Always when someone has made an
invention or discovery some other
person comes along pretty soon with
improvements. These improvements
usually have to do with the efficiency
of the thing or it's simplification.
Sometimes it is found that a part of
the original contrivance which was
considered quite essential is really of
no particular need and can be done
away with just as we'll as not.
Something Of that sort seems to be
happening to wireless telegraphy just

That dry season saw the beginning
of a drought that will long hold the
blacklist page in the annals of the San
Francisco basin. 1t seemed but days
after the rains when the sparse grass
and neW-leafed bushes of the wilder
ness began to shrivel up. Day after
day the sun leapcd brazen, from the
horizon to the sky, his first level rays
searching out the scant, stored mois-
ture of whiting foliage, and the very
sap Of the hardy brush. While the cat
tie were still fat they became weak
and turned to cactus for nOurishment.
They broke down the sickly branches
with their horns and rubbed them in
the sand to free them of the worst of
the thorns. Herders rode the rounds
on weakening horses and dismounted
time and again to pull out spines from
the snOuts of passive, painting cows.
Bulls died of broken pride. They
would not subject themselves to the
pain of eating cactus. The river-the

bright shares Of pick or two caught
the light like lances. Most Of the men
depended on the heavy sheath knives
they carried at their sides. They
looked like an army OF sanscul0ttes
as they swarmed into the ditch and
began to dig. In two days they had
sunk it to the required level. When
they finished Gerry rode back with
them to help bring down Liebers
weakening stock.
Kemp had stayed in sole possession
at Lieber's. Digging was not in his
line, so he had volunteered to hold the
fort against the return of the garri-
son. He welcomed Lieber and Gerry
to a supper Of his own making in ap-
proved cowboy style: sOur-dough bis

the nicely ironed clothes on the rack
ever growing more and more is a con-
slant inspiration. You have something
to show for your work.
Today the woman who is her own
laundress eliminates all the work that
is possible, wearing crepe underwear
and dresses, thus cutting down the
ironing. At best, ironing, II we'll done,
is tiring work, but by planning and
forethought it may be made much
easier. Before beginning, see that all
things needed are at hand, fresh,
clean cover on the ironing board, wax
for the irons and, If 1t is possible, an
electric iron, for it saves much fatigue
walking back and forth getting fresh
irons, and bowl Of water and clean
cloth to dampen too dry spots or re-
move a soiled spot.
A high stool to sit on while ironing
is great strength saver, the feet may
rest on chair round and the small
pieces, napkins, handkerchiefs and
towels and pillow cases, ironed quite
as well as when standing.
When ironing the larger pieces fold
a thick rug in several folds and place
under the feet.
An electric mangle is wonderful
aid in the household that has much
laundry, for all the fiat pieces can be
quickly ironed and much better than
by hand work.
Have the ironing board of the right
height so that the work may be done
with the least possible fatigue. A
room well ventilated is another essen
tial in making ironing more comfort
able, and few minutes in a darkened
room on a comfortable couch will rest
one so that the work may be resumed
and finished without exhausting
fatigue.
