Twenty-five and a half hours a week is the average time 2000 women In the United States spend In their kitchen, according to the bureau of home eco- nomics, said Miss Ella Cushman of the New York state college of home econo- mics at Cornell University, when show- ing how to arrange the kitchen to shorten the time necessarily spent there. Not only must ttie stove, sink, refrigerator and working table be plac- ed conveniently to each other, but also the minor equipment such as pans, paring knives, and sieves should be kept where easiest to reach and al- ways In their places. Labor saving equipment, like dish washers, mechani- cal refrigerators and electric appli- ances aid in saving time and effort. Preparing potatoes for a meal point- ed out the value of a well arranged kitchen. The potatoes were brought, washed, peeled, rinsed, placed on the stove and covered with boiling water and salt. In a poorly arranged kitchen; the same things were done with the kitchen correctly arranged; lines repre- senting the distance traveled In each case were drawn on a blackboard. The distance walked In the poorly arrang- ed kitchen was 259 feet, wliile that cov- ered In the well arranged kitchen was only 18 feet. By further calculations, it was found that in peeling potatoes once a day for 365 days in the year fifteen miles could be saved. The steps, In this case, were saved merely because a vegetable bin and garbage container were luider the sink, a sauce pan and paring knife within reach of It and salt and kettle cover and spoon at the stove.
