New Clothes Dryer
Included Among
Latest Gadgets
By D. M. Derwin

Many new homes being con-
structed in the suburbs are de-
signed and set off with the ap-
propriate landscaping to create
a serene and picturesque scene
Nothing will scatter this beauty
more quickly than the sight OF
the old familiar clotheSllne
stretched across the scene-with
or without the family wash on
it. A new automatic tumble-ac-
ton electric clothes dryer that
runs on an ordinary l15-volt
house current "a. c. and dries
a full washer load of clothes in
a reasonable time has recently
been placed on the market.
This new dryer permits the full
use of a totally automatic home
laundry. 1t will enable busy
housewives to dry their clothes
without spelling the surroundings
of their homes for even a part
of a day as we'll as to become in
dependent of the weatherman and
his WhimS.
New Air Flow System.
This new tumble action dryer
REQUIRES no more work than the
transfer of clothes from the wash
ing machine to the dryer and was
made possible through the de-
velopment of a new system OF
air flow within the machine.
BY using this new system, the
heated air Immediately begins the
drying operation. 1t reduces dry
ing time by one-third as compared
to the conventional method where
heated air must pass through per-
forationS of the basket in which
the clothes are held, thus lower
ing the heat efficiency and in
creasing the drying time, as the
entire metal basket absorbs heat
from the air before passing it on
to the clothes.
There is, also, in the conven- |
tional dryer, a certain amount OF
heat that by-passeS the basket
and the clothes and is lost out
the exit.
Heating Element Hidden.
In the new dryer the heating
element "a 1,500-watt elemenD is
concealed in the blower housing
below the drying basket. which is
an added safety advantage, since
it eliminates the danger of the
heating element contracting the
clothes.
A 6-inch fan pulls the fresh
air through the grill opening in
front of the machine. over the
heating element and directly into
the front opening of the snap
proof dryer basket.
In the 115-volt model, while
the drying time will depend on

Stubborn Sophie

the same result the teacher had
secured-utter and resolute 81
lence. Father scolded and mother
pleaded but Sohpie held tightly
to her resolution to be silent.
When she was alone in bed that
night, she cried until the bed
shook with her sobs.
Wakened by the sound of the
child's weeping. her mother went
to her and said, Sophie, Sophie,
don't cry. I know you don't mean
to be bad. Just try. That's all
we want. Just try to do what we
ask you to-"
What the teacher and Sophie's S
parents did not know was that
Sophie felt 50 ashamed of max
ing the mistake, 50 hurt at being
laughed at, 50 bewildered by the
teachers disapproval, that she
could not speak. She was not
set in willful opposition to the
teacher nor to her parents. She
was choked by humiliation and
shame. Too sensitive to brush
such things off as some happy

Bad Correspondents Are Social Offenders
In NeqLectinq Families Qnd Friends

darkened your house, they would
be there to hold out a friendly
hand of sympathy. But if they
are separated from you, and the
expression of their sentiments to-
ward you requires the writing Of
letter. you never hear from
them.
Men Neglect Mothers
The worst offenders are those
who do not write to their mothers.
To their credit be it said that few
women are guilty of this sin. Most
women, no matter how hard
worked they are, how busy they
may be, still find time to write
back home to their mothers long
gossipy letters telling them all the
little details of their lives. But
there are thousands upon thous-
ands of men who never write at
all to their mothers, or. if they do
occasionally send mother line, it
is formal dictated note that has
as much heart in it as an order for
a ton of coal.
They never think, these busy
men, Of the old people who have
no interest in life left except their
children, and to whom middle
aged men and women are still boys
and girls about whom they are an
xious. and who watch for the COM
ing of the postman every morning
with hope in their hearts and who
turn sadly and duly and dispir-
itedly away when no white en-
velope with beloved script upon
it is handed in to them.
Be sure that the sin that many
a man is going to repent most
bitterly in tears and remorse is
the letter he failed to write to his
mother. And 50 shall we all regret
the letters we might have written
that would have comforted our
friends and kept alive the fire OF
love on the family altar.

giggled. Sophie's cheeks famed,
her mouth shut in a tight line
and she sat down.
"Oh, come, Sophie. Anybody
can make a mistake. We all do.
Come. Try that again" Sophie
did not move a muscle.
Sophie. Try. If you won't re-
cite will have to mark you fall

she heard save by the deeper red
dening Of her cheeks. The teach
er put a red mark on the roll and
called the girl in the front seat
to recite, which she did with a
shake of her curls and in perfect
English and cadence.
When Sophie's report went
home the teacher had written this
note in explanation of the failure
in literature: Sophie is stub

children can easily do. she stood
mute.
We teachers and all parents
have to deal with the child as he
is and not as what we want him
to be. There are children who
can laugh off a mistake, who can
take q joke on themselves, who
can get out Of an embarrassing
position with CHEEKY nonchalance,
but there is the occasional over
sensitive one to whom a mistake
is a disaster. Deal gently with
such children. Win their trust
and affection before trying to
help them overcome their diff
culties.

Letter writing appears to be one
of the things that we either
underdo or overdo. We are af-
ficted with either total pen
paralysis, or else we slop over
reams of fine white paper and
write things which we never
should have written.
All of us have entertained
guests who seemed to have a good
time and were voluble in their
thanks for our hospitality, but
who never wrote back even a
bread-and-butter letter. All OF
us have sped friends on their
journeys and never got a line
back to apprise us of their safe
arrival. All of us have mem
bers of our families living in
distant places about whom we
are continually anxious because
we hear from them so sell
dom. All of us know the watch
ing and waiting and the disap-
pointment of looking for the letter
that never comes.
Now these people who never
write letters are not deliberately
rude nor cruel. They are just
selfish and unregardful Of the
comfort and pleasure of others
