ENERGY SPENT
IN HOUSE WORK
IS MEASURED

DR.. C. F. Langworthy and H. G..
Barott of the office of home eco
Monies, United States department
of agriculture in Washington. have
recently concluded q series of ex-
periments with a woman subject in
connection with respiration calor-
imeter to measure the energy ex-
penditure in doing household work.
An important feature of the de-
vice is chamber with alright and
heat proof walls. Several small
openings in the walls provide for
the passage of air pipes. water
pipes and wires for electric cur
rent. The circulation of air within
the chamber is maintained by a
rotary air pump driven by an cleo
trio motor of 1-S horse power.
The government tests revealed
that less arduous tasks such as sew
ing, darning, knitting evolved an
expenditure of nine calories an
hour in excess of the heat output
when the subject relaxed in chair.
The heat output when the subject
rested formed the basis of com
parison. More laborlous activities

expenditure Of energy.
Sweeping was done on the bare
floor of the chamber with a broom
thirty-eight complete strokes being
made each minute. In the floor
washing experiment a dry cloth and
empty pail were used while the
woman on her knees did the work
by the old method, making eighty
five short rubs of the cloth on the
floor in SO seconds, wringing the
cloth in the pail for 10 seconds.
Forty caiorIes an hour were used
for this work alone, proving that
this form of work is greater in
energy expenditure than sewing or
knitting or darning. Moreover the
use of water lifting and wringine
a wet cloth would mean an increas-
ed energy expenditure.
'Laborious toil' is the correct
classification for doing laundry
work by old methods as the energy
output in washing hand towels,
rubbing them on a scrub board
and wringing each one for Is Sec
onds, called foE 49.6 calories per
hour.

HOME LIGHTING
GETTING MORE:
CONSIOE RATION

Electrical trade men see indica-
lions that the subject of lighting
the home is coming into its own.
Much more attention is now being
given this question. illuminating
engineers say, than was ever before
the case. So widespread are the
evidences in question that the pre-
diction of some remarkably attrac-
Tive dwellings within the next ten
Iyears when building is again uni
yersal, is considered amply justi-
fled.
Just as 1t Is now q foregone con-
clusion that a goodly percentage Of
new homes built during the ensu-
ing decade will be Of the all-elec-
trical type, so it is also believed the
lighting of those new homes will
produce astonishing and artistic re-
suits,
Meanwhile, experts are pointing
out with new vigor the Importance
of adequate lighting, the delight of
artistic lighting. and the ease with
with which both may be obtained
in these days of highly efficient cleo
trio lamps, A common belief~of/the
public, that to properly light a
house by electricity is very eXpen-
sive, Is shattered by an analysis Of
the matter.
1t is shown that a moderately
large house can be finely lighted
for a sum varying from to 10
cents a day. 1t is also declared
that those who build their own
homes can both install and main
tain an ideal lighting system for 10
cents a day--less than the price of
a cigar and particularly less than
the cost of an ice cream delicacy
at the fountain.

SLIM LOOKING ANKLES.

Slender ankles are so much
sought after that beauty shops in
London and Paris actually have
machines for making the ankles
slender. 1t is done by some sort
of baking process which melts the
superfluous fat from the ankles,
but 1t doesn't sound the least bit
comfortable. The ankles usually
will grow slender as the body
grows slender, though this is not
an invariable rule.
The continuous wearing of high
heels will quite often make the an
kles thick by putting a strain on
certain little muscles along the
sides and lower part of the leg.
Moderately low heels are always
the best choice. High shoes will
sometimes wear away a deposit of
fat around the ankles, but on the
other hand they have so many dis
advantages that they should never
be worn when a low oxford can
be worn instead Thanks to the
recent fashion for wool hose Ok
lords can now be worn far into the
winter months.
Silk stockings will make the an
kles look slim because the weave
of the silk shadows the outline of
the ankle and makes 1t appear
much more slender. Black stock
ings will make the ankles look
slender because black has this eff
feet. while white will make them
them look thicker.
Leg developing exercises also
tend to reduce the ankles and to
round out the calf Of the leg, and
a vigorous massage Of the ankles
with the hands has often done Won

around the ankles. There is nc

break up the fat particles that
form an undesirable layer round

A RAINY WASH DAY IS

use for the fan and he relates the

''In making my regular rounds

DICK TALKS OF SENDING
JUNIOR AWAY
Chapter 81

Chapter 81
I entered upon my contract with
Mrs. Hubbard with delight. Not
even Dicks indifference could take
away the Joy I felt in being able
to earn so large A sum toward our
new home. Then too 1 loved the
work, the rich dainty stuffs. the
mingling Of colors to get certain
results. 1t was often like painting
a picture.
Then she was so enthusiastic
over everything I did. And she
made things very easy for me. The
days I spent in her home she in
variably sent her car for me, and
always had me driven home. Thus
the Spring days passed.
The house was well under way.
We had adhered to our original
idea of a modest but convenient
home. The only change had been
of my making, and that a simple
one-a large bow window in Dick s
study. He was to have the sun
niest, pleasantest room in the
house In which to write his stories.
and then his novel, which he had
long planned, should be written
when he could afford to take the
time.
Like most wives 7 had unbound
ed faith in his ability to succeed.
When we were first married had
used to complain because he didn't
make money fast enough. had
learned my lesson, that he would
have been successful had 1 allowed
him to be, even then. Perhaps 1t
gave me even more confidence in
him now. But be that as it may.
I was sure that his unwritten nov
ell would, when it appeared, be the
best seller of the year.
So was pleased when he said
the plans for the house suited him
even though we might have been
hasten the time when his novel
would be written by taking more
work, and saving the money
against that time when no stories
would bring occasional checks, be-
cause he would use the time for
his book.
All this while Juanita was on In
innate terms with us. She came
over nearly every day. Dick often
walked home with her, and some
times would remain for an hour
or two. They also took long walks,
just as they had the year before,
but now I was seldom asked to
accompany them. If I gave 1t a
thought It was to blame myself
because my invariable reply had
been:
"You run along! I'm too busy"
Yet I sort of missed not being
asked.
1t was the sort of O. feeling !

husband to compliment me, say

I was slowly missing that warm

missed.
I had grown very self-depraca
tory when Juanita was around
She and Dick seemed to have SC
much in common. I would SIT
quietly at times and listen to their
talk of books and people who had
written them, but oftener left
them along? They didn't seem to
need me.
Juanita continued to dress with
varied, but always bewilderine
achievement. Whatever else one
did, the never could ignore Juan
