and steam from laundry work, how
ever, are disagreeable in a kitchen,
and the handling of soiled clothing in
any room in which food is prepared is
highly Objectionable. If clothes must
be washed in the kitchen the prelimi-
nary sorting should be done elsewhere.
In some sections it is considered
preferable to have the washing done
out of doors or in room outside of
the house. Otherwise the best place
for a laundry is usually either in a
room next to the kitchen or in a base
ment room directly below it, because
this makes it possible to use the same
chimney, and, if 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 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 Tools
Good equipment is as important as
right methods in laundry work. Both
and assist in producing better results.
Equipment need not be expensive, but
it 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
is done in the bottom of the tub, and
the working height is about half way
up the side. For the average worker
the top rim of the tub should be SO
inches from the floor; in all cases the
tubs should be placed so that the work
er does not stoop from the shoulders
but bends at the hips, laundry special
lists in the United States Department
of Agriculture say. A portable wash
tub may be easily raised or lowered to
the right height. If the top of the
washboard is too high, 1t may be low
cred by cutting off part of the legs.
The ironing table or board should be
SO low that force from the shoulder
can be applied easily; 81 inches is a
good average height.
Where no special room is provided
for laundry and there are no set tubs,
portable bench of the correct height
and size is convenient.
Many Kinds of Tubs.
A wooden tub is difficult to keep in
good condition. If kept dry it is likely
to shrink and fall apart; if kept moist
enough to prevent shrinking it is
likely to become watersoaked and
slimy, and may have a disagreeable
odor. A portable, galvanized-iron tub
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 if left dry, but is more
expensive than an iron tub. Any port
] able tub may have a hole bored in it
and plug inserted so that water may
be drained from it without lifting the
tub. Hot and cold water can be piped

Kitchen Was Convenient.

In olden days tubs and wash benches
were brought into the kitchen because

Power Corporation. This is a

preliminary work has been COM
pleted and actual dam construc-

The dam will span the river at
a gorge and will be 85 feet high.
1t will be 800 feet across the
top, impounding a mighty vol
ume of water, the force from
which will be utilized in the
production of electric energy.
The lake thus formed will eX-

will be inundated.

the party boarded special cars
provided by the Missouri-Pacif-
ic system for the 200 mile trip

A long line of cars met the par
tv at the former place and a
drive was made to many places
