstanding points. The tub is COM
quiet in operation, and
if rubber hose is used for the filling
and permanent installation for the
carrying Of heavy pals of
water is also eliminated

Some Good Advice

One of the first things he tells
you rs to beware of lye. Lye and
grease, in correct proportions, make
hard soap. Unless you want your
pipes stuffed with this homemade
product, dissolve the lye in plenty
of boiling water and follow it up
with plenty more.
Washing soda is safe and re-
liable preventive of plumbers bills.
At least once a month in summer

And beware of making the mis-
take of believing that all is we'll
merely because the plumber has
jabbed an opening through the
clogged pipe with his coil of wire
and force pump. Even though the
water runs and everything is SEEM
ingly all right, probably the best he
could do was to make narrow tun-
mel through the greasy passage. I'm
