HARD TO SELECT
WASHING MACHINE
Many Little Points to Con-
slider Before Purchase.

Before purchasing a washing ma
chine it Is desirable to know some
thing of the various types and the
principles on which each is operated,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. Although there are
over 100 makes of washing machines,
the various designs can be classified
into five types, most of which can be
operated by hand, water power, gas
oline engine, or electricity. The main
principle in all is the forcing of soapy
water through the clothes by agitating
the clothes and the water and thus
displacing the dirt.
The cylinder washers usually have
a perforated cylinder of metal or
wood for the clothes. This revolves
In an outer container for the soap
and water. reversing its direction at
regular intervals. The dolly or agitr
tor type, especially common in hand
power machines, has a revolving de-
vice attached to the lid or the bot
tom for moving the clothes about In
the water. The oscillating types have
"a metal or wooden tub which rocks
back and forth, tossing the clothes
through the water. The vacuum-cup
type is development of the funnel
on-a-stick washing device, and may
have from one to four cups which
move up and down, forcing water
through the clothes. The washboard
type is seen only In hand-power ma
chimes now.
Unless there Is pressure Of 10
to 20 pounds to the square inch at
the faucet and flow of to 6 gallons
per minute, a wster-power machine
will not be satisfactory. If an electric
machine is being purchased, the cur
rent specifications of the local source
of power must be known and given
In the order.
Consider all the following points:
Whether the gearing is enclosed or
open; whether the motor is water
tight or placed where there Is little
chance of its getting wet; how easily
the machine can be moved about and
yet held In place while the motor
is running; the shape and size of the
machine in relation TO the room where
it must be used and stored; how Oft
en- the machinery must be oiled and
whether that can be done easily
strength and rigidity of the frame !
and the service for repairs and new
parts.

Tyrus Cobb Blames His
Pitchers for Poor Show

1t takes pitchers as well as batters
to win pennants, and pitchers are
something the Tigers saint got" Ty
Cobb said as he packed away his base
ball clothes for the year. Cobb had
just completed his sixth year as man
ager of the Detroit Tigers, winding up
In sixth place.
"You know" he said, 1--WE have a
young team-just bunch Of kids.
They made more hits than any other
club In the league and scored almost
as many runs.
But, it takes pitchers to get up
there. Whenever you see club win
In fairly good streaks and then drop
games in just as long streaks, remem-
Der, it's the pitching. If you have the
pitchers they stop the losing streaks.
If you don't, it's luck when they stop"
Cob denied rumors that he would be
replaced as manager OF the Tigers by
Dan Howley, or anyone else
''Those rainy day stories read well"
he said, "but I'll be back here next
spring, and If we find the pitchers, we
have a young club that can do the
rest"

Clean Wax Floors

To clean wax floors, remove the
Aim of dirt and wax, which darkens
the floor, with cloth wrung out OF
warm soapy water, or better still
cloth moistened with turpentine or
gasoline. Remember though that tur-
pentine and gasoline are very infiam-
mable and do not use them in room
with an open fire or lighted lamp or
candle. After the dirty coating has
been removed, but be sure 1t Is all
removed and that the floor is clean
and dry, apply little more wax, and
rub 1t In well with a wooden cloth, or
weighted brush. Be careful, how
ever, not to apply too much wax.

or music lessons. or even bigger things
like owning a home or car-these
advantages have been achieved al
though 1t looked fairly hopeless at the
start. So 1t Is only short step from
that admission to the next, which Is
that by applying similar planning to
the whole range of household expendt-
lures, haphazard living could be con-
verted into steady forward progress
for the entire family. Every business,
even the United States government, Is
run on basis of a fixed sum allowed
for future expenditures, each class
planned In detail. The family budget
is different only In the amount of
money involved, but the same in prin-
ciple.
Many home makers do not realize
that part of their work is the man
agement Of q business, that one of
their important tasks Is the handling
Of part or all of the family income,
and that the success of their many
other activities depends largely upon
their success in doing this well. The
home maker who says she does not
wish to know how her money was
spent Is ignoring this aspect Of her
Job.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has recently issued a cir
cular intended to help you with the
details of budget planning. No author
ity can supply budget ready-made,

many suggestions as to how to group

Special attention is given to the mat

Cotton Mill Owners
Unite to Reorganize
the Whole Industry

NEW YORK, June Is. One big
union of cotton mill owners is the re-
suit northern and southern cotton
manufacturers expect from their New
York conference on the industry.
Sixty manufacturers from northern
and southern mills attended and de-
cided to allow the head of the north
ern employers group and the head of
the southern each pick FIVE men TO
investigate and work out further plans
for the consolidation of forces.
Industrial reorganization plans spon.
sored by the new union of employers
will very directly affect the workers
in the cotton industry. The industry
leads all others in the number OF
workers employed, the manufacturers
say.
Curtailment of production in cotton
mills is on the increase, the manufac-
turers report, meaning less work for
the workers and less pay. Curtail-
ment varies from 20 per cent to 50
per cent and in the southern yarn
spinning mills, particularly, it is done
by mutual agreement.
