Call Modern Ironer Great
The originator of the proverb,
"hard work never hurt anybody.
could not have been the one who
did the family ironing by hand.
Anyone who had this chore to
perform knows what a "back
breaker" it literally is, and there
are scientific studies to support
this belief.
No wonder the arrival of auto
matic ironers was hailed by house
wives everywhere as a "great
emancipator."
Consider the lime saving. Where
ironing by hand requires hours to
do. you can do shirts with an au
tomatic ironer at the rate of one
in four minutes.
And while the woman who docs

Laundry No Problem
For Smart St. Nicks
So your wife has just gone out
to do some Christmas shopping
and she left you with the family
wash? That's no problem at all.
Here are a few tips on doing
the laundry the way your wife
does it.
First, sort the laundry into piles
of white, colored and man-made
fiber garments (your Dacron
slacks, for instance). The manu
facturer's label should tell you the
construction of the garment.
Set aside the clothing that have
dark colors that are apt to fade,
(iive these a separate wash, for
they might fade or spot other gar
ments. Brush Uie sand, grass and
dirt that may have accumulated
out of the trouscr pockets and
cuffs, and apply some detergent di
rectly to all badly soiled or grease
slained areas. Close the zippers on
all the clothes.
First Things First
Wash the white clothes first,
and keep the water hot. White
clothes of natural fibers can stand
tho hottest water.
For bleaching, follow directions
on the package to obtain the prop
er amount. Add the blench to the
water and allow the machine to
agitate for a full minute.
Use a measuring cup and fol
low the directions on the box or
bottle when adding detergent. Re
member that too many suds cut
down Uie washing action.
When loading the machine,
place about nine pounds of clothes
in the machine (if the washer is
standard size), or load tho mach
ine until the loosely folded clothei
come within two inches of the tip
of the agitator basket.
Large pieces should be mixed
with smaller items, rather than
be washed together.
After tho white things arc
washed, the light colored items
have their turn. If your machine
is equipped with a suds-saving de
vice you can use the same water.
or if fresh water is drawn, turn
the water temperature down to
"warm." i
The next load will contain more j
heavily soiled cottons. Use clean, '
hoi water.
When you do the synthetic fib-:
ers, if you have an automatic
machine, set the wash tempera-1
tore al "cold" and the agitation
and spin speeds al "slow" or '
"synthetic fabrics" setting. Sepa-,
rate colors. Put clothes in washer
and let it run its complete cycle, i

package as to amount. Pour the
slareh in the machine and let it
mix with the waler before putting
in the clothes. After the load is
removed, wine the agitator bas
ket with a clean cloth to remove
excess starch.
As each load of clothes comes
from the automatic washer load it
into the dryer. For loads of heavy
sheets and pillow cases, set the
dryer temperature on ' high'' with
the time at :ts to 45 minutes, de
pending on the size of the load.
Cotton sport shirts ami children's
play clothes should be dried at
"medium" settings, with a time
of 15 lo 25 minutes. For synthetics,
set Ihe dryer temperature on
'"low" and the time control dial
at from five to 10 minutes.
If the load is small, use the
