NEW HOME-MADE DEVICES FOR WASH DAY
DISCOVERED FOR HOUSEWIFE MAKE WORK EASY
Wire Grid With Handles at Each End Set in Bottom of Tub Prevents Burning and Serves as Drainer
When Lifted Out.
: I
" " ' ' i
BY SUSAN STERLING. -
SOME time ago, you remember. I
told you about my new clothes
reet the one that could be in
serted in a. socket In the back yard,
and how I needn't move out of my
tracks to hang up a huge washing.
I am still devoted to It, but I want to
tell you about a very clever device
I saw In the drying: yard of a friend
whom I visited this summer. She
stretched her ropes about the yard on
posts a,t the corners of the fence. Her
wash was heavy, or if, as she was do
ing" when I was there, she was wash
ing: rug's and the line sagged, she
used these clothes poles to hold up
the line. They were rather heavy,
made of tubing filled with some sort
of composition, and they fitted Into
sockets in the ground J list as my reel
does. She simply brought them out
and dropped them Into the sockets
and they stood as firmly as the Iron
posts to which she tied her line. There
were little covers for the sockets
when not in use to prevent the accu
mulation of dirt In them.
She had several other interesting
things in her laundry that were quite
new to me. One was a" clothes
drainer. Tou know what a job it is
to lift the clothes with the stick if
you boil them, and then hold them to
drain. This was simply a wire grid
with handles at each end. This set in,
the bottom of the boiler and prevent- i
ed the clothes from sticking on. as
sometimes happens with too hot a
fire. And when they were boiled the
device was lifted up out of the water
and bung in the boiler by the little
hooks on the sides of the handles,
where it hung till the clothes were
drained. If the wash isn't too heavy
it may be lifted out and carried to
the tub with very jittie dripping.
Then Instead of rolling her line up
into a ball when she took it in the
house, she wound it 6nto a reel so it
would be straight and kinkless when
she wanted it the next time. It was
called a clothes line stretcher. When
the clothes line was fastened to the
post, a turn of the handle of this reel
pulled it as tight as necessary. There
were cogs that held the wheel in
place so it wouldn't slip.
I have seen several devices to hold
the ironing board cover in place, but
I hadn't happened to see one like hers.
Mine consists of a spiral spring, at
each end of which is a sharp pointed
wire prong. The clamp is pulled out
and snapped in place, the prongs
catching the cloth and holding it
firmly in plave. Hers was simply
set of steel hooks. She Inserted these
in the cover along the sides, and
laced a cord back and forth around;
them. This drew the cover In from,
all sides, forming a smooth ironing
surface. The cover can be taken of
to be washed and put back in a.
minute.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallls. Nov 13. (Special)

trude McElfresh. who returned after

A Washing Machine
That Washes Without Wear
Th
Elect
ric a
Way
The Electric 3-Way Washing Machine does all the laborious part of
washing, handles all fabrics without the extra wear of the rubbing board,
handles heavy pieces that cannot be laundered by hand. And better
than all, it conserves the strength of the housewife.
The Electric 3-Way
Is Adjustable
K The washing arm may be used
to agitate the blueing and rins
ing waters, the wringer may be
used in any one of four positions
and may be operated forward
or backward. You can use two,
three or four tubs.
The Electric 3 -Way
Is Mechanically
Simple
There is nothing to get out of order, nothing to confuse, no upkeep
cost. At a touch a thorough, tireless laundress washes while you are
about other household tasks. And the cost of operation is so slight as
to be almost unnoticeable.
