Chandler, Auctioneer Public Auction Servioa Co* Op& Word of the development of an entirely automatic clothes dryer that will eliminate "blue .Mondays" in the postwar laundry through ta tumbling or "flufFing" process that literally brings the warmth of the sun and the gentle action of bre£xes indoors, was received here today by the Carey Electric Shop. This new dryer, which makes it unnecessary to iron some pieces will eliminate clothesline and pins from the postwar laundry and will make even the ° stormiest day good drying weather, Mr. Carey said ne has been advised by the Westinghobse Laundry Equipment department, who will make and market the dryer nationally after the war. Carey Electric Shop will sell this and other Westinghouse appliances when they are again available. The automatic dryer will become the companion piece of the Laundromat, th$ automatic washing machine developed by Westinghouse just be? fore the war. Identical in shape and size, it contains a large, perforated metal basket in which damp clothes are placed. The basket is rotated at slow speed while a. flan circulates heated air that carries away the moisture. Shuts Off Automatically "While one batch of clothes is being washed, the previous batch can be dried," explained Mr. Carey, "for the dryer performs its complete cycle in approximately the same time as does the Laundromat. "The whole operation is automatic," he continued, "and the dryer even knows when the clothes are dry and turns off the heaters. 'At the discretion <*f the homemaker, I am told, the dryer can be stopped manually so that articles that would ordinarily have to be sprinkled may be removed when damp for ironing, thereby dispensing with dampening separately. Otherwise, the dryer can be left on the automatic setting until the clothes are drv," the local merchant explained, adding: "As soon as she's put the clothes in the dryer, the housewife can forget about them. A thermostat--the same type of temperature detector that turns your furnace on and off-- turns off the heaters when the clothes are dry. Whefr the moisture has Dry Cliwnlngin Home Clothing specialists lor the agri* cultural extension services advise homemakers to heed Unit warning of USDA safety and .health advisers that many persons toft been fatally burned or disfigured while cleaning garments at home. The best answer on how to dry clean is "don't" ---unless you are very cautious. Garments may still be dry cleaned more efficiently and safely by dry cleaning establishments. However, those who still feel thfey can do this work successfully at home should use only a non-flammable fluid. There are many good non-flammable cleaning fluids on the market -- but remember that cleaning fluid may be marked "non-explosive" and still be flammable. Never, under any circumstances, use'gasoline, naphtha, or kerosene for garihent cleaning purposes. Keep the hands out of the fluid by using a suction washer especially if the skin is sensitive. Do the cleaning outside of the house where all toxic and other vapors will be carried off in the open air. Dry garments outdoors. Keep children afid pets away. Many homemakers have discovered that they can wash successfully many garments formerly sent out for dry cleaning. Use mild soapsuds and lukewarm water for both washing and rinsing. Squeeze instead of rubbing and wringing. Roll in a thick bath towel to remove excess moisture rapidly.

"Clothes hung, on a line or rack dry wittf wrinkles in them, whereas: clothes tumbled in the machine dry to a large extent wrinkle free. Such flat pieces as bath towels, face towels and even some sheets and pillow cases gain a fluffiness preferred by | many housewives over the harder , finish resulting from ironing, Westinghouse reports. This process not only saves labor, but fcr some pieces, | is actually a better method of dry- I jing. I | Eliminates Weight Lifting j | "In addition, use of a clothes dryer, will improve the appearance of strict- 1 ly 4Vsidential communities by eliminating the often unsightly clothesline. But what is even more important," Mr. Carey observed, "it will do away with the housewife's weekly washday weight-lifting rouj tirfe." ) "Few people realise," the local | merchant said, "that lifting a weight above the waist, as one must do when hanging clothes on a line, is i one of the most fatiguing of motions. Wet laundry weighs almost I twice as much as does di-v laundry, | and with a clothes dryer, ne pointed out, the housewife can eliminate this ; overhead weight lifting and save the i effort of carrying clothes to the yard and taking them down when dry. "I'll wager almost every houseswife has had the disheartening exi perience of getting her clothes all hung on the line only to have a sudden Bhower start. So she's had to take down the clothes and put them up again when the rain stopped. "Because -the dryer is especially useful to all housewives regardless of locality," Mr. Carey continued, "Westnghouse plans to make this appliance an important part of their postwar appliance program. They will go into mass production for national distribution of both the automatic clothes dryer and the Laundromat just as soon as facilities and materials are available."

'y ^ j Rose Oil Essential oils may be defined as those having an odor and are obtained almost exclusively from vege- | table sources. Such an oil is "attar" | or "otto" of roses commonly called i rose oil., For many years the pro- \ duction of rose oil has been a ; European industry. Formerly used 1 on a small scale in medicine, it now j is used almost entirely as a base for perfumes and cosmetics. The • species of roses which have been, 1 used for years for attar production I in Europe are Rosa damascena (the < Damask rose) and Rosa centifolia (the Cabbage rose). Such garden i roses as Talisman, Condesa de Ses- ' tago, Briarcliff, Radiance, Aroma, I Etoille de Hollande, Ami Quinard, and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria have been tested. All of these produce about the same amount of oil, but the yield is about two-thirds of that from the Cabbage rose and the odor is decidedly different. This lesser yield involves more labor, which would be a serious obstacle in commercial production. Tire lite Here's a way to lengthen the lift of the tires on your car, tractor and truck and avoid annoying roadside flats. Inflate your tires to the right pressure. Then at the next checking, which should be no more than a week later, note and write down the pressure of each tire either by gauge reading or by the number of pump pulsations required to bring each tire back to the original pressure. Any tire which has lost rtiore than three pounds more air than its running mates can be suspected of a puncture. It should be dismounted and inspected and the tube tested for leaks. Careful checking and comparisons with tire pressures can prevent 90 per cent of all road flats. And since many tires and tubes do not go flat for days or even weeks after a puncture is made, following the comparative air loss system enables you to mend damages before it's too late.

Strained orange juice contains only from a half to three-fourths the amount of vitamin C contained in the segments, so it is the most extrAvagant way to use oranges.

Many other refinement? must be included to render gunfire accurate on a rolling and pitching base. These gyro instruments serve also to control many items of equipment aboard, so that parts or elements always are vertical or horizontal, as the case may require. Such stabilisation makes the firing of guns possible at any position in the roll of tiie ship, and greatly increased fire power as vd as -aecuraey of Are.
