TN building the house of to-day
careful provision must be made
for wiring and the use of cleo
tricity In the home. Not only
should plans be made which in
clude the lighting. but the use of
electricity in connection with other
utilities, such as washer, electric
iron, heating units and table acces-
sories.
Anyone who has overseen or fol-
lowed the wiring of house will
know how necessary 1t is that the
plan be fully developed before max
ing the actual connections, locating
the outlets, etc. The heavy cable
used to enclose the wires is laid
behind the finishing walls. Much
expense Is saved If the outlets,
plugs, switches are well planned
and so indicated on the blue print
of the house diagram.
Great strides have been made in
artistic and restful lighting of the
home. The preferred method to-
day is what is called the indirect"

used as a central unit and the
bulbs concealed in this bowl. Here
the light is directed against the
ceiling, from which 1t is reflected
back and softly diffused over the
room. Such central unit pro-
vides what we call general" light
ing. In the case where such diff
fused light Is not sufficient it must
be assisted by either side wall
lights in the room or by separate
unit lamps located at special
points as reading table, piano. etc.
Nothing is more out Of taste than
any kind of fixture which exposes
the bulbs to the gaze and also
creates a harmful, distracting light
to the eyes. In many small rooms,
particularly the bedroom. there Is
no need for a central hxture or
drop at all-the effects may be FAR
better secured by side units or
table lamps connected with base
board outlets. Side wall or base
plug fixtures are less expensive
than central units, besides being
more artistic and desirable from
the point Of view of eye-health. All
such outlets should be well studied
and located on the house plan.
From the housekeeper's point OF
view, the wiring should provide for
all outlets which she may need In
connection with utilities. 1t Is no
longer desirable or necessary to
have to attach a washing machine.

electric light socket. The high.
dangling cord is awkward, insight
ly and the danger of removing the
bulb to insert a utility consider
able. Even a two-way socket is
not as good as a twoway plug or
three-way base plug, located in the
Dashboard near the floor. The
housekeeper may desire one OF
these in the living-room Dashboard
so that she can easily attach a
vacuum cleaner.
In the dining-room she can plan.
for a very desirable connection at
the dining table II she locates such
an outlet in the floor in advance.
It is possible to operate toaster,
percolator and table stove all at
the same time and very gracefully
by providing the right floor outlet
in the plan. Another place is to
have a wall outlet in the kitchen.

MODERN novel
Soon FORGOTTEN
Critics Say Best Sellers En-
dure From Three Months
to Two Years
JOB STORY
is EVERLASTING

Popular novels and best sellers en-
dure from three months to one or
two years. according to literary
critics. "The sheik" still is being
read a year and a half after publica-
tion. But there is nothing to indl-
cate that its fate will not be the same
as other works Of its class.
Yet the story Of another sheik
written in the fifth century before
Christ. not only is being read. but
is exerting its influence on modern
life and thought and is placed by
the United States Bureau Of Educa-
tion first on a list OF books for a
reading course in great literature
ancient. medieval and modern.
The story is that of the book OF
Job. of which job. its hero, is pic
tured as an ancient sheik, living to
the eastward of Palestine. on the
borders of the Arabian desert. AL
ready in the time OF Ezekiel, the
name was famous as that of a right
eous man. Two and n half centuries
later the unnamed author Of the
book made the ancient traditional
figure the hero OF his great and en-
during poem.
At least 2.422 years have passed
since the book was written. Mean
while millions OF books have been
written. more or less extensively
read and then have been forgotten.
Literary regulations have been made
and shattered.
Heavy onslaughts have been made
by the critics upon the works OF such
writers as Byron and George Mere
dith-their latest target is Robert
Louis Stevenson-yet few are the
households in which the Book OF job
is not TO be found. And with it the
Bureau Of Education heads its read
ing course list.
Professor Henry Thatcher Fowler,
in the Encyclopedia Americana. calls
the book "the supreme masterpiece
OF ancient Hebrew literature. one OF
the small group Of world poems that
live as universal expressions Of the
human spirit" And. like Jobs
comforters" still is a popular sinile
today and bids fair TO remain so even
after that time foreseen by Macaulay
when "a single naked fisherman shall
wash his nets in the harbor Of the
10000 masts."
