EFFICIENT KITCHEN EQUIP
 MENT

Suitable equipment conserves en- ergy and promotes efficiency in the kitchen. Correct working heights are most important. As the house. wife works at the sink, the tips of her knuckles should just touch the floor of the sink; the work table or counter should be just high enough so that she can hatten her palms on 1t as she stands at ease. Equipment that is most commonly used should be so arranged that un- necessary reaching and bending, crossing and recrossing the kitchen during meal preparation is elimin- ated.

 Assortment of Metals In Mouth
 Is there any objection or possible harm in having amalgam filings, sil- yer filings and gold inlay or bridge- work in the mouth2 G. M
 Answer - Sometimes a miniature galvanic battery effect is set up by the action of the saliva on dissimilai metals in the mouth, which appar. ently causes obstinate sores on lining of cheek, gum or tongue. It may be well to have the amalgam and silver dentures replaced with gold.

ployers and workers
The port closed at s a. m,
Thursday when four longshore
gangs dispatched to the disputed
Luckenbach dock refused to pass
an imaginary picket line. The
picket line was withdrawn when
the Employers association secured
an injunction under Oregon's new
anti-picket law-the chief bone of
contention.
1t is the claim of the longshore-
men that federal law supercedes
the Oregon law in this case be-
cause the Luckenbach ships are
engaged in interstate commerce.
The employers say the Long
shoremen's union is guilty of
breach of contract in refusing to

ting away from the theater, Miss
Mcdonald saw only few persons
and one of the reasons Betty Gay
was accorded the privilege was
because she is Scotch and her red
hair is the same shade as the
singers. Another reason was that
the young lady has ambitions to
become singer.
II am sure you will be a singer, T"
said Miss Macdonald, after a few
moments conversation. II can
tell by the look in your eyes.
Whether she becomes a singer
or not, one of Betty Gays life
