Slight Interest In x Primary Elections Apathy Generally Prevalent In State Indianapolis, May 7.—(UP)— hpnndred would-be mayor* wound up -their eleventh hour campaign oratory today trying to drum up interest in tomorrow’s 'primary elections. " • - Thor talked municipal Improvements, handed out cards and pine, pointed to * their ; records, insinu* a ted not everyone Is an honorable man, and rang doorbells, t Bht most voters weren't respending. ,\ Politicians in city after city t eported interest lagging I among practically all groups except thoad who had their names on the bal lots, and a light turnout of voters was freely predicted. Mayoralty primaries will be held in 8(7 of Indiana’s 103 cities. Forty-eeven cities will have mayor races on both tickets, and 33 cities on only one. j The pre-primary apathy was attacked by several come-ons. At LaPorte, a candidate > tor mayor effered baby-sitting service while mothers went to the polls, and Alexandria officials rolled out voting machines to replace paper ballots previously used. o Kokomo municipal candidates trudged , from door to door—the "beating the bushes” routinewhile four mayoralty factions in Indianapolis joined, forces to allow' voters a first-hand comparison. Only about 275 ballot wlelders . showed up. ! < Sullivan officials printed 4,000 ballots but could only hope they all would be used. The city’s incumbent mayor was nominated four years ago in a party primary which attracted only 238 and it was expected that anyone mustering 400 votes this yea? would be a nominee. Peru . observers termed light absentee voting an indication the primary would be drab-even though there were 13 persons in the running to.tcarry their party’s banner into the November electijmn.

Seated Efficiency Sit-down ironing has been reccommended to thj housewife ever since efficiency experts began applying to rules learned in industry forjg saving {effort, fatigue, and timaf Why, then, do 'most women to stand while they iron yet report that [ironing is one Os their most tiring jobs because of || long hours of standing? _tf The answer probably is that most ironing equipment in the home is got suited to sitdown Work. homes have folding ironing boards with crisscross supports which lack apace underneath, for tke knees of the seated worker.

Most women voted for an adjustable board which could be.. raised or lowered to suit different workers! hhd both start up and sit-down ironing. Most preferred ? board/! 58 inches long and 14 inches wide with _a tapering end. The most satisfactory ironing board is a bullt-ifi, fold-up wall board with only one Planting support, allowing ample knee room. The other Satisfactory board Is a folding portable board which had a straight ”lek” under its wide end and a second leg slanting out toward the tapered end of the board, supported by a brace. Commercially made sit-down ironing boards have been for sale in‘recent years. • , Though tne adjustable office chair on/castors proved ideal for ironing, it would be expensive for many families. A p4ain kitchen and dining room chair could be remodeled Ironing by cutting down legs to a convenient height for the worker, padding seat and back for support and comfort, and adding castors. - ' As for the iron, the tests showed that- the newer lightweight irons (about 3 to 3< pounds were best for seated ironing. They also showed the advantage, of a low handle, easy to hold, a tapered end to fit. into; gathers, a beveled or slanting; edge to go around buttons and other fastening. v An iron with a large told Plate had the advantage bf covering a larger area, thus saving time and motions.
