ever, are disagreeable In kitchen,
and the handling Of soiled clothing in
any room in which food is prepared is
highly Objectionable. II clothes must
be washed In the kitchen the preliml-
nary sorting should be done elsewhere.
In some sections 1t is considered
preferable to have the washing done
out Of doors or In a room outside Of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for laundry is usually either In
room next to the kitchen or In base
ment room directly below 1t, because
this makes 1t possible to use the same
chimney, and, II the house Is equipped
with running water, the same water
pipes for both rooms. A basement
laundry generally means too many
stairs for the housewife, while a room
adjoining the kitchen may enable her
much more easily to carry on or over
see the work In both rooms at the same
time.
Worker Worthy Of Good Tooia
Good equipment is as important as
right methods In laundry work. Both
decrease the labor, shorten the time,
and assist In producing better results.
Equipment need not be expensive, but
1t should be chosen and placed from
the point of view of service and for
the comfort of the worker.
The working surface Of nearly all
laundry equipment Is usually set too
low, and the woman operating 1t is so
out of balance that she is soon IA
tigued. Little of the washing process
the working height is about half way
up the side. For the average worker

The ironing table or board should be
SO low that force from the shoulder
can be applied easily; 81 inches is ~

Where no special room Is. provided
for laundry and there are no set tubs,

A wooden tub is difficult to keep in

to shrink and fall apart; IL kept moist
enough to prevent shrinking, 1t is
likely to become watersoaked and

is fairly light, durable and easy to
keep clean, but may corrode. A fiber
tub is still lighter, is easily kept clean,
and is durable II left dry, but is more
expensive than an iron tub. Any port

Washing and ironing are among the
hardest of the regular household tasks,
much needed in many homes. The
ideal Of every housekeeper would be
a separate room for her laundry, with
running water and modern labor-sav-
ing devices. These cannot be provided
in every home. but even where the
arrangement and equipment are neces-
sarily very simple 1t is often possible
to make minor changes or to plan the
work in such way that 1t will take
less time and strength.

RIGHT OUT
President German, of Rock
Island. Makes Position Plain.
''NOt Negotiating Settlement OF
Strike With Unions"

The position of the Rock Island in
the matter of the settlement of the
strike of the shopmen. had been made
plainly the following advertisement
which was run this week in several
Kansas papers.
The advertisement makes evident
the intention of the Rock Island not
to yield on the seniority question or
to deal further with the heads Of the
unions as they existed on July 1, when
the strike was called.
'Not Negotiating Settlement"
These companies are not negotiat-
ing a settlement of the shopmen's
strike with the officers of the shop
craft organizations. An association of
Rock Island shop employees is being
formed by those now in the service,
with which all future negotiations
will be conducted. The men who were
in the service July 10, 1922, will head
the seniority list, and those employed
since July 10 will follow on that list
in the order of their employment.
There are vacancies to be filled,
and our officers will give preference
to former employees who apply for
work and whose record is satisfac-
tory to the employing officer, and,
while such former employees cannot
be given their old places on the
seniority list, they will have restored
full pass and pension privileges.
LAS to such former employees re-
turning to service before October 1,
1922, pension continuity of service
will be computed without regard to
any break on account of strikes.
Employment for those not now in
the service will not result from wait
ing for some other person or persons
to arrange for it, but will be given
only on the personal application of
the one who wants the work.

WORK CLOSING UP
Santa Fe Engineering Depart
ment Nearing End of Two Jobs.
Complete Pipe Shop and Tool
Shed at Topeka.

Work on several engineering prof.
ects of the Santa Fe is closing up
One of the most notable jobs on hand
at the present time, is the construc-
ton of extensions to one of the ma
chine shops at Topeka.
A new building to be used as a pipe
shop and tool shed, has been COM
pleted and is now ready for use. The
new building joins a machine shop
and is forty feet wide by 102 feet
long.
Shop and Shed Are in Use.
It parallels another similar struc-
ture constructed two years ago. and
the space between them is being COW
cred with a steel canopy. The new
shop and shed are already in use.
The canopy will cover three lines OF
track on which are located oil fur
naces and other equipment for the
removal of tires from the drive wheels
of locomotives. This work has hither-
to been done in the open. The cree
ton of the steel canopy over the
tracks has been commenced. The
work is being done by Joseph E. Mel
son & Son of Chicago.
Pouring Concrete at Newton.
The work of pouring concrete on
ing at Newton, which is being built by
Swanson Brothers, of Topeka, will
start next week, it was stated today
from the office of the chief engineer
at Topeka.
The new division office quarters at
Newton will be rs feet by 1875 feet,
two stories and basement, of rein
forced concrete.
The engineers believe that it will be
enclosed by December 1, and that it
will be ready for occupancy by March
l of next year.

TB ON DECREASE
Tuberculosis Is Being Elm,
mated From Kansas Cattle.
In Six Months 10000 Head
Have Been ThOroly Tested.

Tho past four years have witnessed
a phenomenal growth in Accredited
herd testing" for the elimination of tu-
berculosis in Kansas cattle. During
the first six months this year, 10000
head of Kansas cattle were given the
test. according to a report compiled
for the Kansas Livestock association
by w. A. Atchison of the state live
stock sanitary commissioners staff.
The report is based on the cooper
alive efforts of the state department
and the Kansas division of the United
States bureau of animal husbandry.
The first accredited testing of Kan
sas herds was in the latter part OF 1918,
so the movement is barely four years
old. At present there are nearly one
thousand herds under supervision
968 to be exact-and of these 396
have been designated as accredited
herds" while the other 572 are under
supervision and will be awarded the
accredited" title as free from the
disease upon completion of the tests
and elimination of all diseased ami
mails.
First Tests in 1919.
The first accredited herds in Kan
sas were certified in 1919. More than
5000 head were given the test that
year. In 1920 this number was in
creased to 10000 head and in 1921 the
number jumped to $4,000.
The report shows that the 500 GER
titled herds comprise 12,42S head,
slightly more than half of which num-
ber-6, 297-are dairy cattle. The to-
tai number of dairy herds, however,
is almost twice the number of beef
herds on the list-256 and 1877, re-
spectively. Latest statistics show that
of the total number of cattle in the
state, the "other CATTLE outnumber
the milk cows about PA to 1.
AS to breed the cattle in the dairy
division include mainly Holstein, Jer-
sey, Ayrshire, Guernsey and Brown
Swiss, while in the beef division the
Shorthorn, Hereford, Angus, Red
Polled and Galloway predominant. The
tuberculosis eradication work now
covers seventy-six out of the 1O5 coun-
ties in the state, Mr.. Atchison points
out.
Atchison's Report
The following table shows that
nearly half of the total number OF
herds under supervision are Holstein:

U. P. Officials Deny Bloomington, H.,
Rumor of Sale.

Omaha, Sept. 23.-Emphatic denial
of any contemplated absorption of

A party of Union Pacific officials
made an inspection of the Chicago &,
Alton plant at Bloomington this week.
Nothing was given out concerning the
object of the inspection and the pres
ence of the visitors started rumors
about the absorption of the Alton by
the Union Pacific.

Topekans who can go home at
night and sleep in their own bedroom
or on their own sleeping porches,
the Free fair camp grounds. But to
weary travellers from other states. who
came to spend a week or a few days
at the Kansas Free fair, these grounds
no doubt were fairyland.
Situated in horseshoe" bend of
Shunganunga creek, just west of To-
peka avenue and south across the
creek from the Free fair grounds;
cool and shady and convenient of ac-
cess, these grounds were open to all
Free fair visitors, to be used free of
charge. Electric lights, city water and
wood was furnished free of charge.
There were two brick ovens on the
grounds for the use of the campers
and daily garbage collections were
made without cost to the visitors.
Aaron Green, secretary of the Colored
Y. NJ. C. A. and formerly with the
city health department, was superin=
tendent of the camp and put forth
every effort to make the visitors feel
at home.
Visitors From Fourteen States.
Visitors from 125 cities and towns
of the Union and from Canada camped
on these grounds while attending the
Kansas Free fair last week. On Mon
day, the opening day of the Free fair,
there were fifty tents up. Tuesday
thirty-four more appeared and on
Wednesday there were IT'S tents on
the grounds. On the remaining three
days there were: Thursday, 100; Fri
day, 80, and Saturday, 80. The num-
Der of persons camping ON tho grounds
during the week follows: Monday,

Besides some visitors from Canada
fourteen states of the Union were rep
resented by the campers. They were
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, In
diana. Oklahoma, Texas. California,
Oregon, Colorado PENNSYLVANIA,
Michigan, Florida and Kansas.
A motor road leads into the grounds
from Twenty-First street, off Topeka
boulevard, so that the visitors may
bring their cars in and park them
beside their tents or use auto tents
for shelter. A foot bridge spans
Shunganunga creek, giving access to
the fair grounds proper.
Letter From Henry Field.
The fair management received
many messages of commentator con-
corning the camping grounds, typical
among them being a letter from
Henry Field, president of the Henry
Field Seed company, Shenandoah, Ia,
The letter follows:
Friend Eastman:
just wanted to tell you how
much I enjoyed the Kansas Free
fair. It was a great fair and you
certainly have something to be
proud of.
want to compliment you espe-
cially on the camp grounds which
you installed for visitors. We
camped down there and it certainly
is an ideal camping ground.
We think we did a lot of good for
our business with our booth in the
Horticultural building and we will
be back in full force next year, but
we want more space and a more
central location.
Yours truly,
HENRY FIELD SEED CO.,

The highest score among the
diaries, handling whole milk, was
made by Jack LIE Reux, 84.3 per cent;
the second highest was by Beers and
Curtis, 50 per cent, and the third
was by the Kaw Valley, sos per cent.
OF the two diaries handling pasteur-
lied milk, Scott Brothers ranked the
higher with score of 81.5 per cent.
The scores for the month were as
