The average American family spends thirty-three per cent of its income for food, twenty per cent for housing, 12 per cent for cloth* Jng, five per cent for fuel and light. With what is left millions arc able to buy motor cars, electric refrigerators, electric radios, oil heaters and vyater softeners.

families of necessity take advantage of every opportunity to

save money.

In communities dependent upon a supply of hard water, heads of families have learned that the simple expedient of installing a water softener in the home means a sav-

ing of:

One-half the annual soap and cleanser bill. One-fourth the annual expenditure for washable dresses' underwear, children’s clothing. stockings, sheets, towels, linens, etc. One-half the annual expense for repairs for plumbing, heating plant, water heater, etc. It also means savings on teas/ coffee, and foods now wasted because they are made tough and unappetizing by hard water. Not only does a family save money by permutizing water .from hard to soft, but it also means better health for the members of the family, greater bodily comforts, better food and less work for the housewife. It is now generally agreed that no home can be regarded as modern which does not include water softening equipment. The day when Americans will tolerate MrQ water is rapidly passing. UNCLE ELI A GOOD PROVIDER Uncle Eli and Aunt Jerusha managed to sell five cows and get enough money to take them to the Chicago fair. They were determined to be there on the opening day. Thre was of course a terrific crowd when they got off the bus at the entrance gates. Uncle Eli had insisted on taking a heavy basket of lunch along, so they would not have to pay those “city” prices for what they ate. Aunt Jerusha had been carrying it. When they arrived at the gates, Uncle Eli turned to his wife and said: “Jerusha, you better let me carry the lunch basket —we might get separated in the crowd.”

¥F you see one of your smart 11 friends sewing busily away on what looks like a petite version of an umbrella, you can depend on it that she’s probably making herself a hat. It’s quite the thing nowadays to create Lats — gloves, too —to match every costuipe you own; and Since wide brims are the latest news in the millinery world, almost everyone seems to go in for that type. Sketched are four versions of ihc millinery mode for summer —afl %s simple to make as they’re flattering to wear. The pensive lady at the upper right is wearing a brimmed bat which can be

made of practically any fabriccotton, linen, silks, prints and even organdie. (McCall 109). The plaid creation just below is a beach hat of the new T efet kind— it’s air-cooled, you’ll notice, for it has just four straps tied in a hour to make its crown. Make it to match your beach togs—and the more colorful, the better. (McCall 109). The other two hats are new tic-on type—they can be opened up flat for washing and pressing. That’s the answer to the summer hat problem—for your youngsters, too, for it comes in kiddies’ headsizes as well as adults’. (McCall 112). (By courtesy of The McCall Company),

GOOD SHIP “CITY OF NEW YORK" BEARS THRILLING TESTIMONY OF GREAT HARDSHIPS ENDURED

Visitors to Chicago World’s Fair Given Privilege to Visit Vessel That Carried Captain Byrd to North and South Poles.

Thrilling because of the testimony it bears to the courage of seventy-two brave men and the hardships they suffered in the name of science at the nether tip of the earth, is the City of New York, now visited by thousands daily at the Chicago World’s Fair. It was this ship which carried Admiral Richard E. Byrd to the Ross ice barrier, where he established the base—Little America— when he flew over the South Pole. For the purposes of the exposition, the ship has been transferred into a veritable museum of breathtaking adventure. In it are extensive displays of the actual clothing, travel equipment, navigation and communication apparatus, food and recreational facilities that were used on the historic voyage. Men Who Made Trip. Fair visitors learn from the lips of men who sailed with Byrd to Little America just what it means to live for months, even years, in a land of eternal cold, to drive “huskies” over tremendous wastes of snow and ice, to discover hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory no man has ever set

eyes upon before.

Cap. Alan Innes-Taylor, relief air pilot; Charls Kessler, dog driver; Arthur Berlin, fireman, and Geo. Tennant, cook, now on board the ship, all sailed to the land of the South Pole with Byrd. Kessler and Tennant also accompanied Admiral Byrd on his expedition to the North Pole. Tennant, after spending many months cooking for 72 hungry men, often in treacherous weather when waves rose so high they entered his galley and extinguished his fire, returned to the United States and married a widow

with five children.

The City of New York, an aux iliary barque launched at Arendahl, Norway, in 1885, is tied up at the Century of Progress lagoon dock near the Twenty-third street bridge. Its sturdy sides are of Norwegian quarter oak, 36 inches thick above the water line and 42 inches thick below, covered wilh 5-inch greenheart sheathing that will not splinter. The ship is 205 feet overall, 169 feet long on the water line and has a 301-2 foot beam. The first major expeditionary ship ever to enter the Great Lakes, it entered Chicago under no power but sail, its auxiliary engines having been removed because the ship drew too much water with them to admit entrance to the World’s Fair lagoon.

Sturdier Than Steel.

The City of New York was used on the expedition because it is far stronger in combating ice floes than the sturdiest steel ships built today. It is so constructed that extreme pressure of ice forces it higher out of the water, rather than buckling it tightly underneath, as it would a steel ship. Lecture tours of the ship are

of new discovery, and the new mountain range found by the ex plorers, are indicated. Equipment Used. On the walls of the hold are a whole library of photographs taken on the trip. There are also sledges, ice-anchors, sleeping bags of camel’s hair lined with caribou, headgear of wolverine fur that will not frost, and great fur Jackets and suits to protect men from freezing. Fohtwear of reindeer hide and caribou skin, stuffed with absorbent sennagrass from Norway, are made in enormous sizes to accommodate five or six pairs of heavy woolen stockings. There are types of man-hauling harness, for, the lecturer explains, contrary'to lay opinion, the dog driver does not ride, but works as hard as any of the “huskies.” There is an antarctic mail boxpletters posted in it in 1928, were delivered some time in

1930.

Some Mounted Specimens. In cases are some of the inhabitants of the South Pole country. There are mounted seals weighing 600 to 800 pounds—the weddell seals, a complacent mammal used as food for dogs and men, and the crabeater seal, a vicious fellow Who will attack even a UiBer whale. There are mounted scavenger gulls, petrels and penguins. Never failing to interest even the most sophisticated visitors are the curious penguins. There are four mounted in the Byrd exhibit, two jf the “emperor” species, and two “adelis” penguins. These Beau Brummels of the frozen world, al ways in formal dress with their silky-white fronts and jet posteriors, know no enemies on land, anl are willing, even anxious, to be friendly with humans. Penguins Are Strategists. The smaller arelies are known as the comedians of the antarctic. They poke their inquisitive noses into everything, and it is not an unusual sight to see forty or fifty of them watching closely everything men do. When captured and penned up they will aid one an other to escape by building pyramids like gymnasts, until they can scale the fence.” Their only enemies are in the sea. They will crowd very slowly until they are close to the water; then they will push the closest penguin in. TC nothing happens to the “bait” they all follow after him. Members of the expedition have tied a black “tuxedo” bow on one of the mounted fowls, a stunt that seldom fails to extract a laugh from the

sightseers.

Bitter Disappointment.

One of the busiest buildings of the camp was the canine maternity ward, where ihore than fifty “huskies” first saw the light of d£y in the dead of an antarctic winter. The ship’s lecturers report that not a little humor has been supplied by visitors. One man referred

conducted continuously throughout|to the penguins as “pelicans,” and the day. The visitor is shown firsLbefore the lecturer could correct a relief map of the antartic re-!him, another visitor hastened to gions. The Bay of Wales, where inform him that they were “pemmi-

HESE are the days when I want, any group that can beat the ath-

letes to the dinner table or outstay ’em after they get there. For downright honest effort, you can’t match the zeal of a ball player as he tackles a steak dinner—at the

ball club’s expense!

That, of course, is the catch. The luxury of eating when some one else is paying the check is a sure inducement to an elephantine ap petite. Especially when you know abopf it in advance, as major league ivoryifes do. €an those lads masticate? As I live and breathe,

they ^certainly can!

Nothing spoils a ball player’s appetite! The little guy who strikes out everytime at bat, throws over the first baseman’s head in the ninth inning with the score 1 to 1, or muffs a pop fly with the bases loaded, enjoys his nourishment just as much. His battling eye may be gone, his pitching arm petrified, but he can spot everything on the menu and outreach Mrs. Snitch’s

star boarder.

It’s a quaint old baseball custom that the club pays all the players’ expenses on the road. That’s fair enough, but this thing of paying for their meals has become quite an item, so I’m told, and the magnates are beginning to wonder just who started the darn custom and where can they lay their hands on him?

■*- to be out in the garden, or cleaning up the attic, or freshening my kitchen with a can of paint. So I’m apt to use some of these delicious time-saving desserts. They are quick and easy to make, and thanks to the coconut, are as festive and spring-like as any dessert

ond time, withdrew it. “What time does the boat sail?” she inquired. When told it didn’t sail at all, her disappointment knew no hounds. “I’ve always wanted to take a ricle on one of those exploring ships,” she explained, “but I’ve been so afraid. But I would trust myself anywhere with Admiral Byrd.” She left without going aboard. FAiRTRAFFIC (Continued From Page One) want to make a left turn. Remember this, for the practice varies in some sections of the country. Right turns should be made from the extreme right lane. 3. (Signal when starting, turning or stopping. 4. Obey all traffic signals. They are for your protection. Remember that 'STOP means stop and SLOW means slow. 5. Don’t try to “beat the gun’’ when the lights change. 6. Always stop at boulevard stops. Look carefully before driving onto fl through street. 7. Keep your brakes in good repair and check your headlights regularly. ’8. .Watch out for skids on wet >r greasy pavement. 9. Never insist on the right of way. It isn’t worth fighting for. 10. jBe on the alert at railway ?rade crossings. If there is any doubt as to the possibility that a train might be coming, come to a full stop before proceeding across the tracks. 12. (Let your passengers do the sightseeing while you are at the wheel. A moment’s inattention may be costly. 12. Give pedestrians every con’^deration. You may be entitled to the right of way, but he is always entitled to his personal safety. —o OBEDIENT MATCHES Float five matches in a circular bowl nearly filled with water, ^lace them so that their outer ends represent the five points of a star and leave a circular space between the inner ends about the size of a nickel. Now take a small piece of soap that has been whitled to a sharp point and touch the water at the center of this opening. To everyone’s surprise the maitch es will run away to the sides of the bowl. These same obedient little matches can be made to return to the center of the bowl fjy offering them a little sugar. Simply tak s e a piece of lump sugar and touch the water at the same place the soap was inserted. At once the matches come back to the center of the bowl. The action of the matches is due in the first clase to the fact that the soap does not absorb the vater, but displaces a certain amount of it in the center of tlje bowl forcing it out to the edges. Jn the other hand the sugar absorbs a considerable amount of the water, causing it to move back toward the center of the bowl. The motion of the surface of. the_.water moves the matches. -

food, his amount varies, however, with the degree of big-heartedness imbued in the magnates. Players line at the -best hotels and sign checks, which are afterwards settled by the club. Officials of the Cincinnati Reds claim that it costs more to feed the brood in the East than it does in the West. Boston, for some obscure reason, is the most expensive stop. If I owned a ball club, I’d feed ’em nothing but beans in Boston and saYe the dif-

ference!

Formerly it was the custom to dole out so much money to each player every day while the team was traveling and permit him to eat wherte and what he pleased. But that little stunt didn’t work out. The players immediately proceeded to starve themselves in order io pocket some of the expense money. Besides, they patronized secondclass restaurants and frequently reported for duty with digestive systems gone haywire. The club owners finally .came to the conclusion that it was cheaper in the long run to stand the gaff for hotel

checks.

My childhood ambition was to he a conductor on a street car because the conductor apparently pocketed all the cash. But I’d much prefer the strenuous life of a big league ball player, whose chief worry is writer’s cramp from signing checks

Major league clubs allow their oh someone else.
