should be a gas range or an old-fashioned
coal range is a matter Of entirely personal
preference. When the gas is available,
there is no doubt but what a gas range
is far more convenient. The fuel is al
ways ready at the touch OF a match, and
there are no ashes to be taken care Of
with their attendant muss on the kitchen
floor. 1t is also more compactly built, TAX
ing up less room, and does not give off
as much heat into the room.
The kitchen sink should not be less than
twenty by thirty inches, with twelve-inch
enameled back all in one piece. The stand
ard height from the floor to the rim of the
sink is thirty-four inches, but this can be
varied according to the height of the person
using 1t. Enameled iron drain boards are
not practicable, since china dishes are too
frequently broken upon them. The best
drain boards are either cypress or cedar.

BOYS WHO RAN OFF WITH
GROCERY WAGON IN COURT
Two Are Sent to the Detention Home,
with a Warning to Mend
Their Ways.

Evelyn, Bert and Roland Macdonald. the
trio of little boys who made off with
grocery wagon last Saturday night and
were arrested after a wild flight over the
Center street road in the course of which
they held up the owner of a lemonade
stand for his days receipts and his stock,
were brought up in juvenile court Saturday
morning on a delinquency charge. Judge
Kennedy sent Evelyn, aged IL, and Bert.
aged II, to the Detention home until the
further order of the court.
Roland, 8 years old, was barely tall
enough to look over the table at the Judge.

stay at the home depended entirely upon
their behavior; II it was not good, he said

The boys have been living with their
grandmother, Mrs. Evelyn Macdonald, at
GA North Forty-flfth street. Mrs Mac
Donald took good care to explain to the
judge that the eldest boys name was
Evelyn and not Edward having been
named after her and was born on her
forty-second birthday just twelve years
ago.
The three little fellows did not in the
least appear the desperadoes that their
feat gave them credit for. In court they
first denied IT, and then said they didn't
know why they had done it. The little
Hensman boy, whose lemonade stand they
appropriated, appeared in court as a wit
ness. A box Of cigars, which the youth
full bandits took from his stand. they threw

HERE is only one thing In re
gard TO the planning of
kitchens on which all house
- keepers agree, and that is that
lAAgFGSI II should contain a sink. on
- all other points there is a wide
variance Of opinion.
One woman will want a separate pan
try. with all her cupboards in it.; another
would not have a pantry under any condi-
ton. and wants all her cupboards in the
kitchen; one wants to do the pastry work
In the pantry and one IN the Kitchen one
wants a gas stove; another declares that
bread can only be baked in an old-fash-
Toned coal stove; one wants the kitchen
large, another wants the kitchen small,
and so on the list might go without end
but all agree that 1t should contain a
sink, located where the light will shine
In it, but even in regard to the sink there
is wide variance in opinion Some want
two drain boards, others one drain board;
some want this on the left side, others on
the right side; some want the sink large
enough for one dishpan, others do not use
dishpans at all, but want a stopper sink
of small size in which the dishes are
washed. 1t Is, therefore. with considerable
apprehension that an architect attempts
TO describe what, according to his opinion.
modern kitchen should contain.
Kitchens the same as all other parts
of a house. vary according to family re-
quirements. If the family is small and
the woman OF the house does her own
work. II IL safe to say that she does not
care to run back and forth through a pan
try on her way to and from the dining
room while setting the table; neither does
she wish to go into the pantry for every
dish that she may need. Her kitchen
should, therefore, contain everything
within easy reach. every available wall
surface not needed for other kitchen furni-
ture being covered with a cupboard. The
cupboard should contain wood doors since
glass doors are sometimes broken.
The kitchen cupboard should be in two
parts. The lower part should contain
drawers or cupboards according to prefer
ence, up to a countertop; about thirty
inches from the floor. There should then
be an open space OF about eighteen inches
so that this countertop can be used as a
convenient place to lay things, and above
should be located a cupboard containing
adjustable shelves and enclosed with wood
doors. All cupboards Of every description
should have wood backs. When the cup
boards extend to the ceiling, the upper
Part above the line Of easy reach should
have separate doors so that 1t may be
used as a storage space for things not in
frequent use such as empty fruit jars,
Jelly glasses, etc. When the cnpboards
do not extend to the ceiling, the top of the
cupboard should be slanted on a steep
pitch. so that it will not. become a catch-sn
or a place for the dust to accumulate.
Imitation tile wainscoting made Of ce-
ment plaster marked off to initiate tile and

That the new treaty between the

news that arrived here from the Coast

Washington correspondent of San
Francisco newspaper, commenting on
the treaty, has the following to say:
Information has been obtained by
the New York Times correspondent
from various thoroughly trustworthy
sources to the effect that this govern
ment has determined to give Japan a
striking proof of its cordiality and good
will by taking up for immediate action
the matter of negotiation of a new

merce and navigation now in force be-
tEeen the two countries, which would
1T is furthermore the decision of this
government to yield to the request of
Japan that the paragraph of article
of the existing treaty, which specific
ally eXempts from the stipulations of
the treaty the laws, ordinances and
regulations with regard to trade, the
immigration of laborers, police and
public security, which are in force or
which may hereafterg be enactedH IN
either of the two countries, shall not
appear in the new treaty e
"On both these points the present at
ttude of the American government is
not only strongly cQgihatory to Japan.
but it is reversal of the attitude
that has been maintained.
THE preliminary exchange of views
has been going on for some little time,
and it is expected that the technical
stage of negotiations which means
the actual drafting of the new treaty,
will soon be reached. 1t is the hope,
of both governments to get the matter
concluded in time for action by the
Senate at this session The elimination
of the immigration provision will cause
great difficulty in securing ratification
of the new treaty. Japan has always
chafed at that provision i'm her present
