HIGHWAYS

Through the medical doctor and
public health education, u life
span has been heightened. The lamp
bulb manufacturers have increased
the usefulness of electric bulbs
many times. But neither the doctor
nor the lamp bulb manufacturer
can put eternal life into materials
that inevitably d~eteriorate. How
about your lamps? Are they over
due for retirement? Are you get
ting the light you are paying for?
COLORED AND DUSTY BULBS
ARE LIGHT EATERSl-Colored
and dusty bulbs consume the same
current, but they do not give as
much light as the same-sized bulbs
of inside frost or bulbs that r
kept clean.
DISCoLORED PLASTICS
WASTE LIGHT TOO! The discol-
Grafton of plastic bowls is impor-
tant because it wastes light-as
much as 30 percent Of it! This
condition is easily remedied when
the right-sized bulbs are used in
right-sized bowls. Discoloration
takes place when a larger bulb is
used than the plastic bowl was
designed to take. In 6 inch and
8 inch plastic bowls use nothing
over 100 watts; in 1913 inch
plastic bowls use nothing over $50
watts.
SHADES OF NIGHT-Unshaded
illumination is wasteful. Shades en-
shower fixtures will appreciably in
crease useful lighting beneath. This
is especially recommended where
downward light is desired on .
table placed beneath such a fixture.
SHADES WITH A FLAIR-The
shape and size of q lamp shade
and the position Of the bulb in
a single socket conventional lamp
materially affect the usefulness Of
the lighting beneath 1t.
Avoid the more nearly straight
sided shades which confine light
to a shallow circle within a narrow
radius Of the base Of the lamp.
Widespread, generous lighting win
result when ~flaring shades are u.s.
