There are two essentials in kitchens
that cannot take a secondary place
These are convenience of arrange
ment and completeness of equipment.
About these two things decoration
must be introduced. 1t must never
interfere with either of these major
matters. 1t must add to them the
beauty of cleanliness and the charm
of attractiveness,
Kitchens may be smart, coZy,
cheerful or dignified, They should
not be dainty, for that implies deli
cacy that is somewhat homogeneous
with pots and pans, food choppers
and pressure cookers. The kitchen
should be immaculate, and this elc'
ment should be emphasized in the
decoration.
First Considerations.
It is fortunate that convenience is
no barrier to decorative treatment.
1t is indeed an aid, since rooms suit
ably arranged are far on the road TO
attractiveness. There is a suggestion
of the fitness of things" in we'll
thought-out placing of articles in re-
lation to their use. Constructively
this is right. therefore it is satisfy
ing. Whether the kitchen is large or
small, this holds true. Therefore
when you start to decorate your
kitchen the first thing to do is to see
that each furnishing and every
utensil is in as convenient a spot as
possible.
For Convenience.
To aid in this it may be necessary
to put up shelves or closets. These
may be used instead Of the compre.
hensive kitchen cabinets that GER
tainly save steps. One ingenious
young homemaker used an old-fa shion-
ed washstand, painted white and rim
med with yellow flor the kitchen had
northern exposure). and above this
she put set of narrow shelves made
from the sides of box. The shelves
were made from the strips taken

she forgot all about the little Chuck,

HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
Names Of the Months.

The names of our months reflect In
teresting light on ancient history and
mythology. They received their appel
lations before our calendar was in it's
present form.
January was named for Janus, the
tWo-faced Roman god. Janus stood
for the beginning of things, and it was
thought fitting that one face should
look back over the year just passed,
while the other looked ahead for things
bright and new.
February was named for the feast
Of Februa, or Publication, Il Roman
feast, which was held on the 18th of
this month.
March was named for the fierce war
god, Mars.
April, which heralds Spring, and the
softening of the earth, derives it's
name from the Latin word Aperio,
which means TO open or soften.
May was dedicated to Maia, the
mother of the winged god Mercury.
June, the month Of roses, was named
in honor Of the fair goddess Juno, con-
Sldered 10 be the queen of all the beau,
ties Of Olympus.
July commentaries Juliua Caesar,
who celebrated his birthday in that
month.
august was named for the Emperor
Augustus. famous in Roman history
September, which was at that time
the seventh month of the year, was
given its name from the Latin Sep.

names from the Latin words for eight.

these to match the stand beneath. and
together they made an excellent Cahi-

band and little folk.
Cupboards by a sink will be found
most convenient. In them can be
cleansing agents, pans and cooking
utensils, hidden from sight in a neat
and handy way.
Color.
Color plays an important part in
the decorative scheme. 1t can be in
the painted parts of the room and in
the curtains and table covers and in
the floor covering. Everything should
be washable, for in this way the room
can be kept Immediately clean.

fabrics for kitchen decoration. I'm

curtains that often are equally at
tractive.
Wise Measure.
When a window is close to a stove,
it's treatment must be careful. The
curtains need not be omitted, but
they may have to be on rods at the
bottom as well as the top to prevent
the wind blowing them out danger
ously over the fire.
Simplicity.
Keep the decoration very simple.
Let color be emphasized to get cool
ness or sunshine effects. White is
not 50 stressed in kitchens as a little
while ago. This paint requires more
care than any other. The white of
fresh towels is welcome against other
color. Schemes such as yellow and
white for north kitchens, blue and
white for south ones and green for
crisp freshness are excellent.

 "Put a pretty woman beside your name in the newspapers-wheth you make nuts and bolts, penwip- CTS or motor cars-and you have everybody noticing you. which is the first step toward buying" ad- vertisers say.
 To carry out the idea. each of the sixteen national and interna- tional advertisers who placed ex- hibits at the show were represent ed by pretty girl.
 "Tell the women." the experts explained, "as they are the worlds spenders and the ones to whom ad- vertising must be directed. Wom- en spend 80 per cent of the worlds money, directly or indirectly. Men make the money but women spend it, therefore talk to the women"

San Angelo, Texas, (P)-Owners of pecan timber have quite an edge on cattlemen in this district in the size of profits. says Frank J. Wtllman. pecan tree specialist.
 Here are Willman's figures: A big pecan tree will produce 100 pounds of native oceans yearly. An acre will stand ten big trees and the nuts should be worth about $15. of which S1O should be profit. That means s1O0 an acre yearly. making the acre worth at 10 per cent-$1.0O0. For a COW or steer 10 acres are requir- ed, which would under ordinary conditions. bring net profit of $10.

SUPREME COURE SCSTAINS
 ALASKA BONE DRY LAW

Washington. Oct. 12, tPy-The Alaska Bone Dry Law remains in full force and effect, notwithstand ing the subsequent enactment by the National Congress of the Ma tional Prohibition Law. known as the Volstead Act. Assistant Attor- ney General Willebrandt contended in the United States Supreme Court in the case won in the lower Fed eral Courts by Ole Berkness.
 The Assistant Attorney General explained that under the Bone Dry Statutes the possession of liquor in ones home in Alaska is unlawful. while under the Federal Prohibit tion Law liquor may lawfully be kept in the home.
 MT. Willebrandt insisted that the Congress intended. because of the peculiar conditions existing in Alaska. to keep the Bone Dry Law in effect.
 Berkness, who was not repre- sented by counsel during the oral argument, was arrested in Alaska under the Alaska Law for the pos session of liquor in his home. and was successful in the trial of his case in the lower Courts on the contention that the Search Warrant under which his home was raided was an unlawful Warrant.

SIX KILLED, MANY HURT,
 WHEN PAPER MILL FALLS

Appleton, Wis. Oct. 8. R)-Six men were killed and fifteen were injured, two seriously, when the falling floors and the crumbling walls of the Kimberly Clark Paper Company crushed them. Mine oth- CTS are believed to have been trap ped in the wreckage and are now being sought. their fate being un- certain.
 Thirty men were trapped in a two story brick unit of the large paper mill around which the vil- lase of Kimberly. with thirteen hundred inhabitants Is built. When the structure came toppling down. the coroner said he was unable to assign cause of death in the cases of the six dead men, for the engin- eers were unable to determine what prcipitated the collapse.
