The efficient office Of today is
run largely by machinery. AL
most cry phase of its work is
simpln.ed and speeded up by ma
chimes and devices of one sort or
another, from pen points that
need not be dipped SO often TO
machines that not only add and
subtract, but multiply and divide.
Business letters may be dictated
into machines at any hour Of the

of the stenographer's time for

now saved and all her time is de-
voted to typewriting direct from

machine folds these letters, an
other seals the envelopes, another
addresses them, and another af-
fixes stamps to them.

Packing Campers
Food Box.

Packing the food basket or the
box for a camping trip should be
given great care. If carelessly done,
your trip will be more or less a fig
zIe because there will be bulky ar
ticles and parcels and unnecessary
receptacles.
The box is always an advantage
over a basket. For the box may be
destroyed. 1t is upright and more
easily packed Bundle handles
should be saved for carrying these
neatly packed, and securely tied
boxes. Each member of the party
should provide himself or herself,
with a collapsible drinking cup;
each knife, fork and spoon. These
should be carried in the pocket.
China dishes are not only heavy
and bulky, but easily broken. A
splendid substitute is the papier-
mache boxes. These are good for
salads, pickles, fruits, butter--in fact
any soft food which must be carried
in a non-leakable vessel. Paper nap
kins, paper plates and paper table
covers are much better than linen.
They, too, may be thrown away.
There are two. or more, brands Of

Snakes End Dance;
Girls and Partners
Leap Out Windows

Williamsville, Del, Aug a.
Who broke up the dance at Ellis
Brittingham's home and nearly
threw all the girls into hysteria by
slipping couple of husky, wrigglirg
blacksnakes through an open win.
dow
That's what the young people
want to know whose dancing was SO
rudely interrupted.
At one moment the room rang
with the strains of dance music. the
pat-pat-pat Of, trim, slippered feet
and the happy laughter of the
circling couples. At the next it
rang to a different tune.
A girl saw a long, sinuous body,
then another, drop from the will
dowsill She let out a screech that
would have done credit to a
Comanche Indian, and collapsed for
a moment in her partners arms.
Then, as one after another of the
girls saw the cause for her fright,
they joined in a chorus of screams
as they made for doors and witt
dows.
The latest styles in silk hosiery
were on exhibition as they clam
bered through windows, standing
not upon the order of their going.
When the male members of the
party saw the snakes, noted that
they were not pink or green, and
recollected that prohibition insured
their reality, they we're not far be-
hind the girls in reaching the win
dows.
1t is supposed that small boys
were the perpetrators of the job, l.
though because of the known oppo-
sition on the part of church men,
bers to dancing, some of the young
people are limiting that perhaps that
was the method taken to keep the
devil" away from the Williamsvi!le
young people.

kindergarten Helps for Parents.
BY DIR. WILLIAM BYRON FoRBUsH.
"He hasn't got him YETI was the
little boys delighted report each day
after looking in his nursery book and
discovering that the crocodile in the
picture had not vet caught up with
the plccaninry whom he was chas-
ing
why don't they get to church y
was another youngsters inquiry
after he had turned for several
weeks to Boughton's pilgrims Go
ing to Church" and wondered why
they did not arrive.
A third child put his hand pro,
tectingly over the pictured figure OF
a kid. to shield it from All eagle
and another child of Kindergarten
age has been known to try to tecd
a pictured animal.
These incidents suggests the rath,
err surprising fact that to small
child pictures are not merely SYM
bols. but part of his living world
At first he notes the similarity be-
tween the household pet and the
pictured cast more than he does
the difference and it is long time
before he grasps the idea that the
latter is only symbol.
1t is perhaps little dishearten-
ing to US adults, to whom pictures
have opened a world of Beauty, to
realize that it is their usefulness
and not their beauty which appeals
t. children up to E or 7 years OF
age To them, pictures are simply
something to play with, They
prefer to have them little because
they can handle them more easily.
For any practical end they do not
differ distinguishably from their
dolls.
Ninety-nine per cent Of the first
drawings of children are said to in
clude the human face. Their affec-
tons for readymade pictures are
similar; they like living creatures,
people and animals and birds, they
like them best in action. They like
only story pictures.
It is somewhat surprising to in
vestigators to discover that, in their
earliest interest in pictures, children
do not seem to have any marked
preference for the colored ones,
though later they exhibit an inter
est in bright crude colors.
In general, they are not curious as
to details. They will not notice
that a figure is armless, and as VIC
know so we'll, their own first draw
ings often have two eyes or ears on
the same side of a face. Yet they
do seem to single out the eye as an
object of ,peculiar interest. Did
you ever have your 2-year-old try
to stick his forefinger in your eye?
Little children often attempt the
same with a pictured eye.
The educational lessons which we
learn from these primitive tastes are
plain, and since, to the small child,
a picture is "the real thing" we
should select his pictures, as we
do his other toys, to help him in his
little world of experience. They
should represent the kind Of people
and pets whom he should love, en-
gagged in activities which he can un-
derstand. Simple Incidents, playful,
jolly and unselfish, should be our
choice, without reference to their
esthetic purpose.
While we need not strive to Sc
lect great art we may choose clear,
strong color and simple, well-drawn
action. Thus we can lay founda-
tons for appreciation of the beau
tiful.
Above all. each picture should
suggest a good story, and we should
give the story with the picture.

milk are an excellent substitute for
cream. Sugar should be packed in
a baking powder, tea or coffee can.
Cans are much lighter than glass
jars and need not be carried after the
contents have been used.
There are little solicited alcohol
or canned heat" apparatuses on the
market which are good substitutes
for gas stoves and are convenient
for heating water or food. When
the solidhed alcohol has been burn
ed out the cans are not saved.
Herewith are few suggestions
for the filling of the food box:
Canned soups Frankfurters.
Pork and Beans Summer sausage.
Sliced cornbeef or Salome sausPg e.
any cold meat. Potted meats
Ham sandwiches. Sardines.
Chicken sandwiches. Crackers.
Peanut butter sand Bread.
wiches Cheese.
Veal loaf Canned fruits
Pota to salad Fresh 1rult.
Chicken salad. Coffee.
Cucumbers Tea.
Pickles and olives. Coco
cake Eggs
Cookies Ham.
Picked lambs ton Bacon.
CUES.
Fish salads are not advisable un
less the ingredients are carried sep
arately in air tight cans and the
salad prepared just before eating.
Where there is no ice, fish foods are
,treacherous as they are much more
susceptible to atmospheric condl-
tons than red meats. Chicken keeps

however, keep sweet longer than
any other variety. Cured or smoked
sausages, with the exception of liver
sausage, are good for many days.
Select from the foregoing list,
what foods you like best, pack each
securely, wrap sandwiches and cakes
in tissue paper to keep flies and in
sects from foraging, pack neatly, tie
the box securely and we are off, at
last, for the camping trip.

The money so received is to be ex-
