Management OF
Home Outlined

HOW can we solve many of the
problems that arise in Home Man
agement?
MRS. harrington, state home man.
agement specialist, recently told the
group of Randolphville women how
they could solve some of their prob
lens.
Mrs. Harrington started with the
human machine. She says that I'M
less that machine Is in good condi-
ton the management of the home
will be difficult. First, take an in
ventory of the things we have to do
in our work.
We must stand; are we standing
correctly, as tall as we can, with the
weight oil the balls of our feet, with
out tension?
Can we sit down to do many of
u tasks? How about a high stool
in the kitchen?
Do we bend over to do our work
because our tables and sink are too
low. Why not raise them or put a
box under the dish pan in the sink?
Do we have sore feet because our
shoes are uncomfortable?
Do we rest before we get too tired ?
Ildi lVL Sdlu iIldL IbSllllB
means complete relaxation. She sug-
gested lying on the bed as If we
weighed three hundred pounds-not
ready to jump for the door bell or
telephone. 1t is surprising how much
more work we can do and more
quickly If we snatch a half hour of
rest.
Mrs. Harrington told the best ways
OF doing many other things, like sit
ting. STOPPING and climbing stairs,
that the human machine has to do.
At the end OF the talk the group
made dustless busters using the re-
cipe given below.
Mrs. William Irving, the home
management leader for the RAN
Home Bureau, took charge
of the meeting.
This work is under the leadership
of Miss Frances Whitcomb, the home
demonstration agent for Middlesex
county.

PRIVATE LETTER
(Continued from Pana Qnel

from my letter and published Nc
Clatchy's letter in his paper. This Is
the letter now being circulated by
him and published in the east.
There are some things that must
not be done even in politics and that
decent men and women cannot con-
done. One of these is burglarizig an
oppoent's rooms or stealing his pri-
vate property or private cores
pondence or receiving things thus ap-
propriated. This is exactly what was
done in this particular instance.
Fortunately, aside from little in
timacies which occur in the cores
pondence of every man and woman,
there is nothing in any correspon-
dence of mine that cannot be re-
vealed or published. l do object,
however, to grand larceny or petty
thieving in politics or business.
Il may add that l hope the letter
may be taken by the opposition, we'll
exemplified in this instance, as an in
vitation to a contest in California.
Progressive Republicans there, apart
from any candidates, are determined
that the delegation to the Republican
national convention next year shall
represent California as California is,
a Progressive Republican state"
The excerpts from the senator's let
ter to Mr.. McClatchy. as published to-
day in several eastern newspapers, are
as follows:
II feel that Harding will be able to
renominate himself. though some very
good people, like Senator Moses and
George Henry Payne, believe other
wise and want to commence an active
campaign. AS L have said to you
often. I would like to be president.
think any American in political life
who pretends otherwise is wholly
hypocritical. I realize, however po-
litical realities, and I can not see sue
cess in an active candidacy. A sort of
passive attitude never brought me any,

to fight. This, though, is a kind of
valor of ignorance. or finding ones self

Millgrate. who has himself stolen a

There follows an interesting devel-
opment and strange denouement in
this story of romance, adventure and
intrigue as told by Charles A. Logue
and directed by him. Monte Blue
has a role more impressive, power
full and sympathetic than his

AS the robber chief he is both feared
and fearless and a romantic figure in
a story of passionate love and hate.
Mary Alden is again cast in a
mother role. but it is unlike any
other of her famous characterize
tons. Mary Thurman is the adj
venture loving. American girl who
unwittingly stfrs up a hornets nest

role of the Sultan and Charles Lane
is Millgrate. Other important parts
are entrusted to Sally Crute, Frank
Currier, Martin Faust and Amalia

however. Is different matter. 1t
ought to be composed Of our friends,
not compromise Of some Of our
friends and some Of our enemies. and
this whether we have a candidate or
not. If Progressives are going to con-
tinue in politics in California it seems
obvious to me they must get ready to
redeem themselves and the state. If
they permit Chandler. Dickson, Andy
Lawrence and the Hoover crowd to
control the national delegation and
again elect national committeeman,
they might just as we'll resign them
selves to the role Of outsiders.
Since last year I have endeavored
to impress this on all our friends. We
lost California principally because we
compromised, because they feared we
would whip them, and who remained
as conservative and reactionary as
ever. but bided their time to strike. We
destroyed the morale of Progressives
and convinced the ordinary individual
we are no different than our opponents
that sought political success only.

was in never yielding for an instant

the same. My weakness today Is that
I have yielded and given power. posi-
tion and political strength to the very

ferred to 1t as instructive for the fu-

statement and please do not ascribe to

firmly as result Of failure to make
new wage contract, remained today
in Atlantic City though all communi-
cation between them had been sus-
pended for 48 hours.
Both groups had been definitely
told that the federal government has
no ground for intervening further to
prevent the shut down. and neither
had changed in the slightest degree
the conflicting attitudes which made
them break off negotiations Tuesday
Arbitration for every disputed point
was the last offer the employers had
to make, it was repeated, while the

steadfastly adhered to the ultima tum
that the men would stay away from
work unless wage increase was as
sured.
But it also appeared during the
day that the miners union and the
operators had a point to settle to-
gether before separating finally to
take the measures which are neces-
sary in what both sides now concede
