lost motion.
The first step is to place equipment
SO that work progresses from right to
left. Movements are to the left. This
is logical since the left hand usually
deposits utensils while the right hand
does the work. Studies show that when
the cabinet, or in some cases cupboard
with table beneath, is directly to the
left of the sink, much less effort is re-
CURED and work is expedited.

The chief step-saving systems hinge
upon using refrigerator and sink as the
base. 1t is from this point that prepara-
ton of food starts. The kitchen cabinet

and the stove is the fourth point of con-

cost for the installation of this system
was less than $IOO.
Miss Lillian l.. Keller, University of
Tennessee Extension Specialist, explains
that many kitchens can be made more
comfortable by putting in an extra win
dow and obtaining better ventilation.
Two windows provided by putting the
lower sash of long narrow window on
level with the upper sash will give
much better light and ventilation.

blanket on the dry gravel in a hole
under pile Of boulders.
At sight of the fat with the frozen
caribou and smoked moose meat in
the pack, Lilith at once gathered dry
moss. This time the raw caribou flesh
was scared over q fat-fed fire of the
moss before being eaten. After the
meal, Garth opened the go1d-mount-
ed cigar case and handed one of the
Havanas to its owner.
Mr.. Ramil1 hastily bit off the end
and lighted the cigar in the flame of
the fat and moss fire. AS he put it to
his lips he hesitated. then, with a
perceptible effort, he turned to offer
it to his daughter.
'Uh-ladies first, my dear"
Li1ith started to thrust out her
hand. Something seemed to catch it.
She glanced at Garth and stood up.
'sYou need it more than I do, Dad.
Good night, everybody. I'm dog tir-
ed"
Her father and Hubby looked at

uphill, with lungs belowsing for air.
One would only have to hold back.
But that was the rub--the holding
back. The south side of the pass was
far sleeper than the north, and there
was no glacier to offer stretches of
smooth footing. The bed Of the
sharply tilted cleft frequently drop
ped over small cliffs Between these
high Lodges were slides of frost
shattered rocks. Patches of ice here
and there made the footing doubly
treacherous.
In places Garth had to drop his
pack down before him. Not infre-
quently, even Lilith had to be given
a hand down slippery chutes, or
caught in Garth's appraised arms
when Huxby lowered her off the
edge of a sharp drop. Still oftener,
her father had to be helped by both
Garth and Huxby.
Garth himself was ready to quit
when, in the twilight, then came
down to where the steep pitch eased
off on a small patch of tundra. He

The girl whom her own father
could not command met the order
with cheerful nod. She started
briskly off up the gap. Garth's
steady climbing brought him to the
top of the pass few PAGES behind
Hubby and Mr.. Ramill. Lilith was
sprinkling salt on slices of the raw
meat.
The pass was barren even of Carl
bou moss. The meat had to be eaten
cold or uncooked, or not at all. Six
hours had passed since the party
left the camp in the valley bottom.
After the long, hard climb, even the
girl was hungry enough to have
eaten rawhide The caribou meat was
tender, and the first taste Of salt
since the party had come to the val
ley turned the meal into a feast.
Less than half of the 20-pound
chunk of caribou remained by the
time even Mr.. Ramill found he could
eat no more.
All were so refreshed by the food
and rest that no one objected when
Garth gave the word to start on.
There would be no more slogging
