Ironing Machine
a Boon
BY Hannah Wing

To some the answer to the laundry
problem is a wash-woman either in
side the house or outside. To others
it's n wash-woman plus the laundry /;
to some it's the laundry alone, and
to others it's a well-cquippcd laundry
with or without extra help.
But to some, although the wash
ing may be done outside the house,
the ironing is still done by hand.
To such the electric iron with it's
steady heat without heating the room
was big help. But now the ironcr
or ironing machine promises to do
for ironing what the washing machine
a couple Of decades ago did for wash
ing.
The ironing machine of today is
sort Of animated iron and ironing
board combination which can be used
satisfactorily by even an unskillcd
person. As matter Of fact, it irons
better than many n skilled person.
1t can be used wherever enough cleo
tricity is available to run the small
motor which causes the roller to
rcyolvc, whether the current be sup
piled from a household light plant
or high power line. The cost of
electricity required to run the motor
is small 1t will not exceed two
cents an hour in most localities.
Electricity is perhaps the clcancst
and most satisfactory source of heat
for heating the ironer. but if the
home cannot obtain it or cannot af-
ford to use il, any number of diff
fcrcnt fuels can be used for this pur-
poSe-kersoenc, gasoline or gas mat
ural, artificial or bottled). The cost
Of heating it with one of these is
we'll within the reach of the average
purse.
Without doubt the initial cost of
the ironing machine is the chief rca.
son why there are so few of them in
our homes. But if only two or four
hours were saved each week through
out the year by the use of one. this
the investment.
What can one iron in an ironing
machine?" is the question most wO-
men ask.
Generally speaking. everything can
be ironcd in it. However, some
things can be ironed much easier
than others. All flat pieces can be
irOned quickly and satisfactorily. The
finish produced is very often superior
to that of hand ironing. And as you
use an ironing machine you learn
how to select or make garments. such
as house dresses, underwear and chill
drcn's clothes, which can be ironed
easily and at n saving of time.
Sheets, bedsprcads, table cloths and
lunch cloths usually are folded only
once lengthwise before being put into
the ironer. Pillow cases should be
started through, closed end first.
without folding. Napkins and hanC
towels must be started straight and
can be put through several at one
time. This not only saves time but
eliminates scorching by the part OF
the ironer which is not being used
continuously.
The ironing machine Of today is
indeed an Investment well worth
| looking into.

Some Pointers
on Manners
Bv Mrs. Beeckman
How To Introduce.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Is this the
proper way to introduce an elderly
man to a girl: "Mr. Grant, meet Miss
Foso?" -.
2. In these modern times should
the girls greet the boys on the streets,
or should the boys greet the girls? l
think the first is proper, but most
girls do not.
3. What can a girl say or do when
a man comes to get her in his car and
he drives to the walk and honks the
horn? Is it proper to make a remark
about it?
4. Should a girl go out with a
boy il she has had no introduction to
him, but they have been thrown to-
gether several times?

No. You should never use this form
Of introduction. 1t is always awk.

Yes or No?

1. Can fruit acids injure the fibre of
fabrics?
.. Will squash keep as well in
cold storage as out?
8. Is corn starch the best kind
of starch for clothes?
4. Do bees ever steal honey from
other bees?
Answers to these questions may
be found
1. Yes. Organic acid such as that
in grapes, tomatoes, or vinegar, il
allowed to dry on a fabric and later
is moistened and ironed In, does af-
feet the fibre.
2. No. Squash requires warm
place for storage, fifty degrees f.
or more.
3. No. Rice starch makes clothes
smoother and whittier than ordinary
corn starch. 1t is used extensively
in France and Belgium for fine laund.
cTing.
4. Yes. Bees do sometimes steal
honey from other bees, especially if
the weaker swarm has no queen or
an unfertile queen. They will even
attack n strong swarm for linden
honey, when the entire store of a
strong hive may be stolen in from
two to twelve hours.

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
A Chieftain of Asia.

We had crossed the Himalaya,
Mountains and were going into that
country, which until recent years was.
almost n mysterious one on account
Of its wild tribes and its natural for.
tifications of the great mountains,
which we crossed.
But a brave English explorer BY
the name of Younghusbandman, with
great difficulties, was the first to open
this great land to travellers, and many
have gone since, among them Bobby,
Bunny and myself. !
There are strange animals theres
among them the yak, which is used for'
a beast of burden, food and milk, and
even the hides furnish clothing for.
the strange people who live IN rnar
bleak land.
But we saw something up there
which was even of more interest to
us than the yak. You'll never guess
what il was that we saw. We saw
herd of wild horses! Yes, sir, wild
horses, like the ancestors of our own
horses of today.
We were riding along on plateau
which overlooked great plain below.
l was driving, and, naturally, didn't
have much time to look around at the
landscape unless stopped the engine
and put on the brakes, so Bobby was
the fellow who was the lookout for
anything interesting. /,
Suddenly he cried: I,
stop, Foxy Grandpa. There's a
herd of something over there. Won
der If it is deer.
wild horses, as live" l declared.
we are fortunate. Very few people
in the world see this sight"
Cant we get little nearer, roxy
Grandpa?" asked Bobby, looking
through the glasses which / had just
handed to him.
"As near as we possibly can" I
said. But / am afraid to get too
near. This motor is bound to fright
en- them away"
However, l started the engine and
went very slowly on toward the
horses, who were grazing peacefully
on the plain below the great shelf Of
earth on which we were driving.
Better slow up" suggested Bunny.
Il think the leader sees you" .
Quickly, l took Bunny's advice and
not only slowed Up my car but shut off
They saw US all right" / said.
For at that very moment such a kicks
ing up of hind legs and swishing OF
tails you never saw. Off the herd
of wild horses galloped, following their
leader, who led them as if he had been
in command. And strange to say, 10
was Bunny who afterward told me-
that that horse was their real leader.
He was n chieftain horse.
"They surely obcyed him and tol-
lowed him, didn't they?" 1 asked
Bunny, after we had started on our
way.
"Oh, yes" said Bunny, "the strong
est stallion in the herd is the cnief-
tain. He warns the other stations,
mares and colts of danger and leads
them out of it."
How well they obey his com
mands," l again commenced.
Yes" said Bunny. Men might
not have been able to control horses
and make them their servants If it
hadn't been for the fact that for CEN
turtles horses were used TO being obedi-
ent and doing what they were told by
their chieftain."
Il do believe you're right, Bunny"
said ], leaning over to change my gear
to go up n sharp grade.
