to administer the newly passed farm

that $4,000 farmers who borrowed

PORTABLE LAMPS
. STUDY COMPLETED
Attempt to Show Relation.
ship of Better Lighting
to -Eyesight.

In an effort to show the relationship
OF better lighting to the human eye
sight, the Lighting Committee of the
Electric League Of Washington has just
completed o study Of the use Of port
able lamps in the home. Portable lamps
include table, bridge and floor lamps.
which. according to Norman H. Barnes
secretary of the league, now are doing
a ajor share Of the job OF lighting
Washington homes.
Portable lamps have to measure up
to several important requirements to
thoroughly serve their purpose" says
Barnes. They should be useful, beau
tiful, spread comfort, warmth and hap
piness. and, above all, help their users
to see clearly the things they want to
do. be 1t work, play, reading or study
ing"
Advantages Shown.
Artificial light, as provided by port
made to light painting or q reproduc-
actly the desired manner. 1t can be
made to emphasize q cozy corner OF any
room which otherwise might be dull and
uninviting.
In the selection Of any portable lamp.
the league says, the thing to keep up
permost in mind is that the lamps
function Is two-fold-first. 1t must give
adequate illumination, to avoid causing
eye strain, and secondly. it must be
beautiful It is possible that limited
number of lamps will be desirable for
decoration or ornamentation. Such
lamps should be selected with that idea
in mind and with the realization that
they are not expected to provide any OF
the lighting required for utilitarian pur-
poses.
Various Types.
There are various types and kinds OF
portable lamps available. They are
wired for one, two and three bulbs.
Every practical portable lamp shade
should be so designed as to prevent the
bare bulb from coming within the line
Of vision. In lamps providing for only
one bulb the wattage Of the bulb should
be sufficiently high for the lamp to
produce adequate light without causing
straining Of the eyes. The conventional
type of portable lamp provides for d.
rect lighting, with some spill OF light
to the walls and ceiling. There are
many indirect lighting portables now
available, however, and these are meet
ing with much public favor. Some pro-
vide both direct and indirect light.
Such lamps should be so designed as to
have a large spread Of light on the cell
ing. Otherwise there Is too much waste.
Indirect light Is soft and has no glar-
ing effects 1t will not cause eye strain.
but in using it see that 1t is provided
by light sources which are properly de-
signed.

CHARGES HOME LOAN
AIMS JEOPARDIZED
Building Associations Demand Cash
for Differences, Says Maryland
Administrator.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. November 25.-The
purpose for which the Home Owners
Lean Corporation was created is being
jeopardized by the actions of some
building associations, violating the
whole spirit of the act, according to
David Stiefel, Maryland administrator
for the corporation
Some of these associations" said
Tor the le Home oWneTs ioan bonds nssaSua Sul
in doing SO they require the owner o1
the house on which the mortgage i
placed to pay in cash the difference
between the face value of the bonds
and the price at which they may have
sold on the market. When they cannot
get cash they will require the home
owner to sign second mortgage for
the difference between face value and
market price of bonds.
That violates the whole spirit oi
the work of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, which was designed to re-
lieve the pressure of the mortgage on
the home owner. 1t places this extra
debt ON him. 1t puts the building as
sociation in the position of making
money il the bonds later appreciate on
the market, and making it at the ex-
pense of the home owner.
The holder of such a second mort
gage may force a foreclosure sale, sub
ject, of course, to the payment of the
mortgage which we hold.
The practice tends to defeat the
whole purpose of the act, and we will
not put a transaction through when We
know that such a deal with building
association is involved That, of course,
is hardship on the home owner"

u. S. HELD LAGGING
IN HOUSING PROBLEM
Magazine Writer Says American
Workman Lacks Convenient
and Modern Homes.

American society has long stood in
dicted for its failure to solve the prob
lem of housing, writes Edith Elmer
Wood in the November Current History.
Though the upper middle class does
not want for comfortable, convenient
and modern homes. the remainder of
the populat ton is not SO fortunate Fun
damentalIy, though other factors are
present. the problem is one in economics
which arises from the gap that exists
between the cost of modern housing and
the income of the mass of the Ameri-
can people.
THE American workers standard Of
living. compared with Working-class
standards in other countries, has been
regarded as exceptionally high. In
terms of money wages and food, cloth
ing. secondhand Fords. radios and
other near luxuries which his wages
would buy. this has been true. Re-
Gently. however, it is beginning to be
understood that public housing projects
and the protection of social insurance
afforded in many European countries
tend to outweigh the apparent advan-
tages enjoyed by Americans. Certainly
in the matter Of housing the American
worker is worse off than many of his
European brethren. Perhaps 10000 900
homes in America. if judged by stand
ards Of decency, should be scrapped.
But remedies are not easy to find. nor
do they fit into the American tradition
of individualism."
