AWKWARD WAYS
WASTE ENERG Y

From buttoning shoes TO washing
dishes, there is an easy and awkward
way Of doing all work, as everyone
well knows. Now. along comes the
scientist. who says his experiments
show that, aside from feeling and
looking more comfortable when you
do your work in the right way. you
also save considerable energy.
This fact is one Of several which
recent experiments made by the Office
Of Home Economics Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have disclosed. These experiments
have been made for the purpose Of
determining the energy requirements
Of an individual in the various circum-
stances Of his daily life and for use
in estimating the amounts and kinds
Of food required by him TO meet the
needs Of his body for energy.
II was found in the homely every
day task Of dish washing that. when a
woman washed dishes on a table 80
low tha; she was obliged to bend over,
her energy output was 30 oalorics per
hour. When she washed them on q
table that was a little too high FOR
comfort. il required . caiories per
hour. while only p Galleries were used
when the working surface vas u the
