Awkward Ways
Waste Energy

From buttoning shoes to washing
dishes, there is an easy and awkward
way of doing all work, as everyone
well knows. Now, along comes the
scientist, who says his experiments
show that, aside from feeling and
looking more comfortable when you
do your work in the right way, you
also save considerable energy.
This fact is one of several which
recent experiments made by the Office
of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have disclosed. These experiments
have been made for the purpose Of de-
termining the energy requirements OF
an individual in the various circuu-
stances of his daily life and for use
in estimating the amounts and kinds
of food required by him to meet the
needs of his body for energy.
1t was found that in the homelS
everyday task of dish washing when
woman washed dishes on a table sc
low that she was obliged to bend
over, her energy output was 80 cal
cries per hour. When she washed
them on a table that was little toe
high for comfort, it required rs cal
cries per per hour, while only Il cal
cries were used when the workine
surface was the right height.
1t doesn't take long 10 saw off the
legs Of a table or to put blocks under
it which will make it the right height

Suffragists Plan
Future OF Alliance

Two proposals of Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the Interna-
tional Suffrage Alliance, as to the
future disposition of the alliance,
have just been made public. The first
proposition is that the alliance being
no longer a necessary factor in the
woman suffrage movement, shall dis
solve at the end of it's eighth con-
vention which was held in Geneva re-
emily. The proposal also contains a
resolution that the international Coun-
Gil of Women be urged to have its
Committee on Woman Suffrage con.
tinue the alliance and aid women who
have not yet secured the vote.
To Aid Suffrage
The second proposition suggests
that inasmuch as the latin countries
have made little progress in the wo
man suffrage movement, the alliance
be continued with a view toward aid
ing unfranchised women of all coun
tries and to furnish medium of ex
change of reports, investigations and
studies among enfranchised women.
French Favor Alliance
The French women, who have moi
yet been enfranchised, are sending q
strong delegation to the Suffrage
Congress to support the second pro
posal. The French Woman Suffrage
Alliance wants to extend the aims OF
the international association to include
social and civil equality between the
sexes.
The International Woman Suffrage
Alliance has made 100,000,000 women

STRANGE FISHING

There is a species of shark known
as the hammerhead, which, in spite
of it's head, is fierce and wide awake
In certain waters of the South Pa.
cific lives a shark, resembling the
black nurse" shark of the Florida
and Gulf waters, which also mas a
remarkable head, because apparently
It is totally lacking in brains.
One party of fishermen were drift
ing slowly across a shallow lagoon
watching the branched coral shrubs
on the bottom, when the native pad.
dler pointed out a huge brown fish
sleeping down below on the sand.
Its a shark" he said, "and if you
will keep very still I'll catch it."
AS at that particular time there
was nothing in the boat but a coral
hook, a small rope and the paddles
the question as to how the catching
would be accomplished was something
of mystery to the visitors. But the
native soon made it clear.
Padding the boat to one side, he
allowed it to drift while he took the
small rope, tied it TO another piece
that he fished out of the locker, and
having made slip moose in one end,
fastened the other to the bow
Then bidding his passengers to keep
the boat as steady as they could, he
slipped overheard and proceeded to
the attack, single-handed, unai'med,
except for the slip moose.
To say that the watchers were as
tonished hardly expresses it. Not
knowing that the shark was brain
less and harmless, they thought the
deed heroic, if not suicidal.
They held their breath, expecting
every moment to see swirl in the
water, a fin and the native caught in
a pair of fearful jaws.

But the native was swimming soft.

the man dived, and they could see him
carefully approaching the big fish from
behind, moving slowly along near the
bottom.
Reaching the fish, he took the slip
moose and edged it beneath the Iona
lobe of the tail; then seeing that the
great sleeping creature did not move
he lifted the moose boldly, and with Il
quick jerk slipped it entirely over and
frightened it about the tail.
This woke the monster, and he
leaped, churning the water, and envel-
oping the native in a cloud of mud
out of which he popped like cork. He
grasped the gunwale and drew him
self in just as the light craft was
snatched ahead, and away they Went
in wild rase over the reef.
For few minutes it was wild In
deed. One man held his knife ready
to cut the rope should the steed reach
deep water and dive. But here they
were in shallow water, the shark in
plain sight, whirling in circles among
the coral heads or flashing straight
away through the open spaces making
the foam curl and their boat fly hiss
ing over the surface.
On he went, turning, rounding,
doubling, darting ahead, always to-
ward the sea outside the lagoon. But
suddenly he gave up. There was no
pluck, no fight in him. He had tired
himself out in his fight, and he al
lowed himself to be hauled to the
surface like a water-soaked log.
The hammerhead proved to be
eleven feet long. And his whole
eleven feet were utilized by the ma
tives.

CareleSsneSS with Matches

All matches are dangerous from a
fire standpoint The ordinary par
lor" matches take fire at a very low
temperature and can be lighted ir
many ways. They sometimes fall to
the floor unnoticed and are lighted
by being stepped on When one is
being scratched, part of the flaming
head may fly into some inhammabla
material. Children are fond of play
ing with matches and do not realize
the danger connected with them; even
babies soon learn by imitation to
strike them. Match holders should
be placed well out of reach of the
Younger members of the family.
Many fires are started by matches
carelessly thrown down while they
are still in. flame or before the stick
has ceased to glow. At all places in
the house where matches are usually
struck, a fireproof receptacle should
be provided for the burned matches,
and this should be emptied frequently
Smoking or striking matches in the
barns or stables should never be al
lowed. Nor should hired hands or
others be permitted to carry matches
loose in their pockets. If the carrying
of matches is necessary, insist upon
the use of a good metal match safe,

pulled from the pocket accidentally

kind, for they will not light except

French d dressing.

French dressing.
A delightful idea for serving fruit
salad is to put it into a scooped-out
pineapple In its making all of the
fruits are finely cut and seasoned and
then placed on the husk of the pine
apple. The strong, delicious odor of
the fruit permeates the whole con-
tents, and when served cold the salad
is very delicious.
To Bead a Velvet Bag
In beading a velvet bag stamp the
design on wrong side and it will be
easier to see.
To embroder Very Sheer Material
Basic material to be embroidered on
white waxed paper. This will be
found more convenient than embroid-
cry hoops, as the paper can be lett
on until the work is completed, and
can be folded without removing paper
from work.
Help for Hand-Hemmng
Before doing any hand-hemming l
run the article over with the mar
row hemmer on sewing machine with
out threading the needle. This meas
ures, turns and presses down the hem,
also sets a nice standard for the
length of the hand-stitches.
Nice, Sanitary Wash Cloth
Cut 15-inch squares of white mos.
quito netting and stitch them together
in thicknesses of four. You will be
surprised how soft they are. They
are very dainty with little crocheted
edge of pink or blue.
Good Hemsttching Trick
Basic hem the desired width. Then
with a large punch work needle hem
stitch, but do not catch in hem. When
finished, take a small needle and sew
the hem down, picking up the long
thread left by first work. This makes
beautifully hemstitched piece with,
out drawing the threads.

Memphis Establishes
Open-Air Markets

Two open-air consumers retail
markets for the direct sale of fruits
and vegetables by farmers to coE-
sumers have recently been established
at Memphis, Tenn, and placed under
the direction of competent superin-
tendent.
To be successful, projects of this
character must be conducted along
sound business lines, say experts of
the Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, who have
made study of the subject.
In the case of Memphis, those i'm
mediately concerned made a careful
examination of local conditions and
then communicated with the Bureau
Of Markets The bureau furnished
full data with regard to geenral mar
keting methods, and also had a rep
| resentative make a complete survey
and analysis of the situation on the
suggestion then offered as to
the precise steps that should be taken
to place the enterprise upon sound
basis.
The residents of Memphis are anx-
| ious to do something definite to help
bring down food costs, and the Blu
reau of Markets feels that if the en-
thusiasm and good business judgment
already displayed are continued the
objective sought will be attained.
Moreover, the establishment of these
two consumers retail markets is sim
ply beginning 1t is expected that
eventually not only will a we'll
equipped modern market in the down
town district be constructed but that
wholesale farmers market will be
erected and terminal market facilities
developed.

Asparagus should be cut of equal
lengths and boiled, standing ends up
ward in a deep saucepan. Nearly two
inches of the heads should be out or
the water, the steam sufficing to cook
them, as they form the tenderest
part of the plant. whilst the hard
stalky part is rendered soft and sue
culent by the longer boiling which
this plan permits. Instead of the
orthodox 20 minutes allotted to
average asparagus by cooking hori
zontally, which half cooks the stalks
and overcooks the heads, diminishing
its flavor and consistence, a period OF
80 or 40 minutes on the plan recon-
mendedwill render fully one-third
more of the stalk delicious, whilst the
head will be properly cooked by steam
alone.
If the tips only are to be used, cut
the tender points in pieces one-fourth
of an inch long. The harder portions
