quate and Poorly Placed,
Committee Finds.

Recommendations on the most eff
cient sizes and shapes for the kitchen
and on the sizes and shapes and place
ment OF the kitchen equipment will be
made to the Presidents Conference on
Home Building and Home Ownership
when 1t meets, December 2 to S, by the
committee on Kitchens and Other Work
Centers. The recommendations are
based on series of studies of rural and
urban kitchens and are aimed partic-
ularly to be Of service to families with
incomes ranging from $500 to $4,000.
The studies of the committee show
the average American kitchen Is de-
fective in three respects: 1t is usually
too large, its equipment is inadequate
ana poorly placed. Such condition, the
committee reports, make it impossible
to chart and organize the kitchen work
In order to save the time and energy OF
the worker. They were found to be true
OF rural kitchens and of kitchens In
some Of the newer apartment buildings
in New York, New Jersey and Chicago
especially designed for housing families
OF moderately low income level.
Actual Activities Studied.
Studies Of the actual activities car
ried on in the kitchens of 140 Chicago
families were made in order to de-
termine the minimum amount of equip
ment essential. Inadequate equipment
does not always mean insufficient equip
ment, the committee finds: many town
kitchens are overeQuipped. The kitchens
OF rural homes, however, often lack the
most elemental aids to domestic work.
The report Of a 1881 study of farm
homes in ID States quoted by the COM
mittee shows that half of those studied
lacked sinks. Another investigation re-
vealed that over 80 per cent of the farm
women In one State have to carry
water.
So far as improving the size and
shape of and placing an equipment in
the kitchen are concerned, the report
states that sit is the architects and
builders who must be converted, not the
housewives" Preliminary studies in
large cities showed that frequently the

NEW YORK. July % 0.N.SN.
Factors stressed in bulush quar-.
ters as likely to influence higher
stock prices within the next
month or two are:
International efforts in dealing
with economic depression.
Measures to aid railroads in
rate increases.
Commodity StabilizatiOn.
Approach of the cuStomarily
higher period of industrial pro.
ductiOn.
Poor Farm Supply Outlook
There is little in the near term
outlook to warrant accumulation
of farm equipment shares at the
present time, declares Standard
Statistics after a careful survey
of the situation in the agricultural
field.
It points out that steady de.
clines in farm commodity prices
during recent weeks have given
rise to increasingly unsatisfactory
credit conditions in rural areas.
Leading producers of agricul-
tural machinery have extended
sizeable credits to farmers whose
ability to meet large payments
that come due this summer and
fall is now open to question.
This will very likely exert an
adverse effect upon earnings and
financial positions of companies
whose fortunes are closely inter.
twined with conditions in the
agricultural industry.
Hard Picking Seen
Brokerage quarters. usually ia
voring the constructive side of
prices, hold to the belief that
it is somewhat difficult for
spectators, who would like to be
bullish, to locate worthy me-
diumS.
For example, it is shown that
there is little to recommend the
old pivotal stock leaders when
there is a touch of unrealiSm as
between earnings and price, and
earnings and dividends.
AS an illustration, Westing-
house Electric, with deficit of
81 cents before dividends for the
first six months, is hardly cor
relating its price thereto, nor is

Domestic consumption of food

industry. according to a survey by
the Standard Statistics Company
of New York, which continues in
part:
"A moderate loss Of volume
will be experienced in many
food lines, because Of the OBJ
viOus shift of numerous con-
Sumers to cheaper brands and
