Wb«m*r than k a piact for pawh to tit down, thtrt tboald be •ome proritlon Bade for Bglit enough o(ht to insore uie, coinfortable teein. T his living room has a fireplace. that Irving room has none. This one has a piano and a daven port, Mo/ one a radio and a love seat. Becanse they are all different, it would be impossible to give hard and fast rules for lighting a living room as a whole. But if it is to live ' ap to the solid comfort its name im plies, every living room must pro vide for light wherever it makes pro vision for people to sit down. And it is easy to tell how to light a_ chair for reading, a desk for writing, a table for bridge and so on. Eye Requirements Vary Researches conducted by sci- entisti' enable them to prescribe a minimum of ten units of light on our book if we arc to read comfort ably and without eyestrain. For sewing they prescribe twice that amount of light, since sewing is often done on dark materials that absorb light, and with thread that matches and so offers no contrast to help the eye along. It has been demonstrated further that the pupil of the eye grows smaller with age, permitting less light to enter to en able the eye to form the image. So a person fifty years of age requires twice as much light to see easily as a 20-year-old person. The print in little Mabel’s primer is large and easy for Gradmother to read. But even so she must double the light on the page if she is to see the words as easily and quickly as the child at her knee. A wife darn ing at one end of the davenport needs twice as much light as her h'isband who is reading the evening news at the other. Obviou. ly, the living room that is well lighted will take cognizance of these facts, and the lamps here and there will have two or three sockets and thus be equipped to give more light as it is needed. In general it may be assumed that one 60-watt bmp bulb in a reading lamp, pro- wdes the minimum of ten units of li»t necessJry for comfortable rSding. The lamp with two or three sockets makes it possible to double the light at a twist of the wrist, and, of course, the second and third lamps need not be turned on until they are needed. * Avoid Unshaded Bulbs It is not enough to have enough light To insure “safe” seeing, the eyes require light of a comfortable quality as well as a sufficient quan tity. Raw light from bare bulbs is harsh and unpleasant. Hence all fixtures should be shaded, and both floor and table lamps should be placed with relation to chairs, so that those sitting down are not an noyed by a view of the bare bulbs. This means that the very tall lamp should not be used with the very low chair or davenport unless it is placed slightly behind. Shades should be deep enough to hide the bulbs underneath, broad enough to throw a wide circle of | light down on the book or paper of the person sitting in the chair, and light in feeling. This last qualifica tion is one you must insist upon, if you are going to get the most light for your money. A dark shade will absorb light, and cheat your eyes, and incidentally it will give your room a gloomy appearance too. But, although it is dark in color, if it is highly translucent, permitting light to seep through, if it has a light colored lining to reflect much of the light—if it is open at the top, allow-' ing light to escape toward the ceil ing—then it has the “light feeling,” that promises your room a pleasant lighted effect. Only at the desk, where the lamp must be placed right in front of and on a level with the eyes, is the dark shade recommended, and incident ally, be sure the desk lamp is placed on the left — unless you are left handed, in which case it should be placed at the right side of the desk. For the bridge table, the most efficient light is that provided by the indirect portable lamp. It satisfies all the requirements of safe sedfng since it provides enough light of a pleasant quality for any close work, and has the advantage of being so shaded so that it could annoy only the eyes of a fly on the ceiling. Thanks Voters Of Wilkes To the fine citizens of Wilkes county who gave me your votes and loyal support in the race for Register of Deeds, I wish to ex press my thanks. This would not be necessary if I had bought your support, but you gave it freely for the sake of clean and honest government, and this is the only kind I stand for. Our forefathers gave their lives for the right to take a hand 4n their own government. Shall we sell our birthright for a mess of pot tage? The Republican party is bigger than any of its candi dates, and the country is bigger than any party. I believe that every voter, man nr woman, should keep the welfare of the country uppermost in mind, and vote accordingly. Again I thank you. MILLARD P. BUMGARNER.
