Household Refrigerator

To get the best results from the
household refrigerator, it is well to
decide in advance which foods are
to 60 in and which ones to be
taken out instead of bordering the
question while the door is open.
Every time that happens the tenn
perature goes up and the longer the
door stays open the higher up it
goes. Another wise precaution is to
make sure that cooked foods are
well cooled before putting them into
the food chest, otherwise the heat
and moisture generated will also
cause the temperature to rise.

Make Modern Laundry Out
OF Waste Space Upstairs

Waste space upstairs can easily
be fashioned into a modern laundry,
frightened up with paint and hung
with some of those attractive low
priced curtains that are always bob
bling up in such variety. If you
read floor plans of modern houses
you have discovered the growing
trend for Observation-Disclosures.
Equipment designed for such rooms
includes washers that pump them
selves empty.
Ironing has always been an up
stairs operation, possibly because it
is easier to transfer ironed clothes
to proper storing places without dam
ger of over-mussing. Many ironers
have table tops that serve a real
purpose in the small kitchen, and
there are washers tailored to kitch-
en- size, too.

House Cleaning Is Made
Easy by Use Of Vacuum

The days are gone forever when,
to clean a rug thoroughly, it was
necessary to hang it on clothesline
or lay it on the grass and beat it
with a bamboo or steel wire con-
traption.
Today, thanks to electricity
and the vacuum cleaner, rug beat
ing is a thing of the past in mil
lions Of homes. Moreover, in addi-
ton to eliminating much work and
drudgery, the vacuum cleaner
raises practically no dust and thus
greatly reduces the time required

NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
American Automobile Association Opens 3h Annual Convention
Here Outlook Presents Puzzne Influences

the question Of labor relations and
the second Is prices.
The Chrysler strike has served to
create q sense Of restiveness along
the whole automotive front. The
issues aroused carry echoes that
can be heard in many directions.
The conflicts that have been brought
into the open are not easily isolated
by either management or labor.
Out of the Chrysler case have
come certain signs interpreted In
Detroit as none too favorable. Chief
of these has been the element Of
stubbornness underlying the atti-
tude on both sides. A certain will
ingness to yield on minor points Is
a matter Of expediency, evident In
previous labor troubles in Detroit,
seemed somewhere missing.
In previous strikes concessions
often came in the wake Of knowledge
that the problems involved were new
to both sides. This made the path
of Cancellation easier. Recurrent
disputes could not perhaps be con-
sidered forever as adolescent out
bursts, however, and the Chrysler
strike uncovered less Of the earlier
attitude of elasticity.
Through every part Of the indus
try has spread, therefore, a con-
seriousness of how much is depend
ent, not only this year, but in future
years, on the maintenance Of peace
full relations between factories and
workers. The seasonal character
Of automotive sales makes the whole
structure highly sensitive to inter-
ruptions in output. For that rea-
son, the picture of major manu-
facturer crippled in the midst Of a
vital part of the year has inspired
little cheer
The possibility of war orders has
stirred up union demands, 1t ap-
pears. The belief that, should the
United States be drawn into war.
wage rates and working hours might
be frozen may have been . factor
also in the recent labor activity
in the parts field.
Little is being said about prices,
beyond the current changes that
have been made on 1910 models.
The belief is general. however, that,
as early as next spring, an upward
adjustment in car prices may occur.
The manufacturer do not look with
favor on such a prospect.
The basic materials that 60 to
make up an automobile unfortu-
nately are almost the same as those
that 60 into war machines and
ammunition. 1t is not possible to
predict. therefore, the changes that
may occur In automotive costs
sheets.
Naturally, the industry is antici-
pating its needs as far as possible
and here and there will be able to
book orders for parts of 1910 on
present price schedules. The steel
manufacturers have refused to ac-
cept business on present prices be.
yond December 81, however, how
well individual motor manufacturers
have been able to benefit by fourth
quarter orders may be apparent
later.
The fact that the United States,
in its plans to Mechanic the army,
will be a heavy buyer of trucks in
the coming year may be a factor
that will bring pressure to bear
against increases on raw materials.
II so, the purchasers Of passenger
automobiles may also benefit.

motorists woes and perplexities to-

The above deal with the obliga-
ton upon South, the declarel, to
make six spades against any defense
presents as interesting a problem as
one is likely to find in a long series
Of play. 1t was not too intricate,
however, for Ed Kane of the
Chalfonte Apartments, who succeed
ed in making his contract. North
and South did all the bidding and
at the end Of the auction South
found himself In the small slam
spade contract.
The opening lead was a heart,
which declarer won with the king.
He next led the queen of spades,
which held, as West did not cover;
then the jack with the same result,
East showing out.
The problem was then presented.
West had the king OF trumps guard
ed and declarer must lose one dia-
mond. Mr.. Kane pondered the sit
uation; to lead another spade would
mean that West would make his
king and with the diamond trick
which must be won by East the
hand would be set. However, If
West had a 4, 3, 3, distribution the
contract could probably be made,
provided East had three diamonds
to the queen which was indicated
when West opened heart. A strip
and end play would be possible with
Vests distribution.
Accordingly, declarer after leading
Two winning spades, switched to
clubs, trumping the third one in his
own hand. Next, he led and won
two hearts which exhausted both
himself and West of that suit. This
was followed by the lead of the king
of diamonds and then another dia-
mond to the ace in dummy. The
stage was then set for success. East
was thrown in with his queen of dia-
nonds. South followed, as did West.
The holding was then. East, queen of
clubs and small heart, both of them
thirteeners, South the 10 and of
spades, West the king and one small
spade, North the ace of spades and
one small diamond, also thirteener.
1t then made no difference what
East led South would trump, and
West, having only the king and small
spade. could either under trump or
over trump-it made no difference.
If he overtrumped with the king,
dummy would win with the ace and
South's 10 would be good; If he un-
dertrumped, South's 8 would hold
the trick. In either event, Vests
king was boxed and South made six
spades, losing only to the queen Of
diamonds.
