The Kitchen Mechanic.

Inc village cut-up who first dubbed
the household cook Kitchen mechanic"
buI!ded better than he knew. His
merry quip had in it the quality of
prophecy, for in these days of fireIess,
dustless, laborless, wasteless, fatigue
less, and drudgeless household appli-
ances, by means of which a meal can
be cooked with the touching of a but
ton, blue Monday wash negotiated
by merely turning a lever, and a house
cleaned and busted by simply twisting
valve, the gentle genius who presides
over the destinies of home might well
call herself mistress mechanic"
That the woman of the house will
be able to manipulate the machinery
which is making it's way into the home
is evident from the fact that ever since
Elias Howe, back in the 4Os, cut wom-
ems work in half when he put the eye
in the point of the needle and used two
threads in the crude sewing machines
of that day, woman has been mistress
of the sewing machine, that mystery
of mysteries to the man of the house.
Before that time she knew little of
mechanical devices, says a writer in
the Appleton's.
Beginning beyond the days of re-
corded history with the crude stone
grain grinder, she later became ac-
quainted with the grinding mill with
its upper and neither mill stone, the
bone, and then the ivory and metal
needle, the first crude loom and distaff,
and then the spinning wheel and i'm
proved looms.
But the march of improvement took
the spinning, weaving and flour MAX
ing out of the hands of women, and it
was not until the churn and sewing
machine came into her world that she
got in touch again with what might
be called machinery.
1t is interesting to recall that the
bicycle craze gave her concrete idea
of applied mechanics, and the auto
mobile has induced many women of
high position to take lessons of their
chauffeurs to such good advantage
that they have become handy with
monkey wrenches, screw drivers, files,
aud chipping hammers. Woman's ed
ucation in practical mechanics has
been helped in recent years by the
many devices placed on the market de-
signed to save labor or multiply ma
terial. There are scores of little knick-
knacks. which require more or less ex-
pertness in mechanical way to man
ipulate successfully, used in the kitch-
en-, bedroom, and around the house.
These are all serving their part in
leading women up to the high plane
which she will occupy soon as a do
nestle engineer the head of an estab-
lishment in which electricity, com
pressed air, vacuum, high-pressure wa
ter and denatured alcohol, with all
their accompanying devices and ap-
paratuses, will combine to shorten her
hours of work to minutes, and length
en- her minutes of rest to hours. Per-
haps in this new order of things some
educational institution will establish
chair of domestic engineering. The de-
gree then conferred upon the sweet
girl graduate may not be that of tx.
NJ" but it will certainly be some Lat
inized synonym of that old term of
Standardization mechanic"

Small Ironinu Board,

Any one who has experienced the
nuisance of getting out long ironing
board to do a small piece of ironing
should provide herself with a small
board for just such emergencies.
Cover an ordinary bread board, that
has become too shabby for baking,
with an old flannel blanket, folded in
several thicknesscs. The blanket is
then sewed into a strong piece of mus
lin shooting, put on smoothly.

THINK coFFRoTH IN DEAL
Californians Believe Him to Be Man
Behind Richards Bid

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-Later to-
day, as sporting men here received
private advices from New York the
conviction grew that James Coffroth
is the man behind the offer made by
TEX" Richard of ely, New. and John
]. Gleason OF this city. Instead of be-
ing depressed by the news from New
York the close associates of Coffroth
were elated when they heard how the
matter had been decided
1t is well known that since his con-
nection with the socalled fight trust"
during the Schmitz-Ruef regime COT
froth has been unable to obtain a per-
nit to conduct a fight within the city
limits of San Francisco and for that
reason constructed his Sunshine ar
ena over the line in San Mateo coun-
ty. Some friction developed when
Coifroth made his last application for
a permit, and it is not believed his
troubles in that direction have been
patched up.
For these reasons sporting men say
that while Coffroth will remain the
power behind the throne in the com
ing fight, his name will not appear as
being directly connected with the at
fair.
II is no longer a secret that
strong effort will be made to have the
incoming administration repeat the
ordinance which forbids fights of
more than 20 rounds in this city and
it is figured that there will be little
trouble in doing this if Coffroth's
name is not too prominent
