strictness of the New York cops, the 
Connecticut official explained who he 
was and exhibited his badge, thinking, 
of course, that nothing more would be 
necessary to secure his release. It 
didn’t go with the cop, however, and 
that obdurate man haled his prisoners 
to the nearest police station, and there 
they were required to put up ;^ioo bail 
before being permitted to continue their 
journey. The next time these chiefs 
come to New York it will be in a trolley 
car or behind a high stepper—for no one 
ever thinks of getting after them for 
violating the speed laws. 
One result of the very decided in¬ 
crease in the amount of good roads work 
being done all over the country is the 
scarcity of contractors. Here is an op¬ 
portunity for men in this line to get 
steady work on a paying basis. The work 
of building improved roads is only in its 
infancy and each mile that is construct¬ 
ed makes it certain that many more 
miles will be built. The two important 
requisites in a contractor are knowledge 
and facilities. With these he can get all 
the work he wants. 
Swampscott, a resort just outside of 
Boston, which is a much more attractive 
place than its name would indicate, has a 
sensible chief of police. He has arrived 
at the conclusion that automobile traps 
are antiquated and practically useless. 
He will now try circulars. When an 
automobile is seen going at a speed that 
is thought to be greater than the law 
allows, its number will be taken. The 
automobile register will be consulted, 
and the next day the owner will receive a 
notice. Thus speaks the man who 
wants to have fewer violations of the 
law, not to encourage them and get his 
rake-off of graft. 
Dr. Heaton, the Missouri motorist 
who is touring through Europe with the 
determination of keeping his expenses 
under $3 per day, has broken all previ¬ 
ous records. He has got his expendi¬ 
tures down to ^2.59 per day, thus prov¬ 
ing that he really is from Missouri. 
This low water mark was reached in 
Switzerland, in a district that is consid¬ 
ered one of the most expensive in that 
country. In spite of this and the heavy 
mountain climbing, the expenses for 
two persons for the week ending June 
13 were: Hotels, $22.10; gasoline, ;^8.90 
We nowattach an electric motor to the famous 
1900 Washer. It operates the wringer, too. 
Connect it with a light fixture, as you connect 
a table lamp. Turn on the current as you turn 
on the light. 
The Washer then operates just like our hand 
washer, only you don’t need to touch it. 
When the washing is done, move a small lever, 
and the motor connects with the wringer. The 
Period lighting fixtures from classic to 
modern.

most complete line for your inspection.

one motor, operating both the washer and 
wringer, does every whit of the work. 
Please think what that means. The hardest 
drudgery there is about housework done by 
two cents’ worth of electricity. 
Servants happy; laundry bills saved; clothes 
lasting twice as long. For the ‘-1900” does wash¬ 
ing better than any other method known. 
Now electricity makes the washer go. Doesn’t 
that sound like a new era for women? 
Send No Money—We Pay Freight 
This outfit does just as we claim. Does 
all o f tlie \.'ashingr, all of the wringing. Does 
the work better than you can do it by hand. 
Does it with less wear on clothes. 
The facts, we know, seem too good to be 
true. So we propose this: 
If you are responsible, we will send you 
the Washer, Wringer and Motor, all on 30 
days’ trial. We will prepay the freight. 
You don’t invest a penny—don’t commit 
yourself at all. Do four washings with it. 
Try it on dainty things, heavy things.every- 
thing. Then, if you think that you can get 
along without it, we will take it back. 
Your ,30 days’ use will be free. 
You have no obligation whatever. Treat 
us just like a dealer who shows you a 
■washer. If you don’t want it when the 
month is up, simply say so.

But don’t go on washing in the old way 
without knowing what this method means to 
you. Women have no right to do such hard 
work when electricity can do it for them.

all about it. Then, if you’ll try it, just tell 
us to send it on.
