tell me that in flight they go sixty

Where Do You Put Things?

Doesn't it seem as if in some house,
holds all the supplies were Ingenious
ly placed SO as to require the most
steps when it came time to use them,
and as If in arranging the pots and
pans and cooking utensils in the
kitchen the idea had been TO give
cook or housewife a systematic course
in physical culture every day. Such
leaning over and STOPPING and reaeh-
Ing and SO many steps to take! No
doubt the trouble is in those house,
holds that when it comes time to put
in place the housewife does not use
her imagination. She puts things
where there seems to be suitable
space for them, regardless of where
they will be most convenient when 1t
comes time to use them.
What she ought to do is first Of
all to picture to herself where she
will be when she wants to use them
and then to find the most convenient
possible place, or. II she has no con-
venient shelf or cupboard. to see that
one is provided at a convenient place.
For instance. all the things that she
or cook will need In the process of
Washing dishes should be arranged
about the kitchen sink. And they
should be so arranged that the mini
mum of stopping and reaching is re-
quired. There should be a convenient
soap dish, place for securing things
and for the little box Of silver polish
that must be used every day on the
spoons and forks that become tar
nished, so that general silver cleaning
will be only an occasional event.
In some houses the place for the
kitchen tins and kettles is in the
lower part Of the kitchen cupboard.
This means that some one has to
stoop down every time that one of
these things Is needed and then must
stoop down again when they have
been cleaned and dried. This STOPPING
Is Unnecessary. Your kitchen cooking
things-save those that you use only
on rare occasions-should be placed
where you can reach them convenient
ly from the stove or the cooking
table.
On your kitchen wall you can have
q board on which may be screwed
row Of hooks from which the pots
and pans may be hung. Kitchen knives
and forks should DO placed in the
drawer Of the kitchen table. where
they will be right at hand when you

in such manner as to be liable to

FACTOR into the solution of the
future labor problem of Wash
ington by the creation of a Junior de-
partment. Under the supervision of
Mrs. A. Y. Reed, whose experience
along this line in the schools of New

efficient co-workers w. Woelpper,

w. Mason, head Of the control divi-
sion, and Misses Moor and Markoe,
who are in charge of the work in this
city, the junior department is already
success in Washington, as it has
proved in Providence and Pittsburgh.
The secret of this success lies in the
fact that it has broken away from
the old methods Of employing labor.
inasmuch as it is adding guidance to
placement. and by combining sympa-
