BUSY HOUSEWIFE.

BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Prepared by Luella M. Scovill, Home

"A home convenience should save
steps, save strength or save time.
Many steps and much time and en-
ergy may be saved by having the work
table and sink Of the proper height
and properly located. Provide high
stool on which to sit when working at
the table or sink SO that it will not be
necessary to stand while preparing
vegetables or other foods. Wood
tables, covered with enameled iron or
composition top, will be more san
itary and easier to keep clean. These
will serve the purpose Of molding
boards.
Many steps are saved by having
shelves and hooks over the kitchen
table, and drawers and a flour bin in
the work table. Many utensils, as
well as sugar, spices, flour, and other
materials can then be kept within
reach when one is working at this
table. The stove should be near both
table and sink. Have some of the
drawers tin, lined and covered for
holding bread and crckers. 1t will
then be unnecessary to carry bread
to the cellar or put in boiler after
each meal For one working in a
large farm kitchen, table or tray on
rollers will save many steps in get
ting utensils or food from one part to
another, and getting food and dishes
to and from the dining room.
There are numerous small devices
which make the household cleaning
easier. A mop wringer which fastens
! to the mop pail saves time and strain;
the dust pan with a handle saves
stopping; the dustless buster prevents
scattering of dust from one niece Of
furniture to another; the dustless mop
llightens the daily care of floor; a
soap dish hung on the side of pail
when cleaning saves the soap by not
having it soften in the water and pre-
vents the soap being laid where it
might cause a white spot on furniture
or floor. A Canton flannel bag, which
ties with a string over the broom, is
convenient for wiping off walls and
ceilings. -
The greatest aid in keeping the
house clean is the vacuum cleaner. It
may be used on the rugs, mattresses,
and upholstered furniture,t or. it will
i take up dust from the bare floor.
! While good arrangement and the
many small devices are necessary to
make for convenience in the laundry,
the greatest saving of strength comes
) from the use of power machinery. II
!, power, such as water, gasoline engine
or electricity, can be used, the hardest
task in the household is made easy.
An open floor drain connecting with a
sewer pipe will carry off waste water
from tubs and washer.
A paper pad and pencil should
) hang in the kitchen on which to write
when any supplies need ordering.
The fireless cooker will save fuel
and hours of watching food. 1t is es.
) pecially useful when the housewife is
Obliged to be away from home part
Of the day.
An expenditure to secure any device
which conserves the time, energy and
thought of the house worker is not
only economic, but it is just recog-
milton of the value to the home of the
happy, rested woman who then can
live with the family as well as for it.

Chains on Tires Should
Not Be Held in One Spot

Now is the time of year" says
]. c. Werner, manager of the ]. c.
Werner Tire Co. when we begin to
see the chain cut tires come in, and
if you want to know the fundamental
reason why, just take piece of rub
ber from any tire in one hand, and a
piece of chain in the other-then try
to push them together with a five
hundred to a thousand pound pres
sure, and you have only n slight idea
of the constant battle between chains
and tires.
If a man feels that he must use
chains, Diamond tires will stand up to
them beautifully if they are properly
put on; and for applying them you
can't do better than to follow the ad-
vice of the chain manufacturer.
But remember that the fundamen-
tai principle of using chains without
injury to tires is to have them so fit
ted that they will creep around the
tire and not bruise it continually in
one place. There is little danger of
this on smooth tread tires, but with
the almost endless assortment of
rough 'antiskid treads on the market,
there is danger in getting a tire whose
projections will hold the chain sta
tionary.
Some rough treads, however, offer
chains no obstruction to hold to. while
still performing their antiskid func-
tions. 1t will be we'll for every motor
ist to look to his own tires in this
respect; and in buying new tires fol-
winter wear, this should be one of the
features to be considered. The
Squeegee Tread on Diamond tires is a
good example of an antisllid that will
not hold the chain in one spot.
Chains that are too loose are dam
gerous also, for there is a tendency
for the tire to spin around on the
chain and rip off the rough tread.
But above all, chains should never
be used in city streets or hard, bare
roads, after the thick mire and shush
of the open country is past. BY
promptly removing them from the
tires then, much unnecessary wear will
be saved"

Auto Shipments on Lakes
Greater Than Ever Before

With storm signals flying from

cared for by rail- with the regular win

them for the first time since June, to
guarantee immediate delivery to buy

This record was eclipsed a few days
later, by the shipment of ninety Max
wells to the company's representative
in Cleveland. This shipment, valued at
nearly 100000, is the largest and most
valuable in lake traffic annals. To
make it required the careful economy
of every inch of space on the main
deck of the steamer, Eastern States
The ninety cars comprised four hours
of production at the Maxwell plants
and Were driven direct from the test
ing track to the boat by large relay
of pilots. The loading process itself
consumed more than half q day.
The Cleveland record surpassed the
prior lake navigation market of eighty
Maxwells shipped to. Buffalo several
weeks earlier. In all probability, it
will remain high, until the navigation
companies place some larger vessel
on the late Fall run.
Motorists in any of the Great Lakes
cities are unusually favored this year,
as winter buyers will be ensured of inn

The promptness of boat shipment is the
most direct advantage at their dis

Drives Saxon Six SAT
Miles in 35 Hours

William p. (Billy) Knipper. of Ro-
chester. n. Y, former automobile rae
ing star, won a wager by driving a
stock model Saxon six" touring car
from Rochester to New York City and
return, a distance of SAT miles. in 50
hours and Is m inutes according to
report that has Just been made known.
The wager was with two prospective
customers, both of whom accompanied
knipper throughout the day and night
trip. The wager was made to the ef-
chester to New York City and back
while the clock went around three
times or. in other words, in thirty six
stops of any nature such as replenish-
ing with gasoline and oil or time for
meals.
Knipper took up the challenge and
started out without a relief driver or
mechanic to win the wager. There was
no sleep on the journey. The longest
stop was of twenty-five minutes dura-
tion, at Columbus Circle, in New York
City, where a number of Knipper's old
friends, who had heard about the feat
he was undertaking, greeted him with
a demonstration.
The average speed recorded by Knip-
per's Saxon was twenty-four miles an
night run, part of which was through
heavy rains Omitting time required
for meals and reflling with gasoline
and oil, Knipper's Saxon made better
than this average. The car Travelled
throughout at the rate of twenty miles
to the gallon of gasoline and 256 miles
to the quart of oil. 1t required no at
tention for mechanical troubles and
only one stop was made for punctures
The performance so impressed the
two men who accompanied Knipper
that each of them bought a Saxon, in
addition to paying the wager which
| they lost.
Knipper has been the hero in many
an automobile speed event. before he
gave up racing. He acquired national
! fame by consistent winnings, both in
short races and in endurance runs. at
Atlanta. Lowell, ,Elgin. Long Island
and many other places. Knipper says
he is prouder of his latest achieve
ment than of any other which he has
to his credit.
