WORK IN HOME
CAN BE EASED
3 ON HOT DAYS
Electric Range Will Give
Housewife More
Freedom.

Probably every experienced house
keeper has her housekeeping down
to such a routine that she is fire.
Quenuy apt to say: "Oh, it's no
trouble at all"
Haiti, and her own skill, may
bind her TO the fact TIA. she may
miss a lot of pleasant FIRE dom for
summer pleasure.
There are few houses where sum
mer living can't be made easier.
Taking down the draperies isn't all
there is to the business of making
home more adaptable to summer
needs.
There is likewise the business Of
having them equipped for cool and
easy, pleasant and efficient work.
The electrical appliances are great
gifts to women here.
Heat Reduced
The cool electric stove with its
automatic timing controls would
give any housewife a world of free
dom. An electric fan would make
the kitchen more bearable. Nike S,
Tefrigerators, vacuum cleaners, all
time and labor saving devices would
be a boon.
Then there is the matter of what
is to be put away for summer and
what is TO be kept out, to reduce
the cleaning load. Take table linens,
for example. Sheer habit often is
responsible alone for the continued
use of white linens for dinner and
other cloths for other meals.
Such things need painStaking
ironing. OF course, if there is an
electric ironer in the house, the task
is easier. But why not use luncheon
sets, which are cooler, prettier and
easy to do up.
Ironing Avoided
You might put away the linen
hand towels for summer and use
Turkish towels altogether. They
need no ironing. Silver, which re-
quires so rGuch polishing, can be
stored away in non-tarnish tissue
paper.
Pretty cottons should replace
fancy bedspreads. Upholstered fur
niture is easier to care for in neat
slip covers.
Many a small rug could be put
away for the summer, and this
would leave floors a little more bare
and cool looking.
Dishes can be scalded and left in
a drainer to dry instead of being
labOriouSly washed.
There are many ways in which a
housewife who wants to enjoy sum-
mer can tighten her work.

MACHINERY ARRIVES

Three truck loads of machinery
for the Corner Stone Mining &
Milling Co. arrived at the mine last
Sunday bearing twenty-eight tons.
according to H. w. Desgranges, who
with Ernest Albrecht were at the
property to receive the shipment.
Another truck due to arrive next
Monday will complete the mach
inery for the plant.
Mr.. Albrecht, who has had much
experience In mining and milling
expressed himself as highly pleas
ed with the durability and size of
the machinery. The plant will be
of much larger capacity than orig
inally planned. It was found by
test runs by the Harley A. Sill Lab
oratories for Mr. Desgranges, while
in Los Angeles. that the ore can be
successfully concentrated to q ra-
ito of Is to /. BY increasing the
size Of the crusher and pulverizer
the quantity of ore 1t will handle

completed sufficiently to receive
the machinery and crew is now
busy installing the same. Barring
unforeseen delays the plant should
be in operation by the first Of July.

RESIDENTERS
WANT MORE OF
STREET OILING
Council Pestered over Repeat
ed Requests for Extension
of Street Improvement;
Property Owners to Help

The life of e city official in a
small town Is one continual round
of wrangles, according to them.
This is especially true since the city
started its program Of street i'm
provement.
The mayor and the councilmen
have been pestered day and night
since the work started-and espec-
tally since some of it has been COM
pleted- begging for extensions.
Residents in every portion Of the
city cannot understand why it is
that some streets can get the fine
smooth, dust-free coating while
they still have to bump over cob
blestones and waller in dust.
The matter is simple one, so
far as the city Is concerned. Under
the budget system used by the city
only SO much money can be spent
on street work. This, even, has to
be approved by the state highway
department, which is finicky to the
last degree in giving its official
OK.
The city tax levies for street
work, with decreased property
valuation, can only be depended
upon to raise a certain sum each
year. The state allocates a GER
tain portion Of the gas tax money
to the cities, based on per capt.
ia population. These funds, in adj
dition to permissible local inn
provement assessment, are the only
funds which the city can spend on
roads, no matter what they want
to do in the way of improvements.
Thus the city is strictly limited
in the amount of work it can do in
a given year. In some cases, where
the property owners are anxious to
have an improvement made, they
can assess themselves for q certain
portion Of the work, as was done
on the oiling job on First Avenue.
Repeated requests for extensions
Of the work are being made of the
council. Where the property owners
are willing to stand a portion of the
expense, every effort is being made
to cooperate with them. This action
was indicated at the regular meet
ing OF the council Tuesday evening
when the requests of the past week
we're reported. The council is to !
make a determined effort to oil I
Avenue A, as property owners along
hat street seem anxious to do their
,uu share in standing the expense
If the improvement.
Speed is essential, it was pointed i
,ut at the meeting Tuesday night,
20 as to take advantage of the road
equipment which is now being used.

material, roofing, paints, etc.
The crew, just starting In this

as residents feel they may require.
The information clerk will have

The whole project Is one in which
the administration is attempting to
bring the country out of the dumps
and encourage a revival of industry
in all lines. AS MIR. Roberts, the
state supervisor explained to the
local committee, the act was franz
ed for the purpose of starting the
wheels Of industry and should have

the World War sent forth its sons
Ia response to the nations call.
They served CALAMITY in the ma
TONS defense, and Of their numbers
some were called upon to lay down
their lives in that service. The
memory of their patriotic sacrifice
should always be held dear by the
citizens of Kennewick.
"Others of these brave young men
were called upon to sacrifice, not
life, but the health and strength
which makes life worth while. Their
families and the families Of the dead
also were required to make heavy
sacrifices. These disabled and de-
pendents are still paying the hui
man price of our nations World
War poppy as the symbol of sacri-
flee and the memorial flower Of the
dead. Each year on the Saturday
before Memorial Day the men of the
American Legion and the women of
the American Legion Auxiliary ask
us to wear this flower in tribute to
the nations fallen defenders and to
give in exchange for the flower a
contribution to aid the wars living
victims.
Therefore, I, Alfred Anon, May
or Of Kennewick, urge all citizens
to honor the dead and aid the iv-
Ing by wearing the American Lee
gion and American Legion Auxili-
Dry memorial poppy on Saturday,
May IS.
"And to that end, do hereby
proclaim Saturday, May IS, Poppy
Day In the City of KenneWick."
