fine the return from the Denver con

aid Ernest 8neet, one of the members
of the local Rial Estate exehanKC at a

cussion. It was generally agreed that the
Real Estate exchange of Denver was re
sponsible for the linaiitir.il .t.t.m f
Vboulevards, and althouKh no resolutions
vera adopted by the local exchange to
Vork for better boulevards here, the Idea
aa lodged flrmlv In the hmin nf verv

ble that at ifirae future time a fight, headed

BOYS WHO RAN OFF WITH
GROCERY WAGON IN COURT
Two Arc Sent to the Detention Home,
with, a Warning to Mend
Their Ware.
Evelyn. Bert and Roland MacDonald, the
trio of little boys who made off with a
grocery wagon last Saturday night and
were arrested after a wild flight over the
Center street road in the course of which
they held up the owner of a lemonade
stand for his day's receipts and his stock,
were brought up in Juvenile court Saturday
morning on a delinquency charge. Judge
Kennedy rent Evelyn, aged 12, and Bert,
aged 11, to the Detention home until the
further order of the court.
Roland, 9 years old, was barely tall
enough to look over the table at the Judge.
The Judge told Evelyn and Bert that their
stay at the home depended entirely upon
their behavior; If it waa not good, he said,
he would be forced to the alternative of the
industrial school.
The boys have been living with their
grandmother, Mrs. Evelyn MacDonald, at
614 North Forty-fifth street. Mrs. Mac
Donald took good care to explain to the
judge that the eldest boy's name was
Evelyn and not Edward, having been
named after her, and waa born on her
forty-second birthday Just twelve years
ago.
The three little fellows did not In the
least appear the desperadoes that their
feat gave them credit for. In court they
first denied It, and then said they didn't
know why they had done It The little
Hensman boy, whose lemonade stand they
appropriated, appeared In court aa a wit
ness. A box of cigars, which the youth-,
ful bandits took from his stand, they threw
by handfula to every one they met upon
tna road.

T
HERE is only one thing In re
gard to the planning of
kitchens on which all house
keepers agree, and that Is that
It Fhnuld contain a sink. On
all other pointa there Is a wide
variance of opinion.
One woman will want a separate pan
try, with all her cupboards In It; another
would not have a pantry under any condi
tion, and wants all her cupboards In the
kitchen; one wants to do the pastry work
In the pantry and one In the kitchen; one
wants a gas stove; another declares that
bread can only be baked in an old-fashioned
coal stove; one wants the kitchen
large, another wants the kitchen small,
and so on the list might go without end,
but all agree that It should contain a
sink, located where the light will shine
In It, but even In regard to the sink there
Is a wide variance In opinion. Some want
two drain boards, others one drain board;
some want this on the left side, others on
the right side; some want the sink large
enough for one dlshpan, others do not us.
dlshpans at all, but want a stopper sink
of small size In which the dishes are
washed. It Is, therefore, with considerable
apprehension that an architect attempts
to describe what, according to his opinion,
a modern kitchen should contain.
Kitchens, the same as all other parts
of a house, vary according to family re
quirements. If tha family Is small and
the woman of tha house does her own
work. It Is safe to say that she does not
care to run back and forth through a pan
try on her way to and from the dining
room while setting the table; neither does
she wish to go Into the pantry for every
dish that she may need. Her kitchen
should, therefore, contain everything
within easy reach, every available wall
surface not needed for other kitchen furni
ture being covered with a cupboard. The
cupboard should contain wood doors since
glass doors are sometimes broken.
The kitchen cupboard should be in two
parts. The lower part should contain
drawers or cupboards according to prefer
ence, up to a countertop; about thirty
Inches from the floor. There should then
be an open space of about eighteen Inches
so that this countertop can be used as a
convenient place to lay things, and above
should be located a cupboard containing
adjustable shelves and enclosed with wood
doors. All cupboards of every description
should have wood backs. When the cup
boards extend to the celling, the upper
part above the line of easy reach should
have separata doors so that It may be
used as a storage space for things not In
frequent use such as - empty fruit Jars,
Jelly glasses, etc. When tha cupboards
do not extend to the celling, the top of the
cupboard should be slanted - on a steep
pitch, so that it wjjl not. become a catch-all
or a place for tha dust to accumulate. '
Imitation tile wainscoting made of ce
ment plaster marked off to imitate tile and
then painted or enameled Is not an expen
sive feature.
Kitchen walls and celling should never
be papered, but have a smooth plaster

coat painted. Whether the kitchen range
should be a gas range or an old-fashioned
coal range Is a matter of entirely personal
preference. When the gas Is available,
there Is no doubt but what a gas range
la far more convenient. The fuel is al
ways ready at the touch of a match, and
there are no ashes to be taken care of,
with their attendant muss on the kitchen
floor. It Is also more compactly built, tak
ing up less room, and does not give off
as much heat Into the room.
The kitchen sink should not be less than
twenty by thirty Inches, with a twelve-inch
enameled back all In one piece. The stand
ard height from the floor to the rim of the
sink Is thirty-tour Inches, but this can be
varied according to the height of the person
using It Enameled Iron drain boards are
not practicable, since china dishes are too
frequently broken upon them. The best '
drain boards are either cypress or cedar.
Borne women prefer a large kitchen, stat
ing that they want "plenty of room to turn
around In," others prefer a small kitchen
because It saves steps. It Is really a
matter of personal preference, although
a kitchen need not be large If It Is con
veniently planned, and doors And windows
so arranged to leave good wall spaoea. When
It Is Intended that a servant should do
the work, tha pantry between tha kitchen
and dining room then acts as a barrier to
sound and kitchen odora. Servants are
sometimes rather noisy. In entertaining
their friends, or In the handling of various
cooking utensils and tha pantry with Its
double doors helps , to eliminate kitchen
noises to a large extent.
When the locaMon of the lot will per
mit It Is best to place tha kitchen In the
northwest corner, or at least somewhere
on the north side of the house. The
kitchen Is always warm enough during
the winter, and during the summer, It be
ing far warmer than any other room In
the house. It should be located on the
north -ride. When located on the south
side the hot glare of the sun during the
morning, when most kitchen work Is done,
added to the heat created within the
kitchen, makes It almost unbearable. Also,
during the summer the prevailing winds
being from a southerly direction, and the
windows and doors being open, the cook
ing odors are carried through the house,
most of the odor and smoke going up the
stairway, which acts as a flue. When
the kitchen Is located on the north side
this annoying feature is not experienced.
since a draft goes entirely through the
house before it reaches the kitchen and
the odors are then carried from the
kitchen outdoors.
There are many little conveniences
which can be easily provided In every
kitchen; for example, two or three shal
low shelves set In the wall above the sink,
the same as In the bathroom medicine
csbinet, only without the doors, always
proves convenient as a place to set a
clock, toilet soap, matches, etc.
A bottomless drawer slid out from un
der the sink board and containing nickel
plated racks on which to hang towels Is
an Improvement over the old swinging
rack, which hits you In the eye every
time you venture Into the kitchen In the
dark. It Is best, when possible, to locate
the Ice box outside of the kitchen at a
point convenient for the Iceman, either
In an outside entry or In the pantry with
an outside folding door. '

Coke Fiend Arrested
for Stealing a Bible
When Found He Had Two Colored
Boyi Cornered, Declaring He
Would Convert Them.
As Blaine Dewey was walking down
Dodge street between Twelfth and Elev
enth Saturday morning reading a few
scriptures from a Bible he was accosted
by Troy Harris, a black-faced police char
acter.
'What fo' am you all read in' " asked
Harris.
'Ths Bible, my dear sir," was the polite
return.
"Well, now, you all Jus' tun dat ders
book over to me." cams from ths dusky
Individual.
"Why. my dear sir, it is my property,
and I would not part with that Bible for
anything, and"
"Nevah you mln' about that." broke kn
Harris, "you all tun dat ere little Bibls
ovah to me, or I will be fo'ced to uas you

Ths look In Harris' eyes was too much for
Blaine and he handed ths Bible over to
Harris and ran to the police station, where
he reported tha matter. A search was
then made for Harris by Dewey and a
bluecoat. and he was found at the corner
of Twelfth and Dodge streets telling of the
wonderful power of the Bible to two little
negro boys he had cornered against a
building. He was taken to the station and
charged with being a "coke fiend."
"Why, ah was Jus' going to convert all
