Why Is the girl in this picture
looking so happys Because the
electric iron has banished the hard
work of ironing day.
Her mother did not have such an
easy time Of 1t when the weekly
ironing had to be done. She was
constantly walking between ihe
ironing board and the kitchen
stove: her fingers were always got
ting burned; her feet hurt and her
back ached. Think Of what she
endured when the temperature
hovered around the S0-degr"e
mark.
This day Is an ordeal no longer.
The electric iron has banished
that. The room does not get sitting
hot, and milatly can sit down while
she works.

ELECTR|CEA FANS
CHEAPEST WAY
To KEEP COOL
Cost to Run About Same as
Freight on Collar Button,
Gotham to Chicago.

Elbert Hubbard once said face
tously that the cost of running an
electric Nfan was about the same as
the freight on a collar button from
New York to Chicago
The electric breeze that makes hot
weather endurable consumes less
than half a cents worth of current
an hour-how much 1t contributes to
health and comfort probably none Of
us can estimate. Frequently II is
merely because folk have only a hazy
idea of what 1t costs to operate fans
or other electrical equipment that
they hesitate about acquiring 1t.
whereas a little investigation would
show them that the charge is very
slight.
M. Luckiesh. lighting research en-.
gineer, has estimated the average
cost Of electric lighting in the house
is about the same as the amount we
pay for cream in our coffee at break
fast. The electric washing machine
In our laundry operates for an hour
Tor the price Of a couple of sticks of
gum. One may use an electric
vacuum cleaner an hour at about the
cost Of good chocolate cream. The
average family's use of the percola tor
anu tOdsteT tOSetner lncurS a cost
about equivalent to the price of the
morning paper. The electric servants
are really very moderate in their
wage demands.
The fan, in particular, costs so
little to run that most homes should
be provided with more than just one.
II the fan is placed properly, so as to
create a circulation Of air without
blowing directly upon anyone, 1t will
more than repay its initial cost and
the small charge for current consum.
ed within a month or two. There
should be fans available for use in the
living room and bedrooms. and above
all fan for the kitchen. OF course
II the kitchen is electrically equipped
throughout. and there is no hot ,al
or gas range to raise the temperature
or the room. the housewives problem
& mere Is vastly simplified. but even SO
q fan will make the work go faster
ana keep the worker happier. Hot
weather isn't such burden, after all,
with plenty of fans to help one forget

these rules for lamp making are sug.
gested:
l. For beautiful proportion, the bot.

the height Of the lamps base; the
height Of the shade including edg-

height Of the lamps base.
2. Select a wire shade with fiat

be no ugly bumps.

PRINCESS WINS
HIGH HONOR IN
MANY STUDIES

ROME, Aug, This is the story of
a real-life princess and it isn't in the
least like a fairy tale.
It's about Princess Giovanni, fourth
child of King Victor Emmanuel and
Queen Helena of Italy. She's only IA.
She doesn't sit on throne and re-
ceive the attentions of handsome
princes who ride milk-white horses
and wear long swords at their sides.
She's never been troubled by en-
fhanters who might try to bewitch
her. She's never been kidnapped by a
villainous sutton and then rescued by
another.
Hard Work Her Lot
Instead, Princess Giovanni has to
spend much of her time in hard study.
She's just taken the state pubic school
examinations, which all Italian chill
dren have to take, and she has passed
with high honors.
Of course, Princess Giovanni has
private tutors and governesses but
that doesn't excuse her from keeping
I'D to the standard of education set
for other boys and girls of her age
No getting out of lessons or sulking
before teachers just because papa is
king.
1t wasn't compulsory for Princess
Givoanna to take the public school,
examinations. But it's a custom OF
the royal family to have all it's Chill
dren undergo these tests.
! what She Studies
! The branches in which she was
awarded a diploma were Italian his
tory, geography, mathematics, science
French, drawing, writing, domestic
science and gymnastics. The exami
nations lasted eight days.
When it was all over Giovanni wen
home and, just like any good Ameri
can girl who had made her parent!
proud, she was given special dinner
with an extra helping of dessert o
which she is especially fond.
