NEW HOUSEKEEPING "WAY URGED FOR WOMEN Uses of Various Labor-Saving Devices and Expenditure of Time Gained to Be of More Use in World Is Advocated. ANEW housekeeping has come Into our homes. Is It in yours? And If not, why not? Because you are too remote to get in touch with it? Or because you are quite satisfied .with your present methods? These questions are not asked Imper tinently. They are asked in all earnest ness and good faith. Because if you do not know about the new housekeep ing you may be glad to hear about It. And if you are acquainted with it but have put it aside ydu may upon a lit tle further consideration of it find It worth while adopting. Every housekeeper has accepted with our question certain phases of the new housekeeping. And as a rule, she has accepted these phases gladly. Few housekeepers nowadays weave their own linens or make their own candies or smoke their own hams though this latter may still be done in the home in certain parts of the country. But these parts of housekeeping aa a rule have gone out of our homes long ago. Getting closer to our own times, a large percentage of housekeepers, if not the majority of them, buy bread and rolls made outside the home, have their washing done at laundries, have much of their clothing especially their coats and suits and stockings and underwear made ii factories. The pickling and preserving are done by others. Within the last GO years a large amount of the housekeeper's work has marched from the home to factories. Compared with what our grandmoth ers did, who sewed rags for their car pets and spun their linens and made candles and baked and brewed, it would seem as if the housekeepers of today have little to do. Lights are switched on, bread and ice cream ordered from the bakery, hemstitched and embroid ered linens bought ready to lay on the table, the laundry called for and re turned. Nothing, it seems, is left for her to do but to press a button or use the telephone. But this very change has brought about the new housekeeping, the house keeping of supervision and the house keeping that uses all the labor-saving devices that modern invention has given the home. If our bread and butter are made out side of the home, if our clothes art made and washed by- alien hands, we need to know how these things are done. But if we are so situated that this phase of the new housekeeping does not come within our domain, we may still take advantage of another fea ture of it. .abor-fcaving machinery and efficiency methods are today as much a part of the new housekeeping as is work outside of the home. There are devices now to lighten almost every branch of housework washing ma chines, electric irons, vacuum cleaners, dustless dusters, quick methods of cleaning silver, bread mixers what hasn't been thought of to make easy the task of housekeepers? Yet many women dismiss all these with a shrug and say, "Oh, I've always done it this way," or "I don't bother with these new-fangled things," and drudge along with the methods and utensils of 60 years ago But why not measure up to the new housekeeping in all its phases take our share of the community work that has lifted such burdens from our shoul ders, if this cornea within our province; or take advantage of the helps that win lift still more, or perhaps do both.' There is no virtue in making a Sisyphus stone of housekeeping. Let's do our housekeeping as well as It can bo done; but in achieving this result let's make use of all the time-saving and energy Ravin? aids possible, and so have time and energy in uty left for the many other things life offers to gladden and enrich our days. DEAD CAN PROLONG WAR Men and Animals Slain Would Yield Xeeded Glycerine. CHICAGO, June 15. Albert Oppen heim, of Marietta, O., a member of the Western Nitroglycerine Manufac turers' Association, discussing means for increasing the production of gly cerine, an essential element in all high explosives, suggested using the bodies of the horses and men killed on Euro pean battlefields to obtain the neces sary animal sinews. It was declared that the war was necessitating the use of so much gly cerine that the entire supply in the United States would be exhausted within 90 days. If the glycerine is entirely used up, speakers said, it will have not only an important effect on the' war, but much work, such as the development of oil wells, will be stopped. Members discussed a plan for pool ing their interests. "No explosive aside from nitrogly cerine has the shattering effect neces sary for shooting oil wells," said Mr. Opperiheim. ( "Glycerine is produced from bat one source animal sinews and there is no 'way of increasing the production unless we can make use of the bodies of the horses and men killed on the field of battle. "In normal times the United Btates imports from Kurope 10.000,000 worth of crude glycerine annually. This sup ply has been entirely cut off." DUEL FOUGHT OVER WOMAN Mother and Babe Crouch as Shots '"'Whizz by Overhead. NEW" YORK, June 14. Pedestrians near Third avenue and One Hundred and Fourth street recently saw two men shoot at each other over a woman and a child who crouched trembling on the sidewalk. Mrs. Rose Sleser, with her 10-year-old daughter, Belle, was walking north ward on the avenue when a man who called himself Frank Flynn pulled out a revolver. She turned to see Frank Jefferson, just behind her, draw a pis tol. Realizing she was in line of the men's fire, she dropped upon the side walk, pulling her daughter down be side her. An instant later Flynn's re volver flashed and a bullet whizsszed close above the woman and child. The duel was witnessed by Police Captain Brady and Lieutenant Thomp son, who pursued a car which Flynn boarded for two blocks and arrested him. A revolver was found on him. Jefferson also was held.
