(irditer's Note: M is one of au un-
usual eerie of conking artkies by

Palms)
What fascinating places some
kitchens are! Bright and at-
tractive they literally inspire
their owners to better cook-
ing deeds
Every house-
wife owes
herself a well-
lighted cheery kitch-
en For she
spends more
time in the
Miss ROSA kitchen than
micFmaus any other
place
Gray Kitchans
Gray kitchens ars very popular
these days In fact the are more
in favor than white 01101L That'
becauee they are almost as light as
white kitchens and so very much
easier to keep clean White shows
every fingermark
One of the most attractive kitch-
ens has gray walla woodwork
kitchen cabinet cupboards and
helve All Sr painted a glossy
gray which can be quickly washed
with a damp cloth Fresh white
curtains tionlered in pink are at the
wide windows And a neat linoleum
black and gray squared covers the
door
A Rest COMO?
Stove table high 'work stool and
cabinet are grouped for easy work
—to save steps And in one part
of the kitchen is the housewife's
rest corner—a rocking chair and
table with reading matter Many a
"rest minute" can be snatched
while meals are cooking
Truly 'such a kitchen is happy
place in which to work And Ian t
it true that the housewife's happi-
ness la rellecell In better meals?
In such n kitchen tta the one just
described the work is an much eas-
ier that the housewife is often in-
spired to make new dishes—a
change from the regular round of
meat and potatoes

ment E L Lynch
iint five miles west
of Fort Cobb tin last Friday after-
noon At last he heard the whistle
of a train to the east and it Wa3
not long until the locomotive of No
107 poked her nose around a curve
The man succeeded without diffi-
culty in attracting the engineer who
brought his train to a full stop at
a safe point of danger The train
was in charge of—Conductor G W
Miller and Engineer Harry Zim-
merman was at the throttle
After alighting from the train
it was made plainly apparent to the
crew and passengers that if Mr
Lynch had not discovered the weak-
ened structor and stopped the train
it could not possibly have escaped
going through the bridge with fear-
ful results more than likely
The train was carrying a heavy
passenger list made up principally
of Rotarians who were en route to
their homes from attending a con-
vention of their onler at Chickaha
and these as well as the trainmen
were profuse in expressing their
gratitude to Mr Lynch
While Mr Lynch done no more
than his duty or what any other
person would have done in such an
emergency it befell his lot to per-
form this duty and he performed
it well Otherwise The Express
would have had a much different
story to tell—loss of life perhaps
and of people broken in body and
spirit—for the engineer of the No
107 tells that he would not have
been able to see the defects in the
bridge until too late to save his
train
Owing to the fact that few trains
were being operated over this divi-

The day will be one of good sport

teams are strong while the Bull-

stays by "Jinks" being out on ac-
count of injury "Jinks" is the
