HOUSEHOLD INVENTIONS
(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, Oet. 10. A host of new devices at the animal inventions exhibition appears to be making housewives lot much easier. Sir Herbert Morgan at the opening said he feared that women kind wkrald eventually lose their natural skill and become mere automatons. The novelties include a wire attachment on a kettle lid which turns off the gas when the kettle boils; a. device which seals piecrust, and prevents the juice escaping: an . ever-shorp bread knife which makes no crumbs; and a teapot on the thermos principle; a folding telescope umbrella, which is able to be accommodated in a ladies handbag; a telephone attachment which it is claimed in the event of a subscriber’s absence, records the calling number and records a message.
