So the little Forkhorns grew and

were big enough to move about a netle

they saw anything moving, no matter

1t was that many times they did this

did it when they caught sight CT a

later they saw her return. She didn't

Household Methods

Kitchens.

House builders and planners have
recently discovered that one very good
place to save space is in the kitchen.
But the small kitchen Is a failure. a
source OF endless worry to the house
vile who tries to work in it. if it is
not planned with care and eouipDed
with well planned shelves and cup
boards. In the small kitchen there
literally must be a place for everything.
Ir the large kitchen order can be pre-
served even when things are OCCASION
ally misplaced. but in the small kitchen
csrelessness in this direction means
confusion.
We have grown accustomed to having
the space beneath sink and drain
boards left exposed. Most of us re-
member the old-time cupboard beneath
the old-time kitchen sink "a rather
damp, distressing place at best. Most
houseworkers kept the securing board
Herewith an accumulation Of scour-
ing bricks and little cloths for cleaning
knives. Fortunately these unsiphtly
cupboards were ripped out when open
plumbing came into fashion Still
there space beneath sink and drain
board that can be used to advantage
in the very small kitchen. There can
be an open place directly around The
pipes with cupboards at each side. The
cupboard should, of course. have doors
to keep out dust when sweeping. Prop
erly fitted with cupboard doors this
offers good enough place TO keep ali
bulky baking dishes and cooking
dishes-the vegetable press, the meal
grinder, etc.
The space over a door offers a not
inappropriate space for a shelf II YOU
really are at a loss for room in your
small kitchen. Remember that this
will be warm spot, usually dry. Such
conditions make it a satisfactory place
to keep bars Of soap neatly arranged
with their wrappers on, supplies Of soap
powder, securing powder, bluing, starch
and other laundry and cleaning sup
plies.

was an enemy and would never forget 1t.
Then came the wonderful day when
Mother told them to follow her and
led them out of the thicket into the
Great World They were not afraid.
Why should they be with Mother right
with them? They had yet to learn
what dangerous place the Great
World is for little folk and at times
even for older folk But Mother knew,
and this was for her an even more
anxious time than when they had lain
helpless in the tllicket Over and over
she told them what they must do if
danger should appear.

them how to crouch and steal into the
thickest cover

gave the danger signal and the twins

So they followed Mother and learned
other things. She showed them how
to jump over log, jumping with all
four feet together and landing the
same way This was fun, and they
looked for logs and fallen trees to Jump
over, not guessing at all that they were
being taught a most important lesson.
Sometimes Mother would jump over
something so high that they had to
go around 1t, and they were filled with
admiration for the way she sailed up
and over. and longed for the time when
they could do likewise.
We Mule Deer are not runners, but
jumpers" she explained to them, and
we are safest in rough country. where
there is much to Jump over, and those

Dollars.

Contrary to popular belief the word
dollar as applied to unit of currency
Is not of American origin at all The
name dollar is derived from q town
named Joachimsthal in Bohemia. where
the noble counts of Schlick, in the
18th century. struck large coins Of sill
YER from metal mined in their neigh
borhood. These coins became known
as "Joachimsthaler That was a
rather long name for any people to
use in everyday trade and conversation
and it became shortened to "thaler."
In low Germany the word "daler"
corresponds to the Bohemian thaler
and it is from the German daler that
our own word, which is English, is
derived
why the word was used is another
story. The mines in Bohemia were
very rich in silver, and the coins kept
up the reputation of the mines Hence
the word thaler, or daler, or dollar,
stood in peoples minds for good money.
The word became known in many
tongues. AS early as 1905 the word
was known in Europe, Africa and Asia.

A sweater of this sort made from

Of course that the jacket sleeves are

DELAY OF CENTER MODEL
CONTINUES TO CUT COST

The official cardboard model of the
Municipal Center buildings, long over
due. has not arrived, and municipal au-
thorities are beginning to give up hope
that 1t will ever get here.
The model was due January ]. 1t has
been promised almost daily since, but is
still. as far as known, incomplete. The
contract, let TO the Ricci Studio, New
York City, calls for delivery January
and fixes the price at $1,000, less S25
per day for every day after the contract
time by way of liquidated damages.
Apparently If the delivery is delayed
long enough, the District could get the
model for nothing. Already $500 has
been sliced of the contract price.
The cardboard model was intended
for use in explaining the project to
members of the Appropriations Commit
tees who hold the purse string over the
Districts expenses for the buildings
From this point Of view, no real harm
was done, since large model of wood
and modelling clay was made by Eric
Menke, one of Municipal Architect Al
bert L. Harris assistants, and this
showed the projected buildings in great
detail. Several of the members of the
committee expressed admiration for the
models.
If the cardboard model should arrive,
It will be placed on exhibit with the
models of the Federal buildings pro-
posed for the Mall-Pennsylvania avenue
development already made. The mode
will be built to the same scale as that OF
the Federal models.
