Page Two Future Looks Bright; By S BURTON HEATH NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (NEA) There goes the war, and here comes the housewife's golden age. From now on, if she can wangle the price out of hubby's war savings, Milady can keep house almost without turning a hand. That is a slight exaggeration. There still are a few things about the house that machines can not do. In fact, the machines are not yet On the store shelves. But the really difficult chores of house work have been conqured by modern science. Leisure lo Burn The electric stove will turn it self on at a pre-determined hour in the morning and fry the bacon she left last night in the pan. The pcrculator will go to work by it self, make the coffee, and then shut off just enough to keep that odorous brew at a drinkable 100 degrees. Bread will feed down through the electric toaster all by itself, though, thus far, you still have to butter it yourself and lift it to your own mouth. After breakfast, just scrape leavings into the garbage dispos al unit, which will chew them up and wash them into the sewer. Then stack the dishes in the sink. There they'll wash and dry them selves. Perhaps, in time, if you start with them young, you can train your china and glass ware to roll to the dish closet and dis tribute themselves. About that butter for your toast, and even more important for your bread: Up to now, you have had the option of leaving It out at room temperature, and seeing it flow all over things, or putting it in the refrigerator and finding it so hard it won't spread. That's all ancient history in this post-war era we're about to enter. There'll be a little special cubicle in the refrigerator, sized for a pound of butter, at tho ex act temperature. Breakfast is over; the dishes have washed themselves. But It's Monday morning and wash day. So what? You just toss a little soap powder into the automatic washer, which itself draws the exact amount of water it needs. You toss in some clothes and open the latest best-seller at page 648, where you left it at bedtime. In perhaps 20 minutes the clothes are washed, rinsed and three quarters dried. Hero comes a brief'' interrup tion. (Unfortunately science has not yet quite achieved its goal of abolishing work completely.) You must lay aside the book long enough to move the clean, almost-dry clothes about a yard in to the electric drier that stands beside the washer. If you've ben lazy or busy and let washing stack up on you, it may be necessary to let the ma chine change the water and toss in another ' batch of laundry. Otherwise just go back to the book. There's still ironing to be done. There isn't yet any machine that will Iron dad's shirts automatic ally. You run through the flat work on a cool electric ironcr that probably is built into the breakfast or utility table. For shirts, lingerie and such items, you use a featherweight iron that sprays onto the articles just enough steam to save your hav ing to sprinkle them. Milady can rest up from her arduous labors under a sun lamp that will preserve that lovely golden tan. More to Corns She will go lo bed under an ctcctricnlly-hented blanket, ther mostatically controlled to main tain any desired temperature. That probably will be all she'll need for warmth, no matter how many degrees below zero the air entering through a wide-open window may achieve. PRAISES VOLUNTEERS SAI.KM, Aug. 10 (UP) High praise for the contributions to the war effort by volunteer workers on the home front was given by Gov. Earl Snell today.

Restaurants May Get Supplemental Food Allotments To provide more! rationed foods for restaurants that have had a substantial incrcusc in business, tho OPA announced local boards have been authorized to grant supplemental food allotments to restaurants and other institution al users if the number of per sons served and the dollar reve nue during the current allotment period is 10 percent greater than during the preceding period. Formcnly, rc' aurants had. to show a 20 percent increase to ob tain .increased allotments.

Fdrm-erly, restaurants and oth er institutional users were al lowed ' supplemental . allotments of rationed foods, such as meat, butter and sugar, only if the number of persons served and the dollar revenue was more than 20 percent greater than during the preceding allotment! period, she said. The easing In requirements is expected to aid mony local res taurants faced with greatly in creased patronage, she added. 35 Miles an Hour Limit Will Hold PORTLAND, Aug. 16 (UP) Until the improvement of the tiro situation, it was predicted today the 35-inile-nn-hour speed limit on highways in Oregon will remain in effect State highway engineer R. M. Baldnck said the 35-niilc speed limit was of "no legul signifi cance, but one recognized by thrf people in a cooperative war time effort to conserve tires. The legal speed limit in Oregon is 55 miles an hour. Baldnck expresfrd the belief that Oregon would keep the war time 35 mile speed limit along its highway until the government lakes contrary action.

Frank lin Matthias, commanding officer of the Hunfoid, Wash., atomic bomb project, revealed today.

"On the contrary, atomic bombs still arc in production." Matthias, head of one of the three plants manufacturing the deadly weapon, told a joint Ki-wanis-Rotaiy club meeting Aug. 14 that production of the bomb will ciin'iiHw "until congress tells us to quit."
