A 1 Modern Kitchen Aids Housewife Old-Fashioned Arrangement Is Unnecessary and A Drag Many homes, built as recently as ten years ago, now have kit chens which have been outmoded by progressive building practices, An old-fashioned kitchen is a drag on the housewife--a burden that takes 'a "oavy toll in fatigue and energy. It seriously depreciates property, while a modern kitchen generally adds dollars to rental re. turns and resale valves. Remod- * elling kitchons is profitable work which every carpenter can do eas ily and economically for his cus- tomers. With nev equipment, careful arracgement and a miof. mum of structural change, you can remodel your customer's kitchen s0 that it" is as modern as that of the nywest home, The basic elements of planning an efficient kitchen are the same no matter how largo «: small it may be. These elements are the threa "centre which every Kit. chen should have. They are: BASIC ELEMENTS The storage and prescrvation centre, The preparation and cleanirg centre. The cooking and serving centre, Bvery builder and carpenter will find scientific kitcheu-planning easy because of hls ye rs of I'now- ledge. Tho preservation and stor- ago centre, with the refrigerator, should be near the dining room entrance, and the preparation and cleaning centro should be conveni- ently located between both the re- frigerator and the range. With such an arrangement, the prepar- ation and serving of every meal progresses easily, with a minimum of steps, energy and time. Modern Girls Are Go-Getters Modern girls wait for no serenaders under their balcon- ies, but are go-getters. That is the opinion of Miss Con- stance Warren, president of Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, N.Y., who super- vises nearly 300 girls a year. "The average girl expects to be married," she said recently American Eugenics Society, "She doesn't intend to sit back and wait for a man to come along. She really expects to get quite active about it." man in the house.

"Let him sit down, Had a hard day, Harry?" "I am tired, Chief," he said, put- ting Harrict down and kissing his wife's cheek. He flopped into a _worn, comfortable old Morris chair. "This grind is getting me down--" Heo stepped, grinndd and pulled Mrs. Thomas down on his knees. "Chief, T had a pretty easy day-- and a pretty good day. I guess hus. bands just get in the habit of com- ing home tired." "Harriet," said her mother, "run up and brush your hair." "I know. You're going to talk about Mary getting ma-ror--" "Go up and brush your hair!" "Why do pecple try to fool peo- ple that can't ha fooled? Oh -all right. I'm going."

Mrs. Thom. as's volce expressed concern. "l thought she was working as a mod- el." "Personally 1'd pay somebody ten dollars cash to go to Miss Ath- erton and tell lier what's happened to Mary and Ted since she left-- I mean, in case it is Ted, Do you think he would be weak enough --I mean fool enough--" Some sound, slight yet suspici- ous, had caught his ear, At a nod from his wife he reaclied out his feot and closed the grill of the hot air furnace. A sudden sneeze from upstairs confirmed his suspicion of having been overheard, and he con- tinued: "A boy Ted's age--mar- riage. the first couplo of months is no picnic -- a streamlined redhead handy -- I wonder." oul first couple of years was no picnic and we got through it." "But 1 didn't have a redhead handy!" he kidded her. Evelyn an- nounced-that dinner was just about ready. Harriet, her ear glued to the hot air register, had listened to her parents' conversation, but when Mr. Thomas closed the vent down- stairs a vague cloud of coal dust flew out of the grating into her face, over her dress, and she could not suppress the sneeze that gave her away.

Mrs. A, Cameron Grant pointed out in an address on "Character An. alysis" at a recent meeting of the Mount Royal Women's Community Club. In the beginning of her talk Mrs, Grant stressed the need for guidance for young people choosing a vocation, "It Is such a waste of time and energy to force children into fields where they have no tal- cnts, making them feel fnferior, In- stead of gulding them in the dir- ection in which they can make a definite contribution she remarked. SKIN COLORS INFLUENCE ACTIONS Color has been found to be more than skin deep, the speaker noted. Euvironment influences life, habits and finally general characteristics, Hence, these at the equator where' extremes in sefsons need not ba contended with, live an easy lilo, with food and shelter and cloth. ing easily acquired. There is no need. to be markedly creative, With * many free hours these people turn to things artistic, colors, music, characteridtics associated with the dark colored races. On the other hand, groups moving farther north, with no need to resist the heavy rays of the sun, have lighter skins, tnd must struggle for daily needs, until, in the north, the blonde races are found practically and resource- ful. READING PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Mrs. Grant described various types of personalities on the basis of physical characteristics. She mentioned tho mental type who prefers to fight with ideas and words rather than with fists; the driving type, wko is the football hero in school and the engineer or business man in adult life; the type who becomes an executive because ho has learned to direct others; the conservative type; and the man-oi-action type who joins the 'air force or seeks other forms of adventure. Teach Child To Finish His Job Youngsters Should Learn to Stick With A Task Once Be- gun There is one point about child- ren's work that needs attention. It. concerns the good beginner and the bored finisher. This tendency to "dabble" is re- ceding as special courses=in train.

"DABBLING"" It is in childhood that this ment- al habit needs to be jelled, it the futures career is to be a success, It is the "personal" quality that counts in all good work.
