Pindell of Peoria, I1!., to-day decline the appointment ambassador to Russia, to which he was confirmed by the Senate last week. | Ho expressed the belief that the controversy. that preceded his con- firmation had emvarrassed him s0 that he might not be able properly to act as American ambassador. President Wilson immediately ac- cepted the declination, and in a letter to Pindell praised him for his action. Tn his letter to the President Mr. , Pindell said: 'I deeply appreciate the honor you have done me in nominating me Am- bassador to Russia and the very Great compliment paid me by the @enate in confirming the nomination by unanimous vote, I had hoped and confidently expected when you asked | me to accept the post that I could)! @o 0 at once and take up my work at a very early date.

There should be nothing * personal to talk about or explain there, as far as the Ambassador bim- self tp concerned, “I beg, therefore, that trusting me to be guided by my own instinct in this matter, you will accept my as- surances of deep gratitude for the honor you have sought to do me and permit me with genuine regret, but with no hesitation of judgment, to decline the appvintment. “With apntiments of distinguished consideration, believe me to be, Mr. President, “HENRY M.

In reply, the President wrote: “Pear Mr. Pindell: Your letter does great credit to your delicate sense of propriety and serves to in- crease, if that were possible, my ad- iration for you and my confidence im your eminent fitness for the mis- sien which you now decline. “I can but yield to your judgment in the matter, because it is clear to me, that feeling as you do, whether you ape fully justified in that feeling or not, you would not be comfortable in the post.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Put your home on a business basis! That is one woman's dauntless answer to the intricate problem of modern home-making. The American housewife may solve the high cost of living, free herself from wearisome physical drudg- ery, increase her allowance of time, health and hap-; piness, if she will but employ in her home the same principles of scientific management which her husband long ago adopted in his office. In the one word “Ef- ficiency” Mra. Christine Frederick sums up a whole Rew gospel of housework. Mrs, Frederick {s the author of “The New House- ind @ frequent contributor to magazines. But to me the most interesting thing about her is that she is a practical working model of her theories. At Apple- croft, her home in Greenlawn, Long Island, she keeps house for her husband and two lively black-eyed babies, and she has never put on paper a single suggestion unless it has met her own stringent ideas of usefulness. keeping’ od Literally, all her reforms begin at hi She believes in the individual fatmily abiding-place, as opposed to But she believes, too, that the new-fashioned hotel or community life. home will differ from the old. This is how she sums up that difference: WHERE THE OLD-FASHIONED HOUSEKEEPER [8 SHY. “The old home, supplyjfg the manu- factures it needed within its four walls, required principally labor and manual skill. The modern home re- quires joss manual skill, but a great many more mental and spiritual at- tributes. The olg-fashioned woman— however attractfve in romance—ts un- able to cope with modern demands. She is merely a housekeeper and her housekeeping lar below the stand- ards of to-day. “Just exactly what is the matter with old-fasnioned housekeeping?" 1) asked Mre.

About 90 per cent. of inefficiency in all cooking tasks is due to waste motion caused by unascjentide placing of kitchen equipment, “There are two main processes in kitchen work, the pre; food and tl fo taken from storage, prepared on a table, cooked on a stove and served. Therefore the equipment used should arranged in the following order: The pantry or storage, the kitchen table, the stove, the serving table. In cle: ing away food the soiled d taken to the sink, wi drained and laid away. Therefore the etack-table should be at the right of the sink, the drain at the left, the china and utensil shelves at the left of the drain. “Utensils and tools whould be placed near the large process of which they form a part, Generally tea in kept in a pantry thirty feet away from the tea pot on the kitchen shelf, In the efficient kitchen tea and pot are adjacent so that both cun be lifted down at the same mo- ment, Instead of keeping can-ope: 5 parer, corer in drawers, they should| be hung directly oftr the preparing surface, In my own Kitchen,” fin- ished Mra. Frederick, “every tool is placed exactly where It is needed for the actual work—the bread knife near the bread box, and so on,” TIME TABLE SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE. Then she showed me an interesting time table she had prepared, which |ilustrated the differer between cooking one thing at a time cooking several. There was a really scientific reason back of grandma's baking day, even if she didn't know it, “By preparing several dishes at the same time,” summed up Mrs, Fred erick, “the time spent in grouping the materials is cut down one-half and the time spent in clearing awa) is cut down more than one-half, | “A card catalogue system is another great help in the house- | hold.
