��THE slogan "Do it electrically!" has long since been echoed by the queens of the kitchen in the private homes of the cities as well as in the more modern farmhouses. But of all the electrical inven- tions to make the work of the kitchen light, perhaps none is useful in so many different ways as the one shown in the accompanying illustrations.

����simple, takes up little table space and consists of an electric motor mounted on a base plate together with two vertical rods carrying an arm which may be slid up and down to adjust it to the kitchen tool being used. This arm carries the driving shaft oper- ated by the electric motor through a uni- versal joint and is pro- vided with both hori- zontal and vertical end shafts for driving uten- sils which are turned respectively by hori- zontal or vertical shafts. This permits practically any utensil turned by a hand-crank or wheel to be success- fully operated by the device. The motor is of one-sixteenth horse- power and may be driven off the
