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.

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.
The relaxed provision, effective
August 16, is contained in an
amendment to tho present insti
tutional rationing order, Mis.
Murjorio Leo, OPA food ration
ing representative, explained.
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.

Atom Bombs Ready
SPOKANE, Aug. 10 (UP)
America held more atomic bombs
in readiness in case Japan re
fused to surrender, Col. Frank
lin Matthias, commanding officer
of the Hunfoid, Wash., atomic
bomb project, revealed today.
"We think Japan's stalling
over the allied surrender . was
caused by suspicions the two
bombs dropped upon Nippon were
the only ones in exislcncc," he
said.
"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."
