"AUTOMATIC
DRYERS"

A LABOR saving device for the
honemaker to add to her laundry
equipment is an automatic clothes
dryer. No more carrying heavy
bundles of wet clothing. No more
days of hanging clothes up, then
scrambling to get them down be-
cause of unpredictable weather
condisons. You can be certain Of
dry clothes no matter what kind
of weather. For those who live
in areas where air Is laden with
SCOT or dust the automatic dryer
relieves them of many worries and
always delivers the clothes fresh
and fluffy. The high drying tenn
perature-190 degrees sanitizes
clothes in many respects more eft.
fectively than sunlight. Hospitals.
hotels and commercial laundries
use a high temperature for drying
and s~terilizing clothes. With the
automatic dryer the clothes may
be damp dried ready for ironing
or completely dried ready to put
away.
The average automatic clothes
dryer will hold 9 lbs. Of dry clothes
or 18 lbs. of wet clothes In n
load. This is true Of the cylinder
type dryer which uses a q battle
to lift clothes, and a tumbling ac-
ton to keep them fluffy. The
clothes are revolved on a per-
forated cylinder while heated air
is blown upon them. This type
of dryer has an automatic tenn.
p~erature control so the operator
a choose and maintain a con-
slant, safe and correct drying
temperature for any fabric. Also
a time control permits the clothes
to be removed dry for storing or
damp for Forming. The time con-
troll automatically shuts off the
heat, and stops the rotating cylin-
der at the desired dryness. It
takes about Is to rs minutes to
damp dry the clothes and from
80 minutes up for completely dried
clothes. This automatic con-
venience costs very little per
wisher load for operation. Other
advantages Of the new type dryers
are the ease of loading and the
small floor space required for the
machine.
A few general points to remem-
Der when using an automatic
dryer are:
. Light weight items dry faster
than heavier items 30 clothes
must be sorted according to
fabric weight.
. Colored and white clothes must
be dried separately.
. Do not add wet clothes after
some have started to dry.
The tumbling action f1uffs the
clothes smooth and wrinkle-fres.
Towels and flannel items can be
folded and put away without IRON
ing.

What theRussions
Are Saying of U.s.:

The Khabarousk radio, broadcast
ing in Russian to the Soviet Fa
East this ueek, said:
THE aims of American expan-
sionism in the Arctic areas are be-
coming more and more apparent.
and today it is no longer a secret
to anyone that the heightened
interest of the United States in
the Arctic is nothing more than
striving to occupy military
strategic positions in preparation
for fulfillment of Wall Street
plans of world domination.
-" 1t is becoming increasingly
apparent that the Arctic expan-
sionism of the United States is
assuming three basic objectives.
In the first place it provides for
the establishment of American
control over the polar regions of
Canada. and, under this pretext.
over number of other areas of
Canada, too. Secondly, the mill
tary command and the reaction
ary circles of the United States
are striving to strengthen and
expand American bases in the
North Atlantic. primarily in Ice
land, and also to set up base
points in Scandinavian territory.
Thirdly, they are engaged il a
very energetic modernization of

Angling for Nomination
As Vice President
By Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18.-
Unless the Democrats of Cali
fornia bury the hatchet - and
quit burying it in each other
they will have little chance of
carrying the State next year.
Up to date, the raprochement
is not in sight.
What they need out here is an F.
D. R. They have, it is true, Roose-
velt, Jimmy" the Oldest son of the
late President, who Is chairman Of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. Mr.. Roosevelt is politically
ambitious. 1t is common talk he
would like to be the vice presiden-
tial nominee to run with President
Truman.
His prospects for such nomina-
ton would have been far brighter
had Chairman Roosevelt made a
better showing in last years guber-
material and congressional cam
paign. The potency of his name,
plus a bit of political trading, got
him the State Craftsmanship last
year. And it is still the potency of
the Roosevelt name that gives him
any chance whatever for vice
presidential nomination.
Disaffection in Labor.
In his four presidential cam
paigns, the late President Roosevelt
carried the State in a big way.
President Truman's prospects as the
Democratic nominee next year,
however, are a different kettle of
fish. Union labor, despite Mr. Tru-
mans veto of the Taft-Hartley
bill, is by no means for him as a
unit. The radical labor group-and
there are plenty of radicals in the
unions here-has no use for Mr..
Truman's get tough" policy to-
wards Soviet Russia. The radicals
call him "war-monger." Also they
blame him for not having worked
