wooden cover or a galvanized wire basket to fit a tub would be a great 

 convenience if one did not wish to empty the water in other tub or to lift 

 it off the bench. This would make it possible to wring the white 

 clothes out of the bluing water and still have others in first tub. A 

 rubber plug in each of the tubs, such as are in the porcelain stationary- 

 tubs, allows the water to be easily removed. A 2-inch galvanized pipe 

 with two elbows and a wire hook fastening over the side of the tub to 

 hold the pipe in place, carries the water from the tub to the bell trap 

 under the pump stand. The second elbow turns the waste water down 

 into the trap. 



CLOTH E3 PRA/NER. 



There often come days when the clothes can not be dried out-of- 

 doors. Often they are hung aroimd the kitchen stove where they are 

 usually very much in the w^ay, and often get soiled. A dryer made 

 similar to a large wheel and hung by small ropes over pulleys on the 

 ceiling makes it possible to dry the clothes in the laundry room. The 

 object of the pulleys is to let the rack down within easy reach and then 

 pull it up to the ceiling. This gives the clothes the advantage of the 

 warm air at the top of the room and also gets them out of the way 

 as much as possible. The diying rack will not be large enough to dry 

 an entire washing at once, but as the clothes will dry quickly, the rack 

 will be a great improvement over wet clothes or drying around the 

 kitchen stove. 



Experienced housekeepers will find variations of these plans to 

 suit their needs. Stationary galvanized or stoneware tubs would cost 

 about twice as much as the galvanized tubs with stoppers and drain 

 pipe, but would be more satisfactory.
