Il really don't think we're going to
have enough tables for all the people,
complained Miss Jones at the church
dinner, with a deepening OF the
wrinkles of many cares. Il don't see
why the minister made it such a pub

known that We have to borrow dishes
for the dinner"

Gently at the clock. It's about time

Miss Jones moved nervously over to
one of the tables. Il really don't think

choose to answer as she fused over

aorist promised faithfully that he'd

"Oh, did you buy the flowers?" some
one inquired politely.

mittee. But / know that florist of old,
SO ! just called him up this afternoon
and told him that / wouldn't tolerate

Miss Jones moved away, greatly agi-
tated over the falseness OF the word
OF florists
Oh, are you going to wear that big
apron?' she inquired, stopping small
girl who was hurrying in with tray
of dishes. Il thought all the girls
We're going to wear small round

think uniformity is much better. Didn't

she watched the service. nAre you

Bettering the Home Lighting

That the house is equipped with
electric lights Is not all sufficient.
In many cases the wiring was done
before the new metal ilament lamps
we're even dreamed OF and, conse-
quently, some very radical changes
are necessary if the occupant is to
get the full benefit of the new lamps
In nearly every home the lighting
could be improved with very little
trouble and forethought.
In the first place, nearly everyone
burns incandescent lamps long after
they have seen their best day. 1t is
a fact that the old carbon filament
electric lamps deteriorate very fast
in value after the first few hundred
hours. although they continue to use
up the valuable electric energy. Thus
a lamp rated at sixteen candie-pewer
when new, at the end of four hun
dred hours would be giving about ten
candle-power. This is very far from
being good economy, inasmnch as
most electric light concerns are per-
fectly willing to exchange these old
lamps for new, entirely free of charge
In justice to your eyesight change the
lamps often.
Even. though carbon filament lamps
are supplied free of charge it is even
better economy to buy metal filament
lamps for the rooms where the most
| light is required, such as the dining
room. the living room and the kitchen.
These lamps cost more, it is true, but
they viii give three times the light
of the old carbon lamps for the same
amount of current.
In purchasing new lamps for the
home there are three things to under
stand. You must know the voltage
of the electric circuit, the "wattage'
Of the lamps and the kind of lamps
you want.
Metal filament lamps are the very
latest Development in electric light
| ing for the home They give a clear
/ penetrating white light which is very
pleasant TO the eyes. In order to gel
the best results the question of volt
age must be considered. Voltage
means electrical pressure, and If the
house voltage is ITO the lamps must
| be rated the same. Lamps of too lit
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-08-30

tie voltage will last bnt little while
on high voltage lines and lamps of 80
vet rating when used on a 10 volt
circuit will give very little light, be-
cause the pressure Is 100 low. An
fnqIirysat the electric light company's
Office will supply this information
and all lamps purchased should be of
this same voltage rating.
Lamps are also rated in wattage.
The wattage of lamp expresses the
amount of electrical power it will con-
sumo when operated on circuit Of
the proper voltage. The candle-power
of a. Mazda lamp is about four-fifths
of its wattage. 1t is hard to establish
"a definite rule for determining the
proper wattage of lamps for residence
use, but generally an allowance of
one-half to three-auarters of watt
per square foot of floor space will be
found adequate If metal filament
lamps are used the allowance will
have to be from two to three times
as great If carbon lamps are used.
Rooms with dark wall paper, tapes
tries and furnituree will require a
higher allowance than those with a
light colored interior.
AS an example, say it is desired to
Illuminate room containing 200
square feet of floor space and having
fairly light colored furnishings. For
this room we would require 200 times
Ione-half, or 100 watts of electrical pow
er. II we use metal flament or
Mazda lamps, we accordingly would
use for this room either enc 100-watt
lamp or preferably four 25-watt lamps.
| It is understood, of course. that these
lamps should be equipped with suit

small lamps are to be preferred to a
lsingle large enc, because they can be
/ placed in different parts of the room
land thus give more uniform illumina-
ton throughout the room. If, upon
inquiry, it is found that the voltage
of the circuit is 10 volts, the lamps
would be ordered as follows: -Four

Chamber Of Commerce TO Arrange
for Big Feast in Near Future

A gratifying amount cf interest in
the Chamber of Commerce which, APP
parently. had abated during the sum-
mer months, was revived Tuesday
night, when a number of members
gathered in the Chambers quarters in
response to the call of the president,
Ennalls Waggaman.
There was a general discussion of
several subjects, but the question of
not only maintainin the high spirit of
the organization, but getting addi-
tional members was touched upon
very strongly.
1t was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to be known as the Citizens
Committee, " to perfect plans for civic
improvement along various lines, and
tentative plans also were launched
looking to holding a banquet some
time in the near future. The pro-
posed banquet is not to be feast for
the members of the Chamber alone,
but one to which all business men OF
the city will be invited. In other
words it is to be called a Business
Mems Banquet.
