of the regular routine of housework The average American home employs various labor saving devices unknown 50 years ago and in 50 years more the present types of labor savers will be replaced by more satisfactory machines Most women ue a sewing machine in the sewing room in the kitchen a meat grinder a coffee grinder a bread mixer an gg heater and cream whipper and an ice cream freezer In i he laundry is a washing machine and perhaps an ironing machine and for the whole house there is the carpet swepper All of these machines replace hand labor to a great extent and give great satisfaction but they still require some manual labor to keep them in motion But the day is fast approaching when the great majority of these devices will he arranged to be driven by small electric motors instead of bv hand and these will he the machines that will be universally used by our children or grandchildren The first steps have already been taken in this direction and there are sewing machine and washing machine motors and a few others but the biggest advance has been the development of a single motor for a dozen or more different services This has just lx-eu accomplished by the Westinghouse Company in its General Utility Motor which is a small motor with a few simple and substantial attachments by means of which many different services may he performed such as driving the sewing machine
