Miss Harrison ( has recently returned from an extensive trip In the mid dle western states, where she visited the home economics de partment of many colleges. The field of home economic? work is being broadened consider ably, for physiologists, psycholo gists, dentists, orthopedic special ists, and similar people are coop erating with home economics workers to give more attention to child welfare and parental educa tion. In the oast there has been a comparatively small amount of time given to problems of con sumption by economist. They are now studying bow to spend wisely and this applied economics and sociology will help home economics workers. Research work is now "being done in home economics, due to funds made available by the Fur npll Act. The State college of Washington is making a time study for rural women in typical sections of the state to determine how much time they spend for different kinds of work and for leisure in an average week in win ter and summer. The last of the sectional con ferences on various agricultural and home economics projects are being held today, when livestock is given consideration by the coun ty agents. The speakers will in . elude J. K. Ford, livestock exten sion specialist; Leonard Negnauar. soils and crops specialist; and County Agents Ben Beach of Fri day Harbor and Carl Izett of Cathlamet.

It must not only be for correctness of ef fect, but for comfort and convenK ence. In other words, the ar - rangement should be suggested by, the use to which the pieces of fur niture are .to be put. A bookcase, for instance, does not require a chair goes in front of it, because one to the bookcase to remove' books, not " to read them in that! particular spot. So a chair in the; bookcase grouping is out of place' and looks it. A chair may be placed nearby for balance, but! that is another matter. I find that the piano grouping: is one of the greatest problems. It's not so difficult with the up- right piano, which can be readily! How to Massage Yonr Scalp Massage is one of the beet means of preventing gray hair and baldness, strange as those words nay sound. In order to have a healthy scalp with its consequen tial growth of luxurious hair that has the sheen of youth, you must keep the circulation stirred up. When the blood stream that feeds your scalp gets slow and sluggish, your scalp loses its activ ity. It gets stiff and adheres Jtoo closely to the skull. Massage your scalp to keep the circulation up ;nd to maintain that looseners be- wec-i the scalp and ekull that is o essential. One of the best means of mas sage for the scalp'is brushing fre- luently and hard. Brush from the hairline upward and outward, never flat down against your head. Get a brush that has long, stiff bristles and use it morning and night. For the manipulation massage. place ootn bands firmly on your head and rotate the scalp with the thick part of-the palms in such a How Achieve Beauty ftv MME.

But -the grouping of the baby grand with other pieces of furniture is more diffi cult, owing to its irregular shape. Square built furniture scarcely fits in with the shape of the piano, and so,-as shown in the sketch, a round or. octagon table should be used. One always needs a table near the piano to hold the lamp, where, the floor lamp is missing, but at any rate, for a handy place I to lay music while sorting it, and thus prevent the top of the piano from becoming littered. Chair Lines Harmonious A comfortable chair is needed way as to make the scalp itself move. The good effects can be intensified by applying first a lit tie. tonic lotion that has a balsam i( content. Or, if your hair is thin ning out, apply "some scalp food paying particular attention to the receding hairline and the part. Always work on your scalp di rectly after you have washed it. as that i3 the time when it is in the best condition to receive he bene fit of your treatment. This is-par- icularly true if you have used a tonic shampoo which has strong balsamic content. The heat of the water and stimulation of the bal sam have relaxed the scalp, opened its pores and made it unusually absorbent. Massage, then, is the basic prin ciple of hair health. Make it a daily habit if you wish to bring out all the beauty of your "crowning glory," if you want to forestall the thinning grayness or loss of sheen that come with advancing age.

To be in harmony with the piano, it, too, should have curved lines. The modern upholstered chair,, with Irregular curved back and Queen Anne legs, fits comfortably into .the nook formed by the curved lines of the piano. Only the top of the bench carries straight lines in this grouping, and this is for comfort and convenience. Tou will note that these objects group naturally, and that their curves supplement each other, First use, then beauty, suggested the grouping. This is what I mean by arrangements suggested by use. You can carry this Idea through in all your grouping, re membering that where a high piece must be balanced by a low piece, the picture or tapestry should be used to give the neces sary height. ; , .

Veils Being Draped Like Egyptian Headdresses PARIS (AP) Now that the tiny veil is an established fashion women are hunting around for more original ways of wearing it than banging straight down over their eyes. Certain smart women prefer to wear veils in zig-zag lnies across .heir faces and tfhers draw them tightly to accentuate their eyes, particularly if their eyes are fan cifully made np.

To vote or not to vote is the question she Is asking. Some politicians, including Stanley Baldwin, the prime min ister, say the j flapper has. intelli gence enough to vote. Other po liticians take a contrary view. While the country is trying to decide whether the age -limit for young women should be made 21 instead of 30 as at present, the flapper goes on her way, usually expressing indifference of the whole affair, j The English flapper is in many respects like her American cousin, and in many respects unlike her. She is alike in the way she dres ses and somewhat unlike in her manners. .England's f average flapper" is Miss Margaret Cowles. 21, typist in an office near Westminister Abbey. She was chosen by the National Union of Societies for Equal Citi zenship, combining all the organl should be given to English wo men at the age of 21 years. Miss Cowles father is an insur ance clerk, j She received the equivalent of a high school educa tion and went to work at 17. She was selected as an average flapper (Miss! Cowles doesn't like the word) because she stand mid way between the factory girl and the university girl. Miss Cowles uses rouge, smokes and wears her skirts knee-high, goes to dances, has men friends, goes to the movies whenever she can and thinks some movies are all right and some "awful." But she goes to; church on Sunday, and she says; most of her friends go to church too. She doesn't think modern dancing immoral unless It is carried too far. "A girl can wear silk stockings and knee skirts without going to the Devil," she declared. Miss Cowles sajd she would like to be given the vote, but that she would not vote as her husband did if she were married. She would use her own Judgment. She said she expected to marry, prob ably at the age of 24 or 25. She said she did; not think the word "obey" ought to be in the mar riage ceremony. The "average miss" said she thought work good for a girl if she doesn't start too young and that a wife should work out after marriage if she thereby helps her husband and children.

How large Is your world? Please take time to think about this question. It will help to de cide your place in the sun. You, Mrs. Society Woman, does your world not pitch its eonflnes just outside the little circle of the friends you see every day? When you read the paper at night, do yon not look on the so ciety page first? Are the affairs on the Volstead Act as Important to you as the affairs on Main street? Does not your world really mean the gossip, the discussion and the actions good and bad of at most two or three hundred people? And you, Mrs. Club Woman, are you thinking and talking up the coming biennial much more than you are who will be next president of the United States? And you, Mr. Business Man, how big 13 your world? Do you care much about the freight rates on fruit if the freight rates on lumber which you are selling are lowered? Does the raising of the wages of the plas terers worry you if you are not thinking of building a home this summer?

Every one's world is bounded by his own little interests, and very few if us, even when we speak of world affairs, are conscious that we are talking of them only ii terms of ourselves. From the time that the babe finds his little world in his mo ther's adoring eyes, up through life's Journey, when the thinp man called his world is forgotten. and he is laid away from the sigh of all he knew on earth, the world is only as big as the man is. To every one his world Is only as big as bis sympathy with and his un demanding of the Other man'? point of view. When all is said and done no one person owns the world. We speak of "sitting pretty on the top of the world," but in reality if we sit pretty at all it is on some litle bit of prosperity of our own mak ing which we are always deathly afraid of falling off. When we say, "I'll tell tlu world," we mean that very little part of this great teeming earth which interests us and which we interest.

We only need to make a study of ' motion in doing different proces ses to find that we have much to learn in the elimination of waste motions and waste time. . Motion study should teach us the one best way as a standard. A survey sent out in the home management project in the state of Washington showed that an average of 45 minutes Is spent each , day in the farm home with dish wiping. This, of course rdoe3 not include washing dishes or washing and wiping the pots, pans or separator 'dishes. Very few of those reporting used a dish drainer. Dish washing may not be the bugbear it has been considered in most households, if a study Is made of the process. Almost ev ery housekeeper has. more or less, a fixed routine of doing dighes which might be called her plan, but it may be that she has not studied out the best method or a standard way of doing the dishes. A method recently worked put, which saves much time, follows. The dishes are stacked ou a util ity table all at one time and taken to the kitchen from the dining room. After the dishes are taken from the utility table they are put on the right drain board, scraped and "stacked in their respective pihes. If there is not a drain board in the kitchen or a sink they are stacked to the right of the dish pan. Washing Disli The hot water Is poured into the dish pan and into the dipping pan, which Is Just to the left on the dralnboard. The diuher plates ire first placed Into the pan for washing, the salad or the bread .ind butter plates next, the saucers on top of these, and the cups around in the edge of the pan. If fhere are too many dishes for jne process Just the plates are washed first and then the other dishes. The cups do not nerd soaking and are easily washed They are then dipped in the pan of hot water to the left, and placed to drain In the dish drain er. If there is no room on the left drain board for the dish Irainer, it is placed on a table further to the left with a towel underneath to absorb the drain water. Next the saucers are washed which likewise do not need much soaking. They are dipped in the pan of hot water to the left and placed in the drainer. By this time the salad plates and dinner : plates are easily wuied. This water is then emptied down the Jrain and the water which the lishes were dipped in is placed in this pan with new, clean water put in the dipping pan. Then the glasses and silverware are washed. These are placed on a towel to the left to drain and be wiped imme diately so they will-not streak. By the time these are wiped and put away the dishes In the drainer are dry and these dishes can be placed away. While the home maker is wip ing the glasses and silverware the pots and pans can be soaking in the clean dish water, in whii-h only the glasses and silverware -r.v loen vasbed. It is Just as necessary to have- it clean for the pots 'and pans as it is for the china dishes. The pots and pans are dipped-aud drained.
