TIMING AT OLYMPIC GAMES
Novel Electric Method Used In Some
Races to Get Exact Time-Device
Settles All Disputes.

At the Olympic games at Stockholm
there was used novel electric
method for timing the runners in some
OF the races. SO as to get the exact
time made by the winner. and also to
decide who crossed the line first, even
when the difference was very small.
The starter gave the signal by firing
pistol and this was connected by
electric wires with two stop watches
and these commenced to run for TAX
ing the time. The start and finish
were at the same point, and across the
track light string was stretched be-
tween poles and the string was also
connected with the stop watches for
stopping them. The first conner broke
the string when crossing the line so
that the watches were stopped and the
exact time between start and finish
could be seen. Breaking the string
also served to work an electric device
for the shutter OF camera which was
mounted just on the finish line and
above the judges stand, SO that the
photographer had an image of the win
ner when crossing the finish line.
This method is very useful in settling
nll disputes.-La Nature, Paris.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When grinding bread or cracker
crumbs through the meat chopper. tie
a paper bag over It; it prevents the
crumbs from scattering. When the
bag Is full empty 1t into q dish and
proceed as before.
Here is the way one busy mother
writes to her three children away
from home: BY using piece of i'm
preston paper she makes three cop
les Of her letter. as she will say the
fame thing to each. Then If she
wants to add little personal note at
the end of each, she does SO. In this
manner they all get letter at one
sitting.
A good idea for one who likes to
write interesting letters Is to make
notes on the envelopes OF unanswered
letters. jotting down things from day
to day that will be interesting. then
when the time comes for the leisure
to answer the letter, the suggestions
will help, as one Is SO apt to often
leave out the most important item Of
all.
A window shade which can be rolled
up or down makes good door for
pantry shelves that have not been
provided with doors.
Glass cut to fit shelf. especially in
medicine closet. Is a great conven-
ience. as it is 80 easily kept clean.
For large dresser one may have an
elaborately embroidered or trimmed
cover under the glass.
To keep curtains from swinging in
the wind. sew a small weight in the
corner Of each hem.
To keep rugs from slipping on a
polished floor, sew strips Of rubber on
the under side of each hem.
In cleaning white enamel paint. use
milk and ammonia. This mixture will
not turn the enamel yellow.

present.
The dishes outside the subject"
otherwise "hors d'oeuvres,' come
with the soup, and may be placed be-
fore the dinner is announced. which is
the usual custom. These consist of
such things as olives. radishes. celery
and such accessories. Radishes are
usually removed with the soup, but
salted nuts are passed during the en-
tire meal.
Foods that are hot should be served
on hot plates, and Geld foods on we'll
chilled plates. This is something that
is often entirely neglected and will
spoil an otherwise delightful meal.
Those who will accept carelessly
cooked and ill-served meals daily need
not look for good service in time OF
