forth, to and fro, and for what?
Wearing out shoes, carpets and
nerves, just because the kitchen
sink has not been put in its place.
It's fine art to have things handy.
The thrifty workman studies his
work to see how he can cut it down,
keeping tools in good condition,
but near by.
A certain business man in New
York cannot dictate a letter. He
writes it out long hand, and has his
stenographer copy it. His tele-
phone is on the wall twenty feet
from his desk, which is piled high
with old letters and papers. He
has to hunt to find things. He is
wasting time, nerve force and
patience, just because he can't get
his kitchen sink adjusted right.
The problem of all business
from running home to running a
railroads. to cut out waste of
time and material, to get kitchen
sinks where they belong. Lost
motion is costly, it racks the
machine, human as we'll as in
animate. Mary would have carried
her kettle from the stove to the
sink in the dark corner a dozen
times in washing the dishes. Now
she doesn't carry it at all. She
has solved her problem.
Your problem is the same in
essence. Learn how to use the
telephone, the typewriter. the
carbon sheet. Learn where to keep
your tools as we'll as how to keep
them. Study short cuts. Eliminate
false steps. Do things the easiest
(but the best) way. Save your
strength for useful purposes.
Study your job, whatever it be, for,
whether it be big or little. it has
the problem of Mary's kitchen
sink, and lucky for you if you get
it in the right place.

THE voter is rightly skeptical OF
the value of proposed amendments
to the state constitution, there too
often being a Joker in them which
the lay mind is unable to fathom.
The result is that most proposed
amendments fail to carry at an
election. Next fall there will be
eight to be voted upon, and atten-
ton has been directed to the third
in the list particularly, as it will,
if adopted, make it possible for the
state to sell ore under the lakes,
the receipts to be added to the
school fund. There does not ap-
pear to be any reason why this
DOW er should not be granted. It
is probable that an educational
campaign will be conducted before
the election in the interests of
these amendments, which should

Mary is the wife of a country
storekeeper. She keeps the house,
takes care of the children and helps
wait on the store. She works hard
harder than her husband, and he
works harder than he should.
Up to the present they have had
few of the conveniences of life.
Water came from a nearby spring.
and the housework was done under
distressing conditions, owing to the
greed of the landlord. He finally
agreed to put in the improvements
so necessary to human comfort,
and Mary's life promised to become
easier. The problem was where to
put the kitchen sink.
Now Mary had favorite rocking
chair that had a mortgage on the
corner. Next came the stove. then
her kitchen cabinet. To put the
sink in the corner would disturb
the rocking chair, and that would
never do. The stove and the
cabinet could not be moved; there
fore it was resolved. after much
deliberation, to put the sink in an
adjoining room, in dark corner
thirty feet from the stove. This,
of course, meant miles of walking
every day for Mary, but she could
find no other way. But kindly
inclined friend, who could study a
job, suggested moving the cabinet
just one foot and putting the sink
between the stove and the cabinet,
where it belonged. It was done,
and, behold. Mary is a happy,
rested woman.
Now, what is the moral of it all?
Just this: Too many women walk
too much on their jobs, which job
consists in getting the Homework
done in the shortest time and with
the least expenditure of energy.
Why should Mary-why should
any woman-walk half a mile in
getting dinner? A pan in one
place, pot in another, -four, sugar
and salt in another. Back and
