LIGHTING UNITS
 NEARLY PERFECT
Modern Designs Made in Waterbury ''Kind to
 the Eye" Type

The lighting units in the Con- necticut Light G Power Co.'s en- larged business offices are the first of their kind. They were developed jointly by The Cecil K. White Com pany of New Haven and Ray Mills Illuminating engineer of the light ing company.
 They come very close to delivering perfect illumination, light of the right quality in the proper amount and free from glare, the kind of lighting that is "kind" to the eyes.
 The comments of office workers who are privileged to work under these favorable light conditions irl- dicates that there should be Q gen. eral demand for them because of their qualities.
 The units are described as chaste in design and pleasing to the eye.

Tommy tired of his homework almost before he had begun. His school marks reflected his apparent lack of interest in home study. Mother worried. Was he sick7 When Mother got the real answer it was dnbelievably simple. Miss Reilly, one of the Connecticut Light 6s Power Co.'S home lighting representatives, put her finger on the trouble. The lighting in his study room was straining his eyes. She prescribed Q certain kind of lamp to correct the condition. Tommy, normal boy with keen young mind, has picked up his studies. His report card shows 1t.
 Objects of Service
 Naturally not all the visits to cuS- toner's homes made by home Aglnt+ ing representatives produce such obvious results, nor are they always along this line. The object of this advisory service is threefold:
 1. To help the fofne-nakef achieve the most harmonious and decorative effect from the portable lamps and lighting fixtures in her home.
 ?. To help the customer get the most light that is of really service ablbe value from every penny she spends for electric service.
 3. To extend the use of those types of lamps and fixtures which preserve vision. This means tho right lighting unit for each purpose in the home.
 As @ result of their efforts, many homes in the Waterbury area have acquired @ new concept of lighting. Eye comfort and harmony with ape pointments of the rooms now come in for attention.

lively new, having been introduced to Waterbury and vicinity some is months ago, has met with wide- spread approval. This is readily un- derstandable because improvement in home lighting affects every mem- Der of the family favorabIy.
 During the last five or SIX years great strides have been made in the 'science of seeing" and in the scien. tific development of more effective, economical and attractive lighting units, The home lighting service available without cost to customers applies these new discoveries.
 One authority says, "Seeing is a combination of good light plus good vision. Neglect of either of these vi- tai factors seriously handicaps our seeing ability and hurts our health and general efficiency" E
 Effects Acheived
 Homo lighting representatives are equipped with scientific devices that enable them to measure the lighting and make recommendation for im- provement. One of these is the sight meter, which allows the home-Inaker to see for herself how strong or how weak the lighting is at Q given point Sometimes the mere encouragement of existing lamps, or changes of shades, produces the desired im- provement.
 The home lighting representative approaches each home as an indie vidual problem, studies 1t with re- gard to family tastes and the in- tereSts of the individual members oi the family.

their cooking, refrigeration, water heating and other appliances, but will add to the enjoyment of living.
 Modern-m women turn their eyes today to the planned kitchen, the scientific arrangement ot kitch~ en equipment to save steps and mo- tions, to bring ebauty into the kitch- en. Never before have women taken so much interest in the kitchen.
 Miss Chagnot and Mrs. Greasy are prepared to advise on planned kitch- ems which reflect the mature know ledge of authorities on home Serv- ice and on understanding of the art of successful kitchen layout Every woman whose interest in the modern, plenned kitchen has been aroused should consult with these experts.

 They are free.
 Everyone is invited to attend. To do so places no one under any obli- gation whatever.

MISS MARGARET T. CHAGNOT knowing the right food combina- tons, using the gas or electric re- frigerator to prepare food ns well as to preserve 1t, getting the most effective results from electric or gas range, making the best use of hot water and keeping bills down Expert Guidance
 Why aren't more Waterbury wo- men taking advantage of Miss Chag. not's and Mrs. Creasys services fl they are so helpful?
 Tho reason Is simple.
 The two home-making experts have been too busy giving guidance to spend any time telling the world" about their services. Fur ther, they have been handicapped by inadequate facilities when "tell- Ing how to do 1t" before groups oi women. They visit many homes tc advise one woman or to inform sev- eral at one time, but they have tc demonstrate their Tneal-preparing step-saving technique before groups 1 Otherwise the number who would profit from their services would be too small.
 For several years the hall they worked in was small and mconven- lent. But now, beginning tomor- row, this is changed. A fine, large ultra modern hall, with every built In convenience for the comfort oi Waterbury women, has been built.
 The new hall, known as the home service auditorium, is one of the finest in the city. Entrance to the hall is on the street level, only a few steps from the grill gate at "49 Leavenworth street." an address that Is destined to become more and more familiar to Waterbury women as time goes on as the location of the home service auditorium and of the Connecticut Light & Power Cos business office.
 Services Available
 The Connecticut Light & Power Co. considers that making these ex- pert services available to it's cus- toners without cost is mutually ben- cficial to the customer and to the company. The object is to help each customer obtain the utmost value from every penny spent for electric and gas service. Good value begets more liberal use of service and ctls- toner satisfaction.
