PARKING AUTOS

Now that the baseball season is about to-open, it would be well for the town official upon whom the duty devolves to see that the motor ve- hicle laws are enforced, as they re- kte to parking cars at the ball grounds. Last year there was always considerable congestion of traffic by cars parking on both sides of the road near the grounds when game was in progress. This was not only in violation of the law, but menace to public safety, nearly resulting in a fatal accident when a child was run down.
 The law relating to parking cars reads as follows:
 Sec. 21. No vehicle shall be permitted to remain stationary upon the travelled portion of any highway except upon the right hand side of such highway in the direction in which such vehicle is headed; and if such highway is curbed, such vehicle shall be so placed that it's right hand wheels, when stationary, shall be within distance of twelve inches from the curb when safety will permit. No vehicle shall be permitted to re- main stationary upon the tra- veled portion of any highway at any curve or turn, or at the top of any grade, where clear view of such stationary vehicle may not be had from a distance of at least one hundred and fifty feet in either direction. No vehicle shall be permitted to remain stationary upon the travelled portion of any highway within fifty feet of the point where another vehicle Is stationary on the opposite side of the travelled portion of the same highway. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit vehicle from stopping or being held stationary, by any legal authority, or in an emergency to avoid acci- dent, or to give right of way to any vehicle or pedestrian as pro- vided in this act, or on any high way within the limits of an incor- porated city, town or borough where the parking of vehicles is regulated by local ordinances.
 A fine of not more than $50 is, tht penalty for the violation of such act But there should be no necessity o- violating the act, as there is req sonable amount of space for parking ears on the grounds. The problem is to warn motorists and keep then moving or ask them to enter thu field and pay the usual admission which a small minority dislike yer! much to do.

ELECTRIC FOUNTAIN
 LATEST DECORATION

One of the latest things in table decorations is a small electric fountain of very attractive design. A little cleo tric motor is directly connected with a small rotary pump that forces the water from the well up into a ring fitted with about 20 small nozzles. The height of the water is regulated by a valve on the supply ring in the basin.
 The well is of copper and fits within a jardiniere; about one quart of water is used in the small fountains opera tion The overflow leads back into the reservoir so that the same water is used over and over again. In summer the addition of a little ice and small amount of pefume disseminateS a de- lightfully cool and refreshing atmos- phere about the room.

ELECTRICITY WILL
 ID MOST ANYTHING
 AT MOST ANY TIME

If you recall ''The Mikado" you will not have forgotten Pooh-bah, that classic dignitary in whose person were assembled most of the official appoint ments of the Flowery Kingdom. Pooh bah was a little of everything. The modern electric grill is the same. It is very versatile in the number and va riety of it's accomplishments. There are round grills with four heats, square grills that cook three things at once, and rectangular grills capable of two cookery processes at the same time.
 And the things these small Pooh bahs will dol Fancy having such small appliances cook and deliver right at table an entire meal with all the flavor in it. When you consider how much savorless, poorly cooked food finds it's way to tables form various kinds of kitchens, it's a wonder folks have sur vived as well as they have.
 The most important result of cook cry is to bring out new f1avors. A bit of bacon in it's raw state is not very appetizing, but put several slices below the heating element of an electric Srlll, scramble some eggs properly in pan above the element, toast some bread the correct way, make coffee in a Ter coIator and you have an appeuzlng breakfast fit for the gods. Then best of all, it has been prepared right at table, with no Soot smoke or dust or ashes, without any or the py -pNouuCtS of combustion.
 The result we want to achieve in food preparation is to get out of our foods the highest nutritiVe value, the best quality and the most satisfaction they are capable of yielding. Good cookery depends less on knowing many different recipes word for word then on being familiar with the general laws in cooking different classes of foods, such as meats, cereals and eggs.
 The portability of the electric grill IS an important feature. What pleasant thing it is nowadays to prepare meal wherever it is wanted instead of always in a kitchen. With an electric grill ana a. convenient outlet hostess may have her Sunday evening tea in the dining room in the den or a cosy corner or the sun parlor. She can make 1t a Joliy little feast. whetting the appetite with savory whiffs of food cooked in the cleanest way, with the cleanest kind of heat.

PHOTOGRAPHY GETS
 IMPETUS FROM WAR

The greatest stimulus in the history of mankind was given to surgery ana medicine during the war. Through the agency of X-rays, electricity, heat ana light radiations, together with mess ages, many thousands of wounded soldiers have been saved from life or hopeless misery. The X-ray has now become as indispensable to the surgeon as the dressing or the splint and 1t is an essential adjunct in prescribing and directing as well as in avoiding opera tions.
 The X-ray detection of embedded bullets and shell fragments in any part of the body became so certain in the war as to be commonplace. Further more a new branch of radiography has developed during the last year or two in the application of X-rays to the st11dy of materials and structures. This new science of industrial radiography has a promising future before 1t.

The electric stove is no novelty in the kitchens of the West, while. in the East it is gaining ground year by year, especially small stoves or cookers that permit oven baking and the use of at least two hot plates on top. Such stove benefits the housewife in the following manner: First, there is no waste heat. therefore she works in cool kitchn. Second, absolute cleanli- ness is possible at all times. Third, labor is reduced to a minimum because an electric stove is always ready Fourth, with no flame there is safety. Fifth the character of the stove per mits more time for social duties.
 Summing up therefore, it is evident that an electric stove is safer, superior and socially more acceptable, big time and labor saver as compared with old time stoves. Without dirt, ashes, gases or smell it makes an ideal addi- tion to a clean and well kept house.

Progress made in elevator develop ment has been truly marvellous. The largest system in the world, according to the Edison Monthly, is the installa- ton of 96 "operatorless" elevators at hte Brooklyn Army Supply base. These are set in banks of ten-each bank be- ing handled by a central dispatcher instead of ten individual operators. On these elevators is a micro" leveling equipment which automatically con- trols the floor leveling of the car to the extent that each elevator is brought to within @ quarter of an inch of the floor level without the attendance of an operator or guard.

the air of the home is purer. As 1t is small, no kitchen is crowded by its use. As it is scientific in construc- ton and operation, it means that the housewife can predetermine results with certainty in roasting, baking or stewing. You can cook by the clock ;s a phrase quite justifiable. now.
 As the kitchen is really laboratory in which foods are prepared to stim- ulate appetite and induce digestion, 1t is a fine thing to realize that the cleo tric stove, one of the highest scien- tific products. can be installed to put all of the cookery processes on a de- pendable basis.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS ON
CHRISTIAN SCHOOL UNDER WAY

Extensive improvements on the
LINDEN Christian School are under
way, that will increase the capacity
of the building MANIFOLD.
A large basement is being built,
and two hot air furnaces will be in
stalled, together with modern vent
ilation system.
The roof of tie building will be
taken off, and new flat one built
in anticipation of the necessity of ad-
ding another story. An addition to
the back is also under way, so that
the building will he square.
The call for bids for contracting
the remodelling work did not meet
with any degree of success, so that
the board appointed Ed Hoekstra to
take charge of the construction.
Carpenters from the milk plant
building are now working at the
school, as the brick-layers' strike
is holding up that work.

SUGGEST THAT CITY
BUY HAWLEY'S PARK
Proposal Made To Community Club
That Site Be Purchased for Perm
anent Recreation Center

To purchase Hawley's Park as a
permanent park for the City of Lyn-
den and its surroundings, was the
proposal laid before the Community
Club at it's meeting Monday evening.
A special session of the executive
committee of the Club has been cal
led for Tuesday evening at S o'clock
at the LyndeH State Bank to consider
the proposition.
With its grove of trees and its
ball grounds, Hawley's Park would
make an ideal recreation ground for
the people of the district, it was
pointed out at the meeting. 1t is
right in town, and can be easily
reached. About five acres are in
cluded in the tract.
The need of a park of this kind
properly fitted up and maintained is
becoming more and more evident ev-
cry year. as the groves around Lyn-
den are being cut down. Because of
ings on the grounds. the Fair Board
has been reluctant lately to permit
the Fair Grounds TO be used by pic
mics of churches Sunday Schools, and
other societies, and there is no other
site that is close in and easily access
ible which can be used for this pur-
pose but Hawley's Park.
1t was shown that the grounds
could be beautified. Fairgrounds for
the children laid out, and other i'm
provements made if the Park We're
owned by the city. Maintenance in
the future might be provided by es-
city park board, and pro-
a levy of one or two mills to
keep up the grounds.
W. H. NAPLES, E. Edison, P. NJ.
Serrurier and H. H. Jameson are
the present owners of the Park site.

BRICKLAYERS' STRIKE
DELAYS MILK PLANT
Seattle Unions on Strike Won't Per-
init Members To Work on Lyn-
den Building

A bricklayers' strike at Seattle is
holding up the construction of Lyn-
den's big powdered milk plant, and
the delay is disturbing the dairynen
of the county.
A loss of two weeks was caused by
the failure of consignment of tile
to arrive. When the tile arrived a
few days ago, the head mason sent
to Seattle for bricklayers to rusr the
work. But the brieklayers of Sc
attic and the Master Builders are in
an argument just now. The Brick
layers Union only wants to work five
days week, but the Master Builders
want the men to work five and one
half days. so the Union is striking.
The mason at the plant is Master
Builder. but as Lynden is out of the
Seattle Bricklayers' Unions juris-
diction, he thought he could engage
Seattle masons here. But during the
delay caused by the tardiness of the
tile in arriving. the Union passed a
resolution against Union man work
ing during the strike for any Master
Builder, even out of Seattle's jur-
isdiction, until their demands are
met.
An effort is being made to get Lyn-
den and Bellingham masons to do
the work.
