New lncinerator
Reduces Chore Of
Burning Garbage
Perforated FIue Let's
Air Pour In; Rubbish
Burns From Top
By DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Burning garbage in the back yard,
no trick at all for the householder
who lives in the suburbs or country
all year, assumes the proportions OF
a major chore for the city dweller
who goes to the country only for the
summer. But it need not be a ter
rife task for the latter if he has one
of the new outdoor mclnerators
which burn garbage and rubbish
from the top instead of from the
bottom.
There is such an incinerator, con-
sisting of a porcelain enamel can
in 1l2 and 2 bushel sizes and
patent perforated flue which ex-
tends through the entire inciner-
ator. Because of the perforated
f1ue, air is fed constantly to the
fire. Apply match to the top and
the flame burns downward without
clogging the flue, packing the rub
bish and garbage or smothering the
fire.
The enameled can is rather good
looking, blue and white speckled
enamel fused to metal for the body,
with top. lid, CRATE and legs of cast
iron. The garbage should be placed
in the can in alternate layers with
rubbish. which, being dry, burns
more rapidly. No fire is visible while
1t is in operation and there is a
spark arreStor in the stack. 1t is

in an unobtrusive part of the back

problem for those who find garbage
collection expensive or unobtainable.
A Paint Deodorant.
Many persons are contemplating
having their homes repainted this
fall, so they will be nice and fresh
before rehanging drapes and re-
spreading the rugs. Thinking about
1t, our nostrils smell the freshly ap-
piled paint and We recall how we
had difficulty going to sleep that
flrst night after the bedroom was
painted last time.
For an outlay of from 10 cents to
81 that paint smell can be elini-
mated by adding a deodorant to the
paint before it is applied. The smell
foober consists of a combination of
oeodorants used in the proportion
OF one-quarter ounce to a quart of
prepared paint, one ounce to a GAL
Ion, and one pint to 20 gallons. It
can be purchased ready to be added
to the paint. The quarter-ounce
bottle, really just sample, costs 10
cents, the ounce bottle, 25 cents. the
pint, Sl.75.
The full aroma develops after the
pant has been applied, pleasant
aroma that masks the paint odors
throughout the drying period. The
deodorant does not affect the color.

A New Putty Knife.
A new putty knife for setting
window glass in place packs the
putty smoothly and picks up excess
putty as it goes along.
This is possible because of its two
sngled f1anges. which pack the putty
tight around window sash and
spread it smooth at the same time.
The excess putty in picked up by
the angled ends of the knife. which
are held flush with both sash and
glass: as the knife is drawn down.
ward it automatically picks up putty
from both the glass and the sash.
1t is so simple to handle a child
can use it.
The metal knife has baked
enamel, bright-red finish that makes
1t easy to see in the toolbox. 1t
costs 10 cents.
