There SENS to be no method in the
way woman buys kitchen tools. She
picks up a strainer here, saucepan
there and a pitcher yonder, without
considering the buying points of each
before she purchases, says the New
ark News.
Will 1t be easy to wash and cleanse
this tool? No tol is a labor saver
which takes longer to wash than the
time it saves over the old method. OF
two equally good tools, the one having
the fewer parts and requiring the less
complex washing should be chosen.
Some meat choppers are extremely diff
ficult to cleans and also allow the juic-
es to escape on the kitchen table. A
better chopper has a food compart-
ment in two sections to allow easy
cleansing and gutter to retain the
juices.
Complicated egg whips, devices
which the manufacturer urges will do
81 different kinds of things, from op-
ening bottles and currying lemons, to
peeling potatoes, even if they do all
that is claimed for them are so difficult
to clean that it is preferable to do
without them altogether
All seams and cracks in utensils
harbor dirt, grease and food particles
They also add to the difficulty of wash
ing that utensil. Nothing could be
harder to cleanse than the ordinary
scanned muffin pan, yet the hemispher-
ical pans-all in one smooth mold
cost no more.
Is this tool comfortable to use?
Does it's handle press awkwardly into
the palm? Has it sharp edge, or I'M
finished surface to catch the clothing
Is it fashioned so that one cannot get
hold on it? Is its handle awkwardly
placed? Is it pitcher which won't
pour? Such an article is dear at any
price.

Not the least interesting work will
be the study of stream flow and ero-
sion. In fact every man owning an
acre of agricultural land who depends
for his water upon the streams flowing
from the national forests, and who
has had to contend with flood and wa
ter scarcity, has a great interest in
this work.
Close up to the divide of the Was
-atch plateau, about two miles above
the experiment station, two plats have
been selected for the study of stream
flow and erocion while third has been
selected for stream flow study alone.
The first two plats already have been
fenced off, and at their lower ends in
genious devices are being constructed
in the course of gullies converging
there for the purpose of making var
ious observations regarding the areas.
Here the earth and sediment, which is
washed down these gullies, will be
caught in huge tanks that will furnish
the erosion record. The standard of
measurement will be by weight, this
being the most accurate way of deter
mining erosion.
Here also stream flow will be auto
matically recorded. Telegraphic wires
are being strung from these areas to
the experiment station, and the precip-
itation, stream flow and duration of
sunlight will be recorded automatic.

some VERY GOOD TOOLS
To HAVE in KITCHEN.

best arranged kitchen. II Is better to
have one frying pan used daily and
given the best of care than It is to
have six frying pans used weekly,
which gather dust in the mean time
A duplication of cheap tools costs in
the end as much as or more than one
good one. The 10-cent frying pan is
measured in weeks of poor service,
but the service of the we'll shaped
cast steel pan is measured in years.
Knives are probably the most i'm.
portant tools of the kitchen. Not a
single meal could be prepared-bread
cut, potatoes peeled-without knives,
yet in no other one article do women
practise such short sighted false econ
omy. A kitchen with stock of fine
knives is the unusual kitchen. Ten
cents for a pairing knife and at most
so cents for great or meat knife are
all woman spends, yet three weeks
of service finds the blade loose from
the handle of the parer and the meat
knife so dull it won't cut butter.
Thereupon the housewife promptly
buys new parer, pays Is cents to
have the meat knife sharpened and re.
peats the performance ad libitum. All
this while she has no really efficient
tool. Why not, in the first place, pur.
chase flnives of finely tempered steel
well rivited into their handles?

MAXWELL PROVES
A POPULAR CAR
Work Of Racers in Speed
way Events Shows Dura-
bility of Construction.

The Maxwell is rapidly coming to the
front as a racing proposition, making
high marks in every race. The latest
laurels to be added to its crown was
the winning of the famous Montmaron
trophy at Tacoma recently in the re-
markable time of hours Al minutes
and 80 2-5 seconds for the distance of
200 miles over the Tacoma speedway.
Hughie Hughes was the driver, and de-
feated big field of the best cars of
both continents. An average of / 20
miles per minute was made for the
entire distance.
J. /. Goldstein of the Central Auto
company, expressed much pleasure at
the victory of Hughes at Tacoma.
Il have been expecting the Maxwell
to come in first in all of the events, and
IL it hadn't been for unavoidable acct
dents there would be quite a few more
victories to its credit. The way this
car Is built it must certainly be a logi-
cal winner in the longest, most trying
contests, because every part is tested
and true. l do not believe there is
factory in the world which builds more
carefully and is more particular about
the quality of material that goes into
the cars

DETROIT FIRM GIVES A
LESSON IN EFFICIENCY

y striking lesson in efficiency and
economy has been given by the De-
troit firm of c. E, Morgan & Son, dis
tributors of flavoring extracts. BY the
use Of an Overland delivery car the
firm in one month more than doubled
it's business, the increase of 100 per
cent being due to the ability to cover
more area than heretofore was within
reach, The delivery car is covering
nearly 100 miles each day, delivering
the firms products to retail stores in
every part of the city
The increase in our business, since
we installed the delivery wagon, has
been a perfect marvel to u.s." said Mr..
Morgan, ST., in a recent talk with
friends. I'VE not only doubled our
business the first month, but we have
yet to learn the capacity of our car,
for even with this great increase our
work for the day is over in the middle
of the afternoon. Though l never be-
fore realized 1t, l cannot now see how
any modern business man can afford to
stick to horses in preference to motor
driven vehicles"

MY trips on a motorcycle have been
one long list of pleasures" says Miss
Sadie Grimm of Winnipeg, Canada.
In the first place the motorcycle is a
great teacher for girl-it teaches
her to be more dependent on herself,
to know that with L twis- of the wrist
she can control the powerful little
machine that will carry her swiftly
and safely wherever she wants to go.
Il don't think any one could rec
ommend a better doctor than nature
plenty of fresh air and exercise are
the greatest health givers. And to
the person who works in the city. the
motorcycle offers ole of the quickest,
most economical md most pleasant
ways of getting this exercise and fresh
air. On the two wheeler, one can
take a spin into the country after
working hours in the evening or early
in the morning, and Sundays and holt
days can be spent entirely out of
doors"
One of the most exciting rides ever
taken by Miss Grimm occurred last
fall. She was jogging along the coun
try road some miles from Winnipeg
when she came upon & large crowd in
the middle of the road An automo
bile had overturned and several of the
occupants were severely injured. An
ambulance had been sent for but had
not arrived. AS Miss Grimm could be
OF no assistance there, she decided to
ride toward Winnipeg and if she
should meet the ambulance, endeavor
to get them to hurry, as tho case was
serious. However, she rode clear to
the police station only to find that as
the accident was outside the city linn
it's, no ambulance would be sent
Turning the nose of her two wheeler
again toward the country Miss Grimm
sped back to the scene of the acci-
dent and advised them or the situation
The injured persons were then placed
on suburban train and brought into
the city.

riding?" asked one of the doctors in

Interesting News of the Motor World

to Pendleton harmonized with the gen
eral description Of limerick
The little Buick was humming over
the Oregon roads when limerick sighted
a group of men riding horseback.
Must be some kind of a roundup
near here" said the travelling sales
man.
The group bore down on the auto
mobile, but the fact that the riders car
ried unkind appearing rifles did not
occasion any thought out of the ordi-
nary.
The horsemen monopolized the road,
so limerick brought his car to a stop.
Several of the men dismounted and
walked over to the car and began a
conversation about the weather and
psychological depressions and proceed
ed to do some watchful waiting.
limerick turned his head to a side
for moment, and in flash a pair of
handouts were around his wrists.
limerick launched several hearty
laughs, but the audience was unap-
preciative; in fact, cold.

We've been trailing you all over the
country, and now we've got you. Come
with us; and don't get gay" was the
invitation that was extended to EN-
erick with a glazing lack of polite
ness.
limerick accompanied the delegation
into Pendleton and in the little Oregon
town he was informed that he was sus-
pected of being one of the bandits who
held up the Oregon Washington Rail-
road g. Navigation company's train
near Meacham, Ore, on July 2.
A grip full of papers and orders and
lengthy, spirited conversation estab-
lished Emerick's identity and he was
permitted to go.
The first thing he did was to set a
shave; the next to find the shortest
route to the Washington border and
then let the little Buick roadster crowd
on all the speed its powerful motor
could develop.

Cascades to Easton several weeks ago,

through the eastern field. He visited

Lewiston and Twin Falls and then
swung down into Oregon.
limerick was so busy raking in or
ders for the firm he represents that he
did not perform his usual tonsorial
functions. In fact, limerick was so
busy that he had a five days growth of
whiskers on his smiling countenance,
when he piloted the little Buick across
the state line into oregon.

CARELESSNESS AND
FRIGHT CAUSE OF
SkIDDlNG MISHAPS

Carelessness and fright are
the two big factors in most
skidding accidents. When the
streets are slippery the best
drivers will have their troubles
unless they use caution. And
the first rule of caution is to
drive so that the sudden appli-
cation of brakes will not be
necessary at any time. For when
the brakes go on hard and sud
denly, there is going to be an
automobile doing a tango imme-
diately. Approach all the street
crossings with the car under
control without the brakes being
used. Let the engine do the
braking to slow up for a cross
ing. Then put on the brakes
easily. If the car shows a ten
dency to swing around, release
the brakes Immediately. And
then here is the big vital thing
to do. Turn the front wheels in
the direction to which the rear
of the machine is sl1idding. 1t
is instinct to turn the wheels in
the opposite direction. The re-
suit is that the skid is accentu-
ated When driving along the
road and there is trouble on the
right side it is instinct to turn
the wheels away from it. That
is the reason the beginner will
invariably make a skid worse.
