MOVEMENT FOR
ELECTRIC HOMES
Bv Robert Harris Winn,
Contributing Editor of "Electrical
South."
i It is considerably less than one
year since the movement for electrical
homes was lie^un, and yet the movement
has swept clear across the country,
going fir,i:i city to city and finding
encouragement through addresses
before electrical dealers, contractors,
and real estate men, and through 1
articles in national publications and J
local newspapers. I
m M i Hit) 1 I! - !J *
most 01 mis pumicity worK was
done by men and from the dealers'
point of view. Of course the housewife
was manifestly to receive the
great benefit from the result of this
activity, but as yet she has not expressed
herself concerning this move-.
ment.
Tt mav not he considered necessary
for the housewife to make her views
of interests known, but it is interest-1
ing to learn just what some house- (
wives have accomplished through the
installation and constant use of a
limited number of household electric- ,
al appliances.
In other articles we have laid stress
upon the saving of women's energy
and time by the use of the
apnli.'Mices. toda" u,;ll coiv'der the
actual saving of dollars and cents.
On? woman, a?rain starting housekeeping
after throe years in hotels
and boarding houses, bought : n electric
sewing machine and saved by
making all her window curta'ns and
hemming and making hnr bed 'inens.

12 pairs of shets at .2r> . 3.00
12 nnivs of nil low cases at .25 . 3
12 dish towels at .10 .. 1.2^
Total $14,45
In one day sho made six kitten
aprons, a saving of one-hnlf of what
the roady-made ones would have cost
netted her $4.50. I,at<?r she made five
wash dresses and saved the dress mak
ev?' ?nst " ^ich was five dollars each,
another $25 saved. During the same
month another $27 was saved when
for the first time in three years she
made 12 gingham and linen suits for
her five-year-old son, 12 wash dresses
and 6 underskirts for her threeyear-old
daughter . The actual time
spent in accomplishing all of this sowing
was a little over five weeks. Only
two days were required to do the
many miles of stitching necessary to
make and finish the curtains and linens.
The actual dollars and cents
saved hv the use of this o'ectric sewing
machine was $70.75, the machine
COef ithan $70 on time payments.
Another woman deliberately "fired"
A hor cook, bought ar. electric range and
T f'truvod 1 hat sho saved at the very
loast $35.05 a month, as follows:
Wages of servant: $5 por week .$22.50
Board of servant: 00 meals at 10

Total $40.50
Electricity used, average each month
4.95
Dollars and cents actually saved $35.55
Dollars and cents actually saved in
the kitchen in one year $420.60
The electric range cost less than $200
ono time payments.
This same woman boucrht a washing
machine and saves: Washing and
ironing of clothes by servant, $2.50
per week $11.25
Towels, pillow cases, table napkins
formerly sent to laundry 2.1 G
Total $13.41
Co?t. '?f electricity for washing and

Dollars and cents actually saved ner
month $12.41
Dollars and cents actually saved in
the laundry in one year $148.92
The electric washing; machine cost
$145 on time payments.
Only one day each week is given to
laundry work. The above figures do
not inculde the savin# in washing the
blankets at home in the early spring.
This woman is only one of the hundreds
of modern women who are now
doing their own work through preference,
since they can "do it electrically."
She is not altogether a "home
body," she is a member of two social
clubs that meet every two weeks, prcs

in a church society as well as teacher '
in the Sunday school, is fond of read- ,
ing and a devoted mother, who care- ,
fully watches her children.
Some months ago a short talk on (
the practical use of electricity in the
home was given before a large group
of women, and it was urged that the
women use all of the elcctrical house
hold appliances which they might
have, experiment with them, and become
expert in using those applianes.
The result has been that several *
who had electric ranges,'had all other
means of cooking removed from their 1
kitchens, several got out all attachments
to their cleaners and sweepers, '
others took smaller appliances from
the shelves, dusted them and put them
t;> iii?e. Today those women are enthusiastic
boosters for electricity in
the home, and three have discharged
their servants. One spent some time
in locating a comfortable place for
I her old cook before she let her go.
I Not gradually but rapidly, housework
is being dignified. The follow- ;
ing paragraphs were taken from a rejCr.nt
isssue of the Pictorial Review
show the trend of the times:
i "If you go to a certain homo in one
of New York City's finest suburbs
you would find the cook and the maid

|graduates of one of the State's foremost
universities. Their present pox
'itions are not the result of a wager,
nor are they seeking atmosphere for
a book. They have chosen housework
as their vocation.
\: j r graduation they secured
positions as stenographers .' For
months they struggled along, trying
to make ends meet, never having any
i fun, never having a ront loft over to
i put in the hank, not even having
day they saw an advertisement for a
cook and a maid. They began to
figure how much the positions would
pay and found they could save nearly
all they would make. Upon investigation
they liked the place, took it. and
today they are perfectly happy. They
have all the comforts of a beautiful
home, separate bed-rooms and bath. 1
a living-room in which to entertain
their friends, the u.i=c of a library and
<1 minor car.
"Would wo go back? they asked.
Well, we should say not."
Is there any need for women to
fuss about inefficient servants, yet <
cry hard times and use it as an excuse
for ncft buying electrical appliances,
when she can actually save dollars
and cents, wear and tea)' of
'clothes, insure against loathsome disease,
and at the same time preserve
ther dignity and win the admiration of
others by doing her own work?doing

during May pointed to no

Considerable improvement financially.
was noted in Europe, but
trade and shipping were duil with
marked industrial difficulties apparent
in some countries. In the
Far East improvement in conditions
was reported slight and in South
America the ' situation was declared
practically unchanged but with a less
confident tone to future prospects.
Varying conditions in the cotton j
markets abroad were reported. Inquires
relative to American cotton
were reported to be increasing in
Belgium and a slight increase in imC

Stocks of American cotton at
Havre May 19 totaled 117,000 bales
were reported afloat. The cotton
market in Portugal was declared to
be understocked, while a notable decrease
in the stocks of cotton in
Great Britain was observed during
the month amounting to 95,000 baleas
compared with 190.000 bales on
hand at the same time last year.
In England during the month ;i
downward tendency in price wa
shown. A general strike in the cot
ton industry there is expected, the
port said, because of proposed wage
reductions.
Demand for cotton in China was reported
dull because of overstocked
markets, though there was a notable
increase in the imports of cotton mill
machinery, cotton spindles and cotton
yarn, while Chinese and Japanese investment
capital was going into cotton
mills.
Strike Causes Stagnation
While money is easier in Great
Britain, the coal strike has caused
a general stagnation of trade and in
dustry, the London report declared
The industrial situation probably has
never been worse, the report continued,
with more than 2,000,000 persons
idle and all industries not shut
down operating on part time.
The French government appears
satisfied with the success of the
$100,000,000 loan floated in the
United States, and feels it will permit
payment of debts previously con
tracted in this country, the Paris report
asserted. Evidence of a revival
iii Belgian industries affected by the
British coal strike, were reported
from Brussels, with an increase in
the imports of American foodstuffs
and cotton.
A decreased foreign trade, with an
acute industrial crisis resulting from
decreased prices, were regarded a^
the outstanding developments in
Italy during the month. Splendid
crop prospects, however, were reported.
The financial situation appears to
be improving in Germany, the Berlin
report declared, but the industrial
situation is being seriously hampered
by the Silesian trouble and consequent
coal shortage. Market activity
in establishng agencies in Austria
by English, East Indian and Japanese
interests was noted.
There were no signs of improvement

Revival of industrial activity in
China was offset by depressed commodity

nancial situation was better. <
Except for improvement in the government
finances, economic conditions i
in Mexico were reported practically
unchanged.
Argentine financial conditions were
reported as about the same, but with
a decrease in commercial failures.
Imports from Great Britain, except
textiles, were observed to be decreasing,
and German competition was reported
keener.
Little change in the commercial situation
in Brazil was noted. The Rel
gian economic mission was said to be
actively promoting trade relations
with Brazil, while Germany was making
every effort to regain its former
position, being favored by its liberal
credit terms and low exchange rate.
The financial position of the
Chinese Government was reported as
still critical, and continued unsettled
economic conditions in Peru were
shown.

Ferrara, Italy, a building constructed
as a place of safety in
times of revolt, touches a note of
paradox and throws the searchlight
of tworld news for ti brief moment
on a city once famous but
recently neglected, says a bulletin
iss\ied by the National Geographic
Society.
In location Ferrara is the Nev.Orleans
of Italy, continues the
bulletin. It grew up from an unknown
beginning in the flat,
marshy delta of the river Po on the
bonks of that great stream, which
like the Mississippi sometimes
capriciously cha-nges its course ove;night.
For centuries the Ferrarese
had to carry on a continual struggle

spirit and with the assistance ofj]

Ferrara not (only protected the city
but reclaimed from the sip-round i

hundreds of square miles of agri-* \
cultural land. The town which j
the} secured agamrt the threats o (

Peri arese took the almost unparalleled
expedient in 120K of
voluntarily : urrende ing tbeir libel t'.es
to the House oi' LOste which was
given the pen ancnt lordship of the
city. From tl:at t: : the history of
Ferrara is the history of E^te?a
nuvgnifieent, brilliant tyiar.ny; a
people bowed down by taxation, but I
with the comfort that while Italy J
seethed with wars it was for a long
time an island of peace with a culture
that was the pattern and envy
of Europe.
When the awakening came from
the mental sloth of the Dark ages,
Ferrara was in the van and became
known as "the typical city of the
Renaissance." About the court of
Este thronged some of the leading
poets, artists and humanitarians ot
I the age. In the city was first rcsuvrested
the drama, dead since the
days of a strong, wealthy Rome
Ferrara earned the title of "the new
Athens,' and "the most cultured and
polite city in Europe."
As one ef its crowning* aclvevo
mcnts the Esto court 'produced t1
famous Isabella d'Este, who wit
beauty, charm, culture, a keen mim'
better stocked than
the time, and an artistic and critical
ability than unsurpassed, came
to he spoken of as "the first lady of
tho world."
The massive Este castle which
stands in Fcrrdra today with its
four heavy towers and surrounded
by its deep moat, is an epitome in
stone and brick of power of the
Marquises and Dukes of Este. And
about it hang* thickly the traditions
of the triumphs, intrigues romances

Ferrara's fall from its high estate

House of Este died out in 1597 and
the city became a provincial holding
among the Papal states. 13y
