I Kiddies Korner By Madre Penn ■» w . LUGI, THE HAPPY-HEARTED ONCE upon a time there lived on the hanks of the Nile a very rich and mighty king. His kingdom stretch ed for miles and miles along the banks of this fertile river. This proud and haughty king was only happy when other people were made to feel the weight of his hand. He loved best to impose his ideas and his will upon others, and had already planned how his people should be ruled long after he himself should have passed away. Because of this great desire to keep others always under his mighty power the king could not know perfect hap piness. But his eldest son, and there fore his heir, was very unlike the king,! his father. This son’s name was I-ugi. Lugi spent all of his time trying to make other people happy and joyous and contented. Often when the king, his father, would call him into the council chamber and ask for some new plan by which the people would be compelled to double the gold that was pouring into the king’s treasury, Lugi would always plead that his father reduce the amount of taxes so that the people might have more with which to buy sweets and toys for their little girls and boys. Then the king would grow very angry and fall into such a fit of rape that his wise men and all his attend ants would run away and hide them selves for fear the king might wreak his vengeance upon them. When the king was in one of these rages he would vow to himself that Lugi should never come to the throne. As long as one of these terrible tantrums lasted no one would go near the king but his youngest son, who was the exact duplicate of his father and the only one whom his father wanted, as he was the only one who was in complete sympathy and under standing. His name was Donzetta. Donzetta was a wizened, wiry youth with the cunning and treacherous face of a monkey. Although just a youth of 16, he looked like an old man, and in spite of his youth the lines of wickedness in his face were very deep. The king loved Donzetta very much and wished that he had been his first born, for Donzetta alone he considered fit to rule a subject people. (To bp Continued.)

Ml MCIPAL LAUNDRIES FOR ENGLISH HOUSEWIVES Women's Committee Recommends the Introduction of the "Hag Wash” System as a Means of Saving Much Trouble. One of the recommendations of the women’s committee appointed by the government of Great Britain to report on ways to assure better housing and general improvement in living condi tions is that municipal laundries be established, and in this connection the “bag wash” is suggested as a means of minimizing trouble in assembling the family clothes after they have been cleansed. The “bag wash,” taken care of at a municipal laundry, according to a re port sent to the own-.vour-own-home section of the United States Depart ment of Labor, should be provided for as a means of making life easier for housekeepers of limited means. Ac cording to this plan, which has worked successfully in several foreign cities, I the laundry has a fixed price for washing the contents of a bag of cer tain size which is sent out to patrons. This bag may be packed to the limit of its capacity, and, after being received at the laundry, accompanies its con tents through the entire laundering process. Each family wash has a separate compartment in the washing machine. After being thoroughly cleansed the clothes are put through a revolving cylinder that partially dries them and they are sent home ready to be hung out or ironed. The cost of the “bag wash” which contains the linen for a family of five or six need not be more than 48 or 50 cents, according to esti mates made by the women’s commit : tee, which since its appointment has been able to contribute many novel and i practical ideas to the mass of sugges I tions for the well-being of the average English housewife.
