SYSTEM SAVES woMANs TIME
Many Farm Wives Lose by Not Map
ping Their Work Out In Me-
thodieaI Manner.

A program is a great labor saver.
we are told. but some women use a
program as a robin does a pole
something to fly from. They never
know what Is to be done next, says o
writer in Country Gentleman. A regu-
lar order, wherein the work is dove
tailed, makes for real efficiency.
While the woman who does her work
hit or miss is in the throes Of indie
cislon as to what shall be done next,
the really methodical woman has her
work all mapped out a week ahead.
She o swiftly and surely from one
task to the next with no lost time. The
amount OF work she turns OF is a mar
vel to the other woman.
A good homemaker plans her work
and works her plan. She is envied by
less executive women, but she must
pay the price in careful thought and in
an infiexible will that holds her to the
prescribed procedure, A weaker wom-
an makes a good plan, but circum-
stances are forever altering It. She
lever drives her work, but her work
drives her continually. 1t worries
her; it becomes a nightmare. Because
she is always putting things of she is
always behind time, and therefore
what she does do is done under pres
sure and in a hurried way that is al
ways wasteful.

Father C~olbacchini of the Salesian
order, founded by Don Bosco, which
has important mission stations among
the Indians of Brazil, reports the dis
covery Of a great waterfall on the Rio
das Mortes, in the Matte Crosse,
which he named after Plus X. The
Rio das Mortes, which is be-
tween $50 and 200 meters wide and
more than two meters deep in its
higher course, narrows down gradual
ly to about eight meters, and the i'm
mense volume OF its waters dashes
down through a mass of high rocks in
a wonderful waterfall more than 500
meters long. Father Colbacchini had
the name on Plus X cut in the rock
near the waterfall and erected a large
cross made from the branches of two
trees on the brink Of the water. He
then explored the lower course Of the
river. The surface of the region
crossed by Father Colbacchini and his
party of Bororos is covered by strata
of sandstone deeply eroded and in
denied by water, and the river basin
was surrounded by ridges and ranges
of hills.-New York Sun.
