Here Are Some Tips on Liqht Fixtures
By Gladys Miller

There is constant battle being
waged among husbands, wives and
the whole family about the type
and amount of light to be served
up with the evening meal.
Women love candlelight. The
brighter and more direct the light
Is above the table. the better men
like it. For a decade or so, 1t has
been difficult to get suitable. at
tratcive, and well-priced lighting
fixtures for the average home.
Also, builders are expected to
install all lighting fixtures, and as
they had to shave every extra
penny from the cost Of the house,
gradually lighting fixtures were
eliminated.
What is more, fewer and fewer
electric outlets were installed. If
an outlet for a ceiling fixture was
installed, it was placed in the
center Of the dining room.
Every one seems to overlook that
furniture is not arranged as it
was in the COS around a center
dining room table. The dining
table is now, more often than
not. at one end Of the room or in
the living room.
So the outlets for lamps, and
ceiling or wall fixtures must now
be set in to serve where they will
be needed. This, of course, is far
less costly to do when the house
is being built or remodeled than
later.
Building and furnishing a home
resembles. to q great degree, al
juggler's act. When finished it|
Will be successful only in so far
as every one concerned can live inI
1t with the maximum comfort and
convenience. One miss-such as
poorly placed fixtures-and the
whole act fails. /
The proportion Of the fixture toI
the room size, and the specific
furniture group it is to light, is
OF first Importance. The light
source should not be seen. The
light should be properly diffused
over the area, and not unevenlyl
spotted.
Don't be misled while selecting
q lighting fixture. and select q CELL
ing fixture of heavily etched glass.
Every bit Of etching creates some
glare, and hte more glare the
less eye comfort.

Ohio COP Representative Convicted of Receiving Unlawful Contributions

&0 Unlawful Contributions
 WASHINGTON, tP0 = Repub- lican Rep. Walter E. Brehm of Ohio, five term member of Congress, was convicted Monday of receiving $1,000 in unlawful political contributions.
 A federal court jury of 10 men and two women found the 58- year-old Ohioan guilty on five counts involving $200 contri- button from Mrs. Emma Craven while she worked for him in l948.
 The maximum sentence that could be imposed is IS years in prison and a $25,000 fine. But maximum penalties seldom are imposed in convictions on several counts.
 Brehem was convicted of break ing a law that forbids congress men to accept political gifts from persons on the federal payroll.
 The tall, heavy-set congress man was pale, but showed no emotion when jury foreman B. Richard Breslar, a restaurant op- orator, announced the verdict in an almost empty courtroom.

remarks made about the lady'S past.
Evita. for her part, worries not at
all about what the ariStocrats think
about her. Her pitch is to the little
man and the little woman, and
slick-even demagogic-pitch it is.
Unlike the traditional Hispano-
American wife, she does not keep
herself in the background: Rather.
she makes at least her full share of
public appearances and statements
and for years has been . power, If
not behind, at least very close to the
throne.

Evita has an equal chance with her
husband of being elected. KING and
queen teams-Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, William and Mary-are fairly
common in history: one cannot find
parallel in non-monarchical gov
ernments. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. of
course, never held office, and Mad
anne Chang Kai-Shek, while tre-
mendously powerful. held her posi-
ton through benefit of clergy rather
than of the electorate.
And finally, most close observers
agree that from now on Peronista
tyranny will grow in severity. They
also feel that since despotism usually
carries with it the seeds of its own
destruction. this may well be the
turning point in the history of the
present Argentine dictatorship. Some

it may be torturously drawn out,
this is the beginning of the end.

Chris fell in love with a lady on
the Canary Islands during stop on
his first voyage.
On the first trip. he kept two sets
of books. He reduced the mileage
for the crew so they wouldn't worry
about being so far from home But,
because he overestimated his dis

Chris came over on the Santa

The Pinta was the first to sight
America. the first to reach Haiti and
find gold and the first to get back
to Spain.
He was very brave but very stub
born. On the way back from the
second voyage, he made his officers
and men sign dispositions that Cuba
was part of continent and too long
for an island. He warned the men
that if they said otherwise later on.
he would fine them 10000 maravedis
and have their tongues cut out. If
the culprit was a boy-he amended
his admonition-he'd get 100 lashes.
Chris died thinking that he had
discovered unknown parts of Asia.
He figured Cuba was part of China
and that South America was in a
position corresponding to Australia.
Through some faulty miscalcula-
tions-Chris frequently had trouble
with latitudes-he once figured out
that the world was shaped like a
pear or that it was sphere ION one
part OF which is placed something
like a womans breast" This pro-
