Is there no hope for tho вед thin American man? Tay. Behind the doors of the great electrical combines today they are working on such aston- Ishing gadgets ns:-
A MACHINE which, at the press of a button, will turn out as many paper cupa, saucers, and plates as you want, (After- wards you can throw them in the dustbin.)
A CUPBOARD in which you
will hang your clothes so that ultrasonie rays can be passed through them--removing every particle of dirt.
A VACUUM CLEANER which will crawl out into a room, suck the dust from every inch of carpel and every plece of furnl- ture in sight, then withdraw into hiding again.
The women think it is for then that the men are doing this. I don't.
I believe this is a brilliant move by the husbands towards the day when they will no longer have any housework to do.
The day when they will have their hands free to strike a blow for equailty in the home and eventually in the office.
