PAPER|NG AFFECTS
BILLS FOR LIGHT
"RefIection" From Walls Has
Much to Do With Cost
of Illumination.

When you are nguring out some
way TO cut down expenses next month
take q look at your wall paper. IL
may have had more to do with that
big bill for electricity than the wife's
new flat iron or cooker.
Upon the color and design or wall
paper or wall paint or stain depends
to a large extent the amount OF light
reflected, and the amount OF reflected
light In the house has a good deal to
do with the light bills.
In that brown library. for instance,
you may never have noticed before
that IL Is necessary to turn on six
lights before illumination 10 sufficient.
whereas in the sewing room with the
pink paper one or two lights are suf-
fcient.
The reason 10 that the brown paper
gives back In reflected light only
about I3 per cent whereas the pink
paper gives back at least 80. You
may be very partial to the brown
library. but II undoubtedly has good
deal to do with the light bills.

ing facts about light reflection and

Scientists call the chemical change

new ELECTRIC HEATER
HAS AUTOMATIC CONTROL

An electric water heater which au-
tomatically keeps the water at a pre-
determined temperature is being
manufactured in Cleveland. The au-
tomato control is secured by means
OF a tube OF volatile fluid which ex-
pands or contracts as the water heats
or cools.
When the sensitive Nuid expands, 1t
exerts pressure on the control guage
to the predetermined point, where
upon the contact is broken and the
current automatically cut off. II the
hot water in the tank is used or IL its
temperature declines even one or two
degrees, the fluid contracts and the
current is automatically turned on.
The heater is offered with heating
elements of two sizes. 600 and 1000
watts. The 660-watt size is oper-
ated from the ordinary lamp socket
Outer insulation OF the tank is claim

The housewives are demanding
something more than labor-sAving.
The device which Is not thorough,

splinters. the pins that baby usually

the suction cleaner.
One of the most important savings
of the suction cleaner Is in the health

ADVICE ON KEEPING UP
YOUR HOUSE WIRING

Adding to your house wiring equip
ment from time to time is as easy
and as necessary as adding to your
stock of furniture, Erie, Penn, cleo
tricians say. And here are some Of
the reasons they mention:
Thorough comfort in the use OF
electric appliances in the home de-
pends on having plenty of handy out
let's where the fan or the vacuum
cleaner or the beautiful portable lamp
can be connected. II you are forced
to take a lamp out of a fixture sock
ct every time and string cord over
picture frames OF furniture, the nuls-
ance of connecting II very often ais
courages you from using the appii-
ance. 1t is always makeshift ar
rangement that looks bad and. more
over. II you leave an appliance con-
nected there you have robbed your
self of one light that you'll probably
want at night.
In order to enjoy the full convent
ences of your electric service you need
at least one base board receptacle In
every room-in the bedroom beside
the beds. for heat pad and reading
light; in every room for connecting
the suction sweeper, in the living
room for reading lights and fan.
II you have nothing but lighting
fixtures in your house or so few base
board receptacles that you have to
use some OF your fixtures for appli-
ances as we'll as for light, call in the
electrician and find out what 1t will
cost to put in a few of these handy
out let's. 1t doesn't take the wireman
long to do the job.

TWO AMERICAN LINERS
STOP FOR THE WINTER
The NelD York and St. Paul
Nay Resume in Spring.

p. A. s. Franklin, president OF the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany. announced yesterday that the
withdrawal of the American liners New
York and st. Paul from the New York.
Cherbourg- run would be
only temporary.
Exceedingly heavy operating ex-
penses," Mr. Franklin said. particularly
the high cost of coal In England, makes
the operation OF these ships Improbable
during the winter months. when the
passenger business Ia expected to be
light. Two American flag ships. the
Kroonlard and the Finland. will take
the places of tho New York and st. Paul.
stopping at Cherbourg and Southampton
on their way 10 and from Antwerp.
Statements that the termination OF
the American Line mail contracts on Oc-
tober IL had some relation TO the with
drawal of the ships arc erroneous. The
American Line made no offer TO renew
the mail contract. as It's requirements
under present circumstances and condi-
tons Of operation are very onerous"
Mr.. Franklin said the American Line
ships probably would resume in the
spring their old service and that II neces-
sary other ships would be added to Il.
