Efficient Homemaking
Depends on Equipment

Efficient homemaking depends on
the efficiency of the equipment used.
Since appliances will not give the
best service unless they are in good
working order, Thelma Beall, home
management specialist, Ohio State
university, advises women to oper-
ate appliances as instructed, keep
them clean, and oil as required and
to watch electric cords and repair
or replace them when worn.
The real cause for the failure OF
many electric appliances lies in the
cord, appliance plug, or outlet plug.
In handling the appliance cord, al
ways grasp it by the plug and not
by the cord itself Rough handling
is hard on the fine wires inside the
cord and will eventually cause them
to break and cut through the protec-
tive covering.
Electric washers give the best
service when not overloaded with
either clothes or water. In starting
the machine, first start the motor
and then throw the machine into
gear. In stopping, throw the ma
chine out of gear before turning
off the motor. Keep the washer in
a dry, clean place.
Best results with an electric iron
come from keeping its sole or bot
tom surface clean and being care
full not to scratch it. II, the iron
has temperature regulator, cur
rent and time are saved by set
ting it at the proper point for the
fabric to be ironed.
The vacuum cleaner is one of the
most neglected pieces of equipment.
Housewives too often pick up bits OF
glass, pins, or metal objects with
the sweeper. which may clip the fan
blades or make holes in the dust
bag. Women are reminded that the
dust bag is not storage place for
dirt. The bag should be cleaned
regularly but never washed, aswash-
ing removes the filler" which helps
to make the bag dustproof.
The enameled parts of a range
may be washed with soap and water
or mild abrasive when the range
is cold. The metal may be pol
ished with whiting or metal polish.
Food spilled on electric cooking
units is burned off and any parti-
cles left in the grooves can be
brushed out. Electric refrigerators
require little attention, although the
food compartment needs cleaning at
regular intervals.

Prison Has Piaygrounds

A model prison" was opened In
Venezuela Incorporating cells with
adjoining baths and free circulation
Of air; Fairgrounds, orchards and
ample ground for development of q
vegetable garden.
This city, with 5000 population.
has watched the construction of the
model prison with interest, mas
much as there is not hotel in the
entire state of Yaracuy, Of which
San Felipe is the capital, which can
boast Of rooms with bath.
Construction of the prison was or
dered by Gov. Luis Felipe Lopez of
Yaracuy as an experiment in re-
Mobilization Of criminals.
The model prison is the first of
its kind In Venezuela, and students
OF penology will study its effect ON
