shelf built over an old drain pipe. A
hole large enough to hold the stopper
was cut In the bottom of the pan and
through the shelf. and lined with ce-
ment. This connected with the drain
pipe. There was not enough room for
an adequate drain board, but a small
one was improvised SO that the water
would drain back into the dishpan
sink. A lower shelf was put In to
hold the water bucket.
Handy Work Table.
A work table about three feet wide
and six feet long was designed and
built from old lumber. One end was
set against the kitchen wall, and the
other had two. drawers fitted, with
glass knobs salvaged from an old
piece of furniture In the attic. A set
Of movable shelves was placed about
two feet back of the drawers, allow
Ing a convenient work space. while
the other end OF the table is used as
a dInIng-ta for the family. On
these shelves were set containers for
groceries made from lard cans, bak-
ing-powder tins, and other boxes,
enameled blue and neatly arranged.
Cookbooks and glass Jars for other
supplies completed the shelves. The
work table was painted white and
given q coat of waterproof varnish. An
ingenious place for small equipment
that could be hung up, such as basting
spoons, potato masher and egg beater,
was made of rack for buggy whips
also enameled blue, which was found
in the store formerly run by the
family.
A lamp with a tin reflector was
changed from its former position and
placed to throw light over the stove.
The fixture was painted to match the
wall. A rack was placed back Of the
stove from which to hang frying pans.
A towel rack was placed near the
stove and another back of the door.
Little changes of this sort often mean
great saving of effort and time in
doing the housework.

CPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Virginia housewives, inspired by the
efforts of their home demonstration
agents, have been spruclng up their
kitchens and competing with each 9TH
er in putting in conveniences and
labor-savlng devices at small cost.
The prize winning kitchen in Albe-
marie county was improved for total
cash outlay OF only $370, most of
which was spent for paint and three
new window shades. The woman who
won the prize did all Of the work
herself with the exception of little
help from one of the men in the fam
fly in making a table and altering the
doors to the kitchen.
Details Of improvements.
Some of the improvements this wom-
HH~nade may offer suggestions to 9th
er housewives. In a report received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. the following details
were given:
She filled in cracks and breaks in
the walls and ceiling with plaster of
paris, and then tackled gray building
paper on them. This was treated with
cream-colored wall paint. Cracks in
the floor were filled and the whole
oiled. With the mans help, windows
were cased and old doors were made
over and painted. A little old table
was braced, enameled white. and fitted
with, casters, to serve as a tea wagon.
An old food safe was painted white
and put on casters. The woodbox
was raised on legs, to be reached
more easily, and the whole painted.
child's chair was made into
kitchen stool. On the back of the
kitchen door a shelf rack was made
for brooms and the mop, which had
large nickel rings from old curtains
screwed into their ends to serve as
hangers. Three new window shades
were purchased at a cost Of $1.30, the
largest single expenditure.
Perhaps the most unusual improve
ment in this kitchen was the making
of a sink out of an old dishpan, which
