THURSDAY, AUG. 9, is — i ; Marvelous Gadgets Galore | . Shi Await Only Coming of Peace

By FREDERICK C, OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.— The time has come (I don't want to get scooped, do 1?) to dream about the coming peace insofar as it.gconcerns fountain pens that don Breed ink; beautiful legs and houses that dust themselves.

After the Japs cry “uncle”

Americans will begin to get not only _ things they've forgotten, but devices they never thought about. For instance: In Chicago today—and I'm not trying to be funny—engineers of one of the big electric manufacturing companies are rushing into production a combination dish rinser, bread mixer, ice cream maker, potato peeler and clothes washer. It'll also crack nuts, whip eggs and shake up sidecar cocktails. 80 this is a list of those that will

be available after the conclusion!

of peace; the dope comes from government officials, excited manufacturers, and my own goggleeyes. : Nylons to Return Nylon hcsiery will begin to decorate the legs of the ladies in a matter of weeks after the war is ended; elastic that stretches will tefurn to garters. There'll be plenty of ‘gasoline; enough .tires for everybody, Radios will come up at once with frequency modulation; as will phonographs that have no needle scratch. A half dozen electric companies will have for sale a gadget (for about $300) that sucks the air in a house, removes dirt from same, and returns it so clean the dust rag will be no nore. - Air conditioners are ready to warm the house in winter and cool it in summer at about 8750 each.

There'll be plastic window screens that can't rust. Or maybe you won't want ‘em at all, because DDT, |the death-to-bugs juice, ‘also is available. On tap are plastic pipes that swell instead of burst when the water freezes. 1 saw the tablecloth of aluminum thread that may. be cleaned with the garden hose; I also saw the foil wrappers that will keep oranges fresh for six months on the shelf. Bolts and nuts that won't shake {from lawnmowers, sewing machines and baby scooters are here. So is the magnesium wheelbarrow that weighs little more than feather pillow,

New Paint and Rugs

There's house paint that won't get chalky and wash off in the rain; rugs no cigaret can burn;

{wallpaper that may be scrubbed

| with soap and water. Then there's soap that isn’t really; the experts call it a deter- | gent. III clean your neck without leaving a ring in the tub. The fountain pen that needs a refill once in two years and writes under water (in case youre a mermaid) is being made in South | America now; an American manu- | facturer who calls it a writing miracle will start producing it on the happy day. a | Wool socks that won't shrink are i in the works; pants that hold their | crease indefinitely are promised by a St. Louis chemical company. It |doesn’t make the. pants; just the stuff in which they're soaked. | All these things and more (including lower taxes, maybe) will arrive after the peace. In peace, it'll be wonderful, al- | most as soon as the Japs throw | in the sponge. (Your new synthetic sponge, incidentally, will last the | rest of your life.)
