She holds these truths to be self-evident. That all beings are created troub- 1 lous. That they are endowed by their creator with certain everlasting wants. That to satisfy these wants homes are instituted among tnem xounaing tneir hopes and deriving their bcnoflts from the woman at home. To continue these ever-Increasing tasks by the old methods Is foolish and without reason, to proVo which let facts be sub mitted to a candid world. Cleaning by the old method stirs up dust and germs. A vacuum cleaner takes dirt, dust and germs, and when It has been used there Is nothing else to be done.. Cooking on tho old stoves Is a long, hot, smoky process. Cooking on the tablo with electric appliances Is caslor and even an electric range mrfkes no dirt or heat. Sewing by pedaling the feet up and down all tho tlmo Is slow work and hard. vAn electric motor docs all the work of sewing and docs It quick. To Iron by a stove takes nearly all day i and Is a hot Job and makes a great deal i of work. An electric Iron Is cool and 1 quick. ITo wash by rubbing up and down on a board .or by turning a crank is a health ,broaklng process. An electric washing macmno will ao an me worn ana ira washing Is soon done. When anyone Is sick to keep a water bottle hot and not too hot takes up all my time. An clectrlo heating pad re mains Just right. The old-fashioned lighting which is the cause of matches and smoke all over the house makes poor light and makes very warm evenings. Electric light Is a very good light and makes no dirt to clean up. And so, considering all the Improve-' ments which have been made for my benefit, I will accept them and be thank ful for them. Wood Economically Sawed With a Motor This portable electric equipment is owned by a wood dealer who receives his wood In railway cars and delivers It by cart in small Jots. A portion of the carload which Is shipped in long lengths is cut up as unloaded and plied Into the cart for Immediate delivery to his cus tomers. The saw and motor occupy a apace 3x6 feet The motor is direct connected to the saw so there is no waste power. It Is stated that the machine will saw a cord of wood four pieces to tho stick using one kilowatt-hour of electricity Current Is supplied to the motor through a cable which Is connected with the near est outlet point on tho electric service lines. Fifteen to twenty cents worth of cur rent will saw a cord of wood. Electrical Notes.

The merchants of Chattanooga have raised pi.000 for the building ot a "Great White Way" half a mile In length. The French State railway Is rapidly being electrified. Orders for 100 electric locomotives have been placed. The French language Is more easily understood over the telephone than the English language, providing you under stand French. The smallest commercial electric motor weighs less than two pounds. It is used where a little power In required, such as for dental drills. The world's largest electro-magnet Is being built in Paris at a cost ot KO.OOO. The magnet will be placed at the disposal of all scientists for experimental pur poses. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Big Returns. Traveling Has Its Charms When Minns Any Dead Weight .! "Without encumbrance" is growing to be tho watchward of all pleasure "trip pers" worthy the name. A very small bag now contains all tho necessities for a several days' trip. A two-week water trip was actually made by two girls this summer with ono shirtwaist apiece (the ones they wore) and a halt doscn hamlerchtefs as a sort of luxury. " The soft shirtwaist of the last few summers Is so especially suitable for easy laundering that the bag contained only necessary toilet articles and a laun dry outfit In the shape of a lightweight electrlo traveler's Iron. All washing was done in the wash bowl nt night and all necessary Ironing was donei on the bed with tho matress to make a firm foundation. "Traveling has charms," they say, "when no dead weights depress." IW00LW0RTH CHIMES ARE RUNG BY ELECTRICITY Among the many unique and pleasing features which mnke the Woolworth building more than a massive pile of architecture with a claim to Interest only on account of Its sheer site are tho eloc trlcnlly operated bells and chimes found In tho "rathskeller" of tho building. The temple bell outfit consists of twenty re sonator bells ranging In chromaUo In tervals from low C to high a. The bells are mounted upon felt-covered oak disks, and each bl Is fitted with a resonator which Is bolted to the supporting tramo ot tho bell. Upon tho same wooden disk with each bell Is mounted a direct-current magnet. The wires from the mag nets are led through the piano keyboard, beneath which are arranged a number of contacts. WOMAN TURNS ELECTRIC CAR INTO MONEY MAKER A woman living at an eastern summer resort recently underwent financial re versos which threatened to deprive her of her clectrlo automobile, but rather than sacrifice tho car at a small price she determined to convert It Into a rev enue producer. She had tastoly folders printed announcing that her car was for hire for shopping trips and distributed them at tho local hotels. "My private electric car Is at your ser vice," read tho announcement, "for a morning's shopping to tho exclusive shops, for a rldo out of town, for church going, for an outing for convalescents, for trips to the theater, for luncheons, etc." 'This electrlo car." continued the folder, "Is Ideal for the elite and refined, because It is safe, quiet, clean, comfort able), conservative, luxurious and com modious." The car seats four persons comfortably, Including tho driver, who is usually the woman owner herself. The rate. Is 13.60 per hour, with a slightly lower price per hour If tho car is hired by tho day or half day. Electrically operated chimes In rath skellor of Woolworth building. l'nlil In Advance.

Irish patriotism In America and what the Irish havo done for freo government was the theme with which Arthur Mullen entertained the members of the Emmet society yesterday evening at the old Country club grounds on the Fort Crook road. It was a fine large day and tho crowd began to alight from the Inter urban cars shortly after noon. Every, body was there from the two Omahaa everybody, that is, who was of the proper stripe ot patriotism. The test was ap plied by Dr, William J. Lenry, John Cof fee and John Ilooney. Dancing was the order of the after noon. There was an orchestra that played music all the time for the pretty colleens and their light-footed partners. None of your skimpy up-and-down-tho-floor tunes and then a long rest; but good, old-fash toned airs played over and over again by real music lovers, who appeared to find as muoh pleasure jn the playing as the dancers did In the tripping. And what dancers were there, tool Big Joe Butler, the ''Inspecthor," without his skull cap, to be sure but just as solemn and ponderous. And Joe led the quad rille In an honest, energetic way, with as much care for comfortable old mothers as for the merry-eyed lassies who held hands with him. And tho politicians! They were there with their fine Irish heartiness for the boys and soft talk for the women and chllder, putting the "comedther" one old member called It. And some of them who are not politicians, but who nonetheless got tho "cead Mllle Faltte" from every group. Assistant City Attorney TePoel, whose Frenchy name belles his Celtla eye, Just ambled around among the boys who were there with the glad hand. And as for the girls well TePoel Is a prise bachelor with a future. Mullen Hushes 'Em. So It went, a dance and a visit between dances until the games began, the races and the broad Jumps and all that. Not many took part in the athletics because of the heat But Arthur Mullen came along Just then, tall and dtgnlfed, and with the striking black hair that almost made you think ot Itobert Emmet himself, and everybody got hushed and quiet, waiting for the speaker to begin. It Just seemed as If he were going to say "My lords," etc., Emmet's speech, you know hut he did not; be told about the work ot the Irish In favor of republican government and their work in America especially. Everybody listened and applauded, whlfe the crowd kept getting thicker as the evening cars began to arrive. And then the band men began to tootle their horcs and "thry" their violins and tho boys selected their partners. Am then the lights glowed and the tnuslo struck up and there was no mora room for the reporters. It was a fine large dt.y, even It It was hot and dusty elsewhere Turners Don n to Work. Today will mark the real work ot the Turners' convention in South Omaha, Yesterday concluded the athletic exercises when the boys and girls ot the asao-clit-tlon contested In callsthenlo drill at 6chllt't hall, Twentieth and Q streets.
