U. S. Homes Expend But
Little for Electricity

Government cost statistics
show that while l3 to Is per
cent of the total money spent
for building small homes is
spent on plumbing, only I TO 3
per cent is allowed for cleo
triCity!
Why this discrepancy? Is not
our electrical equipment as
valuable to us in the home as
our plumbing?
Electricity sweeps and lights
the house, washes and irons the
clothes. illuminates, cooks, regu-
lates the furnace, washes the
dishes. and performs half IA
dozen other services for our
personal comfort.
In view of this astounding
usefulness, is running water
any more essential in the home
than electrical power?

No. The insulation Of an electric
