If you possibly can, have a sep
arate laundry room. 1t is very de-
sirable to keep the handling of soiled
clothing and the odors and steam or
laundry work from the kitchen, where
food is prepared.
The size Of such laundry depends
on the number and size Of the articles
with which it is equipped. The accom-
panying floor plan was prepared by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. 1t shows a convenient ar
rangement Of the standard pieces of
equipment that have been found use
full in the average sized family. The
drier and ironer may be omitted with
out destroying the unity of the scheme.
The larger table Is so placed that it
can be used for sorting the soiled
clothes, and with the folding rack
above, also furnishes convenient
place for the finished garments after
they are ironed either on the board
or on the ironer.
Arrangement OF Tubs.
Sometimes the plumbing arrange
ments in the house demand that the
tubs be left near the wall. A line
drawn across the plan behind the tubs
will show good arrangement for such
a situation, although the center posi-
ton for the tubs is to be preferred.
Hot and cold water can be piped to
the tubs; or, If this is not possible,
any other source of water may be 10

take Lydia to parties Kent, with his
black eyes and hair, his rudy skin
and broad shoulders, was good to look
on and was giving his speech easily
and well, but Lydia was seeing him
in red bathing suit as he hung Flor

willow. What a dear he had been
Now it all was different They were
grown up. This day marked their
growing up and Kent didn't want to
take her to parties.
Kent bowed and took his seat. The
quartette sang and somebody prodded
Lydia smartly in the back. She made
her way up to the platform and be-
gan to speak automatically.
Amos with tight clenched fists and
Lizzie with her lips thin seam of
nervous compression, were swelled
with vanity and torn with fear lest
she forget her lines.
But John Levine, who had dashed in
late and stood unnoticed in the crowd
under the gallery listened intently,,
while he yearned over Lydia's imma-
ture beauty like mother.
"And So" she ended, when we say
good-by, you all must remember that
we go out into the world resolved to
live up to our motto. That we believe

the convenience Of the built-in ironing
board and the electric iron. The Illus
tration, taken by the United States
Department Of Agriculture In Utah
farm home, shows good arrange
ment for both of these conveniences
In connection with a breakfast alcove.
The folding ironing board Is built into
a small space In the wall. Light from
the alcove falls over the workers
shoulder on the ironing board, and the
nearby table and bench make 1t pos
sible to sprinkle the clothes or sort
the finished pieces easily, or pile up
small fat work, like handkerchiefs or
table napkins. Sprinkling is done
more evenly and quickly, 1t may be
said in passing, If you use rubber
spray head on medium-sized bottle,
or a clean, round whisk broom. There
should be folding clothes horse with
In reach of the worker for airing and
drying the finished work, or some
other convenient arrangement. Much
Of the ironing can be done sitting
down If high stool is provided.
The electric iron is one of the best
labor-saving devices now available.
Buy from reputable company
equipped to make any needed repairs,
and when purchasing see that the
voltage corresponds to that supplied
you by the local power plant. With
proper care an electric iron will last
long time. Avoid dropping 1t. or
pulling the plug out by the wire at
either end, as this Is apt to break the
fine wires through which the connec-
ton is made. Always disconnect the
iron when you are through using 1t,
even for a short time, and stand 1t on
end to cool. Store 1t in clean, dry
place. Examine the cord. frequently
for breaks. Sometimes these can be
repaired with insulating tape. Irons
put away for any length OF time
should be creased.
In large family the heated ironing
machine is often used in addition to
or in place of the electric iron. AS
in purchasing other large pieces of
equipment, 1t Is wise to examine the
various types on the market carefully
before making selection.

Frying Potatoes Right
Wov Is Fully EXPLAINED

Every home maker, of course, knows
how to fry potatoes, but not every one
seems to know how to fry them so that
they will be brown, crisp and not
greasy. For children, especially, foods
should not be greasy and should have
no suggestion of burned fat. Cooked
potatoes can be Drowned quickly and
easily In a little butter at rather low
temperature, and for children this
seems the best way of browning them.
In any case, slow cooking In only
little fat makes a golden brown crust
over the outside, while the inside re-
mains soft and yet does not absorb the
fat. Use heavy skillet, let the pieces
brown on one side before turning
them, and cooking only enough at one
time to cover the bottom of the skillet
In a fairly thin layer, are three other
fine points in frying potatoes to turn.

Chance of Quick
Raise in Sport

The world of sport probably
offers the biggest increase in
salary in the shortest length OF
dime of all lines of endeavor.
Back in 1916 Gene Tunney re-
ceived SEQ for his first fight. He
received that sum for knocking
"Kayo" Jaffe fiatter than
photograph record in three
rounds.
Ten years later, in 1926, this
very same Gene Tunney re-
eeived 100000 for relieving Jack
Dempsey of the worlds heavy
weight championship at the end
of ten rounds of fighting at Phil
adelphia.
In his Jaffe scrap, Tunney was
paid at the rate of 1861 per
minute for less than nine min
utes of actual scrapping, where
as ten years later he received
the royal sum of $6,667 per min
ute for his Commute argument
with Jack Dempsey. When Tun-
ney defends his title, his salary
will increase accordingly.

tor gave them a shock when he ex-
planned:
1.-The reason was simple. The team
was better coached than ours, and
they played better football"
That is the doctor all over. He is
that kind of man.
He has done much for Ohio State
and a great deal for football. Also
he has written the best book on foot
ball that has yet been printed.
We hope, writes H. G. Salsinger In
Detroit News, that one of these days
the doctor receives soms of the credit

derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed. That all men
are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. And that because the
New England people in the Middle
West are far from the cradle of lib
erty where these ideas were born, liv-
ing among foreigners 1t behooves the
members of our class to carry our
motto into their daily life. Love Of
country leads US, and so farewell !"
1t was a foolish, sentimental little
speech with one or two real thoughts
in 1t and John Levine smiled even
while the tears filed his eyes. He
told himself that no one, least of all
probably Lydia herself. realized the
cynical application of the class motto
to Lake City conditions.
The diplomas were distributed. The
great morning was over.
After dinner Amos rushed back to
the factory. Lydia hung the gradua-
ton gown away In her closet and she
and Adam spent the afternoon on the
lake shore, where the delicate SPLEEN
dor and perfume of June endeavored
In vain to prove to Lydia that the
senior ball was of no consequence.
After the supper dishes were washed
she sat on the steps in the dusk with
Adams head in her lap when a car
riage rolled up to the gate. A man
came swiftly up the path. Lydia with
a gasp recognized Billy Norton. Billy,
wearing a dress suit and carrying a
bouquet of flowers!
"Good evening, LYDIA" he said
calmly. "Will you go to the senior
ball with me|
| Lydia was too much overcome for
speech. She never before had seen a
man In a dress suit! 1t made of Billy
man of the world. Where was the
country boy she had snubbed?
"Here are some flowers hope you'll
wear" Billy went on, formally.
Would you mind hurrying? It's pref
ty late"
"Oh, Billyw breathed Lydia, at last.
Aren't you an angelo
| In half an hour the two were seated
in the carriage, an actual, party-go-
ing, city hack, and humping gayly on
the way to the ball.
Lydia's first dancing party! Lydia's
first man escort and he wearing q
dress suit and there were only two
others In the hall Who would at
tempt to describe the Joy of that eve
ming? Who would have recognized
Billy, the farmer, in the cool blond
person who calmly appropriated Ly
dia's card, taking half the dances fol
himself and parceling out the rest
grudgingly and Discriminatory.
For three hours, Lydia spur
through a golden haze of melody ant
rhythm. Into three hours she
crammed all the JOY, all the thrill
that she had dreamed of through hel
lonely girlhood. At half after clever
she was Waiting with Billy.

At the end, Lydia looked up will
