Did ii ever occur to you that an ex-
cellent place to install a radio IS IN
the kitchen? If you have servants
you may be sure that they will APP
preciate it and be much more content
in their work. 1t will not be half such
hardship to have to remain in to
wash dishes after late dinner if they
can listen to the voices on the air as
they do so. And If you have no maids,
and must do your own kitchen work,
then you will find it an excellent place
for radio. How often some one COM
plains that it is very trying to have
a radio going while they are trying
to talk with guests or members of
the family! In the kitchen there are
hours when you are obliged to be
more or less silent-while you are
doing" the vegetables. baking cakes,
Stutfing the roast, washing dishes,
etc. and the work is never so absorb
ing that you cannot listen to a radio
program at the same time.
If you could see through a goodly
number of the kitchens in the larger.
better equipped houses Of the land
you would find a number of them
supplied with various sorts of music
machines. With mechanical music of
this sort the kitchen floor proves to
be a very nice dance floor when din
ner dishes are at last out of the way.
Just put on a record for diversion
while you're ironing.
Quite often you find a sewing ma
chine in the kitchen. For the woman
who does her own work this is some
times a convenient arrangement. for
she can do plain sewing in sunny
corner of the kitchen where she can
keep a watChful eye on the dinner. A
clever cook or maid sometimes is glad
enough to do the mending of house
hold linens, making of dish towels,
busters, etc, on the sewing machine
if in return for this service she is per-
mitted to do sewing for herself when
she has leisure hour or two i'll the
afternoon.
The kitchen clock is in a way one
of the most important clocks in the
house. 1t should keep perfect time
if you want to have meals served
puuctually. In some kitchens you
never find anything but slightly bat
tered. discarded alarm clock. Any old
clock is good enough for the Kitchen
seems to be the theory. a fine white
enameled clock attached to the wall
of your kitchen is, however, a worth
while investment.
Every kitchen ought to have hand
basin and "a soap dish containing

Meanwhile the building material

SPRING STIMULATING
DEMAND FOR LUMBER
~
Wholesale Market in Chief Centers
Increases 20 Per Cent Dur
ing Week.

The Spread of Spring weather
throughout the country is proving a
great stimulus to lumber demandy
wholesale sales last week in important
distributing territories having in
creased as much as 20 per cent over
the level of the previous week. This
improvement, it is pointed out by the
American Lumberman, Chicago, is too
recent to be reflected in figures FOR
the last week for which complete re-
ports are available, that ended April
II, and it has not yet extended to all
consuming regions.
With increased demand has come a
stiffening of prices, chiefly of the soft
woods so far. They had reached rock
bottom during the long spell of bad
weather that has been restricting de-
mand in the last month or so, and
many producers believe they will be
justified in putting moderate increases
into effect as soon as consumption
reaches SeaSOnable volume.
During the week ended April II
347 mills had production of 10 per
cent above their normal. but booked
orders for only per cent above 1t.
Their shipments, however, practically
equaled their actual production. For
the first Is weeks of the year, the
principal softwood mills received
orders for s per cent more than they

that statistically they continue in a
very strong position.
Coast fir mills sold per cent more
than they cut during the week ended
April II. The rail trade is the strong
est division of the market though,
with signs of strength developing, for
eign buyers are taking larger amounts.
Rail trade is sure to expand, and
when California and Atlantic Coast
distributors begin stocking for the
building these regions have ahead of
them, some stiffening in the list may
be expected.
Southern pine orders fell 3 per cent

Soundings BY Echo

The new method of taking sound
ings, now used on shipboard, is called
the echo method. 1t has several dis
tinct advantages over older methods,
such as increased rapidity, lower op-
GRAFTON cost and greater accuracy The
outfit employs no lead or line and con-
sists chiefly of an electric transmitting
unit which sends sound vibrations
through the water. AS they rebound
from the oceans floor they are regis
tered on a receiver in the ship. The
depth of the water is determined by
noting the lapse of time between the
sending and receiving of the signals.
The apparatus is set into operation
simply by pressing a button. The re-
suits are registered usually, so that
the navigating officer can determine
the depth as easily as he can tell time
by looking at a clock.

WOMAN HIT BY BOY ON BICYCLE
SERIOUSLY HURT

Mrs. Eva Miller of 815 North Tenth
avenue, was taken to st. Joesph'S
hospital at $50 Tuesday night in an
unconscious condition from injuries
suffered when she was struck by
bicycle ridden by an unidentified boy
on Grand avenue.
Police officers and hospital attend
ants were unable to learn last night
whether there were any eye-witnesses
to the accident and the name of the
cyclist had not been ascertained at
a late hour last night.
County Physician Harry J. Felch
and DR.. W. C. Ellis attended Mrs.
Miller and found that she was suf-
fering from a broken left clavicle and
possible head injuries. Mrs. Miller
partially regained consciousness sew
eral hours after the accident, but was
unable to remember any details.

TELLING 1T TO SWEENEY

"Sweeney's Gardens" Judging from
the Arizona Gazette Of = edhesdav,
they have been telling it to Swee-
ney." Such conditions existing make
the average father and mother sit
up and take notice and wonder where
their children are enjoying recreation.
If our sons and daughters are to be
allowed to visit roadhouses under the
guise of the law such as is said to
exist, maybe it would be better to
eliminate them entirely and resort to
community centers built by each COM
munity or school auditorium, etc. The
failures to create an interest in the
average young person in the past is
due to the fact that too many restric-
tions are placed The young people
are not half bad if you don't restrict
them too severe. Their intellectual
powers must also be given consider
alton. Too many restrictions drive
so many young people to extremes
that they later regret. The road
houses of this country seem to yawn
for the ambitious, spirited young peo-
pie. There must be some way to
cope with it.
