TRIES TO BLOW UP
 HIS MOTHER -IN-LAW

PARIS, Jan 1.-Nobody loves a mother-in-law.
 Monsieur Thomas, a Parisian, who has mother-in-law troubles all his own, thought his star of hope had dawned when he began reading about the frequent explosions of stoves burning anthracite coal.
 Bright and early one morning he descended to the kitchen and poured a bag of gunpowder into the range before the good old lady had a chance to start the fire for morning coffee But unfortunately M Thomas's knowledge of chemistry is very limited The loose powder pro- duced nothing more than a few misses and a spluttering blue flame, which aroused the suspicious of mother-in-law.
 She immediately set about trac- ing his hand in the affair, and her son-in-law found himself summoned before the police, where he is now under arrest for his practical joke. His wife is ,heaping more coals upon his head by using the powder incl dent as grounds for divorce.

HOW TO REDUCE TIME
REQUIRED TO MAKE PIE

Valuable studies in methods of
making lemon pies have demonstrated
how housewife may cut nearly II
minutes from the ordinary time taken
to make lemon pie.
Much of the time-saving was ef-
fected by careful arrangements Of
utensils and supplies to eliminate
extra steps and motions. By get
ting out all the utensils at one
time, making but one trip to the
cupboard and opening drawers but
once, arranging utensils in the or
der of their use and so that they
could be picked up with the fewest
number of motions, the time required
for this part of the process was re.
duced from 1874 to 40 seconds.
BY similar saving of motion and ar.
rangement of the materials used, rs
seconds were saved.
BY having the oven regulated be
fore starting, and lighted (if gas) as
soon as the supplies were all laid out
the time required for making the crust
was reduced from 367 to 215 seconds.
The time required to make pie
by ordinary methods was 26.05 min
utes and that required with scientific
methods was 1877 minutes, saving
of 1913 minutes
