Kitchen Lighting ContdO

Kitchen Lighting COntdD
Built-in lighting in dish
closets and over the sink and
range are also interesting ap-
plications that will be found IN
good kitchen lighting, the
walls and ceilings should be
of light shade, preferably a
dull white, cream or ivory so
eliminated. 1t is best to have
have the ceiling fixture con-
trolled by a switch at the
door. Whenever work is done
facing the wall, as at the sink
or range, wall brackets should
be placed for best auxiliary
light.
Lumiline lamps are ideal
lv suited for installing over
the range, the sink and the
work table.
It is important to have
plenty of convenience outlets
throughout the kitchen. Do
not place these outlets on the
Dashboard, but rather have
them built into the wall
about four feet from the
floor; this makes it much
more convenient to use cleo
trical appliances. In the pan
try, a lamp shaded with an
oval glass reflector should be
hung so as to light the
shelves. In many cases it is
desirable to have lights with
a simple reflector installed
inside of the cupboard and
shelves.

Regardless of whether William

of self-inflicted wounds or natural

action against Penal Superin-

"Mr. Huff is running Occo-

DR.. E. C. Shull of Herndon, act

later, Huff said the cause was
hemorrage and shock.
Sentenced to 100 days for vag-

was sent to Occoquan from the
Central Union Mission where he
was known as William DWyer.

The whole affair began when
