u. s. HOUSE WIVES
|. ADVISE OF he RS
ON ELECTRICITY
English Women Take Tips
on Benefits of Homes
Equipped With Labor
Saving Devices.

A leading London architect states
that there is a growing demand for
household labor saving devices in
England, due to the housing and
servant problems, and that new
apartments are being equipped with
every such device obtainable.
Standard equipment, as recon-
mended for new apartments, con-
sists of sanitary bathroom and
kitchen fittings in minimum space
kitchen cabinet, electric range,
clothes rack, washing machine, tel
ephone and dishwasher. and addi-
tional outlets for electric cleaner
toaster, coffee or tea urn, flatiron
and curling iron,
The American housewife. with
characteristic initiative. has been
quick to adopt these devices, and
the rapid rate at which homes are
being wired all over the country is
evidence that these electrical serv-
ants are giving Utmost satisfaction.
In England, on The other hand, the
household appliance is still more
or less Of a luxury, largely due to
the fact that English housekeepers
have not been apprised Cf its quail
ifications through advertisements
such as appear in all newspapers
and periodicals read by women in
this country.
Nearly 40 per cent of the homes
in the United States are wired and
using on an average three electrical
appliances, while in Great Britain
electricity is installed IN only 10
per cent of the homes. 1t was
argued that family that could not
afford to keep a servant could not
afford to install electrical house
hold devices but the architect
pointed out that although the in
itial expense was somewhat high,
statistics show that the appliances
pay for themselves in a surprising
ly short time, especially when the
high cost of food is figured in the
maintenance of a servant.
Where manual labor is cheap 1t
has been difficult to introduce cleo
trical appliances and furthermore,
the majority of English housekeep-
ers are ignorant of the comfort,
convenience and economy of these
labor caving devices. An educa-
tional campaign to carry the mes
sage into the household will revo-
lutionize the British market, and
the demand for electrical devices
will broaden in proport On to the
extent and comprehensiveness of
this campaign.

Coats this spring are two kinds,
the sWagger, mannish top coat,
which is needed to wear over the
new tweed suits when the weather
demands, and the dressier coat or
wrap for afternoon wear. Polo,
cameps hair, English mixtures and
other rough materials are used to
make the knockabout top coats.
All the softest and richest fabrics,
however. are used in making the
dressier coats. Veldyne, marvella,
pollyanna and kittens ears are a
few of the soft materials with a
sheen which are making coats such
as this one pictured.
This is an ideal type of coat to
buy for, if one can have but one
coat, it must be dressy enough for
any occasion and not too dressy fol-
the very informal wear of every
day. Navy blue marvella en-
broidered in gray fashions this
coat. 1t is made on straight, sim
pie lines with throw collar and
wide cuffs.

Miss Maude A. Royden, the first
woman to write pulpit Associate
City Temple, London" after her
name, will visit the United States
in April as the principal guest of
honor at the biennial convention
of the Y. w. C. A. Miss Royden
was undaunted by the fact that
the Church of England closed its
doors to her because Of her sex
and she established fellowship
services for all classes and creeds
in halls which We're crowded to
the doors.
"Come out into the world" may
well be taken as Miss Royden's
challenge to her fellow pulpit or
ators, for many and varied are
her activities. She was one Of the
most prominent women in the
struggle for political recognition
in England. For ten years she did
eleetioneering, lobbying and edit
ing "cause" literature. She was
an ardent fighter, but she opposed
militant methods.
As the first woman to be nomi-
mated for the coveted honor of
being an extensive lecturer for
oxford university, Miss Royden
made such an extraordinary sue
cess that it was impossible for
the university to fill all her
speaking engagements. 1t was an
American, the Rev. Joseph Fort
Newton, who formerly occupied
the City Temple pulpit in London,
who induced Miss Royden to
take up religious duties as his
pulpit associate. Because of the
opposition of the English church
she has never been ordained and
no church is open to her.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH
YOUR PICTURES?


Not long ago I went into a house
where this sight met my eyes-a
broad picture hanging in narrow,
vertical space; q tall, narrow pic
ture hanging in horizontal space;
and two round PLAQUES and one
round picture all adjoining the
walls OF the same room!
1t would not be overdrawing
matters to say that this picture
arrangement hurt l had an Off
cious impulse TO whisk the broad
picture into the horizontal space,
to whisk the tall and narrow pic
ture into the vertical space, and
to remove at least two Of those
circular ornaments from the wall
But. instead, I sat and reflected
that no matter how expensive a
picture (for they were both good
pictures - exquisite etchings) one
could afford to buy, one was, after
all, Handicapped IL one had not
the taste to place it artistically
upon the wall.
Contrary to the usual belief pic
lures are not absolutely indispen-
sable in q well-furnished room.
If the wall spaces are not too large
and bare, or if the walls are pam
eled or decorated with mirror,
sconces, or have their baroness
broken UP by electric sidelights,
pictures may be even superfluous.
But in the average home there
are bare, plain wall spaces which
must be made more attractive and
less monotonous by pictures. And
in selecting these necessary pic
lures we find it q help to keep in
mind these laws laid down by en-
inent interior decorators:
Rather than choose amateur eff
forts with paints or crayon, select
good photographs of the worlds

.vantages to be derived from such
an arrangement seem so great that
there ought not to be any objec
ton to the arrangement. Let's get
in line to take advantage of the
proposition. 1t Is like having a
small sized agricultural college in
our midst. We old-timers have
made fizzle of farming in many
respects. We owe it to the next
generation of farmers to give them
q chance to succeed. Proper train
ling Is the best guarantee of success
AS at present mapped out, the
course Of study would cover such
subjects as: A general study Of
plant life, soils, field crops, seed
Testing, grain judging and grading,
| uses and by-pTOduCts of field crops,
insect pests and diseases, weeds,
rotation OF crops, fruit growing,
propagation, orchard insects and
diseases and their control, storage
land marketing, grading and pack
ling Judging, pruning, truck farm
ling types and breeds of livestock,
judging livestock, diseases and
their treatment, meat packing in

meats, ringing, marking, breeading,
| food nutrients, computation of ra-
tons, commercial feeding stuffs,
lheredity and its Importance,
dairying, milk testing, bees, poul-
try, friends and pests fthe farm
er, etc.
If your boy takes a high school
course which includes training UNI
der a specialist in the above sub
jects don't you think he will make
a better farmer than you have
made? And don't you think that
training will remove some Of the
drudgery Of farm life? Under
standing our work makes us inter
ested, and being interested takes
away the drudgery.

Union county Is strictly an agri-

II your son is to be a farmer 1t
goes without saying that he ought
to have some special training in the

today has a prominent place among
the learned professions, What
mental equipment should the farm

know how to keep accounts and

He needs to know something of
chemistry and geology in order to
keep up the fertility
Of his fields and properly balance

to know banking and commerce

an American citizen.
If your son is to be a banker, a

/ The federal government has rec
Iognized the need for universal edu-
cation in the science of agriculture
and has sought in various ways to
supply the need. one way is by
means of county agricultural agents
and other extesslon workers from
the agricultural colleges, Another
is through special instructors in
agriculture in our high schools,
For example, in order to get a
trained specialist to give full-time
instruction in agriculture in the
Clayton high school it would be
necessary for the local school
board to furnish some equipment
and pay half his salary. The fed
eral government would pay the
other half OF his salary. The adj

A good picture deserves a good

be so large or ornate or obtrusive
as to assert itself at the expense
of the picture. The width, style

suited to the picture. Light pic

SAFETY SERM0NETTE
WARNS AGAINST FIRE
BY ELECTRIC FAULTS

Beginning with fundamentals:
You will read frequently in the pa
pers accounts of fires whose ORR
gins are attributed to crossed
wires" or defective insulation"
Taking into consideration the
fact, established by exhaustive in
vestigation, that only 2,57 per cent
of all the fires are really caused
by electricity-(el electricity, as q
scapegoat, is as handy as the act
of God" formerly evoked to shield
bereaVed families from the shame
Of rotten cahhages in the cellar)--
still. you will want to know how
to eliminate your share Of the 2.57
per cent.
You long ago learned not to
carry q burning candle into clos
ct filled with filmy garments; not
to use gasoline beside an omen
flame; not to pour kerosene into
the kitchen stove; not to run met
al flues through wooden walls; not
to permit children to play with
matches. But you and you ana
you, living in your own home or in
one that is rented--how much do
you know about the wiring which
brings you continuous comfort in
light, power, ventilation, and
warmth?
Was this wiring installed, IN the
beginning by a man who did not
know his business? In many cit
les it is against the law for wiring
be installed by other than licensed
electricians.

since its installation by an ANA
tour, possibly ignorant of the rules
of the underwriters?
Have you, yourself, because you
know how to splice wires and con-
meet aockets, taken a chance" by
tapping your circuit of service and
running supplementary wires
around a Dashboard or a picture
moulding.
Have you on your circuits any
broken sockets? Any switches
without covers?
Have you any exposed wires
draped over water, steam, or gas
pipes? Or tackled to mouldings or
door frames?
Rotten cabbages, every one of
them. You may escape the
menace of unsanitary conditions;
you may never have an accident
from your slip-shod chance-tak-
ing. But tho risk is there, and
when it is so simple and inexpen-
slve a matter to remove it by
means of few repairs, made by
an honorable electrician. 1t would
seem fool-hardy to continue to en-
