Kitchen Planning

What are the essentials of kitch-
en- planning?
A perfect kitchen is rarely at
tanned There are too many ideals
to be sought and too many re-
stricing conditions to- be met.
There are many things to be
taken into consideration when OBJ
tanning funds for the moderniza-
tion of a kitchen.
First the kitchen must be con-
sidered primarily as a worshop
and everything planned with that
in mind. The light, both natural
and artificial, should be in such
relation to the principal work
areas-the range and the sink
that they shall at all times be
Well lighted. To be efficient, a
kitchen must be small, yet must
have room to contain several
large fixtures, all of which must
be against the wall; and, in addi-
tion, allowance must be made for
at least two doors-one to- the din
ing room and one to the service
entrance, and sometimes an addi-
and one or more to the cellar as
and one or more to the cellar as
we'll space needed is quite formi-
dable, so it is little wonder that
the ideal cannot be attained in
SO small a space.
In general, the arrangement Of
the various elements should be
such that the sequence of opera
tions in preparing the meals will
be natural and easy and will end
near the dining room door. The
clearing-up process should start
with the sink and end at the china

cabinet. Pots and pans should be
stored in cupbOardS or hung on
hooks near the range The fix
lures should be arranged so that
there is not a lot of running back
and forth from one to the other
If the kitchen is rectangular in
shape, this can be more easily aC-
complished than if it is square.
AS far as possible everything
needed should be within easy reach
of the worker; extremely high
shelves are practically useless and
cupboards close to the floor cause
unnecessary strain and fatigue.
The custom of putting the VIM
dow directly over the sink has dis
advantages as well as advantages.
1t lends itself to symmetrical ef-
fects, but it places the worker with
the glare directly in her eyes, and
it causes the sill to be at least 4
feet above the floor line, which
places the WOndoW too high for
the worker to see out of when she
is seated and is apt to spoil the
dIClllCeCIuIdl e1ltCJ Ol JIle ehJeilOf.
A low sill with a workable in
front of it makes a pleasant place
to prepare the vegetables and 9TH
er dishes.
Food-storage closets are obsolete
except in some rural communities,
as it is not necessary nowadays
to buy things in quantities and
store them, which was the original
purpose of such closets.
For any such home improve
ments funds are usually obtain
able from banks holding contracts
of insurance with the Federal
Housing Administration.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-16
Laundry Room

The laundry room may be made
as pleasant as a sitting room or
play room; or, if it is above the
ground and adjacent to the kitch-
en-, it may be made to serve as a
breakfast room or children's din
ing room. Have a frame made to
fit over the tubs and cover it with
a bright chintz with deep val
ance around the edge SO that it
will hang down to within a few
inches of the floor. This frame
can be light enough Sc that one
person can easily handle it. Shelv-
es for soap and clothes pins and
other odds and ends can be paint
ed inb right colors and made as
attractive as china closet. Add
few pieces of appropriate furnl-
ture and, except on Mondays, you
have another room in the house.

NEW IDEAS
In CLOSETS
FOR CLOTHES

Little imagination has been used
in designing clothes closets. In these
days of high building costs when
every foot, every inch, should be
made to serve a useful purpose,
clothes closets have gone their old
fashioned ways with scarcely
thought to their improvement. The
phrase fine, big closets" is still
heard as a term of praise by house
owners or house seekers, when actu-
ally a fine, big closet is usually
most eXtravagant waste OF space.
The home owner who obtains
modernization funds from any
private financial institution which
holds a contract of insurance With
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton should acquaint himself with
the important facts of closet plan
ming.
If the actual use of the space of
such a closet is analyzed, the dis
covery will be made that only the
spaces occupied by the clothes rod,
the shelves above and at the sides,
and possibly the shoe racks on the
door are really of any value. The
part of the closet that is open
where the user walks about is just
so much floor space and nothing
else.
A closet four feet wide and four
feet deep, for example, would an
sWer the description of fine, big
closet. The door would take two
and a half feet from one side, leay-
ing one and a half feet of that wall
for use. If the door is centered,
| that means nine inches on each side
of the door. If a clothes pole is
placed across the back that, with
the clothes hangers, will extend
two feet from the rear wall. This
leaves two spaces, one on each side
of the door, nine inches wide by two
feet deep. Either shelves can be
put in these spaces or hooks can
be placed in the wall.
If this closet were half as deep,
the same amount of hanging space
would be available, SO there is no
loss there. Then if the clothes rod
we're placed close to the ceiling and
long-handled hangers used. the low
er part of the closet can be used
for a chest of three or four drawers
1t can be built in with counter
shelf at the top of this chest Thus
with double doors the whole space
is used and as much accommo'
ton for clothes provided as in the
larger closet, and only half the
space is occupied.

DEFECTIVE
FLUES CAUSE
MANY FIRES

Nest fires are caused by over
heated or improperly built flues,
defective electric wiring careless
ness in the use of matchs and
cigarettes, or spontaneous combus-
ton.
The owner or tenant can control
the first cause by not allowing the
furnace fire to stay too hot for a
long period. He can also have the
flue cleaned and examined.
The second cause is beyond his
control, except insofar as the wiz
ing of lamps and ether accessories
are concerned. He should watch
the cords and see that they are in
good condition.
The third cause is distinctly
comfortable, and ordinary care in
keeping fire away from flimsy
curtains, in not throwing matches
into waste baskets, in seeing that
cigarettes are put out, in keeping
matches-even safety matches in
a proper place, will prevent such
fires as are caused by the usual
careleSSneSS.
The last is caused usually by
quite excusable ignorance. Oily
rags or rags that have been used
in painting; bundles of newspapers
stored away in closets where no
ventilation can reach them; oily
mops or dust cloths shut up IN
tiny broom closets, all these and
a dozen other materials may pro-
duce spontaneous combustion.
The only safe rule is to allow
no combustible materials to accu~
mulate and to keep all household
cleaning utensils and materials in
well-ventilated pace. A modern
ization can obtained from a pri-
vate financial institution and in
sured by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration may be used to pro-
vide a safe storing space in your
home.

HERE ARE HINTS ON
COMFORTABLE HOMES

Chimneys that are persistent
"leakers" cause a great deal of
damage, and the cure is often hard
to- find. If the flashing is in good
shape and you are sure it does
not come from a weakness there,
and if all the exposed joints have
been examined and questionable
ones raked out and repointed, and
still it leaks, the chances are that
the water enters at the top and
percolates down through the un-
exposed joints. To cure this, place
a sheet-metal hood formed like an
inverted U over the top of the
chimney, leaving both ends open.
1t has cured many a chimney,
so the chances are it will cure
yours.

If concrete or stone is to- be
used in building the hearth of a
fireplace, it is well to make the
hearth in two pieces: a back hearth
where the fire actually is, and a
front hearth. The reason for this
is that intense heat of the fire is
apt to crack a solid piece. If the
crack will stop at the joint be-
tween the front and back hearths
and little damage is done. Oi
course, it would be well to examine
the cracked hearth to be sure
there is no possibility of sparks
getting through the crack to some
combustible material.

mite need for at least 100000
homes, Wagner believes.
What form Of national aid will
be extended in development of
new resident facilities is the ques-
tion that must solved. There are
many plans, chief Of which are:
1-Extension of federal grants
by billion dollars or more. Wag-
ner is asking a billion.
2-LoW-cost capital through ex-
tensions Of the HOLC and FHA
principles of moderate loans. This
would "pry loose" much dormant
private capital, sponsors believe.
Supreme court blows at federal
activities not especially provided
for the national government and
therefore reserved to the states,
are feared by those trying to eX-
tend the government farther into
the field of housing.
In view of the decision crushing
the AAA, many feel the court will
hold that federal tax receipts cam
not be devoted to such purposes.
An indication of the courts atti-
tude is expected in a position on
the $500 100000 slum clearance pro-
gram under the public works ad-
ninistration.
The federal court at Louisville
ordered a halt to federal condem-
nation of slums for low-cost hous-
ing projects. Mere refusal of the
right to condemn would not neces-
sarily halt the slum program, Off
Gals believe, but they feel that if
the lower court ruling is sustained
it would greatly hamper it.

CupbOards

In building a chimney there is
usually some unused space left at
the side above the line of the fire
place. More often than not this
space is just boxed in and plas-
tered over and lost. Our ancestors,
more frugal folk than we, put
cubboards in these spaces and
used them for storing any number
of things. Sometimes we do the
same now, but there is many a
chimney breast that hides a po-
tential bookcase Or storage cup
board, and the home owner is ig-
norant Cf his loss.
