LIGHT
IMPORTANT

In the average laundry, a center
light with supplementary drop
cord over laundry trays and a
convenience outlet for appliances
should be provided.
The center light in the laundry
should be of fairly high wattage
and should be controlled by a
switch at the door. The lamp
should be from rs to $50 watts,
depending on the size of the room
and the height and color of the
walls. In order to eliminate
shadows, there should also be a
drop cord over the laundry trays.
A most convenient location for
the outlet to supply the washing
machine is suspended from the
ceiling about three feet in front
of the trays. In this way the cord
can be attached directly from
above.
The rather heavy-duty appli-
ances adaptable to use in The !dun-
dry require outlets which should
be on separate circuits in order
to supply sufficient capacity. One
should be provided for the iron
ing machine, capable of drawing
at least 1900 watts, and there
should be one provided for a two
burner hotplate for use in boiling
the clothes. Electric clothes
dryers are also coming into use.

STEPSOUTL|NED
IN KITCHEN
PLANNING

In planning any room the first
requisite is to know for what pur-
pose the room is to serve.
So, in the case of the kitchen
we naturally assume that it is to
be used for preparing and cooking
food. There are exactly five op-
erations that take place in the
kitchen in connection with cook
ing foods and to have a kitchen
which is efficiently planned and
conveniently arranged each OF
these operations must be con-
Sidered step by step.
Storage Unit
The first unit or step is the
storage unit 1t is here that foods
are received from market. In con-
sidering the food storage unit
there must be a place to store
perishableS. The electric re-
frigerator takes care of this need.
Then, there must be place for
fruits which are not stored in the
refrigerator. For that purpose a
bin or ventilated box is provided.
Shelves or cabinets are used
for storing the staple dry supplies
and canned goods. In planning
this unit there should be included
a table or wide shelf for receiving
these incoming supplies. and this,
by all means, should be placed
near the back entrance of the
house. Above that space, cabinets
or shelves may be built.
This table used for receiving
supplies has many other uses. 1t
makes an ideal place for making
salads and desserts, since it is
near the refrigerator. The food
grinder, crater, knife sharpener,
and the electric mixer may be at
tached to it.
The next unit is that for
actually preparing the fool. Nat
urally this unit would need to be
close to the storage unit. 1t should
consist of suitable working area
and a place for the various pieces
OF equipment needed in mixing,
etc. In this unit We would in
Clude all those utensils needed
in making cakes, pies, pudding,
and they should all be arranged
so that each is within easy reach.
Serving Of Food
Naturally the cooking unit
would be the third step in plan
ming the kitchen. In this unit
we would include the. electric
range, a suitable area for foods
when they come from the oven
or top stove, and storage space
for pots and pans. The range
should occupy the center of this
space, the cabinet or shelves for
cooking utensils at the left, and
the table or cabinet top on which
hot foods may be placed should
be at the right of the range.
After the cooking of the food
comes the serving. This unit
should consist of sufficient table
or shelf space where finished
salads and desserts may be placed
until time for serving. This is a
good place to keep the bread and
cake box with bread board and
knife, also a convenient place for
outlets where small electrical ap-
planes may be used such as
toaster, percolator, and waffle
iron. Above this table or shelf
space there would be shelves for
some of the serving dishes.
The last unit to be considered
is the clearing-away of cleaning
unit. This includes the combina-
ton dishwasher sink with suf.

ficient space at the left of the
dishwasher for scraping and stack
ing dishes. The garbage can
should be close to this unit and
may even be fastened to the in
side of the cupboard door below
this sink.
There should be drawer space
in the cabinet nearest the sink for
dish cloths and tea towels. At
the left of the dishwasher is a
cabinet with shelves for china.
On the right of the sink may be a
similar cabinet may be used for
storing cleansing agents.

Declares Women
More Interested
In World Events

NEW YORK, April 81. UR)-If
newspaper publishers today acted
upon Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt IS
suggestions The woman's pages
would spurn cakes and clothes and
even children to grapple with
world problems as they affect hu-
man beings and the home.
The President IS wife last night
told publishers and advertising men
that the depression has showed
home walls outward until the av-
erage Woman's sphere today en-
braces the whole world.
Woman's IS primary interest is still
the home, Mrs. Roosevelt said, in
addressing a dinner of the bureau
of advertising of the American
Newspaper Publishers association.
But she added that modern wom-
en- have discovered that world af-
fairs are home problems because
they affect home life.
She said women probably read
the newspapers with more vital
interest as it is a newer interest de-
void of mems traditional view
point They don't care about
cakes and pies "since they know
about such things already they
want social problem news from the
human angle, she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt declared that most
of the thousands of letters she has
received at the White House from
women are about home owners
loans, farm loans, old-age pensions,
the tariff, foreign trade, war, la
Dor problems, economic conditions.
Other speakers at the ANPA con-
vention closing session were Mayor
