"THANKLEss TASKS"

A remark often heard from the
lips OF a public official or others try
ing to accomplish something, is This
is a thankless task" No job, well
done, is 'thankless." Leaving out OF
the calculation the fact that per-
sons consciousness that he has done
the work we'll is, in itself thanks
worth winning, there are always peo-
pie who appreciate the workers &C.
complishment even though the work
err never hears of such appreciation.
Human nature demands some recog-
milton of labor we'll performed. Too
much praise spoils many. too little
ruins others. II the fact that their
work counts were more generally ap-
preciated by people who believe their
preciated by people who believe theirs
is a ''thankless task" they would have
the courage to keep everlastingly at it,
convinced of the truth that what they
do well is not "thankless.
In this city recently there has been
an example of this situation. We had
an efficient health officer. He had
many plans for the betterment of
health conditions in this city Some
of them he put over" Often he was
practically without hope that he
could accomplish what he wanted to.
He felt fairly secure of his job, but
none too sure. He was sure of it as
events have shown. Had anyone told
him a few months ago that, upon his
resignation, a movement to raise his
salary over $1,000 would be started
he would not have credited the state
ment.
That health officer has resigned to
accept a more lucrative position. That
movement, to meet the increased
salary he was to receive, would have
been carried out but for the realiza-
ton by those back of 1t that 1t would
do no good, The mayor has written
the authorities of the city to which
the health superintendent is going,
that said city is TO be congratulated on
securing him. And yet, even If he did
not say publicly, it is probable that
our former health superintendent. afz
ter the failure, for instance. Of his
plan to have our water supply pro-
tected by prohibiting cutting of ice on
Shuttle Meadow lake adopted had the
discouraging thought that his was a |

THE FL1yvER AIRPLANE

Since Barbot showed what could
be done with a little flying affair
which measures only q bit over 40
feet from wing-up to wing-tip;
which can cover so air-miles on a
gallon of gasoline and can be built in
quantities, for about the price of the
most inexpensive automobile fivver,
people have begun to sit UP and see
themselves going to the corner gro
Gerry in a fiivver airplane. Now comes
this Mummert chap who builds a
plane about half as large as Barbot's
and lets an air pilot play with it over
Roosevelt Field, Long Island.
The pilot scars up about a quarter
Of a mile In the baby affair which
weighs, pilot and all, only about 500
pounds and actually does some mod
est stunts in the air, propelled by the
little two-cylinder, IA horse power en-
CINE. He few along at the rate of some
10 miles an hour Later the maker
stated that the little plane could fly
over distance equal to about third
of the way across the continent on one
filling Of gass.

Henry stop running for president If
he wants to. Henry makes a nice lit
tie instrument and he has Just as
good a chance of riding up to the
White House in one of his little crea-
tions as Bryan had Of rolling UP there

anyone has of flying there in this little
baby Mummert airplane. But the
news should make future purchasers
of land figure on enough ground to
allow them to build, in addition to the
necessary garage, small hangar in
which to keep their infant prodigy
of the air. For we must all own them
even If we don't acquire the nerve
to fly in 'em.

TOWN Is SAVED

Linguaglossa VIII Not Be Devastated
Unless There is a New Outbreak Of
volcano-Patron Saint Is Praised.
BY Tho Associated Press.
Catania, Italy, June 21.-Unless
there is a new and strong emission OF
lava from Mount Etna the town OF
Linguaglossa which has been threat
ened for the last three days, Is almost
certainly safe from destruction. says
official reports from the devastated
region.
The huge stream Of lava which has
been advancing steadily toward the
town now has been deviated into a
side road and is flowing with accel-
Grated velocity into neighborins
valley which is gradually becoming a
veritable lake Of fire.
The few Inhabitants remaining In
Linguaglossa ascribe the diversion OF
the lava to the towns patron saint,
Saint Edigo, to whom prayers and
gifts were fervently offered through
out the recent days of terror.
The atmosphere for miles around
the volcano is still dense with the
ashes hurled skyward from the crater,
which is now completely hidden by
dense pail Of smoke and cinders.
Thunderous explosions continue and
from all quarters are heard distress
sing tales of wild stampedes by the
panic stricken population, destruction
OF homes and heroic efforts at rescue.

surface and not in the centre.
And lastly when you are done with
your washer by all means release
the springs which keep the rolls
close together so that they can
have rest and be free from strain
while the machine is not in use.
Never put kerosene or any oil or
strong acid on your rollers, as this
will destroy the rubber.
Another error is improper clean
ing Of the machine after you have
finished using it. The first thing
for you TO do after having finished
your wash is to rinse your machine.
It is q good plan to half fill the
washer with clean water to which
has been added a couple of table
spoons of ammonia; close the lid
and agitate for couple of
minutes, then drain; this will free
the washer Of all lint, hair and
grease so that it will be clean and
ready when you next want to
use it.
Another err0f-dO not make the
mistake of keeping the lid or cover
on the tub during the week; always
take off or lay back such cover,
and if it be metal wipe it care
fully and always wipe the inner
parts as dry as possible. If you
do not the metal will corrode,
sometimes show a greenish de-
posit, cause the interior to "sweat, :"
and encourage smells.
It seems hardly necessary to
even suggest that no stale wash
water should ever be left in the

easily be kept clean with a scour-

Be sure the connecting cord does
not lie around on the floor and is
not strained or allowed to become
frayed where connected with your
light socket. Be sure to use a
dOuble-plug connection such as
permits the use Of both light and
power utility at the same time, as
it is very convenient to have light
to see by without detaching the
washer. 1t is possible to do q
large washing with a mower
washer without even wetting
the floor or the person doing the
work. No other mechanical eQuip-
ment for the home il better made

without any back breaking or
heavy strain on the part OF the
housewife or laundress.
The power washer Is indeed one
OF the most marvellous and princi-
pal home labor savers now within
the purse Of any family. A washer
does wash clean; it does re-
move dirt from cuffs and meek
bands; it does wash colored
clothes or finest garments without
fading or injury. But the service
it gives you, Mrs. Housewife,
is in direct ratio to the care
and intelligence with which you
operate and keep II in condi-
ton.

that it will never be sweet again.
You simply cannot expect to wash
clean if you leave your tub dirty,
no more than you could expect to
wash your face clean in a hand
basin in which dirty or soiled
water had been left standing for
several days.
Another point to watch is the
drain. This may be of different
types, depending upon whether
your machine is permanently COM,
nected or not. In any case, watch
that it does not become stopped
up with lint, grease, etc. Try the
plan of pushing up and down the
opening q small wire or 1Oc bottle
brush; If necessary pour q bucket
of boiling water to which a half
cup of washing soda has been
added down the drain. Indeed, q
cleaning with washing soda water
about once a month is very ex-
cellent for keeping the whole tub
fresh and clean smelling.
Since the motor is the most
delicate part of any mechanism,
be sure you give it considerable
care. No motor should ever get
wet If this can possibly be avoided.
In some machines the motor is
covered, in others it is exposed.
Wherever it is exposed be sure
that water is not splashed upon it.
It is a good plan to keep it covered
with square of oilcloth when not
in use.
Doubtless you are interested in
the appearance of your machine,
therefore every means you take to
prevent rust and stain will serve
to keep it better looking. Most
of the enamel surface washers can
