THE most general cause OF the
motor overheatJng Is due to the
'overloading" OF the motor-that
Is putting a harder task on the
motor than II was originally dc.
signed for. However. there may
be some other cause for your motor
overheating and our advice would
be 10 call In a competent electrician
who could undoubtedly correct this
fault In a few moments.

HOT PLATES
WORKING AFTER
...TWENTYYEARS
Has Been in Service 10000
Hours and Has Burned Out
Only Once,

/. An electric hot-plate. which. : 1t is
claimed. is the oldest in existence.
is owned by man in the State of
Washington. He has had IL for
twenty years, and estimates that IL
has been used 10000 hours and has
consumed $165' worth OF electrical
energy. 1t has burned out only
once, when he accidentally placed 1t
on a .220-voit circuit, which was too
powerful for it. -.
1t is not uncommon to find a
housewife who has used her vacuum
cleaner for six or seven years with
out haveing had any repairs or re-
adjustments made in all that time.
The average life of electrical house.
hold appliances has been estimated
from seven to ten years, though
usually they require some atten,
tfon from an electrical man during
that time. The twenty year old
hot-plate is one Of the remarkable
examples of what service these de.
vices will give. though this cannot
be expected Of all. -.
More appliances are fhcapaci.
tated from rust than through wear.
declare electrical men. They state
that with proper care, the grill the
vacuum cleaner, the washing ma
chine and the rest will give longer
and better service than most owners
imagine. II is particularly neces.
sary to oil them carefully and reg.
ularly. So, F eo
Too frequently, the owners of elec-
trio appliances are easily discour-
aged when some little, thing goes
wrong with the mechanism. The
percolator cord wears through. per.
haps. and a resulting short circuit
stops proceedings with a bang. In.
stead Of consulting an electrician.
the owner thinks the whole device is
worn out-and puts it away on a
shelf, discarded. This Is foolish
waste of valuable apparatus. The
appliances should be given proper
attention; often some slight adjust.
ment will suffice to make a device
nod for years more Of service.
