MOST HOMES BADLY
!. LIGHTED IS REPORT

By International Labor News Service
NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 26.-Most
of the nations homes are badly light
ed, it is asserted by the Eyesight
Conservation Council of America in
a report disclosing conditions in
school, household and workshop, and
asserting that mans efforts to do
the work of the. sun are intimately
bound up with the problem Of hui
man happiness.
The kitchen is regarded by con-
servationists as a prolific source of
vision defects because it has too Of
ten been neglected in home lighting
plans,
Zone reason for the prevalent bad
Lighting" according to the council
lis that in a great many homes the
lighting equipment has not been
changed to keep pace. with the rapid
development in the art of lighting.
"A great many of these old resi-
dences are rented and the occupants
are reluctant to make improvements
at their own expense, even though
they recognize the inadequacy of the
faulty illumination.
Zone of the most common evils
found in home lighting is the bare
lamp. It is usually so low as to be-
directly in the line of vision, causing
eyestrain, at the same time providing
poor illumination. There are specially
designed fixtures for correcting not
only this condition but also the many
other Objectionable features of old
style equipment.
Where the present installation
does not provide sufficient light, port
able lamps in great variety are
available and can be used advantage
ously. Floor lamps, table lamps and
small ornamental lamps in addition
to augmenting the lighting are ap-
preciated BY the householder because
Of their iiexibility and decorative
value. n.
Although the essential require
ment Of lighting in the home is the
elimination of eyestrain, the decor
alive possibilities should not be over
looked. The most pleasing and com
Portable effect Is produced by skill
fully combining utility and ornamen-
tation.
Artistic shades and colored lights
are mediums of expressing individ-
uality in furnishing our homes. How
ever, great care should be taken in
the use Of colored lights, in order
not to defeat their real purpose.
Colored lamps and dimly shaded
lamps are not intended for reading
and close work, for eyestrain is
caused by improper and insufficient
light"

err than that for 1928, the actual
quantity of goods produced was much
greater in the latter year. Thus it
may be said that the 1923 production
was the greatest shown by the CEN
sus records.
Industry was very active at the be-
ginning of 1924 and at the ned. but
it slackened in mid year so that the
is that the value of prod
ucts in 1924 was slightly less than
in 1928. At its present pace, indus
try for 1925 gain will smash all
previous records and top 1919 both
in quantity and aggregate value of
output.
Since 1924 the value of factory out
put has more than doubled and since
1909 it has virtually tripled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. &c.
The United States Census Bureau has
completed the study undertaken of
the manufacturing business of the
United States as of the year of 1923.
The size of the survey made impos-
sible the announcement of final totals
until this time.
The survey showed that for the
year 1928 the value of the products
turned out by American factories was
about sixty and one-half billion dol
lars. This is far in advance of the
total found for 1921, which was a
slack year. It is slightly less than
the year 1919, but in that year all
values were inflated. While the val
ue given for 1919 production is great

KENTON CANNERY VISITED BY
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON MONDAY
WAREHOUSE FILLED WITH 10000
CASES ARE MOSTLY BURNED
Factory, as Well as Part of Town Of
kentOn, Saved by Splendid Work
of Smyrna and Clayton Firemen

kentOn, Saved by Splendid Work
OF Smyrna and Clayton Firemen
KentOn, Sept. 29.-Fire of myster-
lous origin broke out about l o'clock
Monday morning in the warehouse at
the plant of the KentOn Canning Com
pany, one of the largest industries of
the kind in this community, and be-
fore the flames had been subdued.
most of the metal building was burned
and the contents, practically the en-
tire pack of the season, was DESTROY
ed. The loss is estimated by the own
ers to be close to $4,000, mostly COW
cred by insurance. Representative H..
w. Hilyard, a member of the House
in the last Legislature, and L. Bigger
are the owners of the plant. Mr.. Hill
yard was the Democratic floor leader
during the Tooth session of the Cen
eral Assembly and made a host of
friends during the time he spent in
Dover. The store house was a two
story structure, the first floor being
Of concrete and the second story and
roof being of corrugated iron sheet
ing. In it had been placed about 49,
600 cases of corn and about $4,000
cases of tomatoes besides a lot of
empty cans and boxes. Most of these
were destroyed. Fortunately the fac
tory, frame structure was saved and
work was able to go on unhampered.
Had it not been for the quick and eff
fecti0a work of the Smyrna and Clay
ton fire companies the factory and
other buildings, if not portion of the
town of Kenton would have been in
ashes. By hooking up a hose line
with a branch stream one quarter of
mile away, the Smyrna fire engine
furnished the draft and the Clayton
fire engine relayed it to the burning
structure, and the fire was kept
confined to the one building. The fire
originated on the inside but from
what cause has not been determined.
Whether the outbreak was the work
of fire bug is one thing the owners
are now trying to determine, although
they cannot conceive of any reason
why anyone would want to deliberate
ly set fire to the place. When the fire
was discovered by people in the vicin-
ity it har gained much headwav. Calls
for help were sent to Smyrna and to
Clayton and the fire companies of
both towns responded. They worked
until after o'clock that morning
fighting the flames. The fremen did
good work in saving the canning plant
proper and other nearby buildings.
About 5000 cases of goods on the out
side of the store house were saved.
