LESSON NO9
LIGHTING THE HALLS
AND STAIRS

For outdoor fixtures a 50-watt
bulb will usually be large enough.
However, if a large space is to be
lighted, as much as 100 watts may
be needed.
PROPER WIRING
Hidden in the walls Of a hons
are the wires that permit US to en-
Joy the comforts of electric service.
They are out of sight and we never
think about them, but they are very
important for they may limit our
ability to use electricity for light
ing and for appliances conve-
niently.
Every year we add something to
the electric equipment in the home.
Perhaps this year it is a new table
lamp, last year it may have been
a wash machine or n toaster, next
year it may be a fan or n curling
iron. Five years ago when the
house was wired, we did not plan
for these new things, and now We
remove lamp bulb to connect ono
of them, thus depriving ourselves
Of needed light and spelling tho
appearance of the room by the UNI
slightly cord which bangles from
the socket.
The wiring in most homes can
be made to give greater service to-
day by the addition of convenience
outlets Casually the duplex type,
which permits two things to be
connected to one outlet). In gen.
eral, we need one of these for each
fifty square feet of floor in tho
room. These may be placed in the
wall near the floor or at a height
Of three or four feet above the
floor to save bending over when We
connect an appliance. Another
feature Of the properly wired
home is a wall switch to control
each of the principal lighting fix
lures.
AS q protection against accident,
the main switch, which controls
all the lights in the house, and the
fuses should be in a modern metal
box so designed that there can be
no possibility Of an electric shock.
Every householder is interested
in these devices for comfort and
convenience in the use of electric
service, but he Should not attempt
to make changes in the wiring Of
the house without the services OF
a competent electrician who under
stands the precautions which must
be taken for safety. There are
specific rules in every city designed
for the protection Of the public
and all changes in wiring must be
made according to these rules.
