EASY WAY TOffiBAH HOMES
Electrio Apparatus Makes Woman's
Work a Pleasure.
NOTICING THE IMPROVEMENTS
llonsekeeper nenlnrtlnK to Ilenllae
(hat They Mnt Kep Step with
the Modern rrogre of
tho World.
For the last 100 year th world ha
bean accepting all sorts ot labor saving
appnratua for men. But "machinery"
has never been considered a practical
thlrig for woman to have at her own dis
posal bo she has always been put off
with cranks to turn nnd new handles on
flatlrons and a choice ot a push or a
pull broom.
It has been such a habit for genius to
tutji all effort Into account for noisy,
smelly factory help that When the Ideal
household power was found It was for a
long time turned toward machinery and
soma women have not yet awakened to
the fact that electricity has ben turned
to tho homely tasks of washing and Iron
ing, sweeping and dusting, cooking, bread
mixing, stiver polishing and sewing.
The small per cent of the housekeeper
who go through the world with their
eyes open have a long and hard turn at
setting a good example before their sis
ters will follow suit.
It Is not that they are unwilling to taka
advantage of household helps, It Just
takes them so long to "take notice" of
actual Improvements.
Evoryont would realize that to turn a
button and get the hardest part of the
washing done Is better than to turn the
handlo or crank ' of an old-fashioned
washing machine. Everyone would real
Iro that to use a device which will take
up dirt from floors and dust and (terms
from walls, mattresses and decorations It
easier and more sanitary than the tw
operations Involved In the old broom an
dust cloth method.
The feeling which people have of wish
ing to get out Into tho open, that Is Into
seeing and doing things other than bak
ing and brewing urges women to adopt
the ways and mean whloh they kno,w
will cut down household drudgery.
Having finally awakned to the fast
that the means Is at hand for easier and
better housework than ever before women
are making a widespread adoption of
housekeeping methods which are the
equal or superior of the methods Used In
their husbands' Industrial plant. It
the ordinary thing to find In the base
ment of the home of tho lady who does
her own work a complete electrid laun
dry. It Is the ordinary thing to find In
the homo of the woman who does hr own
cooking an electric range and table cook
ing appliances. It Is the ordinary thing
to find In the home of the woman who
does her own cleaning an up-to-date
vacuum cleaner.
TO INTALL ELECTRIC AUTO
STAGE ACROSS ALPS TRIP
An eleotrlo automobile tair service
across the Air is being planned. The line
will run from Alrolo, by way of the
Nufned pars',. to Ulrl hen. a total length
of twenty-five miles. The electric auto
will carry twenty-two passenger and
make the trip lh about two hour.

Charged with Transgression.
HAD A HUBBARD AT CHICAGO
United Stnte Attorney Suggest
that Mr Jnlla Dlspenaa Do
Tried for Bigamy ami
Snppa Be Deported.
UnlUd Bute Attorney F. tf. Howell
ran into a snag in the preliminary, hear
ing of Thomas Suppa before Commis
sioner Dinlel, charged with violation of
the Mann act. Julia Dlspensa, the gtri
whom Suppa wa alleged to have brought
to thl city from Chicago, awore on hr
bath that sho did not marry Buppa In
thl city.
Thl fact alone would have been favor
ablo to the government In It case against
Suppa, but two clerks from the County
clerk' office produced a record showing
that the girl and Suppa Were married in
thl city. However, Julia said she did
not and when confronted with htr own
handwriting said she never wrote it. The
signature on the clerk's record book wa
Identical with that on the government
witness pay roll.
Both of the county clerks identified the
girl as the one who secured the license
with Suppa and swore that she wa mar
ried to the man.
The girl prior to marrying Suppa waa
married to a Chicago man. Howell, after
much questioning and arguing finally
asked the court to turn the girl ovr to
the state on a bigamy charge and turn
Suppa over to the immigration office for
deportation.
