standstill before the door of a little room
which had the appearance of having
been lifted up bodily from some other
locality and set down in the midst of thai
vast white space. The upper part of the
door was open, Dutch fashion, and we
peered in at "The Home Cooking De

more nor less than model electric

Each Combination Has
Its Own Difficulties

If the housekeeper can afford three
servants the matter is comparatively
simple. This gives her cook and
second girl and nurse, making fairly
equitable division of the labor of the
household. No difficulty is made by any
of the three on the score of "more work
because of the children"
For the working mother, she who goes
daily to shop or factory, the solution is
also simple and obvious. She takes her
children to one of the very excellent day
nurseries and goes about her work as

Will Fire Get You?

Is your property going to be
burned this summer?
1t will depend largely upon your
own and other peoples careful
ness. That's why you are inter-
ested in fire prevention and other
safety measures. We handle fire
in this country much as a Ma
tional plaything.
The grown-ups play with gaso
line, gunpowder and matches and
the children follow close behind
with hrecrackers, bonfires, camp
fires, etc.
We are a fire loving people and
that is probably why our fire losses
are the heaviest of any nation
That is also why we must school
ourselves in fire prevention meas
ures. Teach the children and
teach the adults that fire is dan
gerous and that taking chances
with it is almost as much of a
crime against the community as
leaving a dangerous bomb to ex-
plode among helpless people

Handy Plant in Desert,

In the desert of Sonora, Mexico.
there is a plant, the guarequi, which
husbands its water supply. The guare-
qui is relative of the squash and
pumpkin, and inhabits a locality in
which practically all the rain falls
within period of six weeks. The
base of the stem is swollen to form a
hard, woody structure, which in time
attains the size of a large squash. 1t
is really nothing more than vegeta-
Bile reservoir designed to hoard up the
seanty moisture and dole out the
precious fluid in time of need.
