you follow carefully the instructions

the washing time. In many of the
new washers the actual washing

Ironing Simplified.
There are many homemakers
who find the electric ironer to be
the most important of all the time
and labor saving appliances with
which our homes are equipped. The
ironer has eliminated the necessity
for standing while ironing and

of a first-floor laundry, you may
still prefer to place yours in the
basement, but first make sure the
basement is waterproof and well
ventilated. Modern heating units are
so compact, spotlessly clean and free
from dust and dirt that it is prac-
ticable to combine the laundry with
or near the heater room. Clothes
lines strung overhead provide drying
facilities for days when the weather
does not permit drying out of doors
and for those whose laundry equip
ment does not boast of dryer.
Counter for Sorting Advised.
Laundering begins with sorting
and mending, therefore, a good-sized
sorting table or counter should be
provided right next to the clothes
chute. This same counter or table
will be used as the work surface for
removing stains and for starching
and sprinkling. The table should be
neither too high nor too low for the
person who will work at it. Provide
a stool of comfortable height, for
these operations are performed just
as efficiently while one is seated.
Portable bins, stored under the
sorting table, are a great con-
venience. They eliminate STOPPING to

logical sequence for each operation
performed, from the time the soiled
clothes enter the laundry room, un-

closet shelves and in dresser drawers.

"One of the first important con-
siderations is the location of the
laundry-will it be on the first floor
or will it be in the basement? For

ironing time is greatly reduced.
There are different types of electric
ironers; some rotary, some fiat plate

matter which one is used, all of the
ironing Is accomplished while one is

the electric ironer and chair, the

were set up around the plant at
advantageous spots, with the walls
of the plant especially soundproof-
ed to take care of recording re-
