WALKS 1S1 MILES IN

Could Stop Constant Walking Grind
BY Using Home Convenience.

Walking ISL miles in year to set
the three meals of the day is the ex-
perience of many housewives accord
ing to a report received by the EX-
tension Service Of the State College.
This was not all done at one time
but at three periods of the day when
meals and dishes were carried from
Ike kitchen to the dining room, morn
ing, noon and night. 1t didn't seem

but when figured in a years time it
made a real trip.
TO figure out the distance and time
saved in using utility table Mrs.
Brink served the same meal two diff
ferent days and kept a record on the
number of steps taken and the time
consumed in performing the task. It
required 40 steps between kitchen

and dining room to set and clear the
table, and took eighteen minutes in
time without the use of the utility
table. When she used the utility
table, it reduced the distance to 40
steps and the time to minutes.
Using the basis of 44O steps which
average two feet in distance. for one
meal, and applying this to three
meals per day for the year, Mrs.
Brink walked 1915 miles during the
year to set and clear the table. By
using the utility table the same work
was performed with only 40 steps or
reduced to miles in the year, 16.5 in
stead of 1915.
When it is possible to lop off 1861
miles of travel on foot during the
year, and 1925 hours of working time
the utility table may be considered
time saver as well as foot saver.

The Department of Licenses, under
Director Fred ]. Dibble, has COM
menced statewide crusade against
violation of state license laws. 1t is
estimated, for instance, that several
hundred small shopkeepers are sell
ing patent medicines and drugs with
out a license. Litigation gave many
BARRIERS an idea they did not require
q license, but the department is en-
forcing the law. Incidentally barber
schools in Seattle, Tacoma and SpJ-
kane have agreed not to graduate
students until they procure state H.
cense. There also has been much
electrical work done by unlicensed
persons. AS a rule those engaged in
licensed professions are obeying the
law, it is said.

Supreme Courts Big Task.

With 216 cases on the calendar, an
increase in the number of en- banc
hearings and a growing tendency on
the part of lawyers to add to the bust
ness on motion day, there is a strong
probability that the January term of
the supreme court will be prolonged
until near the time for beginning the
May term.
Very few people-even lawyers
know how the justices of the Supreme
Court work, though in general way
attorneys realize that each justice
this year will be compelled to write
so or more decisions-far more than
Supreme Court justices of other
states do.
The Supreme Court is divided into
two departments of four associate
justices each with the Chief Justice
presiding over and making the fifth
member of each department The de-
partments sit alternate weeks. Ger
tain cases because of their nature arc
assigned to be heard en- banc and usu-
ally when either department is close
~ divided on a question an en- banc
hearing is ordered. The third week
of the term is set for en- banc hea,-
ings, but it is apparent now that by
the end of the term another week of
en- banc hearings will be necessary.
Six cases a day are set on the calen-
dar for argument before the depart
ment that, is sitting The rule is tina.
each side has half an hour for argu-
ment, but in important cases this
time is extended. SO in any event
there are at least six hours of argu-
ment a day to which justices must
listen. Immediately after court adj
iourns the justices go into conference
and decide upon their opinions, FIRE
quently arguing at length between
themselves, thus spending from one
to two hours in such meetings. Cases
are assigned in rotation for writing
opinions, the chief justice only writ
ing half the number of opinions his
associates write because of his extra
duty as presiding justice. When the
court is divided this means extra
work
After each days work is over in
Court the justices are obliged to read
the briefs filed by attorneys in tho
cases to be heard the following day.
This is night work and means careful
reading of from 600 to $50 pages of
briefs before morning routine begins
again. Cases cited by the attorney.
have to be looked up. too.
On alternate weeks, when not sit
ting on the bench, the justices are oh
liged to write their opinions, but it

State Gaining Lieu Lands.

Commissioner of Public Lands C.
V. Savidge believes within a short
time the few contests that are holding
back the clear listing of 19.sS326
acres of lieu lands selected by this
state to complete it's compensation for
land lost through deeds to settlers,
etc, will be adjudicated and all of the
selected areas will pass to the state.
The 19,SS3.26 acres Commissioner
Savidge is now seeking so insistently
Is IN addition to the 438,249 acres
soon to be obtained by an exchange
for lands lost in the forest reserves.
When Commissioner Savidge started
his campaign to recover the selected
lands, this state had claims to approx
lmately 125,O00 acres, some of the
land having been selected as far back
as 1900, but held up by the Interiol'
Department for various reasons.
When he was land commissioners f.
w. Ross maintained that the act of
1858 reserving sections 16 and Sc of
each township was a grant in present
to the future state of Washington
and the Interior Department had no
right to sell or transfer any such
lands to anybody. A decision of the
Washington Supreme court upheld
this view
That was all very we'll as a matter
of law, but the fact was that the In
terror Department had sold about
$4,000 acres of land belonging to the
state to settlers and others and it
held up applications to take lieu lands
IN their place. Finally Commissioners
Savidge obtained modification of the
original decision which authorized
him to accept lieu lands for those al
ready gone and about a year ago he
began gathering up the stray pieces
of selected lands to which the state
made claim. All but 19,8S3.26 acres
have been recovered and the rest, it
is believed, soon will be obtained.

After Chinese Eggs.
The pure food division of the De-

menced a vigorous prosecution of Sc
attic and Tacoma dealers and bakers
who use Chinese eggs without dis
playing the sign required by law.
Repeated warnings that the law
would be enforced, following a Su-

The Powers Accept

c u promptly ana CoTu!iiE nave iilc 'NH-
~ fe.ring powers agreed in principle
with Secre AIRY Hughes plan for limitation
of ornaments that the world is BIT dazed.
The suddenness and the compile eneSs OF
that agreement is hardly less stirring than
the master stroke OF Secretary Hughes on
the opening day Of the conference. The
world finds itself rubbing its eyes in be-
wilderment and asking If II can be true

down upon the conference almost overni ght,

ment even in principle such an cpochal
proposal. Then, even ii an agreement were
reached eventually il was forcscen that
there would be endless diplomatic bargain
ing and international tanglcs to be straight
ened out.
Almost one is tempted 10 believe that this

that possibly il is diplomatic courtesy to
