KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

Mrs. Hooper wanted machine that
would not strike" on wash day-one
that would work smoothly without
bitches so she was not attracted by sew
eral that were shown her that were
SNOWY" but obviously cheap in con-
structlOn.
what she finally decided on, was one
that had been tested and reco mmended
and would occupy only thirty square
inches Of space in the laundry. The
structural work was of iron mounted
on swivel casters, had a wIinger at
tached and was Of a good WORK ng height.
The motor was safely tucked away under
the tub and encased so as TO oe splash
proof on the whole IL was very good
looking, simple and safe to operate and
the cost of running it had been esti-
mated as % cents an hour when the
motor cylinder and wringer were all GO
ing at the same time. This would scarce
ly ever happen so that Mrs. Hooper fig
ured that , cents an hour would cover
the cost Of the power that did her wash

people. She had no idea Just how
serviceable a piece CT furniture he had
succeeded in making out of 1t for her.
He and Helen had been delightfully."-
mysterious about 1t all morning, and she
realized that the tea table was to figure
very prominently among her birthday
gifts on the morrow. After putting the
house to rights, which included prepar
ing the guest room for Auntie Belle who
would spend the night with them she
baked a frosted marble cake which with
its lighted candles always marked the
feast Of the birthday of every member Of
the Hooper family.
After luncheon she and Henry hur-
ried into town to select the washing ma
chine and close the negotiations that
would install it in their laundry on Mon
day ready for the washing on Tuesday.
They had done so much reading on the
subject that they realized that wash
ing machines are like people-none of
them perfect-but each one with its own
peculiarities and its own special virtues.
1t was therefore necessary to really Sc
lect from among a great number of ma
chimes or the market one that was built
for long life and satisfactory service, ac-
cordint to sciertif3 construction ideals
of hard wear.

McAdOO'S Views on
World Disarmament

Speak king at the mass meeting Of
the National League of Masonic
Clubs, former Secretary Of the Treas
ury w. G. McAdoo. said:
Disarmament or bust seems to be
the alternative the world is facing to-
day. The excessive taxation which
all nations are forced to bear from
wars already fought cannot be es-
capped, but excessive taxation in prep
aration for future wars that need not
be fought If there is any intelligent
craftsmanship left in the world, can
not be excused.
Prompt agreement between the
leading nations for disarmament
would lift a terrible burden from the
backs of the common people and
rapid improvement In the economic
situation would speedily follow.
There has never been time when
the world was so sick of war bur
dens and so willing to limit them as
now. The United States can do more
than any other power to bring about
a prompt reduction and limitation OF
ornaments. This was one of the
great things the League of Nations
sought to accomplish but, as the Sen
ate refused to ratify the treaty we
getting the result.
Senator Borah's proposal for an
agreement between Great Britain
and the United States to stop compe-
titlon in naval armament and to re-
duce naval expenditures offers a par
tial remedy. The Borah resolution
ought to be adopted and the United
States should be glad to take the
lead in this sane and humane effort.
Here is a chance to demonstrate to
the world the sincerity of our pro-
fessions in favor of world peace and
to bring about an annual reduction
of several hundred million dollars in
our naval expenditures. We should
not, of course, pursue a policy of in
dependent disarmament which would
place America at a disadvantage, but
no valid objection can be urged to
an immediate agreement between the
leading powers to reduce tax bur-
dens without imperiling the nations
safety or power Of defense.
The Christian sentiment of the
world demands that prompt mea sures
be taken to stop the criminal waste
of money on needless ornaments with
their cruel exactions of human sweat
and toll and misery.
