Making the Kitchen Convenient-ln
arranging kitchen equipment the first
consideration is to save time and
labor, home economics experts say.
About 120 square feet-is qreicient size
for the room, and it should have two
windows, with oil enamel painted
walls or oilcloth paper covering. The
colors used should be light, especial
ly for a northern exposure. White
scrim, muslin or checked ginghams
are most suitable curtain materials as
they let in the light and can be laun-
dered often.
Kitchen equipment consists of a
range or oil stove, with sink and
drain 80 inches high--more if the
worker is tall--a work table with
shelves and drawers, china and
food cupboard. A dish towel rack,
towel rod, covered garbage pail, clock
and wall fastener where such uten-
sils as spoons, egg beater, measuring
cupand knives can be hung, all add
to the convenience of the kitchen.
Location is important in making
this work shop attractive. The sink,
stove, table and cupboard should be
placed close together; a good arrange
ment If possible, is to have the cup
board at the right of the sink, the
work table at the left and the stove
Just opposite. The stove should be
placed so that a good light falls into
the oven when the door is ope. A
soft rug placed before the work
table. when the housekeeper cannot
sit on the stool, makes feet less weary.
Wooden Tests-1. Hold cloth up to
light; if the weave is loose and sleazy
lat material will not hold its shape.
,. Ravel out some warp; if it breaks
easily the material will not wear, and
unless it tears hard and leaves a rough
edge the cloth is not wooden. 3. Wool
gives off the odor of burning feathers
when set afire and it burns slowly.
Cotton flames and burns in a second.

retired when on the verge of utter col
lapse after two minutes in the third
round. Rochansky, who is II years old
and of Polish-Irish origin. Is one of the
cleverest two handed boxers seen in
the amateur ring in many years. He
is always cool and collected and uses
both hands with skill and effect. He
hits with great force ana usually beats
his opponent into a state of semi or
complete helplessness early in the bat
tie. He has won seven of his last bat
