CROSSING A BRIDGE roo SOON

Mr.. Harrison had been invited to
a Christmas dinner and told that he
would be expected to carve. He
bought cook book and turkey and
mapped out the bird. Then he paid
for a couple of lessons from the
server in restaurant where he often
ate and felt that he was ready for the
ordeal. On the festal day he awaited
the incoming turkey with smiling
self-confdence. The door opened and
in came the maid, bearing a huge
platter upon which was a little roast
pig.-Ladies' Home Journal

New York.-She can't sing a whole
lot and she doesn't care much for
acting, but Teddy Hudson, cutest of
all the little "darlings" in ''Papa's
Darlings," is getting on beautifully in
her profession.
It's her hair that does it. Teddy's
hair is as pale as the coat of a
French poodle, and when she tufts it
around her face and about her small,
sharp eyes she looks just as cunning
as her own. pet poodle.
The poodle fluff" is odd, Broad

SAVE STEPS, MRS. HoUSEKEEP-
Err, BY PLANNING WORK
1t requires a great many steps to
travel from cellar to attic, from back
yard to front door, but the house
keeper can save miles Of steps" if
she'll learn to work in large circles.
In making the beds, for instance,
straighten one side of the bed, and
before going around to the other side
look about and see if there are" not
some clothes or books or pillows to
be picked up and put in the closet or
on the dresser on the other side of the
bed. AS you move across the room
place each article gathered up in its
proper place. Then finish making
the bed.
Before leaving the room gather up
the things that may belong in the
room nearest the bedroom, take them
there and put them in their proper
place so that you will not have to
handle those articles again.
If you work in this way systemat-
icaIly and with forethought, you will
have hundreds of steps, your work
will demand so little thought that you
will find your mind free to plan other
things, to think about your shopping,
about club meeting or something
else that frees you from the worry of
keeping house.

CONFERENCE LAST FALL

A dispatch from keokuk in the Des
Moines Register and Leader to the
effect that petitions were being cir
culatad for signatures against the
hiring of convicts from other states
for the purpose of doing painting,
paperhanging and other labor is prac-
tically denied today by the president
Of the Keokuk Trades Assembly and
by the secretary of the painters and
Eaperhangers' union.
The story as it appeared in the
Register and Leader follows:
KEOKUK, iowa, Jan. 27.-A petit
ton to Governor Clarke was circulated
liere today protesting against the al
legged hiring of convicts from other
states to do painting, paperhanging
and other local labor Several hun
dred signatures already have been
secured.
When this story was shown to D. j.
Hemmy, president of the Keokuk
Trades Assembly, he said that he
knew nothing of any such action, ex.
cept that which had been taken last
fall, when some OF the council went
to Des Moines and conferred with Gov
ernor Clarke, and Senator Anthony
McColl, head of the board of control
over the situation at Fort Madison
MIR. Hemmy said that IL any action was
taken 1t was evidently from a local
union.
Q. D. McMains, secretary of the
Painters and paperhangers' union, de
MED that his union had taken any
such action. He thought possibly the
council might have taken some action
