MODERN LIGHTS

Inverted Domes Suspended

Gives Satisfaction.

As interest centers around the ia.

diners, and softened general illumi.

of the room.
would give light in just such distri.
button. lighting engineers have gone
back to the idea Of a dining room
dome"-not the cumbersome and in
efficient dome of old, but neverthe-
less a dome fixture. The modern
ones are inverted and are suspended
about two feet above the table. This
isJhigh enough to leave an unimpeded
view across the table. but low enough
SO that the diner does not get a
direct glance at the bars, glaring
lamps. With a fixture like this. the
area of the downward light should
be just a little larger than that of the
dining room table. In addition, the
satisfactory lighting fixture has aux.
iliary lights in some such form as
candlesticks with shades to furnish
soft general illumination for the
whole room.
" Good lighting for this room may
also be obtained from shower fixtures
with long. dense glass shades. Pref
erahly, these shades should be more
nearly cylindrical than bell-shaped.
II center fixtures of the candelabra
type are used in dining rooms. they
should be equipped with glass, silk,
or parchment shades. either for the
unit as a whole or for each individ'
ual lamp. This Is one means Of di'
recting more of the light down to the
table surface.
Shaded electric candlesticks for the
buffet or table lend a pleasing deco
rative touch, as do wall brackets sim
,tlarly softened, but at best these fix
lures are only auxiliary and must
not be depended upon to light the
Whole dining room satisfactorily.

COST OF LIGHT DROPS
WITH BIG IMPROVEMENT

In 1855 the average householder
had recourse to sperm oil and candles
to dissipate the after.twilight gloom.
His unsatisfactory illumination cost
about s22 a year. For the next ten
years people used kerosene and re-
ceived so per cent. more light for
their $22. In 1875 gas was intro
duced at a cost Of $50 a year.
Today, by grace Of electricity, the
modern family enjoys eighteen times
as much light as the candle users
had. and at even less of an expendt'
ture. The average households elec.
trio light bill now is estimated at
$50 per year.

DO It Electrically"
By CLARE r.. TISDALE,
H,rIsv.Wri~ht RuiIdin1

Say it with flowers" Is surely
a beautiful way OF expressing ones
thoughts of another and the re-
cipient of flowers Is always made
happy,
DO 1t electrically" is another
slogan which is more and more
coming into vogue. Electricity and
electrical devices have revolution
ICED the world. Think of the chaos
into which this world would be
plunged II the electrical power
were cut off for a single day. It
would cripple industry and all Of
our electrical servants would go on
a strike.
In these days Of high cost Of
labor and fuel, we naturally turn
to other resources. Many a young
woman hesitates to marry because
the man of her choice Is not able
to provide a servant. This obstacle
to marriage, however, is fast fading
into oblivion with the advent Of
hundreds of electrical devices for
the saving Of labor, fuel and en-
ergy.
The servant problem need no
longer De q perplexlnB one lnlnh
of preparing ones breakfast en-
tirely by electricity with the help
Of the electric grill. coffee perco-
lator, toaster and hot plate, at such
a small cost for fuel.
After breakfast the housewife
will need only a few minutes to
wash her dishes with the aid Of the
electric dishwasher.
With the use of the electric
sweeper and its many attachments
the house is soon put in order and
there is plenty of time left to spend
a happy morning out Of doors.
After dinner, which may be pre-.
pared in an electric range with
automatic control. thus doing away
with constant watching, q delight.
full evening may be planned to en-.
tertain guests with the new elec-
trical reproducing piano, or by
turning an electric switch attached
to a wireless instrument, a wonder.
full air-o-phone concert may be en-
joyed by all.
All hail the electrical age!

gaw presents have been consigned

ELECTRIC FANS ARE
RUN ECONOMICALLY
Electrical Editor: What does Il
cost to operate an electric fan?

cost to operate an electric FAM
G. 3. M.
II is usual to estimate that an
electric fan will operate $500 hours
each year, and on that basis the
operating cost Of a twelve-incif size
oscillating fan will be between SO
and IS annually. There is a wide
difference in the efficiency OF fans,
which accounts for this difference in
operating costs.
II you are purchasing a number OF
fans for store or large office Il will
pay to investigate carefully, as the
difference in the design and quality
Of the fan may make a difference OF
$40 or more in the cost OF operation
during the useful life of the appli
ance.

High Waters
Disrupt Train
Service Today

Walla, Walla, Wash, Feb. IL
High water in small streams
usually quiet and docile have
caused the railroad officials in
this city, Pendleton and Pasco
considerable annoyance and much
inconvenience to the travelling
public as there was no train to
Pendleton over the O-W. r. & N.
Friday and the morning train
from Pendleton did not make the
trip over the usual route, but was
made up at Umatilla and arrived
slightly late.
All the trouble was caused by
two washouts near SAKE where the
embankment was carried away
and this will have to be cribbed,
c. F. Van De Water, general
freight and passenger agent of the
line, announced this morning. 1t
was expected that 1t would be
completed and the afternoon trip
from Spokane was expected to get
through.
The morning train from Pasco
arrived over the Northern Pacific
this morning, S. ]. Miller, general
freight and general passenger
agent of the line, said. The regu-
lar morning freight train to that
place was also annuled. The trou-
BILE was caused by several streams
usually dry, going on the rampage
and causing washouts Of the en-
bankment near Eureka. The train
due here early in the morning
started from Pasco but was forced
to return. 1t was announced that
the 3:20 p. m. train would prob
ably get through and passengers
due to arrive early in the morning
will be brought through on that
train.
According to reports from the
hills, the waters began receding
about 8 a. m. today and danger
from further washouts is believed
to be past.

Ed Schunke, the third membel

declared himself in favor of tn

who approves the "appointiye'

man, endorses the movement

Car Expense Heavy.
Action of the ordinance com
mittee in introducing the new bill
recalls a rather heated challenge
flung at the police committee a
the last council meeting py Alder
man Vandevort, who contendet
that the expenses Of the newly
purchased police car We're far II
excess Of what they should be.
''I want to hear from the police
committee" Mr.. Vandervort de
manded. II thought we bough
this police car with a view to saw
ing the city money. Now I fine
that it has covered 1900 miles a
an expense Of no less than si1
cents mile. We used to kicl
when our taxi bill was $50. We
we are now faced by bill ap

The answer Of Mr.. Thompson
chairman of the police committee
was rather cryptic.

''I think we know, at least, wha
