Household Inventions<\/strong><\/p>\n

INSECT CONTROLLER
\nGetting into the crevices where insects breed and multiply may now be done efficiently with the equipment shown above and to the right. The special container full of insecticide is attached to the handle of a vacuum cleaner and the blower attachment then thoroughly spreads the insecticide.\u2014 Airway Electric Appliance Corp., Toledo, Ohio <\/span><\/p>\n

DUSTLESS FIREPLACE
\nDespite the very modern heating equipment of today, the open fireplace is still in vogue. Thus there remains the problem of ash removal. The illustration at the left shows a skeletonized fireplace which has a special ash trap and chute to the basement. Above is shown the trap. Instead of shoveling the ashes into a can and carrying them out, all that is necessary when this device is installed is to give the lever a pull and the ashes fall into the basement\u2014Fireplace Devices Co., 136 W. 83rd St., New York <\/p>\n

ELECTRIC IRON CABINET
\nTo be installed in the wall next to the folding ironing board or other convenient place, this cabinet prevents electric iron fires. The hot iron may be safely closed in the steel and asbestos cabinet. \u2014 The Cunningham Mfg. Co., Los Angeles, California <\/p>\n

NON-SLIP HANGER
\nA push on the triggers of this device causes the upper arms to fly up. When a button is pushed, the padded arms spring down on the garment.\u2014Kno-Fall Garment Hangers, Inc., 720 Madison Ave., New York <\/p>\n

SERVING SCOOP
\nLike the “cut-out” scoops used for ice cream at soda fountains, this new one of aluminum is sold in five and ten cent stores. It is useful for serving ice cream, rice, or mashed potatoes. \u2014Lorraine Metal Mfg. Co., New York <\/p>\n

BATHROOM DRESSER
\nA handy cabinet that takes only a few inches of floor space and offers a dresser top for toilet articles, an open shelf for towels, storage shelves for soaps, sponges, brushes, et cetera, and a ventilated compartment for soiled linen. It is made in several sizes to be set into or against the wall.\u2014El Paso Sash and Door Co., El Paso, Texas <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
