ELECTRIC HAND DRIER SUPPLANTS TOWELS.

Drying the hands by means of a current of warm air is a modern sanitary devica recently installed in a Washington office building. The electric hand drier is an upright cabinet about 3 feet high. An opening at the top, over which the hands may boheld, gives egress to a current of air blown from within, and controlled hy a lever operated by the foot. When the lever is depressed, the electric, current is switched on the blower, ami the air is forced through a heating coil, which brings it to a proper temperature. Thirty seconds is all tha time required for the drying procesi, and the cost per hundred pairs of hands is just one cent. This contrivance meets sanitary requirements anil threatens to supplant, if it does not abolish, both the roller towel and its paper substitute ,
