Cooperative
housekeeping
By LoRETTo c. LYNCH.

an Expert on all Matters Having to De
With the Home.
There is a marked difference be-
tween cooperative housekeeping
and imposing upon the good nature
Of the neighbors.
have in mind woman who bor-
rows her neighbor's electric iron
each week. She never has the de-
cency to send the iron to the repair
shop when it needs a thorough
overhauling. Instead, she sends it
back with Really, ! do not know
what is the matter with your iron
it doesn't seem to work right at
all today"
/ believe one reason two families
find it difficult to live in the same
home, is because they disregard the
rights Of ownership. 1t seems to be
part and parcel of human nature to
take advantage of kindness if one
allows it.
In one suburb I know four fam
lilies who live in an apartment
house. They have lived in this
same house for several years. Long
ago they decided that they ought
to have certain labor-saving de-
vices. And since they are not rich,
they decided to purchase these ar
ticles on the cooperative basis.
And so they drew up regular con-
tract, a copy of which each re-
ceived. They had to purchase on
the installment plan. One family
paid the installment the first week,
another the next, and so on. while
all used the labor-savers IN turn
and only had to meet the payment
once each month instead of once
each week.
But, of course, repairs when they
were needed were made and the ex-
pcnse shared by the others. 1t hap
pened recently that one OF the
families found it necessary to move
to another city. And so the depre-
citation was agreed upon and the
others bought out the fourth's share
for a small sum each.
By this system the housewives
were able to have the use of
vacuum cleaner, a bread mixer, an
electric iron, washing machine
and mangle, sewing machine and
phonograph. Not one of the fam
lilies could have possessed these
things individually. Yet, by coop
Grafton, each enjoyed the last word
in modern housekeeping devices.
Many women have said to me: 1t
is all very we'll to recommend these
labor-savers, But the average family
that must pay rent and buy food
and clothing absolutely cannot pur-
chase any one labor-saver, not to
mention half a dozen. Yet, it is
these not-well-to-do women who are
,he very ones who need these helps,
for they must do all the housework
without the luxury of the once-a-
week cleaner of the more pros
perous. And cooperation seems to
be the only solution.
But, perhaps, you do not like the
woman upstairs or next door. There
are very few people in the business
world who particularly like their
reiehbors or associates. Yet, they
10 business and get along.
So also should housewives who
desire cooperative housekeeping
put aside personal likes and dis
likes and view the thing unemo-
tionally from business standpoint.
Cooperative housekeeping is COM
ing. And the woman of today
should realize its benefits and start
the ball rolling in the right direc-
ton.

For Canned Goods

Neat, easy to read labels on
canned fruits and vegetables and
jellies are great convenience to the
housekeepcr when she goes hurried
ly to her preserve clos@ to choose a
jar for use. Moreover, they provide
an excellent means for recording the
method used in preserving and any
variation from the usual recipe.
These are important points nova
days when canning practices are be-
coming more scientific and various
kinds of swecteners are used in place
of sugar. The date also is an I'M
portant item. Here are examples
of well-arranged labels:

HOLD REAL ESTATE
 DEALER FOR THEFT

On a warrant issued by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney E. Earle Gar. lick, Charles Grimwood, a real estate dealer of 527 Fairfield avenue, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of having violated the condi- tionaI bill of sale law. In the City Court this morning the case was con- tinued until tomorrow and bonds were fixed at $500.
 The arrest of Grimwood seems to have been brought about by a long series of complicated sales involving g an automobile and two pieces of heav- fly mortgaged real estate. Civil &C., ton may follow the procedure in the City Court
 According to the police version of the affair, John B. Johnson of 1S8 Wheeler avenue purchased on Over land automobile from Harry Ford of 445 Stra.tford avenue on a conditional bill of sale last summer. In Novem Der, 1919, Johnson Swapped the ma chine to Grin1wood for a. house in the East Side. JohnSons troubles seem to have started right there. It is al- legged that the house was mortgaged for practically all if not really more than it was worth. Johnson sSckened of his bargain and traded the house for three building lots in Bethany Chapel. These lots were represented as being worth S1 ,5G0, but it is said that they were later found to be val ued at S300 and aM mortgaged. John
