KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an interesting review of their home liie and learn to meet the condition’ of the high cost of living with t.em.) tcesday. With the help of Helen and the Bride, who had no washing on Tuesday she believed that economy for her In this matter was to send her clothes to the laundry. Mrs. Hooper put up her daily quota of corn and tomatoos at the same that she assisted the washing machine in doing Its work. "You out ht to take in all the wash of the neighbors,” laughed the Bride. "The case with which you get yours done warrants the belief tha three o” four times that amount of clo"bes coull be washed in one forenoon with very little more effort.” "Although you say that as a Joke,” answered Mrs. Hooper seriously, “it is really my Idea of what ought to be done if we were really all as democratic as we pretend to be. and if we realised how much more could be accomplished in the way of sane living if community systems really worked.” "Well I suppose the public laundry fnrnlshes the ‘community’ idea in the matter of washing clothes.” said the Bride as she steriliied the Jars for the tomatoes that they were putting up by the cold pack method. “You can't improve on that unless to suggest some way to cut down the cost of having your washing done by the laundry. ' "I have a much better idea than that,' laughed Mrs. Hooper, "and If human nature were a little different I m sure It would work.” “What is it?" .inquired the Bride curiously. Mrs. Hooper prepared her colored “load’’ for ringing as she replied. "It is perfectly absurd, for instance for seven or eight women in this bloc* to each spend the entire time Tuesday morning doing the washing for one fam lly. My idea would be to have the eignt families pool their money and equip one lanndrj with the best and latest electrical appliances for washing and ironing. then gather the clothes of all the families on the block and have one woman each week take her turn doing the washing for them ail." “But it would take her the whola day.’ exclaimed the Bride as she ladled the tomatoes into the jars. “What if it did," replied Mrs. Hooper. “She wouldn’t have to wash again for eight weeks when her turn would come around once more, and besides she wouldn’t be as tired as If she were doing Just her own washing in the old fashioned way.” "But what would become of her housework and marketing and the care of the children?” asked the Bride. "Why the other seven women who were released from washing would in turn take on the temporary care of her house very easily," explained Mrs. Hooper as she began preparing the com that was to take the place of the eight Jars of toma toes now being "processed." "Half of nearly every woman's day on Tuesday is taken up now doing her washing to the exclusion of all her other housework any how. so she would really gain In the end In time.” “Well it all sounds very simple and lovely." laughed the Bride, "but I know there’d be a hitch some where." "Besides mother," Interrupted Helen who had been listening attentively while she stripped the corn, "everyone's clothes would get all mixed up. We’d all be having each other’s sheets and towels all the time.” “Not if the linen and clothes of every family were marked the way they should be but seldom are.” replied Mrs. Hooper. “The laundries have a system of their own for marking clothes to keep them from getting lost and mixed up. Every housekeeper should have the clothes of each member of her family as well as the table and bed linen, marked with a name or an initial or some distinctive stamp that identifies It immediately as belonging to a certain person whether they ever go to a laundry or not.” “I suppose you'd make that the work of little girls' like me” observed Helen sensing another Job that would include her In her mother's new scheme for efficiency. . ~ _ Mrs. Hooper laughed, “les. I believe I would. I’m sure that hours and hours are wasted in many families that might be put to some use. or be piss’d in pleasure and that are frittered away from no other cause, than that each one in the household has to spend so much time looking flor things that have been put away in some other person’s wardrobe or dresser, Just because they have no mark on them. It would also put a stop to a habit which I so much dislike and that exists in nearly every family where there are several boys and girls and that is the habit of wearing each other's things.” “Well. I don't believe I’d ever be any more enthusiastic about doing the wash for every man, woman and child on ti

block, than Helen is at the idea of marking the clothes,” laughed the Bride as she took off her apron. “Because most people feel like that is the reason that practical plans for community service develops so slowly,” concluded Mrs. Hooper sagely.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. | By David Cory. You remember in the last story that the Noah's Ark had ran aground on an Iceberg during the night, and that everybody was almost frozen when they woke up tha next morning. "We'd better set about getting the Ark off as soon as pojsible,” said Mr. Jonah, after Captain Noah had made an inspection. Some of the animals ere nearly perished with the cold. Tha monkeys are rolled up so tight you’d think they were fqr balls. Only the po.ar bears seem to enjoy life, and they are Just crazy to get out and take a run on the Ice.”

“Let them wait,” said Captain Noah, ’’w-a have more serious things to attend to than pleasure for the moment.” "Here, my little kitten,” said kind Mrs. Noah to Puss Junior, “put on this muffler if you’re going out. It's pretty cold." So Puss tied the warm muffler around his neck and stepped out on deck. A beautiful mt’ his eyes. Towering high •above him was a mountain of glittering let while as far as the eye could reach was ,\ field of ice and snow. Down on the Ice, -lose to the Ark, Captain Noah and his crew were busily at work. "Guess we’U have to give it up.” exclaimed Captain Noah after an hour’t hard work, during which time the Ark had not moved an inch. "We’d better make up onr minda to winter here until the iceberg floats into a warmer climate and either melts or breaks apart.” "That's cheerful,” said Mrs. Noah. "I've nothing but summer flannels and a mackintosh with me." "What about some of the poor animals

who are used to the torrid zone?” replied Captain Noah, shouldering the crowbar and climbing up the rope ladder to the deck of the Ark. Mr. Jonah did not reply, but turned up his coat collar and stamped his feet to keep warm. “The hairless Mexican dog will surely die If we don't do something for him,” said Ham. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued
