ession and worked out scheme some

session and worked out scheme some
thing like this:
FIRST a light In the center Of the
kitchen depending from ceiling. For
this and for ceiling light over the
sink they preferred fixture which
was rigid, rather than the swinging,
hanging cord type.
They wanted light in the under
part Of the range hood so placed that
IL illuminated the whole range top.
Duplex convenience outlets were
needed near cupboards for electric mo-
tors, beaters, coasters. They wanted
an outlet switch for the electric clock
and a special purpose one for the re-
frigerator.
In the breakfast nook THY wanted
an overhead light. Near the built-in
table or the table pushed to the wall
they wanted two or three way con-
venience outlet
Here they had the telephone con-
nection as well, since they like home
with intercommunication telephones.
The kitchen had three-way switch
near the door leading from the dining
room. The switch for the breakfast
nook was just inside the archway, so
that it could be reached easily from the
kitchen. On the whole they felt quite
pleased with their planning and Peter
said he believed the speaker Of the eve
ming would approve their plan.

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of my dear father. who
died November 8, 1926:
My heart still aches with sadness.
My eyes shed a tear;
God only knows how | miss him.
As it dawns another year
Although / cannot clasp his hand.
His face ] cannot see,
But let this little token show
He's in my memory.
For many years his guiding hand
Had toiled and wrought n frightened
band,
About his children and his home.
AS a fathers love to all his own.
And now he's gone: Oh! may he rest
Among the angels who have blessed
His weary soul and careworn heart
Through all his years that seemed so
dark.
Tenderly we nursed and cared for him,
Tried i'm vain to restore his health.
Praying he might longer stay,
To us that meant more than wealt H.
When father breathes his last fare
well,
This stroke seems more than tongue
can tell;
This world seems like another place
Without the smile of fathers face.

THE Bum
BY ]. T.. Donald

5y j. T.. Donald
When we speak of this depression.
To what does it amount;
There's lots of buns who never work
Just buns of no account.
They walk the streets from day to
day,
They make an awful roar;
They cant get work so they must
starVe
And beg from door TO door.
Give them job that will Just pay,
What is just right to give;
They turn their back and say: oil
no;
That's not enough to live.
If we could take census now,
And clear those buns away;
There would be less depression felt,
And bring a brighter day.
But no they cent as unemployed,
Honest men the same;
And thus the count may stagger us,
'Tis just the bum's own game.
