QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS

ELECTRICAL EDITOR: You
have described on the electrical
page the master switch" located
in the bedroom. from which lights
an over the house may be con-
trollsd, for protection against
burglars. Will you please tell me
whether this IL an expensive fea-
turs to INSTALL? p. r.
The cost Of wiring for the master
switch depends entirely upon the
size Of the house and the number
Of rooms and lights. A good plan
ID to have only one light In each
room connected on the master
circuit. for that gives sufficient pro
lection, and does not complicate the
wiring so much.
The master switch control Of the
lights is worth q great deal to the
home a. burglar insurance. for light
is the best policeman one can have
When the master switch 10 on, the
lights cannot be turned off at any
other point in the house. ThB prem
ises are flooded with light, and any
prowier is Immediately frightened
