or for the capital without giving

merely imprisons the moisture with the

ing one when Alfred Thurston Child, also
Of the experiment station. discusses IT.
Mr.. Child is associated with Mr. Barnard
and Is at present In charge or the experl-
ment station, while Mr.. Barnard seeks the
sun OF California.
Mr.. Barnard observed early In MS oo-
mestIc experiments that in order to DO ef-
fective housework one must have enectNe
utensils" said Mr.. Child. The proposition
sounds self-eyident but is by no means So
In the sphere OF cookery archaic utensils
came with undertaking regularity from
generation to generation-thc most COM
n,ete illustration OF the survival OF the
unfit. The very pans and kettles tnat haa
been used for centuries by whole armies
of housekeepers were shaped in about as
inaffectiye a manner as possibly could be
devised-with deep bellies, with restricted
heating surface and a body which gradu-
ally swelled toward the top. They were
obviously modelled on the cooking utensils
SHAPED in clay, thousands OF years aeo'
when IL was necessary to carry water for
long distances The matter OF their scien-
tiAc effectiveness was unthought of, and
as effective utensils they were deplorable.
The small undertaking surface made 1t
impossible for heat 10 be quickly dis
tributed. Mr.. Barnard expeiimented and
changed all that He discovered that the
broad bottomed shallow Kettle was realiy
the one for effective business. He discovered
that there were such utensils upon the
market. but that few persons knew OF
them. Then and there he conceived the
idea OF the broader uses of the experiment
station. He began TO experiment with the
various labor saving appliances upon the
| market. with a view 10 testing them In the
practical conditions OF everyday house

briskly to his little kitchen. and indicated

You learn that this old, inexpressioly
Youthful gentleman started life for the Sec

THE problems of life forced the studies
of housekeeping upon me- said he simply

TO associate these things so that he
could reach them without any waste mo-
tions." Thus he came 10 hang his bread
knife over his bread box. within easy
reach Of his ice chest, and rested contented
in the knowledge that the Science Of Rest
was DEVELOPING He Immediately grouped
other things which would come by natural
association of activities.
And here, like another Columbus, he
found himself upon untrodden ground, and
precipitated himself upor Discovery No.
O. Kitchens were too large You had
to walk in order to get things. Mr..
Barnard constitutiOnally objected to walk
ing, on domestic service at all events He
preferred reaching Accordingly he con-
structed for himself a sort of cubby hole,
which he was pleased to term kitchen.
1t had many shelves and many hooks. He
found that crowded articles on shelves
were ineffective and annoying. Nothing
must overlap, because overlapping means
shuffling and useless removal of unneces-
sary objects and Mr. Barnard objected
to doing either.
So see him surrounded by his thin white
line of crockeyy and pans. not arranged
as crockery or as pans, but according TO
the several uses to which the crockery
and the pans were likely 10 be put. See
him seated on a high stool, too; for Mr.
Barnard made the further surprising dis
covery that II is easier TO work sitting
than standing. Each article around him
was ranged neatly as the keyboard OF

to stoop is another of the cardinal tenets

should you drop hundred pounds only

Mr. Barnard and in front of him was a
window, which also had its scientific mean
ing when Mr.. Barnard had fairly encom-
passed its uses. 1t presented in a straight
line with Mr.. Barnard's eyes an oppor-
tunity to look out and a natural means
of changing their focus, which is natures
way of resting them.
Mr. Barnard found all these things out
when he was unraveing the mysteries OF
waste efforts.
MIR. Barnard began with study OF that
delectable operation Of hulling strawberries

were considered as a means to the greatest
