Predict Home of Future
To Be Almost 'Workless'
There's an automatic dish
washer that washes off food
waste, sudscs the dishes, rinses
them and finally does the dry
ing. 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-

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.

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."
