KITCHEN PARKING SPACE.

| IF ever / have a chance to build
kitchen, I'm going to fly in the face of the
efficiency experts and have plenty of
waste space in it," says a woman who has
been trying to adapt modern factory
methods to housekeeping. THE compact
kitchen is all right up to the point of
getting the meal on the table. Then
there's no place to park the plates of salad
while they're waiting to be served, and
when the table is cleared there's no place
to park some of the dishes while you're
rinsing and stacking the others. Parking
space for kitchens. is my motto"
The hOmely truth which many women in
modern kitchens are discovering is that
the roomy old-fashioned workshop had
few advantages after all. Women who
build today are apt to make their kitchens
little bigger than those recently con-
structed. They route them so that the
preparation of the meal may be done in
small and compact space, but they leave
little room to breathe in.
y writer in the Ladies' Home Journal
pleads for the same space, though she uses
another figure. She says:
Before each meal there is always fleet

for sailing directly to the dining table.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Writing to the conference of town and
county administration at the University of
North Carolina, President Harding re-
marks:
There has been an inevitable tendency.
because of the overwhelmingly important
work which confronted the national gov
eminent, to rely unduly upon it for the
performance of many functions which can
only be discharged properly by local adj
ministrative entities"
The tendency has long been noted, and
has grown rather than diminished with
the increasing burdens of the federal gov
eminent. The very fact that the work at
Washington has become so 'overwhelm-
ingly important" in these war and recon
struction years is stronger reason than
ever why cities and states should do their
best TO take care of their own affairs, in
stead of trying to pass the buck" to
Uncle Sam.
1t may be Observed too, that local com
munities are usually better able to ham
die their problems than the national gov
eminent is to do it for them. in spite of
the fact that Washington has great re-
sources of money and talent to draw upon.
and federal efficiency at its best is very
high, Local interest. local knowledge and
local talent are usually capable of meeting
local situations, if the citizens only think
so, And by facing local difficulties and
overcoming them, local citizenship-which
Is really the only citizenship there is
grows and strengthens.
Local government, is the stronghold of
democracy. Federal government itself
would break down eventually if it were
not fed continually from a thousand local
springs of good citizenship and admins
trative efficiency.

The Meddier
"If the coat FITS you. put it on"

The Meddler is wholly in agreement
with the statement that the shortage of
housing facilities is one of Brattleboro's
biggest problems at the present time, but
he is somewhat doubtful whether the lack
Of building is due wholly to the high cost
of labor In fact, it is only fair to say
that while wages of carpenters, painters
and other building trades here are much
higher than they were before the war they
never reached the excessive heights that
were touched in other places even in Yer
mont and at present are lower than in
many towns where drops from the war
time level already have occurred Why
more new houses are not going up in Brat
tleboro at the present time is a difficult
question to answer, but it is probably due
as much as anything to the feeling of I'M
certainty that has peEvaded the entire
sion. Persons with capital to invest have
besitated to put it into real estate requir-
ing considerable attention when there was
such a good opportunity for large interest
returns in the securities market Then
too, rents in Brattleboro on the whole
have advanced much less than they have
in other communities and the net returns
on local real estate investments in uumer-
Gus cases are considerably less than they
we're in pre-war DAYS

about the proposed assassination of

it had-but wherein is there any hope of

These facts may partially explain but
do not relieve the local housing situation,
which is steadily growing more acute, and
if Brattleboro is to continue to grow. as
it now seems in a better position to do
than ever before. something must be done
to make it possible for newcomers to find
places in which to live. The local build
ing and loan association is doing much to
provide facilities for prospective home
builders, but the amount of money it has
to loan is gagged by the number of share
holders and its greatest task has been to
secure funds enough to meet the demands
upon it.
