MAKING SPACE IN KITCHEN
Ingenious Arrangement of Requisite

Necessity for Large Room.

In these days when rents are so

The late Charles L. Van Loan In
youth developed considerable talent
for drawing. When he was fourteen

he would some day be great artist.
But he discovered that he could
write better than he could draw. and
thereafter he drew only TO amuse his

All his energies were bent toward

Many men are born with a little tai

Few men, however great. ever die

anything like the standards they set
for themselves.
There is always something still to
learn when the summons comes TO lay

PUT MUCH FAITH IN ACORN
In England It Is Looked Upon as

From Druidical times the acorn has
been held TO be q sure protection

umbrella tassels and blindcOrds still
attest. Even TO this day, in English

threatens, farm-laborers and others
will HE them TO the nearest oak tree,
gather an acorn and carry 1t about
with them till the sky clears. In many
parts of Great Britain q girl Tilted by

moon for a dried acorn beneath an

night in candle flame. reciting mean
while the following dOggerel: " IT'S not
