81 think we can all agree that no
man, woman, or child in the United
States should be allowed to starve,"
said M. L. Wilson of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture in addressing
the National Nutrition Conference for
Defense. "That is the very least this
vast and fruitful land should promise
it's sons and daughters. But having
pledged ourselves to that proposition
we find we are committed to a good
deal more than might be imagined
We find that starvation can be hid
den, subtle and slow, as we'll as des-
perate and dramatic. We find that
science has uncovered starvation in
places where it was not supposed to
exist, in high and middle places as
we'll as in the low.
"Call it malnutrition, call it under
nourishment, call it dietary deficiency
or what you will-when men and
women and children fail to eat the
foods that give them full life and
vigor, they are in fact starving. Here
then is the challenge we must face:
We are pledged to the proposition
that no one in this great democracy
shall starve, even with hidden hunger,
and we are faced with the fact that
40 per cent Of our people have poor
and inadequate diets"
Selection and Use of Lamps
Decide what kind of light you re-
quire, then choose the right type of
lamp to do the job.
Floor lamps for study and reading
give general illumination indirectly
when equipped with diffusing bowls,
and at the same time direct lighting
is provided for fairly close work with
out eye strain. Use a 100-watt bulb
for an s-inch bowl, a 15O-watt bulb
or a 50-10O-15O Sway bulb for a
938-inch bowl, and a 1OO-2OO-3O0-
watt 3-way bulb for a 10-inch bowl.
The lamp should be placed beside and
slightly to the rear of lounge chairs
directly behind davenport; or to the
left or right of desks or tables used
for study; and at the piano.
Bridge lamps give semi indirect
lighting for general room illumina-
ton and direct light for specific tasks
Use a 100-watt bulb for an S-inch
bowl, and 150-watt or 50-1O0-150-
watt 3-way bulb for a 9 3-S-inch bowl
Place the lamp beside chairs or near
small writing desks and tables.
Desk lamps are not recommended
when they throw direct undiffused
light on the book you're reading OF
the paper you're writing on. Reflec-
ton Of the light causes glare, is like.
| ly to cause eye strain.
Table lamps should be placed on the
left-hand side of the desk or table fol
use by the right handed and on tho
right-hand side for use of the left
handed. May also be placed in the
center of large table or on a small
table with chairs clustered around it
Should stand high enough to give ;
broad spread of light, but not so higl
that the unshaded light shines in th'
eyes. Use a 10O-watt lamp for an 8
inch diffusing bowl, and a $50 wat
: ter or 50-100-15Owatt 3-way bull
:, for a 9 93-S-inch bowl.
End table lamps come with a shad
;. and an S-inch difIusing bowl whic
. takes a 100-watt bulb. They are dec
t orative, give general lighting and suf
ficient illumination to enable a per
y son sitting beside them to read o
. study. Place the lamp directly to tn
side of the chair or sofa on tabl
