STATE COLLEGE HINTS STATE COLLEGE TO FARM HOMEMAKER; ANSWERS TIMELY By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Aq ent Plugging too many electric ap pliances into cne outlet not only cuts the current and means less power and dimmer lights; it also may overload the circuit and blow a fuse, Rural Electrification ad vistors say. It pays to have enough outlets and to have them conven iently placed. The time to install them most economically is when the house is wired. With conveniently placed outlets there will be no need for long ex- ; tension cords whjch are not only unsightly and inconvenient but also may cause trouble if they are placed so that they may easily be1 damaged?under a rug, for exam-' pie, or in fi*8nt of a doorway. Defective cords cause an in creasing number of trouble calls, the advisors say. Lightweight cords become frayed and worn in, time and then are a definite fire hazard. A simple "reminder" list in the kitchen will increase your work efficiency 10 to 20 per cent. Do you not always forget one item?the salt, the pepper, napkins, etc.? j when you set the table? Do you hop up and down all through the meal to get forgotten articles? Why not list everything?for breakfast for lunch, and for dinner?and hang the lists on the kitchen wall \n a convenient spot?
