Handy Man" Invents
An Indirect Light

It was so hard to find a place to
work in the kitchen where you would
not be in your own light. Getting a
meal on winter evenings always pre-
sented difficulties on this account.
Until the HANDY man" of the house
learned about indirect electric light
ing, that is.
The indirect bowl lights every cor
ner of the room and casts no, shad-
ows anywhere, he discovered. Indi-
rect fixtures were expensive, but he
was not "handy man" for nothing.
He took the metal shade already in
use in the kitchen, small bowl of
green enamel on the outside and white
within, turned it upside down, and by
suspending it upon reading lamp
harp" he presently had a new light
ing fixture of his own. The bowl was
hung to the same pipe on which it
had been suspended before, and a 75-
watt lamp was inserted.
The small kitchen was completely
changed as a result of the innovation.
On stormy afternoon, or in the dusk
of early evening, it was possible to
work conveniently at any side of the
room. Mrs. Housewife was amazed.
She didn't quite understand how her
husband had suddenly become such
an electrical wizard.
"To think that my hands are never
in a shadow-it's quite beyond me-"
she declared. "I never did enjoy my
kitchen so much before. And 1 can
see into every drawer and cupboard
much better than by laylight."
The secret, as Mr.. Handy Man ex-
planned, lies in the fact that light
rays are reflected from every possible
angle all over the room when they
come from the indirect shade. There
is practically no shadow at all, and so J
this makes ideal illumination for the /
home workroom.

Hospitality

Mrs. s. l.. Rugg extended the hos

ing Tuesday evening. Miss Mathilda
Deitchman, who is indebted also to

to Bozeman, and attendance at the vo-
cation congress held there, was pres
ent and gave a most complete and
satisfying account of all the sessions
held. giving the names of the various
speakers appearing before the con-
gress and important extracts from
their addresses. Another worthwhile
feature of the evening was a splendid
talk by Mrs. Thomas Dignan upon the
central figures in the political life of
Germany today and also interesting
data regarding the condition of the
country. A general discussion fol-
lowed. Social informally was en-
ioved before adjournment, Mrs. Rugg
adding to the pleasure of her guests
by serving hot tea and waters.
The next meeting will be held at

duties as night marshal, to find this

The new republic of Poland, along
with its other troubles, is wrestling with
the liquor problem. 1t has adopted a pol
icv that is pretty near to prohibition.
There is to be no traffic in whiskey and
other strong drinks Beer is to be re-
stricted to an alcoholic content of 21h
per cent. The saloon is forbidden to ex-
list. Cafes and restaurants are licensed
to sell this weak beer provided their
number does not exceed one to each $500
population. Proprietors are subject to
arrest if there is any drunkenness on
their premises. All liquor stocks are
taxed 20 per cent of their value

and growing severity of the dry move

One cannot help noticing that the
northwestern part of Vermont seems often
to escape some very severe winter storms
that bring trouble. destruction and even
loss of life to sections far to the south.
No doubt most people along the Atlantic

to the North Pole, but the fact is. year

ably and with less disaster than do those
who consider themselves more fortunately
situated from the standpoint of climate
than we are.
OF course, we are better prepared for
winter than those to the south. We ex-
pect heavy falls of snow, seem to know
how to take care of them when they

it happens, as it just has, that the storm
from the south never gets as far north
as this. We have longer pulls of real
cold weather. but it is a dry cold which
can easily,be kept out both from the body
and the home, so that we do not suffer,
even with the thermometer below zero the
way they do in Boston. for instance, when
it is above, because there the dampness
cuts to the very marrow. When one
measures it all in all, Vermont is a pretty
good place in which to winter.
