HOUSEHOLD TASKS
Devise Will Wash Clothes,

Chicago, Aug. 7 U.R Reali
zation of a housewive's dream
a combination clothes washer,
potato peeler and dish washer
with the addition of a butter
churn and ice cream freezer only
a step away was near today.
Unlike man's post war dreams,
this one will coma true by the
first of 1948, unless an unexpect
ed material shortage developes.
Edward N. Hurley, president
of the Hurley Machine Division
nf Electric Household utilities,
Chlca.no, is the man responsible
for the domestic miracle.
Th Thor Automatic Washer,
the "dream" will be called. It's
planned as a kitchen unit to be

operated daily as a dish washer
and potato peeler.
Washing Attachment
Then, on wash day, the house
wife need only install the clothes
washing attachment, light
enough to be lifted and attached
in less than a minute, Hurley
said.
One model will be equipped
with an automatic dial. The
housewife sets the dial and then
does her housework while the
new appliance washes, rinses
and dries the clothes.
Hurley said the machine uses
the spinner, agitator principle
He said this is more efficient
than the whirl method of pre
war wrinaerless washers.
As a dish washer, the Thor
needs only a new attachment
a metal plate for pots and pans
and a wire basket- with space
for a complete dinner service
for six.
Hot water rushes over the
dishes at a 33-mile-per-hour rate.
A continual stream of water is
necessary, Hurley said, as the
washer holds only two quarts of
water, used over and over again.
Food Scraps Ground
Hurley explained that the
once inescaname neaaacne oi
food scraps clogging a dish
washer drain has been solved by
using ingenious metal fingers,
which grind large particles of
food to powder.
As a result, only bones ana
potato peelings need be scraped
from plates Before iney are
placed In the washer.
The machine both washes and
dries dishes, operating on the
nmp sninner principle as the
clothes washer.
The third miracle, a potato
peeler, is another attachment
a small tub coated with abrasive.
The potatoes are spun rapidly,
so that the abrasive literally
skins the vegetable.
Hurley said both the prospec
tive butter churn and ice cream

freezer will fit into the machine
as do the other gadgets.
Paddle Beats Cream
A paddle in the butter churn
will beat the cream, using the
agitator motion.
A tub with an outer comparf
ment for ice and salt will freeze
ice cream, whipping up the
cream continually as it is frozen.
It Is Hurley's idea that the best
ice cream is frozen while in
motion.
As a kitchen unit, the auto-
magic weighs 200 pounds and
stands three feet high and two
feet square. It is portable and
easily moved about.
Hurley has been working on
this housewives' dream since
1940. He said the cost of the
device, with both clothes and
dish washing attachments, will
be less than the price of stand
ard prewar washing machines.

Siskiyou Soldier
Says British Wife
Soon Deserted Him
Yreka, Cal., Aug. 7 (U.R)
Married in England and assert
edly deserted by his British wife
before he left there, Homer E.
Gordon, of Mount Shasta, is tak
ing his troubles to California
courts for solution.
Local court officials are won
dering if this complicated case
of the Siskiyou county soldier is
the first of its kind in World
War II.
The divorce complaint, filed
by Gordon against Joan Gordon,
states that while stationed in
England with the army, he mar
ried the British girl at Surrey,
April 29, 1944.
Less than four months later,
Gordon charged, his wife desert
ed him "without explanation or
cause."
Gordon filed his action while
home for redeployment to the
Pacific. The couple have no chil
dren or community property.

Years ago, when marriage was
a hope rather than a reality, like
all girls I had my dreams of
what married life would be like.
A favorite vision was of a still
nebulous lord fondly kissing the
little woman good-bye each
morning before he left for work.
At that stage of my emotional
development, the tragic leave
taking had a higher rating than
the joyful evening reunion.
There was something so sweetly
sad in the thought that each day
we would be torn apart. The
historonic possibilities of such a
situation, I saw, were limitless
I pictured these touching scenes
very clearly' After having struck
a tragic pose of renunciation, I
would watch, through tear
dimmed eyes, my love depart to
do battle with the world. Thus,
he would remember me through
the long hours of our separation.
Also, by that time, competi
tion for his affection would be
over and done for. The wed
ding march would write Finis to
that! There would be only me.
At this point in my dreaming,
I am quite sure I smirked.
Well, my dream came true to
the extent that I did marry and
each morning my lord leaves for
work; and leaves in a welter of
emotion. But it is the farm ani
mals, not the little woman, which
do the emoting. Even if I had
time to dramatize our separa
tion, I have nothing to match
the frenzied heart-break of
Susan, the golden spaniel. Tied
in the woodshed until her idol
has thoroughly left, she aban
dons herself to grief. Susan is
not one of your silent sufferers.
She feels like howling and so.
7wlth a revolting' lack of re
straint, she howls.
Then the cow, seeing the man
go up the hill, moos in a minor
key and follows nis every step
with woeful eyes- His absence
will desolate her- Even her tail
expresses sadness. And a cow
with a sad tail is a cow with a
heartache. Then Jerry, the
horse, yearns across the fence;
and his whickerings are tremul- j
ous with feeling. In fact when j
the man takes off the air all over I
Hillside is fairly gummed up
with sighings, laments and men-;
tal suffering. j
And so it is the little dog, the
horse and the cow which re
ceive the master's lingering
looks of regret over the separa-j
tion. This isn't the way I had j
planned it in the long ago, but
that is how it is. Oh, well, what
wife has time to moon over a
man who will be gone only 10 :
hours or so. Besides, seems like I
a body gets little done, with a
man always under foot.
