It uses I4u-degree water, too hot for human hands. Then there is an electric range built like a knee-hole desk, so you'll have a place to shove the Kitchen stool. The third develonment is a re- frlgcrator with a completely automatic defroster. The searchers 'figured out that the average household refrigerator door is opened 60 times a day, In the new- refrigerator, a mechanical counter keeps track and JDn the 80th opening, the de frosting mecnanism Begins worn ing. It even disposes of the de frost water automatically. The Grange New York, Feb. 25 U.R) Somebody will have to think up a new name for housework in the next 50 years. If all the predic tions of electrical engineers come true, the house will still be there but the work will be gone. Thorp uHll hp no worry over the vegetables boiling dry or the eggs cooking too long, m a juic cast of the coming half century, one expert predicts electric ranges with temperature con Irols on the surface units. The hod nn the ton of the stOVe Will bo keyed to the food it's cook ing. If the water cons awny, th temnerature automatically drops to a point where the vege table! won t burn. Thd m-Avipws of electrical marvels come from officials of the Westinghouse Electric cor poration. Electronics, they pre dict, will influence the lives of ncnrlv everyone on earth. A 4....h atanlr PVPn will be inV Dossible. It will be electroni cally tenderized before it Is sold, Shopping To B Simpler One of these days we may have a combination washing machine and dryer that will soak, wash, rinse and dry clothes ail in a single cycle. You even may be dumping the soiled mnr-irm In B XlinerSOniC WSSher. Housewives may shop for fresh and pre-cooked foods only a few times a year. They'll be stored in refrigerators and freez ers, which will have special com partments for all kinds of food, so each can have its special tem perature and humidity condition. The electrical industry's fore casters predict that homes of the future may be lighted by "bottled sunlight." It will come from phosphor powders mixed into building material or into paint or wallpaper. At night, these phosphors would emit the light energy they absorbed dur ing the day. Houses may have automatic Indoor climate control. The en gineers says that the home of the future may have its own built-in transformer to provide power for that and for other household appliances. Nothing To Take Apart It looks as-though tomorrow's husband is going to be stuck when he gets the urge to take something apart. The electric motors for home equipment and appliances will be burnt-out proof. All the electrical gadgets will be foolproof. The only thing that has the visionaries puzzled is a simple substitute for ironing. Electrical Ironers have helped, but they want something that irons a h I r t automatically. They're dreaming of something like a sensitive, self-adjusting form over which a shirt could be drawn and steamed at the same time. Just to convince the skeptics that these things may not be too far in the future, the same com pany that's doing the forecast ing has announced three new ap pliances ready for the 1050 mar- MlracU Diihwathar Nj r'T v CVC.

Interest Husbands In Doing Housework Is Advice To Brides New York (U.R) Perhaps someone should change the mar riage ceremony so the man promises to love honor and do the dishes. Today's brides are being ad vised to start their brand-new husbands off with a dish towel and a dust cloth and keep them interested in helping with the housework. To see how the bridegrooms feels about this plan which was set forth in a current issue of a bride's magazine, couples apply ing for marriage licenses at the Municiple Building were inter viewed. Most of the husbands-to-be agreed that they would help their wives around tne nouse. Eight out of 10 said they'd wil lingly wipe dishes ana Clean house. In fact, their enthusiasm for the plan even surprised the girls they plan to marry, in some cases. Would Do Anything "1 11 be glad to do any cnores around the house," one bride groom-to-be said with a happy smile at his future wife. "I don t care if it's dishes or hanging cur tains, 1 11 help with anything 1 can. The girl gave him a startled look. "You will?" she said won- deringly. The only particular .jod any oi the future husbands really balk ed at was scrubbing or sweeping the floor. It might have been the picture of themselves with a broom or mop in their hands that apalled them. "Washing dishes and dusting are all right, but scrubbing floors is not a man's work," Mar tin Monkowitz said. Conditions Favorable Admittedly the young men were interviewed under unfair circumstances. They stood In the big. dingv marriage license bu reau, with their brides-to-be by their sides and brand new mar riage licenses In. their hands. . i M&w's slippers that pictun 11 "if-izZil io, -Hh ...

Buster Brown Shoe Store Some of them qualified their willingness to help with house work with the clause "only if my wife works." "If my wife works. I'll help," said Harry Bloom of Yonkers, N. Y. "But as soon as she quits her job she can do it all." The girls looked interested, patient and a little tolerant while their future husbands talked about housework. One whose li ance had just announced he could and would help with all kinds of chores, turned for a whispered last word as they left. "He really doesn't know a thing about housework," she whispered. Defends Men Another bride-to-be stood up for the men. ''A woman doesn want a houseman," she objected. "It's no good if you take advan tage of a man's good nature. While all this talk was going on, a clerk in the license bureau looked on with a patient smile. He figured it didn't make too much difference what a man said three days before he got mar ried. "These fellows say 'yes' now," said the clerk, an old married man himself. "But after a few months they'll be trving to get out of wiping dishes just like the rest of us." Prospect Protuecl.
