NEW WAY WITH DISHES
WILL BIZ FOUND TO LlaHTEN
HOUSEHOLD DuTlEa
Once q Day Sufficient, With Proper
Manasement-After Breakfast the
Ssst limo to Perform the
Necessary Work.

1t is astonishing to think that after
centuries OF housekeeping women
should continue to wash dishes in the
same old way. The mother OF a girl
who finished her college course last
spring sends In this excellent plan by
which she and her daughter contrived
to tighten their household duties very
greatly. In the first place, it is a
small family Of four, and they wash
dishes only once day--in the morn
Ing. Does that sound slovenly to you?
No. 1t is merely good management.
After each meal the dishes are held
under a, spigot-the hot one if they
are very greasy-and that takes care
OF the 'horrid" part. They are then
stacked carefully in a large wooden
COX which stands on the table con-
veniently near the sink. The lid is
closed, the rest OF the kitchen put in
order, the pots put to coax in an in
conspicuous place and the "co-opera-
tive housekepers" are free to spend
the afternoon or evening pleasantly.
After breakfast. however, when
plenty Of hot water IS at hand, they
begin washing the glass and silver in
a big dishpan OF sudsy water. These
are rinsed and dried; the rest Of the
dishes are washed. set in wire racks
that one can get for that purpose and
thoroughly scalded with hot water
that comes directly from the spigot
through a short length of hose, one
end of which is slipped over the spigot
and the other end OF which carries
bathroom spray nozzle. This hose, by
the way, is a homemade arrangement.
Most of the water having now run
OF, the dish rack is lifted on the news
papered top Of sort of buffers tray
on wheels. This tea wagon was also
made by the college girl, who had had
bit of manual training. The wagon
was then pushed into the pantry and
by the time the second rack of dishes
was ready the first was dry and ready
to be packed ON the shelves.
1t certainly Is a pleasure to see and
eat from those beautiful shiny dishes.
OF course, there were left the pots
and pans, which had to be scrubbed
and dried. But that isn't a bad job
II one Is not already tired out with
drying and packing away numerous
small lots Of dishes. To be sure, 1t
takes a great many dishes, but then
10 one thinks OF washing the clothes
every day because It takes lot to
keep going all week After all II with
proper organization one can get well
done, all at once, whatever work Is
really necessary, why stick to an an
tiquated method?

Sarando MacaronI.

Sarango macaroni is another tasty"
dish. Take half pound of macaroni
broken into small pieces, and boil till
tender. Line dish with a rich short
paste, which has been brushed with
beaten eggs and covered with grated
cheese~ssa that the latter adheres to
the sides as well as to the bottom. Into
this pour about half the macaroni,
sprinkling lightly with the cheese, and
then thick layer of plum or rasp-
berry jam, or orange marma]ade. Add
the remainder of the macaroni and fill
the dish with a custard made OF two
eggs, a small cupful of milk and a
pinch of salt. Cover with the crust and
bake in quick oven. This is good
hot or cold, and needs no sauce.

MEMORY AND ABILITY
GENERAL IDEA THEYARE sYNoN-
YMoUs TERMS Is WRONG.
Numerous Instances In History Where
Men Of Intellect Were Notorious for
Their Forgetfulness-Humor.
Gus Case In Court.

During the course Of recent trial
instituted for the purpose of deciding
whether an aged millionaire had need
of guardian to administer his affairs,
one OF the principal arguments sup
porting the charge of incompetency
related to defective memory. The is
sue is full of human interest and can
be discussed as psychological prob
lem quite apart from the legal merits
Of this particular case. -
Fate was surely in her most ironi-
cal mood when she tempted an alien
ist to testify that the octogenarian
must be incompetent because of a
faulty recollection Of the court pro-
ceedings, and then forced the special
list to confess that he could not re-
member a question which had been
asked him only a few minutes before.
Hoist with him own petard, the expert
cut an amusing figure, but his profit
from the striking lesson should out
weigh all the personal discontinue to
which he was subjected.
There are few fallacies more gen.
orally entertained than the theory
that memory Is an index to mental ca
pacity. While it is true that an ut
ter inability to recall anything out
side of the fixed idea is a sign OF in
sanity, it Is equally true that many
men who have made their mark in the
world have VIGOROUSLY bad memories.
That is to say, they are remarkable
for the things they forget, but it will
usually be found Slat theirs Is the
treasure Of a selective memory re-
tanning only what is useful for present
purposes.
A distinguished politician, also
something of wag, said that he owed
his success to an aptitude for forget
ting everything, including promises
and convictions, but excepting names
and faces.
On the other hand there are count
less instances Of men with phenome-
nal memories who scarcely knew
enough to come in out of the wet.
They are literally peripatetic ency-
clopedias, very useful for reference
purposes to others, but totally unable
to focus their knowledge with any eff
feet upon a given object. Their minds
are junk shops rather than work.

In otho~ words, success In life, to
say nothing Of mere competency In
the legal sense, is not a matter OF
memory. 1t Is the judiciously selec-
tive rather than the Unfortunately

prodigious memories which were not
