Aiding the Consumer
b Betty Miles

The purchasing housewife, baf0ed
by lack OF information on current
products. may find literature de-
Isigned to aid the consumer . boon.
The Consumer Research Bulletin.
published by Consumers Research,
Inc, Of Washington, N. j, and
Consumer Reports published BY
Consumers Union Of the United
States, Inc, located ut ~ Union
Square. New York City, both make
Iconsalmer-brief their business.
Both are nonproht organizations.
/ When the consumer has q ques-
ton, this is the sort OF help she
lean get. Let's say the case OF the
automatic washer versus the nom
automatic washer aong Of interest
/ to Clearing House readersl Is before
the board. In the May. 1916, issue
tof the Consumers Research Bulle-
tin the pros and cons OF both are
discussed. The year-old statement
represents the Bulletins latest stand
lon the subject. When research
justifies new conclusions, another
| statement should appear.
The machines were tested for the
following qualities: a. Washing ef-
fectiveness, (2) effectiveness Of dry
ing, (31 wear on clothes, (4a elec-
trical tests for safety. t5) starting
current tests to determine the effect
of the washer on the electric bill,
(6) wringer safety tests for nom
automatic types, and I'd an endur-
ance test. An explanation Of the
method OF testing Is also included.
Consumers Research, Inc, came
to the following conclusion: Ger
tain types Of onautomatic washers
do more thorough job than the
automatic type, and 'tattle tale
gray" is still the ghost haunting the
automatic washer manufacturer
They do some predicting about
washing machines, however, and
imply that the bugs" will be elm
mated from the automatic type.
Incidentally, all of the machines are
called by their trade names; the
buyer is not confused by obscure
references.
Housewives, they feel, prefer the
automatic type. Much in its favor
Is the fact that 1t reduces the work
involved In doing the family wash.
Not infallible, OF course, is the
Judgment Of such magazines, as
some manufacturers have contested.
They are, however, sources Of con-
siderable value to the honlemaker.
Washington public librarians are
ready to do a job Of fact-hunting
for the consumer, actually doing any
research necessary. A personal visit
to the library by the buyer will
probably be more satisfying than a
telephone call. There should be
data available on practically any

IRONING TIPS.
From, Mrs. J. d. W., PooIesDille, Md.)
To those who do their own wash
ing and ironing and have a roller
wringer:: After the first wringing
fold pants correctly with creases
where they belong and put through
wringer smoothly. Hang straight
on line with cuffs up. Iron just
before they dry and many, many
minutes are saved. Same goes for
knitted jersey sweaters.
USING DETERGENT?
(From Mrs. C. ". r., EsseT, N. CO.
I read your Clearing House as
siduously and enjoy it tremen-
dously. I get The Star because ]
still like it (am an ex-D. c. vicinity
dweller) better than my local N. G.
papers.
A question. please: If the liquid
detergent is good for dishes but not
for seasoned pans is it not likely
to injure hands by removing too
much grease and leaving them dry?

To the reader who wanted to

tablecloth which had designed and
made myself. The only protection
I had was thickness of newspapers.
I had filled both cartons and be-
fore / knew what was going on
both cartons gave away and had
a quart of bright red candle grease
all over the cloth. Believe you me,
It was thick and 1t hardened very
quickly. was distressed. + was
sure that my beautiful cloth was
ruined and Of no more use. de-
cided before I discarded 1t would

ironing the cloth with very hot

cloth between two sheets OF paper.
and ironed until the paper was fuli
Of the candle grease. I kept this
up until the last time I ironed not
a bit of grease was left to come on
on the paper. OF course, I used up
a lot of brown paper. After all the
grease was removed I still had the
red dye on the cloth. To remove
this 7 washed the cloth (ecru in
