The kitchen-and by the kitchen
is meant the labor performed in the
home-is on the eve of a change
more stupenduous than anything
known in the economic history of
woman. It is about to change from
hand power to machine power.
The kitchen of the future is go
ing to be run by wires and motors
says the New Idea Woman's Maya
zine for October.
From the huge old farm kitchen
in which the whole family ate and
lived. it is going to become a small,
light place like a pantry or a clothes
press. There the woman will stand
and press buttons and turn switches
and the power will do the rest. Be
fore her will be a light, small table
with switchboard behind it.
She will manipulate that switch
board. and cook without heat, odor
gases, smoke or fire.
One switch turned on will heat the
oven exactly, uniformly and almost
instantly. She vii know exactly the
degree of heat she has turned on.
For the first time in the world cook
ing will be done with mathematical
Under and around her little table
will be shelves containing her light,
brings. strong cooking utensils, new
er blackened with SCOT She Will
reach for everything. instead of walk
ing for it. just as the cook in the din
ing car reaches to-day for everything
in his tiny sumptuously fitted kitchen.
Another switch is turned. and ex-
actly enough water is heated for q
bath or a washing in a few minutes
perhaps in one minute
Certainly the housewife of the fu-
ture will be a skilled electrician, I'M
sofar as the management of the cur
rents for household purposes are con-
cerned. She will talk intelligently Of
voltage and kilowatts. A cleaner
worked by power motor will suck up
every grain of dust not only from
her floor. but from her curtains

The great game for all Halloween
parties is that Of looking into the
future. So the old witch is ever
feature Of every Halloween party.
She must be grotesque. terrible. in
teresting. Her makeup is easy; a bit
of burned cork will make fine lines in
her face. a ragged old skirt and jack
ct. a tall cone of black cardboard pin
ned to an old black Fedora hat for
head covering. The torn cover to
on old umbrella makes a good cape,
as the points look something like bats
wings
The witch is the fortune teller,
and she is not introduced to the COM
pany until after the excitement of
the costumes has somewhat subsided
Then the hostess announces that the
witching hour has come and that the
old bag by her art can show to you
the one Of your heart.
Preparations for this game will re-
ouire some time and patience. The
idea is to have a picture frame ar
ranged behind a curtain in such a
way that a person can stand behind
the empty frame.
The witch is in front Of the cur
tain with her old black pot In the
bottom fire is burning The witch may
drop a few grains of red-hre powder
on the Goals as each guest comes up
for her fortune, but this is a detail
which is not essential to the fun Of
the evening. After mumbling inarticu-
late syllables and weird sounds the
old witch pronounces in solemn tones
Bubble. bubble, love or hate,
A Weary Willie will be your fate.
Then she slowly draws the curtain
and reveals a living picture of a
laughing hobo The characters are
unlimited.

Have a Halloween Ghost Party.
For the hostess who wishe to tsry
something new. the Chinese Ghost
clothes party is a good suggestion.
says the New Idea Woman's Maya
zine for October. For clothes use the
Chinese mannikins put on at the flu
neral service. Upon the conclusion Of
the ceremony the mannildn and suit
are burned. The idea being that the
clothes go to heaven for the deceased
TO wear there.
The real suits. which the Chinese
import from China are made of strong
tissue paper, handsomely decorated
with water color pictures done free
hand and with stencils. They are for
sale in the cities and towns where
there is a large Chinese Colony. They
cost fifteen cents a suit, but the clever
hostess can easily make them either
of paper or cambria.

when the Moving Pictures FIutter

When the moving pictures futter at
the FIVE and ten-cent show,
And you hear the loud pianner as the
player bangs is so;
And the hummin' of the pictures as
they wind about the reel,
And the "phoning' of the photograph
in frantic, loud appeal,
1t is then your eyes get dizzy and your
head whirs in a whirl,
And your optics twitch and itch at the
pictures in their swirl
AS they race across the canvass, with
a motion never slow,
When the moving pictures futter at
the five and ten-cent show.
Your lids are hazy, too, and yr head
is in a whirl,
From the fluttering of the pictures in
their fascinating swirl.
For the pictures fly so fast as they're
thrown upon the screen,
AS the man up there behind turns the
livin'-like machine;
And you make a firm resolve, that
yoQll never, never go,
Where the moving pictures futter at
the FIVE and ten-cent show.
There's something satisfyin' about the
picture show,
Specially when there's nothin' else
in town to which to go.
of course. we miss the orchestra
swell gowns, and all O. thar
tn say nothin' of the high-price,
seat, opera-cape or opera-hat
But the shows are so allurin' and yo'
want to kill some time,
And you get a quarters worth FIR
nickel or a dime
It's chance you can not miss, so yoi
pay your coin and go,
Where the pictures futter at the fiv
cent and ten-cent show.

think there is scarcely a person
who lives in Oregon. Washington,
Idaho. Montana or California who
has not been aroused to the necessi-
ty for greater vigilance in the matter
of forest fire protection and proven

resolution, which was adopted with
a view of enlisting the national gov
eminent in the successful fighting
