bert had gone that he would start re-
vising the campaign schedule by cutting
out the contemplated trip to the Pacific
Coast in September.

he has telegraphed the Pennsylvania Pro-
gressives that he will be able to make but
one.
On returning to New York on wednes-
day he will go under treatment of DR..
Holbrook Curtis. throat specialist. After
that he will come back to Oyster Bay to
try out DR.. Lamberts rest cure.
The Roosevelt plan OF action, he said.

But in any case where We are
either building or care to go TO the
expense of new installations We
should know more about the entirely
new idea in home lighting, which is
called by the various names of semi
indirect or indirect lighting This
means that instead of the present
fixtures. bulbs and ground glass
shades which throw the light di-
rectly downward. We. can have fin
lures which resemble inverted bowls
of opoaue glass with the bulbs SO
arranged as to throw the light up
ward and not downward. thus giving
a soft diffused ranance into all
parts of the room instead of a hard,
bright light in only one place.
There are various types OF this in
direct lighting suitable for all rooms
from the kitchen to the parlor The
shallow bowl which contains the
electric bulbs is most decorative. as
il is generally made of opal and
other attractive kinds of glass. and
is so near the ceiling and so simple
in its lines as not to unduly attract
attention or spoil other decorative
effects in the room. With this kind
of lighting there arc no shadows.
which is A point to be considered for
those who have pictures or other art
objects
The new lighting. then. means more
artistic fixtures: light reflected up
ward instead OF DETECTED downward:
soft diffused light rather than an
intense hard glare: no strain on the
eye when compared with the old
form of harsh. garish. unprotected
light sources-less expensive light.
When will our trolleys and our
theaters adopt the new lighting?

OF light distributed. And so arose the
barroom" type of gas and electric
fixtures. with shiny ground glass
shades surrounding the globes. be-
cause such fixtures and globes in
creased the amount of direct light in
the room. At first We supposed this
TO be desirable thing, as it was in
deed desirable in commercial pur-
suits. where intense light was need
er for matching colors or for other
direct work
But such lighting fixtures and
globes are both unnecessary and in
artistic. How like a sprawlinS giant
spider on his thread is the omni-
present "chandelier" We know too,
that an overnight reading page re-
fleets light back to our eyes, whict:
causes strain and fatigue.
We know that when we arc sitting
in a room lighted by an overhead
fixture with a cluster of bulbs which
reflect downward, we inyoluntarily
shade our eyes just as We wish to
shade them from the glare in the
subway and public buildings where
the light supply Is patterned after
This garish and most trying arrange

The best lighted room does not
mean the most lighted room. Too
intense light causes q stale of retiual
exhaustion. II also compels an un-
conscious muscular contraction in
our effort to exclude the excess light.
and this causes ''theater headache,
and a great deal of general eye
strain.
Instead of copying the fixtures and
lighting methods needed In Offices
and commercial institutions. our
ideal in the home should be light
