If Nom suffers from backache,
bad temper and housemaid's knee,
it might be a good idea to send
her to an industrial engineer in
stead of a doctor.
Instead of a tonic. she prob
ably needs q work-simplif1cation
course.
An expert in these matters is
DR.. Orpha Mae Thomas. associate
professor of home economics at
Teachers College, Columbia Uni
sersity. who combined household
science with engineering for her
Phi. D. and now teaches future
teachers how to do things the
easiest way.
DR. Thomas believes that every
household should be organized on
an assembly-line plan. and dem
onstrates how it can be done with
a list of 40 commandments for
housewives:
1. Make a list OF your household
jobs. Check those most tiring
and time consuming and figure
out which can be eliminated. re-
arranged, simplified or combined.
For instance, says this expert,
new detergents make it possible
Ito eliminate dish-drying. Stain
less steel tableware for every
day use eliminates silver polish
ing. Seersucker and terry cloth
fabrics cut down ironing.
2. Survey your kitchen and
lrearrange it In work centers. You
will find you have a mix center,
where most of your baking and
food preparation is done; q cook
center, which is the stove; q
cleanup center. which is the sink
unit. If you can't move the big
equipment. at least move small
tools and supplies to the center,
where they are used. Your elec-
trio mixer, bowls, flour. sugar.
shortening, spices. mixing spoons
and packaged mixes should be
stored at the mix center, prefers
ably next to the refrigerator,
where you are in easy reach of
milk, butter. eggs and such. Cook

Is it possible to have two silk

been exceeded since September

Northern Pacific was a top IA
sorite yesterday and today opened
on a block of $500 shares, up 3s
at 89A. It soon shot away from
that mark and was all over the
tape at advancing quotations.
General Motors was one of the
few active and higher spots out
side the rails and oils. It pursued
a rather curious course. Over
night selling orders were heavy
and the opening was delayed
Then there was a flood Of buying
orders. Specialists evened out the
orders and opened the stock
toward the end Of the first houl
