AROUND THE HOUSE
LATEST IDEA IN EMPLOYMENT
OF DOMESTIC HELP.
Having Servant In for Half the Day
Does Away with Necessity for
Providing Room Where Space
In Home is Small.

Some housekeepers are now trying
the plan OF employing domestic help
for only part of a day, without going
to the expense of having to provide
an extra room for permanent maid.
One family engaged a helper for the
four morning hours, from eight to IL,
for four dollars week. During that
time she swept, busted, washed all
the dishes, those left from dinner Of
the day before as well as the break.
fast china; prepared vegetables. made
beds, accomplished great deal OF
ironing. OF course, all this was not
done in one morning. The work for
each day was planned beforehand.
For less than this one would imagine
good service could be had, but when
one considers that space and furni-
ture are saved and no meals given,
this kind of servant is in reality
cheaper than regular general" In
a small family fiat does not always
furnish enough work for the whole
time of a maid, and nothing Is more
,trying for maid and mistress than for
the former to have idle hands in SC
small space. Restlessness and dis.
content are sure to arise, while the
housekeeper cannot conscientiously
enjoy doing little cooking or house
work on her own account lest she
take away the excuse that keeps her
servant. 1t would he more satisfac-
tory in such case to dismiss the
general" for an hourly worker II 1t

ment. Many housewife pays good
wages to an Indifferent maid.

lar about fitting the edges closely. An

of the former and one-half pint of the
latter are dissolved in bottle. AS
1t will take some time to accomplish
this, the bottle should be placed in
the sun and shaken daily. The liquid
should then be strained through a
fine cloth. The glass to be mended
must be we'll washed in hot suds, well

Two General Types in Use.

There are, however, but two general
types that are in extended commercial
use today. These are the pneumatic
or compressed gas mechanism, and
the all-electric mechanism. In the for.
Iner, the signal is moved by a piston
working in cylinder, and in the lat
ter the motive power is furnished
by small electric motor.
The supply of gas to the piston and
cylinder, or the supply of current to
the electric motor, is controlled by
small magnet called a relay" This
relay is included in a circuit formed
by the rails of block. When the
block is i'll safe condition for train
to enter, the mechanism holds the
signal in position to indicate clear
track but if there is train in the
block the wheels and aXleS of the
train so affect the electric circuit Of
the relay as to cause it to influence
the operating mechanism to move the
signal to the position indicating line
blocked"
Since this relay circuit runs through
the rails of the track, and is led
over all switches that may be in the
block, it is evident that should any
thing occur to interrupt the continuity
of the track the circuit of the relay
would be broken This is arranged to
have the same effect on the signal as
the presence of a train in the block.
Shows Condition of TWO Blocks.
The signals at the beginning of
each block are usually arranged to
blocks in advance. This may be ac-
cOmplished by providing two signals
on the same post, as shown in our
view illustrating an installation on the
Lehigh Valley. The upper, or home"
signal, corresponds TO the adjacent
block, and the lower, or distant sig
nal, corresponds to the second block
ahead. The same result may be at
tanned by employing a single signal
capable of occupying three positions,
as explained below.
When the two signals are used u
train in the adjacent block causes both
signals to extend their warning arms in
d horizontal direction, whicn is inter
Dreted to mean to an approaching
train danger" stop" A train in
the second block causes the home"
signal to assume an inclined position
OF about go degrees, while the dis
lant" signal assumes the horizontal
position. This means "caution-go
slowly" With a. single signal the
horizontal position indicates dan
gel." The caution" Indication is CIV
en- by the signal assuming an inter-
mediate inclined position of 40 de-
grees, and when the block ahead is
clear the signal arm hangs vertically
downward.
All automatic signals are arranged
sc that they will give a danger" in
dication if any of the circuits or con-
nections become broken or deranged.
In this way errors, when they oC-
cur, are always On the side of safety.
The automatic signal not only indi-
Gates the presence Of a train in the
