LESSON NO.l
LIGHTING THE LAUNDRY

Neither washing clothes nor
ironing them is the easiest kind Of
work. Even when an electric
washing machine and an electric
ironing machine are used, the
weekly wash day is q busy one.
There are little spots Of dirt to
be washed away-sometimes we
have to look twice to be sure that
the clothes are quite clean; there
are wrinkles and plaits to be ironed
carefully. So we need light that
will make it easier for us to see
what We are doing; lighting that
viii let Us see at glance whether
the clothes are clean and whether
the iron has smoothed out all of
the wrinkles.
Many homes have q separate
room, sometimes in one corner of
the basement, where the washing
and ironing are done. In other
homes the laundry tubs are found
in the kitchen and the same room
is used both for cooking and for
laundry work.
Where the laundry tubs are put
in the kitchen, the lighting equip
ment in Lesson No. 8 will be sat-
isfactory, unless the room is a
large one. In this case it may be
necessary to add q bracket fixture
on the wall behind the tubs, with
q J0-watt white bulb or 75-watt
daylight or blue bulb. This bulb
should be covered with deep, open
bottom, milk-white glass shade.
The daylight or blue glass bulb
will make it easier to see scorches.
When the laundry tubs are in q
separate room, we need a light
close up at the ceiling and over
the tubs. It should have a 150-

watt clear bulb with q metal re-

Even with the restraining effect OF

Despite waiting attitude in many
quarters with the determent Of num-
erous commitments. the main trend
has been toward moderate expansion
and the rise OF commodity prices has
continued. The irrcgularity OF the
commercial movement is stiIl marked
and there Is much conservatism but
new gains have come in some basic
lines. and freight car Ioadiugs have
recently been WITHOUT precedent. Al
though some buyers of steel are hold

to the development of a service plan
that could be applied with equal

A similar light is needed for the
fruit closet, and perhaps for the
coal bin.
The stairway to the basement
must be lighted by a separate
light, unless one Of the other
lights is very close to it The light
that is used for this purpose
should be installed so that it may
be turned on and off from the top
of the stairs "a order that we may
see our way down at night.
LIGHTING THE WORKBENCH
Perhaps father or brother has 4
workbench in the basement where
he builds radio sets or takes the
smaller parts of the auto to put
them in good condition.
This workbench needs two lights
over it, one at each end. If only
one light is used, the shadows that
it will make are very annoying II
two lights are used, each one lights
up the shadows made by the other
one.
You know when you have a Ia
BILE lamp with only one bulb in it
lighted, and all of the other lights
in the room are turned out, that
if you start to make lines with n
ruler, the ruler sometimes makes
shadow Just where you are try
ing to put the line. But if you
turn on the other lights in tho
room, this shadow fades out and
you can see nicely.
That is why we need two lights
at the ceiling over q workbench,
and why one of them should be
over the center Of one end Of the
bench and one over the other end
of the bench and about six inches
in front of it.
