Hints On Using Odd Corners To Have a Place For Every- thing and Then Keeping Everything in Its Place Spring, with its fever for cleaning and renovating, rings back to mind the old, old saying "a place for every-' thing and everything in its place." One begins to wonder how more stor- age settee may be provided, Or, if uttered and small. how; can order and system be brought out; u. o,se,a'r and chaos. In most homes the more closets and cupboards that can be provided, the happier becomes the housewife. Be- side the usual storage space in the kitchen which provides for supplies utensils there are throughout the house, cleaning closets, laundry clo- sets, clothes closets, and other stor- age space which might take care of children's toys, magazines, rubbers, boots, etc. The cleaning closet, in which brooms, sweepers, mops, buckets, brushes, and other cleaning supplies are kept, should be sufficiently large as crowding spoils brushes and brooms, There should be floor space fur sweepers and mop pails, hanging space for brooms, brushes, and mops, and shelves for cleaning supplies such as cleaning powders, furniture polish, etc. It is well to nave a drawer or two in which cleaning cloths may be kept This closet is best at the back of the house, in or near the kitchen. It there is a back passage way, that is a good place for It. An old ward- robe may be converted into a very con- venient cleaning closet or different companies are now including cleaning closets in connection with their sec- tioal cabinets which are very good and probably as cheap as to have one made, The laundry closet should be in the room where laundry work Is done. It may be high enough to have a shelf at the top for the soap, bluing, starch, and stain removers, with space be- low for baskets, wash boards, and ironing boards 1f this is not built in a separate place. A linen closet is one of the most important store rooms in the home an should be located in a part of the house where it will be most acoes- sib,e. It should be planned with the Idea of classifying and organizing the different sizes of sheets, pillow cases, towels, spreads, and any other house - told lion. Sometimes the extra bed- ding is also stored in the linen closet, When this 1s done, wider and deeper shelves are necessary. The shelves with drop fronts are desirable as linen is very heavy to handle In a drawer 0511 the drop front extends the shelf which may be an aid in sorting the linen. Sliding trays ar esometimes used for the linen. They are made hp simply having the drawers shallow and cutting away part of the front, Clothes closets should be arranged in every bed room of the house and a closet for outside wraps is very desir- able in both the front and back of the house. The most important things in connection with rlothes closets are to have easy access to every garment, good light, and the possibility of air- ing. Clothes closets should be suf- ficiently wide to take a coat hanger without the clothes touching the walls, bot, on the other hand, it is not well to built them too deep. A closet two feet,deep and three or four feet long will hold many garments 1f It is cor- rectly arranged. A horiontal bar run- ning lengthwise is economical of space and makes a Tory good way to hang one's clothes. Sliding rods can bo used for the sinall "hole -In -the -weir' closet, These rods can be pulled out of the closet Into the room, They are especially good far the closets under stairways.

Have the compartment on one side suffi- ciently wide to allow for a coat hang- er. In the other compartment might be a tier of drawers with a shelf or two below for shoes and at the top two small closed doors to use for hats. Shoebags made of colorful chintz to fit the dimension of the door may eb used. Shelves for bats and shoes can be respectively above and below the garment space. A shoe support on the door or inside the closet is a very tidy way of taking care of the shoes. Curtain rods niay be used. In every home there is usually some place for the medical and surgical supplies and this is commonly termed the medicine chest. This should be a shallow closet with narrow shelves so all bottles will -be in single rows, each plainly labeled. A.11 poisons shoud be kept on a shelf by themsel- ves It is also a good idea to either have a different shaped bottle or a dif- ferent kind of stopper so they will be recognized in the dark. The medicine closet is usually placedin the bath room although this is not necessary if there is a more convenient place, Besides these closets listed there ars always odds and ends of storage spaces around the hone that can be utilized to good advantage. Some- times it is a bit of space around the chimney, a set of drawers under the stairs, or a window seat. If the win- dow seat is on the second floor, it could be lined with cedar and make a possible storage space for wool blankets. One seldom has too much storage space or too many closets. The main thing is to use every nook and corner to the best advantage. He—"Jane is irresistible." She—` I never put up much resist. mace either." A Hollywood Alt; actress Is said to shun social life.

The drat automobile was nacos- eerily a crude, affair, which strangely resembled a steam calliope while, in motton. It had no claim to beauty, nor was it silent and easy to operate like the 1028 models, but the fundamentals of operation which, impelled it to move down the street and up the hills have remained practically unchanged through the years.

The electric cord is not intended to withstand mechanical stresses, as will be understood after a word explaining Its construction. Construction of Cord The cord, which looks like one wire _covered with woven fabric, is really two wires within one outer covering, which is usually silk. Each inner connected with any source of elec- triclty. Take the Plug Apart Take the plug apart.' Inspection, will usually toll the way to accomplish this; with plugs that attach to irons' it usually means removing two screwe, but with lamp eeltete all that ls"need- ed is to' squeeze the brass shell. on the lower portion near the key until it disengages from the smaller top section. Let the reader assume the work concerns a socket. After having separated" the two sections of the brass shell ( a screwdriver will help), elide the top one, and the fibre shield that lies Inside it, back on the cord out of the way. Slip off the lower portion of the shell and lay it aside. Loosen, but do not remove,, the two brass screws that hold the bare ends of the cord. The chances are that when the amateur has gone this far, he has discovered the break. Pull the wires out from under the screw heads. Now, before disturbing the knot which is tied in the wires inside the socket, take note of their length below the knot. This Information will be needed latera Untie the knot and straighten out the ends' of the wires. With knife, pliers or a pair of shears —copper is soft metal—cut off three to six Inches of the cord so as to get a new undamaged end. At This Point At this point it is well to make sure spark the automobile was equipped with, en electric ignition system, the component parts of which were bat- tery, commutator, switch, spark coil, spark plug, wire and spark advance lever. Many cars of the period from 1908 to 1907 used a double battery system so that should the dry battery run out, the storage battery was ready to give the necessary power to keep the vehicle running. In the automo- bile of to -day the same idea is carried out in a much simplified form, but the basic idea remains unchanged. In describing the spark plug] of 1906 the Cleveland Automobile In- stitute says: "The spark plug is so constructed that, when energy reaches it from the batteries, the energy jumps a gap between the platinum points of the ping in the cylinder. When this jump occurs; a flash of flame bridges the gap. And, since this flame takes place in the cylinder at the exact moment when the cylin- der is charged with compressed gas, the flame ignites the gas and causes its nuts, anrews and other joinings been taken out. The gasoline flow is entirely automatic to -day, the oil is fil- tered and used many tines, the cylin- ders have been multiplied and the pistons shortened, while braking is on all four wheels. If Stephen Duryea, who brought out the first gasoline car in 1896, could see the 1928 model of any ear on the market he would be justified in thinking that his concep- tion of a motor -driven vehicle was quite as practical In its age as the one he would meet on the highway In any part of the world to -day.

Loans to Farmers Loudon—The British Government's long-awaited scheme for affording the flarmers long and abort -term loans upon easier terms is now announced, and the bill giving it effect as intro- duced to the House of Commons was unopposed. The -long ,credit is to be provided by a central mortgage in- stitution working through existing banks and raising the money in the open market. The Government con- tributes substantially 'toward the in- stitution's reserve funds to facilitate cheap borrowing. Short-term credits are being ar- ranged through existing banks which will be given powers to utilize the bor- rowing of the farmers' entire stock as security, thereby greatly increasing the sum loanable. This makes an important change, since at present, de- spite depressed conditions in agricul- ture, although the total farmers' stock, en Britain is valued at 220,000,000 has been borrowed upon it. Both the 'banks and the National Farmers' Un- ion representing the agriculturists support this arrangement.
