You can barely hear it

WHEN a proud owner of a

General Electric Refri gerator takes her friends in to see it, the first comment

is apt to be "Why it's so quiet -you can barely hear it."

The thing which seems to impress every-one is the ex- treme quietness with which these refrigerators operate. "Their unique construction has

indeed established 2 new standard for quiet operation.

This design, however, accom- plishes something even more. important. It makes possible the top-unit arrangement-a distinctive feature found only in the General Electric Refri gerator. Placing the unit on

top makes it possible to en- close "all the machinery together with a permanent supply of metal protecting oil -in an hermetically sealed steel casing. There the hid den machinery, always oiled, remains safe from dust and difficulties. No one can tinker

MAKE THE BEST OF SPAGHETTI.

It is surprising how few people know how to cook spaghetti. The Englishman's one acquaintance with the Pasta family seems to be the macaroni cheese, which he had at school and hated ever since. Yet, like most Italian families, it is a large one, and some of its members are well worth knowing..
