Resourcefulness of Women. Continued from Fifteenth Page increase for women's patents has been three times the rate of increase ents. Wamen are taking out more patents per annum. Up to the Civil War they averaged hardly a nually. Women are disproving the long-accepted notion that their sex is not mechanically crea- tive. Naturally, labor-saving contrivances for the home have claimed much of their atten- tion. In Washington there is a Government Bureau of Home Economics, staffed by women, which makes a business of developing new ideas that contribute to the comfort of the home. But there is no important branch of indus- try, of commerce or of science that is not rep- resented in the long list of women’s inventions. They have contributed important improvements 22 Long, narrow inlet, 25 Dog’s name. 26 Stutter, 27 Indite. 28 Account of goods sold. 55 Drink slowly. 56 Solemn promise. 57 Spread loosely. 60 Gone up. 62 Disfigure. 63 Withered. 64 Lake in New York 2 Surface. 3 Travelers by sea. 4 Superlative ending. ain, 12 Musical characters. 13 Fine driving icy particles. 21 Legume. to mowing machines, reapers, plows and other agricultural machinery. Their experience as trained nurses in hospitals has given them valuable ideas in relation to invalid chairs, bed-tables, sterilizing apparatus and surgical appliances. A women invented an improved hot-water heating system for houses; another, a telescope for exammning wrecks; another, an ap- paratus for sanding railroad tracks; another, a car wheel; another, a cinder-consuming de=- vice for locomotives; another, a life raft. A “pocket sewing machine,” which can be operated with one hand, owes its invention to Sally A. Rosenthal of Dubuque, Iowa. It is & practical contrivance and does very good sew= ing. In her application for a patent she wrote: “It may be utilized during pauses in conversae tion when women are chatting together.” But there are never any such pauses and demand for the device has been consequently lacking. Among the patents granted to women is one for a household furnace run with chemicals instead of ordinary fuel. Another is for a window sash that will not stick. Another for a portable balcony adjustable to any house. Another for a refrigerator with revolving shelves. And another for a rocking chair for the bald-headed man, which keeps the flies off his polished pate with a tasseled cloth that swings from above as he rocks. THE new beauty cult has given rise to very many inventions, and, where these are concerned, a great majority of the patents have, quite naturally, been granted to women. They run all the way from face masks (to be worn at night, of course) to contrivances for eradi- cating wrinkles and making artificial dimples, Credited to women are patents for a sofa that turns into a bathtub; a bathtub that is convertible into a traveling bag, and a dressing table which, pulled out from the wall, discloses the complete outfit of a bathroom, including tub and washstand. To the ingenuity of another woman bird from scratching in the garden. It carries two long prongs extending rearward in the shape of a fork. For the benefit of elderly and fat persons who find it difficult to get aboard a train, an Albany woman, Margaret E. Skerritt, has in- vented folding car steps.
