Show m MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH ; J WOMAN'S WORLD Lack of Storage Space Toughens Chores Smart Storage By Ertta Haley ONE OF THE MOST frustrating any homemaker can experience is the lack of storage space. It destroys her peace of mind and upsets her work sched-ule. It's bad enough in any part of the house, but it's even worse in the kitchen for here she must pre-pare her meals and do a great part of her work. There's good news, though, for the woman who will but use her im-agination even a little bit. No mat-ter how old the kitchen, no matter how deplorable the situation looks at a discouraged glance, its sur-prising how the kitchen can be re-modeled to something practical and efficient. In many kitchens, wall space is entirely wasted, and this can be easily remedied with a few built-i- n cupboards. More working space is easily provided, too, with a few feet of clay tile. These two remod-eling tricks can increase both the .appearance and efficiency of the kitchen. You can save hundreds of steps by having proper storage space in Look at the area in back of your range. Is it being used fully? In an kitchen, the an-swer is in all probability, "No." In the newly arranged kitchens, you probably have a cupboard in back of the range that will house not only such staples as sugar, coffee, flour, seasonings and other foods needed for cooking, but also some utensils. A cupboard near the range should hold pots and pans, as they will then be nearest the area where their greatest use is. If space is short, use the inside of the doors on the cabinets for holding such ac-cessories as spatulas, cooking spoons and forks, knives, strain-ers, etc. In this way, you can keep them right at your finger tips, and need not rumble through a drawer to get them in a hurry. When you have enough space be-tween the rang and the sink for a table top cupboard, this is the ideal place for vertical storage of cookie sheets, griddles and pot sheets, girddles and pot cov-ers. Thin, vertical pieces of wood may be constructed inside the cab-inet to hold these separately, in apple-pi- e order, if the cabinet does not come with them already made. A few feet of space formerly wasted around the refrigerator were used in remodeling this kitchen to provide some much needed extra space. The broom closet fits snugly between re-frigerator and door while the overhead cabinets give room for dishes, bowls and other articles needed in this section of the room. its legs, it's a simple enough mat-ter to find an undersink cabinet that will fit this utterly useless space. If you already have a cabinet and find that it doesn't give the most efficient use possible, try put-ting small racks on the doors, in-side, to hold the smaller items, thus releasing shelf space for items which need it. When the sink is in front of a window, it's easy enough to have cabinets on either side of the win-dows to take care of storing some dishes, glasses, bowls, and other items used in that area. Store as many dishes as possible in this sink area, as you can easily Have plenty of cabinets ... the kitchen areas in which it's most needed. You can save need-less headache over broken dishes that are piled high in a crowded cupboard by making intelligent use of space already there, and it's usually there simply waiting to be used! A little study of your own kitchen activities will show you where you want to store dishes as well as foods and equipment. Make a list of activities in various work cen-ters, such as range, refrigerator and sink. From then on, you have a concrete plan. Make Thorough Use Of Sink Area One of the basic rules in putting together an efficient kitchen con-sists of separating all the major appliances and working areas with plenty of space for working. For example, on either side of the sink you should have a table top. If you simply can't manage to have table space on both sides, at least have it on one side. . Frequently, in older kitchens, one finds that the area below the sink is not utilized at all. Think how handy this is for storing pots, pans, bread boards, rolling pins and such supplies as soap, detergents, bleaches, dish pans, racks and col-anders. If you have a kitchen sink stand-ing simply bare against a wall on to keep supplies neat. put them away immediately after drying. No steps to cart dishes to another cabinet will be needed! If it's possible to have a cabinet near the sink, this may be used for storing cleaning items such as broom, mops, dust pans, cleaning cloths and towels.

The floorwalker noticed him wandering aimlessly about, and noticing his rather shabby suit, inquired politely: "Are you looking for something in men's clothing, sir?"

Pique continues its upward climb in the popularity scale and is being given many dif-ferent treatments. For ex-ample, the casual dress sketched here is distinguished by an intricacy of cut usually reserved for more expensive wools, yet is well adapted to the firm body of pique. White is slated to be one of the lead-ing colors for one reason be-cause it is so beautiful in a quality weave. Another reason is that it is always flattering and can be worn with the high color jackets that herald spring. New concrete can be laid suc-cessfully right on top of old con-crete surface, but be sure, first, to get the old surface perfectly clean with soap and water and have it thoroughly wet when the new concrete is applied. When a hot dish sticks to oil-cloth, pour hot water around it and in a few minutes you can pick up the dish without mar-ring the oilcloth. If you're too proud to wear a dust cap for housework, better forget your pride when sifting ashes or doing similar dusty jobs in the cellar. Get your shower cap from the bathroom and put it On. Old powder puffs are flexible and soft enough to make excel-lent silver polishers and for ap-plying cleaner to mirrors.

Hundreds of women wrote me in answer, and most of them were shocked at so material a view, and protested that in a true marriage money was but a minor consideration. "When we were married we had nothing," many of these letters from happy wives said. "I would Lee doesn't get his raise, and the only thing that is raised is the roof when he discovers that young Lee has broken a window downtown to the tune of nine dol-lars. High living costs distract Diana; she tells Lee that there will have to be a change, she can't go on. And Lee worries and frets in his turn, and wonders how he is going to tell her that there are to be changes at the office, too. Fil-mo-for manager. Filmore! Five vears vouneer than Lee. and marry Dick if he hadn't a penny," said the girl's letters. Old women grandmothers, great grandmoth-ers wrote me that it was not safe to put such ideas into the heads of idealistic youth. Chances with Love It is impossible to answer all these letters personally, but this might stand as a sort of answer to them all. What I meant in my article was by no means what they took it to mean. It would be unnatural and absurd to suggest that a girl in love measures the claims of the man she does not love against the claims of the man she does, because the first men-tioned has a good income and the second none. Her chances with love weighing down the scale, are infinitely the better. Millions of happy American mar-riages perhaps it would be safe to say most American marriages trained by Lee! When they separate nobody men-tions money. ' Lee says that he hates for the children to hear scrap-ping all the time, and Diana tells her lawyer that Lee's insensitive-nes- s to the strain under which she lives amounts to severe cruelty. If the financial situation were restful and secure, rather than sub-ject to every domestic storm that blows, none of these things would disturb it. Crises like dentist and doctor would have their place; Lee would trust Diana and Diana would take pride in holding ex-penses down. So don't minimize the importance of money, you young husbands and wives. Or rather, settle it honest-ly and fairly, and then you can for-get as completely as you please. Ask yourselves if you are being just about it. A few years ago a rapturous, engaged young woman was talking to me and to her mother of her new household.

Ten, 15, 50 happy years later they love to look back at the earl-ier difficulties, the money short-ages, the scares and crises. But to survive these crises takes all the character and courage young people have. Some of those who haven't enough character and courage muddle through simply because they can't separate. Others keep putting off divorce because it is their nature to pro-crastinate. And the muddlers and the procrastinaters often find themselves emerging into better times, easier finances, older chil-dren, a more developed attitude, toward the seriousness of mar-riage. Money Question Lurks But under the trouble, even though it seemed to be a matter of not loving enough, or having no common interests, or being actual-ly incompatible, the money ques-tion was always lurking. When there is a money adjust-ment, nerves get frazzled. Lee takes it much too casually, and Diana frets. Or Diana hasn't the slightest idea of the value of mon-ey and charges dresses and hats as though every charge wasn't go-ing to be entered on the bills. The baby's threatened mastoid turns out to cost $300. Diana won't bother with a budget, or Lee gets mad whenever she asks him where that $10. went. When Lee's mother comes to vis-it it's a question of entertaining, and of hearty lunches, which doub-les bills. Diana can't ask her to eat a peanut butter sandwich in the kitchen. When Lee spends four days in bed with flu there's the doctor again, and Wilson, at the office, gets the commission that Lee might have had Stealing Cows Still Is Risky Prize Calf Kicks Man Into Raft of Troubles HUDSON, WIS. They don't string you up any more for selling cattle you don't own, but you can get into a heap of trouble. Espe-cially if you're wanted in three states for forgery and for violating federal parole. That's what a fellow who called himself Jack Desmond learned. All he had done, believed Lawrence Hope, St. Croix county sheriff, was to sell a registered bull calf he didn't own to Charles Reimer of Lakeland, Minn., for $75. By the time the FBI had finished routine checks Desmond was under $10,000 bail and authorities were arguing which charge to try him on. They said that Desmond's story started when he had just been re-leased from the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., and picked on the Hudson area as a good place to settle down. He got a job at the Houser-Interlache- n dairy, about 15 miles from here. He met Mrs. Victor J. Barnum, a well to do 47 year old widow. Desmond, who is 36, said that he was 41. He courted and won Mrs. Barnum and quit his job. On Oct. 8 he was married. A few days later he sold the dairy's prize calf to Reimer. A couple of days later he and his bride left on an extended western trip. A charge of selling the calf under false pretenses was gotten out against Desmond. The bride's mother, Mrs. Victor Johnson, became suspicious over the repeated requests for money and war bonds she was receiving from the couple. Desmond and his 'wife returned here and he promptly demanded that his mother-in-la- give him the key to their safety deposit box. She refused. He went to the courthouse to. get a court order forcing her to give him the key. But Mrs. Johnson, the mother-in-la-had beaten him there. She voiced her suspicions to Dist. Atty. U. F. Gwin. Gwin was glad to know that Desmond was back in town. When Desmond showed up for his court order the sheriff arrested him for the calf sale. . THE READER'S COURTROOM . Just en Occupational Hazard By Will Bernard, LL.B I If an Acrobat Sprains an Ankle, Is The Theater Owner Responsible? A feature of a travelling vaude-ville show was a girl acrobat. One evening, at the end of her act, she started walking off the stage. Un-fortunately, in some inexplicable manner, a rubber ball had rolled onto the platform. The girl, busy smiling at the audience, stepped on the ball, fell, and sprained her May a Person Carry a Grudge "Beyond the Grave" By Means of His Will? A man got into legal difficulties with his partner. In the midst of the bitter court battle that followed, the man died. In his will, he left a substantial bequest to his son but only on the condition that the son would carry on the fight against the partner to the bitter end. As it happened, the son had no stomach for the controversy. So he went to court to test the validity of this "grudge clause," arguing that it was against the public interest to per-petuate a quarrel in this way. But the judge disagreed and held that the unusual proviso was quite le-gal. May a Dog Bite The Hand That Feeds Him? A woman had a collie which had the nasty habit of nipping people. One day a delivery man, noticing the dog on the sidewalk, held out a piece of candy. The animal's re-sponse was to bite his hand! When the man later sued the dog's owner ankle. Later she sued the theater owner for damages, claiming that he was responsible for keeping the stage clear of all obstacles. But the court turned down her claim. The judge said that the girl couldn't blame the management un-less she could have proved that the ball had been lying there for some time long enough to attract the attention of the stage hands. A man was arrested on a charge of beating his wife with a rolling pin. At the trial, the defendant took the witness stand to tell his side of the story. The judge didn't like the way things were going, and soon took over the n himself. He fired question after question at the man, all in a loud and angry voice. Later the jury brought in a guilty verdict, but on appeal, the man was awarded a new trial. The upper court said that the judge's manner was improper, because it indicated prejudice. for damages, she insisted that his gesture had "provoked" the dog into biting. However, the court made her pay for the delivery man's injury. The judge felt that any dog mean enough to "bite the hand that feeds him" should not be allowed to run loose at ali |
