ed In the original plan, the window
near the door into the kitchen will
furnish light over the dining table,
The addition of the breakfast room
serves a two-fold purpose. Firstly, it
is more convenient and practical place
to serve the majority of meals, and
secondly 1t breaks the monotonous ap-
pearance Of the four straight exterior
walls.
This kitchen arrangement meets the
approval of the housewife upon being
given the test for convenience. The
sink arrangement indicated here is
not the original one. but 1t Is suggest
ed here since 1t Is found to be more
satisfactory, especially If this wall is
set toward the east south or west.
This plan has been carried out by
several housewives in this state to
their satisfaction. The reader will
note that the sink Is placed between
two windows. The wall space above
the sink is utilized as place to keep
the supplies and equipment needed
around the sink. The housewife as

addition Of a second bedroom.

This plan is based upon the one used
In the construction of the first demon
stration house to be built In this
state. The plan has been very popu-
lar. 1t has, to date, been copied at
least five times. The original house
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000.
The special features include:
A work porch, screened the year
around and protected with canvas cur
tains during the winter This porch
serves as the laundry room The
laundry tubs are convenient to the
plumbing for the bathroom.
A hall serves as passage way from
the work porch to the bathroom, the
bedroom and living room, thus max
Ing the entire house accessible from
the back door without passing through
the kitchen.

Idaho Woman Has Interesting Letter
From Wife of Anton Lang, Christus

been embodied In the ground work
for this good undertaking.
1T may interest you to know that
we gave So performances this summer
with an attendance of almost 100000
visitors. The salaries of the main
actors such as Christus, Prologue the
choir leader. Caiphas and the music
director amounted each to 200 marks
for the summers work, with 1000
marks added for the rehearsals. This
sum sufficed just for the purchase of
one pair Of shoes. The salary of the
other actors amounted to 1000 marks
apiece.
AT the suggestion of two friends
from New York we are contemplating
an exhibition Of our wood carving In
dustry In New York for the coming
! winter. The Germans themselves can
no longer afford articles of luxury,
such as wood carving, because the
prices of necessities have risen to a
giddy height since the French are in
the Ruhr. Besides that, the taxes are
so high that they stifle us. The flu.

gau Passion Play. and his wife. Mrs.
Sargent spent the summer In Europe
and saw the play this year. Upon her
return she told the Faculty Women S
club about the financial conditions
existing at Oberammergau and how
the people had preferred poverty to
breaking the VOWS made centuries be
fore by their forefathers, and so had
refused to commercialize the play by
accepting an offer of million dollars
for the exclusive film rights. AS a re.
suit of her talk collection of $40
was sent to MI. Lang for use as he
saw fit Excerpts from the letter
which was written by Mrs. Lang
thanking the club for its interest in
the welfare of the people of Oberam

Owing to the fact that my dear
husband has been very III with the

Automobile radiators are now
being made from copper cartridge
tubes, as the result Of a process
developed during the war for the
rapid extrusion of copper tubes
used in the manufacture of cart
ridges. A radiator composed of
number of cells made from these

and repair, and is not liable to
serious damage from freezing, ow-
ing to the absence of troublesome
joints. Copper transmits heat read

An Italian tractor, originally de-

meet the agricultural and Industrial
requirements of American users of
tractors. The war machine, equipped

peaceful purposes, 1t is equipped with

ADJUSTABLE LADDER SHOES
THAT PREVENT SLlPPAGE

To prevent ladder from slipping
when in use, shoes have been devised
which are capable of adjustment for
boiling onto the bottom of ladders Of
any size. On the bottom of the shoes
are two circular cork pads which,
when worn out, may be replaced by
unscrewing nut and putting on new
pads The cork prevents slippage on
smooth surfaces, such as metal. con-
crete, wood, marble, or similar floors,
and also on soft ground outdoors.

Washington was given lead over
all the other states in Holstein COWS

his "All American Show Herd"

IL as the ideal type and six Of these
come from this state, is a most re-
markable incident.

owns four of the six Holsteins. They
include Matador Segis Walker 9th,
Carnation Matador Queen, Tillamook

She likes to say that certain

how women attract fine men,
why the veriest school girl can
find some one to carry home
her books, and why silent women,
plain women, poorly educated

established in homes of their
own year after year.
For that is true and in 1T lies

girl, who is also perhaps a little
shy and awkward and feels her.
