Thoughtful housew.Ves in these days of thrift and economy are asking themselves pertient questions as to the use they are making of their time Is it wasted or doea each minute count for something worth while? Mere speculation over the subject will not helD. but constructive thinking, backed by experimentation, will. Re member that each housekeeper can plan better for herself than' can any one else. By watching herself, be coming acquainted with her own ef forts and habits and by using ijpme of the efficiency-engineering which is in each of us, time and strength may be saved ip the performance of household tasks. s , . No woman is fond enough of dish washing to spend any more time over it than is necessary, and yet from lack of planning many hours ,, ate squandered over the dishpan. If you accuse a housekeeper of wasting time over that task, the retort is likely to be, "Waste time washing dishes? I should say not, for I don't like to wash dishes that well. I hustle through them as fast as I possibly cBn, but even wen n uoea trem take hours."Would it if she had used her brains as well as her hands." 'Working Like a Whirlwind." There are women who start clean W a room as though they were go ing to be through within the next ten! minutes, but instead, the work hangs on for the next two hours. Why? Because all the hurrying was creat ing more work every minute. They sweep as a whirlwind does and with much the same result. They are the typa who think housework is drudg ery, and ,they do not see, that it can be bettered. ' . Everyone has been in homes where the housekeeper, overtired from work caused by lack of planning, was too1 tired to be pleasant.' For this kind of a housekeeper salvation lies in stdying hw methods, observing where time and effort has been wasted and then standardizing her tasks. "One of the .best ways to observe yourself," says the Office of Home Gnomics of the United States De partment fo Agriculture," is to make ( a time, method, and motion study of the different duties about the house. It will add zest to the housework.help to make ''you see measures necessary for your own reform, and make you ready to assist an inefficient neigh bor.". . ; : , "' How to Find Best Way ', - - " . ' A time method, and motion study sounds, much more formidable than it is. Take the task of dishwashing, for instance. You' have done it in many different ways and probably have wondered which method wtes really best. To find out, v try one method each day, keeping accurate count of .the motions necessary and the time taken up. ' t Looking at the accompanying sam ple record . shows that 6n Thursday, Friday. : Saturday . and Sunday the methods saved" more time than those on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On these days when time was saved you washed, the pots anJ pans while vou were preparing dinner. Xou will also note that time was saved by stacking the dishes before washing them had by dryinjr in a drainer inn- stead of wiping them. Having found these time-savings wayf, why not continue t follow them, practicing j,'ir methods- an 1 improving still further by, repetition? Y Watch for waste; motions.A fourth column can be made for. the number of motions, counting as one notion each step made necessary by the plac ing of the dishes and each complete motion of the hands, as' placing the dish in the drainer and back again. This does not mean' that you should do your work like an automation.but thinkine about it in tfiis way . will show you that you are in the habit of making needless motions. ' Would it not be worth while to cease guessing as to your efficiency and know the best way for you to do the work? In. some cases it will be more efficient to do the work one way than another, because of some spec ial arrangement of your time or kitchen conveniences, but you are the one to find that best method and benefit by the discovery., ' , .. v A pair of green silken socks woven from fine fibersmade from spruce and a coil of stout binder twine spun from twisted strands of fir are two of the typical products of western woods displayed on a panel just re ceived in the officii of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Seattle from Jhe" forest products laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. - ' :'; - i The exhibit has been arranged as a defffbnstration of the practical results obtained through the research work j at the Madison laboratory and merely goes to illustrate once more and to j emphasize that sawed and finished lumber is the crudest commercial pro duct of the trees. ; !
