ROUTE NEWS

Owing to inclement weather and
impossible roads the motor-cade
of autoists from Lordsburg, Dun
,an, Stafford, Bowie and other
points in Arizona was postponed,
however, a committee from Lords
burg and several from Stafford put
in some hard blows in FL Paso this
week during the American Nation
al Live Stock Association cOnven-
tion, telling Ell Paso of the pro-
posed changes in the Borderland
route and the actual road work
west Of Lordsburg, tending to make
the coastwise road from this city
one of the best in the southwest.
Following the call of Lordsburg
to the road enthusiasts in Arizona
a large number of responses were
received but owing to the condi-
tions of the roads all concerned
gave up the proposed motor trip.
Word from Duncan
Joseph l. Cohn, secretary of the
Duncan Improvement Club in let
ter to the Lordsburg Chamber of
Commerce, stated that the Duncan
club had called a meeting to talk
over the road matter and gave the
proposed trip its hearty recon-
mendation.
Dell Potter Wires
Dell M. Potter of Clifton, wired
an extensive telegram telling of
flood conditions at Clifton making
it impossible for a delegation from
that place to be present, and Civ
ing Lordsburg assurance of Cliff
toms hearty cooperation. Mr.. Pot
ter stated that at latter date he
is confident great results will be
obtained from the proposed motor
trip.
K. w. Smith, secretary of the
Stafford, Ariz. Chamber of Com
merce advised that a meeting OF
the board of directors of their com.
mercial club was held and appoint.
ed delegate to meet the Lordsbure

er, published the Lordsburg Cham
ber of Commences letter in hil
newspaper and also assured Bo
wie's cooperation in the matter O.
fair play in coast-bound traffic.
Deming Gives Publicity
The Deming Graphic published
an article in its issue of Frida,
telling of Lordsburg's objection
to the proposed change in the Bor
derland and of the auto trip whicl
was planned for Monday but whicl
had to be abandoned.
The Ell Paso Herald published
very complete article telling o
the road work now being done Oh
the Borderland and ocean-to-oceal
route, which was very valuable ad
vertising for Lordsburg and will
do much good in letting autoist
know of the excellent road nov
under construction.

winsome Bluebird. Just before he
reached the Old Orchard he saw Win
some fly down, pick up a worm and hy
to the top Of a fence post. Peter headed
straight there.
"Oh, winsome." said he as he reached
the post on which Winsome was sitting,
Il was on my way to look for you In
the Old Orchard. went to call on you
the other day and found that you are
not living in your old home. Please tell
me where you are living, Winsome. so
that ] may call once in a while to pass
the time of day.
There was a sparkle of mischief in
Winsome's eyes as he replied: I'm al
ways glad to have a call from you,
just come over here. You will hnd me
here or hereaboutS."
But where is your homer persisted
Peter. -.-
"Ah" replied winsome. THAT is a
secret. 1t is not far from here. So as
said before, when you want to make a
call you will be pretty sure to find me
somewhere about here. Yos know I'm
very fond of sitting on fence posts
This was quite true. Peter had noticed
that many times. Now the post where
-Winsome was sitting was only little
way out from the Old Orchard. THAT
means" thought Peter. that the new
home is in one of the trees on the very
edge Of the Old Orchard. for Winsome
is not one to go far from home" So
with very wise look Peter said good
trees in the Old Orchard. There he
found a place where he could keep
quite out Of sight. and there he hid to
watch for Winsome Bluebird to visit
his new home. And Peter thought him
self very clever and smart

The Portable Kitchenette.

A bachelor architect. who Is also an
amateur painter and worker in metals,
has devised for his artistic studio what
he calls portable" kitchenette. A sin

form Of high chest with sliding shelves.

mans left elbow as he sits at table enter
taining his guests and cooking their din
ner at the same time.
The top of this chest is covered with a
square piece of asbestos, and on 1t stands
the stove, one of the simple 'hot-plate"
gas affairs that may be bought for IS
cents This is attached with an ordinary
tubing to the gas fixture over the table.
but the convention Of this wonderful little
stove ends there. With four sheets OF
copper. attached to the bottom sides. and
fitting very closely. the architect has ar
ranged the under space for baking, the
stove legs being high enough for the
purpose.
The door of the baker Is detachable.
and in this crude little hole squads are
broiled, small chickens roasted. macaroni
baked, bacon sizzled and eggs cooked SUE
lie Fat.
The chest shelves are made Of bread

easily, and all of the cooking convenienres
are of very sophisticated sort, although
limited in number. When the cooking is
going on. a shelf is pulled out near the
table side to hold the various utensils
used, and as fast as one course is dis
patched the dishes are neatly piled on
to lower shelf in the chest. clean ones
coming out from another department.
Not once does this wonderful cook with
bis ingenious apparatus get up during the
meal. Everything is to his hand, al
though he confesses that each dish is
prepared elsewhere before the cooking be-
gins. On one occasion this wee peram
bulating kitchen, which slips around cas-
lily on rollers. turned out dinner of six
courses: Soup. filet of sole, stuffed ton,a-
toes. broiled chicken, herring and potato
salad and jam omelet. An engaged girl
being present at the feast and praising
the movable kitchen in the highest terms,
the clever host promised her one as
wedding gift. What present could be
more appropriate, even If bride expects
to set UP quite fine house? There are
always side uses for the ktchenette.

ordinary sport suit. in that a norfolk.
Russian or MILDLY blouse is developed
with simple gathered or pleated skirt
But once the sport dress was intro
duced and women discovered 1t was
possible to have q garment that to all
outward appearance was a modish
semi-tailored suit, but that in reality
was an all-in-one garment, wearing
which they might indulge in golf or
any other of their favored sports and
come unrumpled from the game, the
widest possible fabric range was to be
expected.
The sport dress shown is a one-piece
affair, inasmuch as the bodice lining. to
which the skirt is attached, is Joined at
the armhole to the chic jacquette, the
sleeve seams securing them.
The fabric employed for this little
frock is navy serge. Six and a half
yards Is required, which, at SLIPS a yard,
amounts to about $8.25. Three-quarters
of yard Of checked ta1eta. in green
and blue trims the frock, and at $1.50 a
yard this would be about 81. Estimat-
ing lining, thread. etc. at 50. the dress,
IL built at home, would cost S12.75.
The skirt is four and a half yards
wide. finished, and the sleeves, cut bell
shape at the wrist, give arm play and
freedom required in a garment for
sport wear. The generous pockets, en-
phasized by the hip-length inner pan
els Of silk. should be regarded as more
for show than use. II the frock's owner
would avoid losing the original chic
and close-reefed silhouette.

Large Plaids Are Liked.

The main difficulty about the ma
jority of fashionable topcoats is that
they cannot be worn with the majority
of fashionable skirts. and both of these
garments when intended for country
wear have the surfaces broken UP with
plaids and stripes in vivid colors. 1t
is, therefore. considered better to wear
a skirt with a broken design beneath a
coat of a solid color, and the other way
around.
AS for the hat. the broad -brimmed
sailors that have superseded nearly ell
the others for country wear can be as
gorgeous as a bird of paradise. and
yet can be chosen Independent Of the
costume. The more you look like a
brilliant jungle bird the better you are.

that was to get home as quickly as he

all his fright and trouble and that he
hadn't found out what he started to
