An advantage of electric washing
and ironing which has never been
sufficiently emphasized. is that by
this method one can iron clothes
direct from the wringer In bal

hang the clothes out OF doors for
drying and summing, there is thus no
longer any need to stretch a line in

HOW TO GET SCIENTIFIC
LIGHTING IN KITCHEN

In most kitchens no matter what
you are doing. you always stand in
your own light. Practically all
kitchen work is done with your face
to. the wall, with the central lighting
fixture at your back casting shadows
on sink stove, table, and china cup
boards.
To get best lighting results use. for
a center fixture, an enclosing globe
Of white glass somwhat mushroom"
shaped. Have this mounted close to
the ceiling and equip 1t with a 100
or $50 watt daylight lamp. Also pro-
vide light over the sink about
six feet above the floor and from six
to twelve inches from the wall. This
may either a wall bracket or a light
suspended from the ceiling. The
installation for one or the other OF
these arrangement is inexpensiVely
done by running an extension from
the center fixture. For this light use
a deep shade open at the bottom and
made of white glass. For the comfort
of the worker, kitchen lighting de.
serves some nsideration.

to sweep. dust, make beds, wash,

Bulbs five special feelings to pre-

The mechanics of living took so
much OF her energy that she had
neither the time nor the heart for
real living. She had an unpleasant
suspicion that she was becoming
shrewish and quiCk-tempered and
that was why the children were un
ruly and fretful.
Too bad, isn't il, THAI room and
wash board should take such an un-
fair proportion of the precious energy
and good humor of young mothers?
Normal children are bound to tear up
priced books forgetfully left within
their reach. And they will dig
stubby toes, eager fingers, and
chubby knees into every bit OF dirt
and litter within the radius of their
activities and subsequently trail all

Eut the mothers who use electric

letting electric power substitute for

minutes; and the other items in pro-

these fiat pieces. A deft-fingered
worker can do amazing things with
an electric ironer after a little prac-

linens, such as center pieces. are
better done on an electric ironer than

Any and all kinds OF this ironing
may be done when the clothes are
only wringer dry. The electric
ironer in combination with the elec.

housewife independent both OF the
