MABEL SAYS

"Good-morning. am Miss Ma
bel. came to see your laundry"
FGood morning, Miss Mabel. I
am Miss Ethel Come in and I will
show you around. This is where we
mark and classify the clothes. The
driver brings them I'm at that door
and then we count and list them
and mark your initials on zach piece
with this marking machine. You sce
to set the type | push q button for
each letter like this and pun lever
and there you have it-M. A. b.
your initials ready to mark all your
clothes. AS we mark them we class
ify them, that is we put the cleaner
white clothes in one basket and the
badly soiled ones in another; then
the light calico and the dark in sep
arate piles. The lacy and delicate
stuff like camisoles, ladies handker-
chiefs, lace curtains and small arti-
cles we put in net bags so they wont
be injured by the heavier articles
The woolens and silks we wash by
themselves as they both require
special care.
Now step down this way and |
will show you how we wash. This
large washer is where we wash the
white clothes. This high one is for
colored clothes and overalls and this
small one for woolens and silks. You
see you must have small washer
for woolens not to have too much
drop" for them. There are three
things you look out for when wash
ing woolens so they will not shrink
heat, cold and too much drop. We
always prepare the luke warm suds
in the washer before we put the
woolens in and then are sure it is
just the right temperature. While
washing cotton cloth we just open
this valve and that fills the washer
ments in that for five minutes, then
we pull this lever to let that run off
and run in cold suds for thirty min
utes. Then we give them a tw9a
minute rinse. After that we fill the
washer again and open this valve to
turn on the steam and let them boil
for thirty minutes with two good
rinses and the blue which makes
seven changes of water in all. Look
inside the washer and you see it is
perfectly smooth with nothing to
wear or tear the clothes.
This is the extractor and I think
the most important piece of machin-
cry in the laundry. We place the
clothes in this smooth. perforated
cylinder and it revolves with such
terrific speed it throws the water
out and makes the clothes dry
enough to iron and it does all this
without any wringing or twisting to
tear the garments.
This is the dry room--heated by
steam. All the garments we send
out rough dry are put in this room
and made perfectly dry in a few
minutes. This is the starch cooker
which is also heated by steam and
this machine is the collar starcher.
This machine irons the collars. You
see they are ironed fiat and this
machine folds them over while this
one shapes them round, Here we
have the steam pressers. This one
is for neck bands and cuffs and this
one for the yokes of shirts. This |

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
GOES OVER THE TOP

The bond Issu FOr the schools of
the city was votet on Saturday and
won by a majority of 1866 votes, the
vote standing 215 for and SO
against when the polls closed. There
was some opposition apparent for a
while, but it was reasoned away
and, anyway, the women of the city
to whom the schools are paramount,
simply swamped all opposition. 1t
is said that every voter from Union
College came down town in a block
and voted one big yea and there
were some twenty of them. That is
the spirit that wins. The better our
schools the more boys and girls will
go in for a higher education.

termined.
workmen on the gate had left lumber,
iron rods and debris about the gate
Just as if the whistle had blown and
they had dropped everything and quit
work and never gone back
sSince you have been connected
with the project this is the first time
you had an occasion to close the emer-
gency gate, was it not?"
Eyes. before I came on the project,
the Idaho Irrigation company would
drain the reservoir in the fall and do
all necessary work on the gates. We
had learned from their experience
that was an unsafe thing to do as not
always did there occur sufficient rain
fall to fill the reservoir and when there
was a drouth no water could be sup
piled the users the coming year, so we
adopted the policy of conserving the
water in the fall so even if there was
drouth we could give them water.
The gates had always worked and ac-
cording to the blue prints there was
not much chance of them getting out
of order Now that we have had this
experience, however I am having
plans drawn for a sliding emergency
gate back of the one we have, so If
one goes to the bad the other can be
used and thus allow us to fix anything
that goes wrong. Then, too, we are
now frequently testing all the gates
before the crop season so we know
things will be all right"
How about water for the coming
year?'
There will be plenty even if we
have a drouth to supply all with the
amount of water they are entitled to.
We will be able to give them still more
if there is not drouth. 1t takes about
100000 acre feet of water during the
season and we have approximately
$4,000 acre feet right now and with
the natural increase, even during a
drouth we will have water enough for
all"
.'what do you think of the future
prospects of the projects"
Il think they were never brighter
than they are today. I feel sure we
viii have enough water for all acres
under cultivation but never for an
acre over the 10000 acres and
more too and that means good crops
and look for better prices for the
crops than has been obtained or else
a reduced working cost for the farmer
so he will be able to make more money
than he has in several years. He was
debated too suddenly and has had
hard time but from now on things
look brighter for him than ever before.

problems being run by the Journal
is devoted to interviews with John
Bailey and S. H. Chapman. Next
week the last article embracing the
interview with the divers and sum-
ming up the facts, as presented will

John Bailey, manager of the pro-

"When did you first come on the
project?"
I'm 1915 as deputy state engineer
when 1 became familiar with the pro-
ject as I was to distribute the water
for the Big and little Wood rivers and
tributaries in the interest of the state

1903 and with the government reclaim

of the Boise project and then as man
ager of part of the Boise project for
a number of years, until December
was one of twelve engineers selec-
ted by the government to go to China
-to devise means of. controlling the
floods in the famine districts. In 1919

resigned in October, 1915, to accept
the position of engineer for the Farm

looking after their interests. In Nov

here. let me say, that, on account oil
the finances of the league. it was only
through the Goodings and barrah
that was able to do this work as

ing to that gate and thus shut off all
water to the users"
sWhy didn't you shut the emergency
gate leaving the good gate open and
thus shut off the water only tempor-
ary"
"That would be impossible as the
suction of the water in closing the
emergency gate would rip the gate
from the hinges and slap it up against
the good gate"
"Then you did not try the emer-
gency gate at all?"
mo, I wouldn't take the chance OF
shutting all the water off and running
the crops when with the way it was
it was possible to get along until the
season ended"
after you had made up your mind
as to the trouble did you consult any
one as to methods of opening the bad
gate?"
and experts and they all agreed with
nv view. But I have learned in my
wears as an engineer to ask anyone
and everyone what they think and
what they would do. have found
sometimes an unframed mind will
sometimes suggest a thing that Is
feasible that trained mind Will over
look. so asked everybody knew just
what they would do and received hum
dreds of suggestions. One man wanted
me TO take the top off the cell and let
the water out over the top and another
wanted to dynamite the gate and many
other things were suggested"
"Was not the taking off the top of
the cell feasible. 1t sounds like it
might be done"
"There are forty-two large bolts
holding down this top and there is
a pressure of 125 pounds to the square
inch in the cell. AS soon as you
started to unscrew these bolts the re-
naming bolts would be subject to
still larger pressure and before the
last one was out the pressure OF the
