sanitary way of washing dishes: J

of enamel or tin for dlshpan, and

filled with very hot water and q
little borax. The only soap used
ZONES from agitating a shaker S"
hat small pieces of soap are in this
way used up. The dishes remain in
the water until i finish everything
else in the dining room; then l turn
out the water, fill with clean hot wa,
ter and wash, rinsing each dish III
clear boiling water. They are all
placed in a dish drainer and are
dry, ready to put away, in a lew
moments, without wiping, which l.
far more clearly and saves much
inc. Knives and forks are the
only things wiped. 1t also saves
disi. towels, as there is little or nc
wear and tear upon them in this
way. The few minutes they lie
soaking IL the water make the
washing simple and they shine "''
diamonds" when dry.

PASADENA, March 16.-So swift
was the flood in the Arroyo Seco at
South Pasadena this afternoon that
one of the big cement abutments of
the bridge of the Pacific Electric long
line bridge was seriously weakened,
and that line was abandoned soon after
2 O'Clock. The water is rushing under

dry ground. The dangerous situation
was not noticed until about noon to-
day, when the earth loosened about
the abutment. ":

amounts to nearly three inches.
The entire amount for the season for
Pasadena is now close to 23 inches.
At Esperanza, near where the rain

fall is over 26 inches.
Comparatively little damage has
been done to streets or property, al
though West Lake street and Elmira
