A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
FOR MENDING A SHIRT

The modern housewife, using her
electric sewing machine. finds num-
erous ways of shortening her work.
1t is such a pleasure TO use the ma
chine. that she delights In expert
menting with short-c cuts in sewing.
She darns her husbands shirts by
electricity. for instance, using the
following method:
Stretch the shirt over embroidery
hoops. Thread the machine as usual,
remove the presser foot, slip the
hoops under the needle, and lower
the presser bar BY turn of the
hand wheel. bring up the lower
thread, fastep by two or three
stitches, and hen move the hoops
forward and 4, ", running the ma
chine at rab,1 pace. A perfect
rope will be formed which will fill
in the holes. The principle is just
the same as in hand darning. One
should experiment with an old piece
of cloth before beginning work on a
garment, of course.

ELECTRIC HEATERS GIVE
CONTINUOUS HOT WATER

Pretty soon Dad will have shov~led
the last of the winters coal, emptied
the last load of ashes, and he. and
all the rest Of the family, will then
heave a relieved gasp. That is until
they turn the hot water tap in an
ticipation Of rushing warmth and
feel instead the shock Of mighty cold
water. A furnace-connected water
tank during the winter months does
spoil home dwellers for the nuisance
Of the gas-heated tank.
Those who enjoy electric water
heating are more fortunate. Like
electric light, electrically heated
water is always ready. The heater
raises water to a temperature that
you predetermine to suit your own
particular needs. Generally 140 de-

depends upon the soap and other
solvents used I'm the water.
The second stage is mechanical,
the washing away Of the particles OF
soil, and this is the only part OF the
cleaning which the machine assumes
to do.
Many a time when the washer ap-
parently fails, when the clothes are
not washed really clean and the
housewife is led to suppose that
something is wrong with her ma
chine, the real trouble is that she
has not used the proper soap or other
solvents in the water.
Be sure that the chemical part of
your washing is correct before you
blame the machine. in case things
go wrong, for mechanically, this

just about as near perfection as
possible.

VACUUM DEVICE
USEFUL To DRY
DAMP CELLARS
Cleaners Varied Uses Are Only
Limited by Ingenuity of
Housewife.

"After spring rains our basement
did not dry out as quickly as 1t
should for good health's sake. said
the suburbanite, "and then we made
q discovery. We took the vacuum
cleaner down, removed the bag. and
turned the switch on. The fan of the
cleaner worked wonders In that base
ment."
Then the family decided to have
hardwood floors put in the upstairs
bedrooms which had gone with moth
ing but pine boards for 80 long. The
carpenters dragged the work along
until everyone was tired of living in
confusion, and then the agony was
prolonged a little longer while the
painters applied filling and varnish.
At this point Mr.. Husband cast a
thoughtful eye upon the cleaner,
nodded sagely to his myDtided wife,
and made tracks for the second
floor three steps at a time. the vac
uum cleaner in one hand. When the
"home manager" arrived in his wake,
she found the cleaner, bag off, busy
at the task Of drying the shiny floor
surface.
After that 1t became popular 'in-
who could discover new uses for the
cleaner. It's fan dried the baby's
shoes on a muddy day. The blow
ef attachment proved to be versatile
enough to rout the dust from radia-
tors and also to whisk all soil from
silk lamp shades. THE Boy" Of
the house found 1t handy for drying
his Photographic plates and prints.
And Mrs. Housewife learned that 1t
could solve beautifully her old and
annoying problem of busting the
white woodwork.
"A dust-cloth is SO quickly soiled
that it smears the edges Of base
boards and all the kinks Of white
woodwork which catch dust" she
said. But the attachments Of the
vacuum cleaner dust all these diff
cult places easily and efficiently"
And when the piano-tuner came to
tinker with her baby grand piano
and asked for some dust cloths to
clean out between the strings, she
lent him the electric cleaner instead.
Smarter than a half a dozen
housemaids'' was the verdict these
suburbanites passed on their
cleaner.

SIMON LEeREE ourDoNE
BY "RoMAN CENTURION"

During the filming OF the gorgeous
Roman scenes OF "Man-Woman
Marriage" the script required that a
girl slave be brutally lashed. Miss
Dorothy Phillips was the slave and
her costume revealed bare shoul-
ders. Two cat-o'.nine tails were In
the property department-one whose
thongs were Of the toughest raw
hide and the other of a plant imi-
tation.
Beat her as IL you meant it, Di-
rector Holubar ordered the Roman
centurion. AS the little star
erouched to the floor, the heavy
blows ralned upon her bare arms
and shoulders and an expression of
agony spread across her counte-
nance.
Good" shouted the director.
Keep 1t up"
But the terror in the face of the
lashed slave became too realistic
even for an artist Of Miss Phillips
recognized ability The screams
were too real. The director ordered
the scene halted. Investigation
proved that the centurion had been
handed the wrong whip, and that
he had been lashing the fair back
and shoulders of the star with a
rawhide that would have given great
satisfaction to one Simon Legree.

tress was again able to appear in
