and thanks to its saperlative qualities asa "Service" 
garment, it has proved a huge success. Officers 
who have tested its in* rits are recommending it to 
others in all quarters as a model of durability and 
perfect comfort in Military wear. 
The Gamage Summer Trencher 
is a SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION 
inasmuch as the fabric used in its construction is 
scientifically treated to ensure the maximum degree 
of rain resistance. Then too, it is cut and made on 
scientific principles. 
Its extreme lightness is another point in its favour.

Exlracl from report of tLditor of " Kit and Equipment " 
m " Land & Water " of July I 9tfi : — " The said watcli 
was taken, with full consent of the makers, fully wound 
up, and dropped into a tumbler, face upward : the 
tumbler was then filled up with water and stood away 
for the night ... In the morning it was forgolten, 
and that watch stayed at the txjttom of a tumbler of 
water for iust twenty-five hours — and when the water 
was poured off and the watch taken out, it was still 
keeping perfect time. As a matter of tact. It Is 
keeping perfect time yet. It is a real and valuable 
discovery for naval men, who want a watch that is not 
affected by damp and spray."

DOMESTIC ECONOMY 
[Continued from -page 52) 
will npt begrime the hands. That all the dust has been, 
collected there is shown by the changed colour, but it can 
be sifted through the fingers— for curiosity's sake— and not 
a trace of this will show. As a labour-saver it is simply im- 
mense, for, not only does it almost automatically clean a 
carpet and create no dust, but it prevents dust rising in the 
totoward way it frequently does. Dusting thus also, is a 
facilitated matter. 
It should be noted that " Dusmo " must not be sprinkled 
over the carpet, but— as already mentioned — laid in a thin 
line instead. Without doubt it is an improvement and a 
far more up-to-date version of the tea-leaves people frequently 
used. It can be bought in packets costing from sixpence, 
ninepence, half-a-crown and upwards. 
The Comfort of 
Beach Backs 
Many people now are wending their way 
to the seaside, and a little contrivance con- 
ducing much towards comfort may appeal 
to them. Everyone knows that long days on the beach without 
a support for the back are apt to become a tedious matter, 
while taking down a chair can be equally tedious. With a 
beach back it is a different thing altogether. Leaning against 
one of these small portable affairs hour after hour can be passed 
in utmost comfort and ease. It is made either in striped or 
in Green Willesden Canvas, and there is an adjustment at 
the back so that the back can be fitted to any angle best 
suiting its user. 
• . In spite of general increase this year, these backs have gone 
!vip but little — if at all — in price. In striped canvas they 
cost 4s. gd., 6s. 6d. being the cost of the green Willesden 
variety. A strip of canvas stretching on the ground for sitting 
on adds immensely to general comfort, all folding quite 
compactly and flat for transit. 
A Help !n the 
Kitchen 
A small matter, but one nevertheless 
which is getting its full share of atten- 
tion at the National Economy and Welfare 
Exhibition, is the " Handy " pot-scraper. This is the in- 
vention of a lady who had suffered from the usual inadequate 
methods of cleaning pots and pans, and determined, if possible^ 
to improve on them. She took the result to the people now 
selling it, they saw its possibilities, and it has spelt success 
for all concerned. 
It is a wooden contrivance, in shape like a many-fingered 
hand, and it is quite invaluable for cleaning all enamel warfe. 
Por one thing it does not chip the enamel like so many scrapers 
do ; for another, there are no small pieces to break off and get 
scattered amongst the food. One tribute to the "Handy" 
pot-scraper's success, is that many people buying one come 
back to get others, either for future use themselves, or to 
distribute amongst their friends. W'herever it goes it wins 
followers, and the old laborious methods of pot cleaning are 
relegated to limbo ! 
Being wood, it can very easily be washed and kept clean, 
and here, once more, is a strong point in its favour. The 
old wire type of brush was not only difficult to clean, but 
after a time became positively distasteful to use. Here, on 
the contrary, is a straightforward affair, one of the small 
things which mean out of all proportion results, while the 
price is a mere 4^d., postage being free. 
A War Worker's 
Bag 
Women doing munition or any other 
form of war work, may find a spe'jial 
lunch bag a convenience. Those on a 
well earned holiday will also welcome it, for it is made, not 
only to take a hght lunch — sandwiches and the like, — but 
is specially planned to hold a thermos flask as well. 
It will also hold books ; there is a pocket for a railway 
ticket, the size is ii^ by ii inches, and it is remarkably 
light and easy to carry. 
The leather and workmanship are too good to allow of its 
being sold at any ridiculously low price, but it is the sort of 
thing that will last for many years of use. P.-^sse-Partout
