HANDY MAKESHIFT
FOR A TAPE MEASURE

Every woman finds herself OCCASION
ally in need OF a tape measure, be-
cause the one she bought for herself
has been mislaid, for the reason that
there was no definite holder for It. To
make one that cannot stray away from
its ribbon holder, find a fat squat
thread or silk reel, and wind about IT,
with the utmost evenness, a narrow
tape measure OF fine quality, equipped
at the end, having the highest mark
ing with large ring OF plated silver.
Then to the top and bottom OF the ring
fasten disks OF ribbon-covered card
board Of the same circumference as
the body of the spool after the tape
measure has been wound upon It.
These disks are kept in place by
boring hole in the center OF each
one, and. having placed It directly over
each end Of the spool's tunnel, running
a substantial ribbon through the three

LITTLE TOUCHES THAT MAKE
ROOMS MORE ATTRACTIVE

Although there are some women shop
pers who cannot pass a pretty piece OF
bric-a-brac without adding to their al
ready large collection Of useless little
trifies, there is altogether too large a
portion of housewives who go to the
other extreme.
These latter put economy before every
thing. and although they may realize
that a room is becoming shabby, think
too long before making a little outlay Of
money to brighten II.
One can have bodily comfort in even
shabby room, but the least observant
man of the family will realize the change
II a touch OF beauty is added.
Nothing transforms a room more quick
~ than flowers, while a handsome bit
OF brass will do much to brighten It.
Then why not combine both, and place
the pot Of besonias or the palm or fern
in an artistic jardlniere Of pierced brass?

Ny own children were all small to-

Certain scientific principles involved
In cooking are but little understood. We
desire TO emphasize that the cook should
be a person Of scientific training. OF all
the household servants human health
and happiness demands, on the part Of
the cook. the greater intelligence, to-
gether with such thorough understand

properly TO combine and prepare the

Very true. The present high prices Of
food stufs are forcing us onward. We
are training ourselves to avoid waste
to substitute less expensive materials for
costly purchasers, and with these changes
must come the reasons why such radical
reforms are possible. It is no economy

Although the unkind weather pre-
vented the customary Thanksgiving
baseball game between two OF Major
Woods convict teams at the peniten-

pass uunoticed in the great prison. In
common with people all over the coun-

respite from their labors.
The feature of the day at the peni-
Tertiary was an amateur theatrical
show in the basement of the prison
and big Thanksgiving dinner in the
dining hall. The vaudeville show,
staged by the convicts themselves, de-
veloped considerable dramatic talent
among the striped-Clad men. Although
tine rules of the prison did not permit
yociferous applause. the tremendous
audience expressed its appreciation and
endowment by wide smiles and sup
pressed laughs. An exhibition Of stere-
uptican slides accompanied the per-

1t all happened because it showed
Wednesday ~ht. The wires of the

heavy weight OF snow under wh1ch
they rested, leaving only limited
number for use. This made it am
perative that the most be got out OF
the wires that remained intact.
Mr.. O'Brien rose to the occasion. He
contracted u deliver the messages to
Richmond in time tc be forwarded &c
their various destinations before
O'Clock this morning, which was the
hour at which they were due to ar
rive.
And the biggest part Of it is that
he did IL: He carefully slowed the

where he arrived shortly before mid
night and deposited his burden in tn.

there was no fear but that the bundle
