Senator R. L. Moore and family
have returned from Phoenix, where
they have spent the past two months
while Mr. Moore was in attendance
upon the sessions of the Legislature.
The Senator started to drive through
in a new car which he purchased at
Phoenix, but owing to the bad roads
caused by the recent heavy rains
down that way, he had to abandon
the car near Ash Fork and come on
through on the train. Mrs. Moore
and little son did not attempt the
trip by auto but came up on the train

DOING AWAY WITH UGLINESs
Citizens Of Kansas City Have the Right
Idea in Influencing the Taste
of the Public.

Speaking of city Identification, CO.
ordinate subject with city improve
ments on a $l0OOO0.OO0 scale, it is in
teresting to note that Kansas City, has
a Citizens Anti-Ugly Association"
Its object is to keep the town spruced
up. 1t calls attention to things that
ought to be done to make Kansas City
prettier and the things that ought not
to be done that will make it less pretty
than it is.
It is greatly interested in coming and
in lesser esthetic regulations such as
those that affect billboards, weeds,
tree pruning. and Topsy-like cheap ar
chitecture that "jest grows" without
planning.
Its main influence at first is Iropa-
gandist. Precept and preaching is the
idea; but ordinances are also an aim.
There is much in persuading the pub
lie taste; and single object lesson in
beauty is worth Hundred sermons. In
our own humble opinion, if you want
an appreciation Of beauty in city PLAN
ming and building, show bit of it ac-
complished-and there'll be a clamOr

TWO Points to Remember.

If trees and shrubs are to be planted,
they must be considered from two
tandpoints--the space they occupy on
the ground, or plan; and their contour
against the sky. or elevation. In this
study artistic skill Is called into play
to create the best possible effects. The
contour should be studied with view
to plotting out unpleasant views and
allowing glimpses of pleasant ones, at
the same stime avoiding monotonOus
and poorly balanced effects. Shrub
berry borders always have irregular
outlines except where the shrubs are
to be clipped to formal hedge effects;
and the arrangement of these outlines
requires careful study. The shrubs
should be selected so that those in
front reach the ground with their foil
age, concealing the unsightly bare
stems of more upright and taller varie-
ties. And excellent effects may be OBJ
tanned by grouping with respect to flow
ering season and winter appearance;
and even with respect to the color of
foliage, as great variation exists in the
greens.

HOUSEKEEPER WOULD

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The ideal of every housekeeper
would be separator room for her laun-
dry with running water and modern
labor-saving devices. These cannot be
provided in every home, but even
where the arrangement and equipment
are necessarily very simple 1t is often
possible to make minor changes or to
plan the work in such a way that it
will take less time and strength.
In olden days, tubs and wash
benches were brought into the kitchen
because water could be heated there
most conveniently, and from this
seems to have developed the idea that
the kitchen is the place for the laun-
dry. The doors and steam from laun-
dry work, however, are disagreeable
In a kitchen, and the handling of
soiled clothing in any room in which
food is prepared is highly objection
nble. If clothes must be washed in
the kitchen the preliminary sorting
should be dona 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
room next to the kitchen or in a base
ment room directly below it, because
this makes'i it possible to use the same.

Good lighting is necessary for good
laundry work, and tubs and ironing

One Pattern Sufficient,
In the illustration one pattern was
used to make five different dresses.
Variety was obtained by making the
decorations entirely different and us
ing different materials in, each dress,

er persons 1t is frequently possible to
vary a simple foundation pattern by
means Of trimming, various styles Of
collars or cuffs, or different way Of

= BUILDING
MUCH IN THE POINT OF VIEW
sAome Town" Will Not Look Alike to
the Resident and the Visitor
for q Day.

In the smoking compartment Of a
pullman not very long ago gentleman
told his fellow travellers a great many
good things about his home town. In
deed, he told SO many that one of his
fellow travellers thought he would visit
that town and, il he found 1t as repre-
sented, would move his business there.
In due season the traveller did visit that
town and on>returning to his city office
observed that the representative of the
town whom he had met on the train
had drawn on his Imagination ire
mendously." He may have and he may
not have-it all depends on viewpoint.
To the resident it MAY have been an
ideal town to the stranger 1t may have
lacked many things he regarded as es-
sential. To the resident, substantial
well-to-do people living in comfortable
homes with plenty Of breathing space
about them, having gardens and shrub
berry, with a community center build,
ing, and just enough industry to give
opportunity for livelihood, it may have
been desirable. On the other hand, its
unpaved streets, lack of street cars,
theaters, and so on, MAY have stamped
the town to the city man as undesir-
able for home or business The one
lived there, perhaps all his life; while
the other could only exist there with
out the excitements and pleasures to
which he had been accustomed, though
in the great city where he lived he did
not know even his next door neighbor.
But beyond these things there may
have been other reasons, and zone Of
them may be this-the resident had
helped make the town what 1t is; the
other had no sentiment in the matter
whatsoever, simply cold calculated
estimate. Men who create take pride
in their creations. Good h0me-makers
are generally good town-makers, be-
cause they want good homes in good
towns. They have public spirit, civic
pride, and loyalty, because when men
work together for the common good
they stick together for greater prog
ress. Men In small towns know what
they have accomplished those who live
in large cities have to guess at what
they have done-t0O many find little
opportunity to do anything, SO en-
crossed are they with their own private
business There's a reason why the
one has sentiment while the other has
none.-Grit.

necessary because of steam. odors and
heat.
A laundry floor should be of mate
rial that wears well, is not too hard
for the feet, does not soak water or get
slippery when wet, and is easily
cleaned. Wood, cement, composition
and linoleum are used. Wood floors
are not easily cleaned and are often
slippery when wet Cement floors are
common in some parts of the country
and relatively inexpensive, and If
painted with special cement paint they
do not absorb water. Some compost
ton floors are not too hard, are less
expensive than hardwood, and are
easily cleaned A floor covered with
linoleum Is easily wiped up, is i'm
pervious- to moisture and Is easy to
tread. but is slippery when wet. Oil
paints are preferable to water color
for the walls.
The room should be divided into a
washing and an ironing section. The
position of the stove will determine
the details of this division. To make
boiling the clothes convenient, the
stove should be near the tub. If a
washing machine is to be used. the tub
should be so arranged that the gar
ments go directly, without handling,
from the machine through the wiring
er to the tub, and vice versa. If ar
rangement is well planned, one wash
tub will be sufficient with a washing
machine.

AVOID SKIDD|NC
BY TWO METHODS
Rough Tread Tires or Chains Will
Prevent Trouble to Con-
siderable Extent

Why an automobile skids is of In
terest to a motOrist, but what to do to
prevent skidding and what to do when
the car is skidding are equally Inn
portant topics.
The main cause of skidding of rear
wheels Of motor cars Is due to the
action Of the brakes operating through
the rear wheels. Skidding, Of course,
normally occurs only when the roads
are slippery.
An automobile wheel rotates and
progresses over the highway in but
one direction or plane. This direc-
ton for the rear wheels is determined
by the front wheels under control Of
the driver While the rear wheels grip
the ground and rotate they control the
direction Of the car. However, as
soon as the rear wheels are locked by
the brakes they begin to slide and as
they slide sldewise practically as cas-
lily as forward, they lose the power
to direct the car.
Little Friction Locks Wheels.
1t takes comparatively little brake
fricti0ne to lock and slide rear wheels
on slippery roads because there is
little friction between the tire and the
road surface. When once the, driving
wheels begin to slip the car is kept in
motion by the force Of inertia acting
at the cars center Of gravity or mass.
This forward motion Is opposed by the
resistance of all four wheels on the
ground, resistance that is greater in
the rotating front wheels than In the
sliding rear wheels. Unless the COM
bfned ground resistance of all wheels,
tending to stop the car, acts on the
same point as the force of inertia tend
ing to carry the car forward. there re-
suits what Is called "force couple"
which causes the car to skid or spin
around.
After the wheels once start to slip
very small @.force couple" will pro-
duce skidding, and the skid distance
Is dependent upon the magnitude of
the "force couple which In turn de-
ponds on car speed and weight. Turn
ing the front wheels in the direction
Of the rear wheel skid helps to reduce
skidding because 1t reduces the magni-
tude of the ''force couple" Also peri
odically releasing and re-applying the
brake so the rear wheels can get O
grip offsets forward slip and conse-
quent side skid.
Ways to Prevent Skidding.
Two means are employed to prevent
skiddfng in motor vehicles. The use
Of nonskid or rough tread tires and
Of anti-skid chains Nonskid tires are
designed to give forward traction and
to prevent side slip. AS long as there
Is traction the rear wheels will turn,
and as long as the rear wheels turn
there will be no serious side slip, I'M
less the front wheels are blocked.
Nonskid chains accomplish the same
purpose as the nonskid tire tread, that
is. give additional traction and reduce
side slip. Nonskid chains should sup
plement nonskid tires only when road
conditions absolutely require them.
