Happier hearts ara possible ia the .

Hgrht*ns just as much as any city
kitcUea.
But this is not possible with koro- |
ione lamp? or gas jets. It can only j
be accomplished with electric lights. !
because electric lights provide the
fldeal illumination.
Brett with electric lights the farm
Jkltchen can be improperly illuminated, j
Glare and Shadows Result
Bn unshaded 'electric light suspended j
by n cord from the ceiling will compel
the farm wife to work in Ucr own i
Shadow in every part of the room -x* |
oep dirt-ctly beneath the light. The
?lare will bring a strain upon the .
eyes, r'1-ulting finally in a headache
And that well known "mean" feeliug.
No happy hearts from this:
Shadows Arc Not Wanted
The eld style type of fixture shown |
tii the upper illustration is an exun- |
pi- of a hurtful method of ilium!na- j
tiOD, which lighting specialists condemn.
It is a combination gas and
electric stem fixture. Thrn fixture j
Causes a shadow to be thrown by the i
worker on the work, because It is so
low- Apparently somebody got the
oea tact tne ngnr is wanted on the
floor in the center of the room and
practically nowhere !se.
If thJe !j the only source of electricity
Ir. this kitchen, the farm wife,
ft she wants to use an electric iron,
must drat unscrew the electric light
fcufh, titer, screw in the plug or the
Iron, making just enough extra work
f to create a fooling th;it electricity is a
su.sance instead of a convenience.

Farmers With Radio
Easy Way to
H i
It will undoubtedly Interest families
Hying In farm houses where radio sets
Are in use to know that the storage
batteries used with vacuum tube sets
are being successfully recharged without
removal from the house by means
of the Tungar battery charger.
Wherever vacuum tube sets are employed
by farmers or by persons in
Isolated rural districts the Tungar has
been found to save a great deal of
time and bother.
Vacuum tube radio sets are the only
type that Involve re charging of hatterias,
bat these are the sets with
long-distance receiving range, and
therefore moat farms are finding them
particularly desirable so Install
The Tungar battery charger was
originally developed In the research
laboratory of the General Electric
.Company for the use of automobile
owners In re-charging the starting and
lighting batteries of their cars.. Here,
also. It bAs been found of use to the
farmer who owns an automobile.

On all farms where electric cur
r tit is obainable. lighting engineers ^
of the General Electric Company suggest
that the kitcneo be illuminated ,
as shown iu the lower picture. It
mean more wiring than i? usually ^
done, even in city homes, but tbe result
is a lifetime of solid satisfaction.
First, there is a center light, placed ^
very high, close to the ceiling. That
permits tho light to be distributed all
over the room, with absence of vexatious
shadows. Enclosing the electric
lamp is a dense, opal glass reflector 11

If the kitchen is so large that the u
center light does not sufficiently il- w
luminate o\ ery corner, then r. wall T'
bracket over the sink and a drop light
over the kitchen cabinet will assist. 11
Glttfls shade.-* are nlsc recommended
for those lights
In kitchens of average size, it has
beer, found that in the center llcht a ri
75-watt bowl-enameled Mazda C lamp r'-j
is best. For the ether lights, 25-watt w
all-frosted Mazda li lamps do the w
work. The center light is turned on w
or ofT by a wall switch, the others Jl
by pull chains. . si
On the walls at "A" are placed co?* [ tn
venience outlets, or plugs, by which ol
electric fans, irons, grills or egg beat- J ei
ers can be connected up with a mini- , oi
mum or trouble. The lights in the ! la
cellar are turned on or off from the j ct
kitchen at "B" in the picture. Over
the cellar door is a small red light,

ble. And lhat is what it ha9 been
found to do on farms. If a fanner ?
had to convey a rather heavy storage *
battery to town every time it needed v
re-charging his radio outfit might be j ?
out of commission a couple of days or J
more. And with the growing function ?
of radio on (he farm this might prove |
a calamity. >
Tungars are made in various sires. Z
For radio work the small, portable J
type in two-ampere and five-ampere
capacities is the beat for the purpose. |:
The two-ampere Tungar will cnarge l'<
a six-volt battery at two amperes, or ;
a tweivo-volt battery at one ampere. {;
The five-ampere outfit will charge a X
six-volt, throe-cell battery at five am- $
perea, or a twelve-volt, six-cell battery \
at three amperes.
For radio listeners who have "B" v
batteries in their seta for supplying a \
"plate" voltage there is an attachment z
to the Tungar which enables these bat- ;
teries also to be re-charged, as well as v
the "A" or filament battery.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS :j
"TIDE" ?
\x
uq^lMK and tide wait for no ?
* man" is one of the oldest ?
proverbs in English and it is on v
account of this antiquity that it S
is misunderstood by i.he vast ma- ^
Joricy of persons who use it?for $
"tide" here does not refer to tlie K
movement of Him .ipaoh ? ?* "
its original signification. "opporrnnity"
or "season." . $
The latter of these is plainly ^
to be seen in the wonls Whit sun- ;
tide and Christraastide which, ft
though old-fashioned, still may
be found in present-da> English.
while Shakespeare, in "King
John," says: is \
'
What hath this day deserved. !
That it in golden letters should ft
be set
Among the high tides of the calendar?
ft
The expression. "Woe betide ft
you!"?which might be trans- ft
posed Into "Woe await you!"? ;i;
is "Still another indication of the :
older and almost forgotten mean- ft
Ing of "tide," this time in the r:
sense of occasion. The wdrd \
was also long used for a certain
hour or measure of time, thus >.
the ebb aid flow of the sea came '
to be called the "tide" because ;
it takes place at appointed .seasons
or times.
