Making The Home More Livable] The Indirect Lamp Enlivens the Card Table I By Jean Prentice All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. To which we add, play without good lighting makes Jack a dull partner! Most of us enjoy entertaining guests, don’t we? We get pleasure from providing attractive decks of cards, nice tallies and tempting candies. And then, when every detail seems perfection for the comfort of our visitors, we sometimes fall down miserably. We pull up to the card table a lamp whose small shade serves onlj two persons at the best, or else fails to cover the raw light from the bulbs so that the glare on the dummy hand makes us twist and fidget. Or perhaps the bulbs are woe fully small with the result that before the evening’s over our energy has seeped away with our efforts to see. (I’ve been guilty of such provisions myself, but know better now). From lighting scientists who have considered pur needs at play la well as at work, this advice nas been secured: Provide an in direct lamp of either the metal or glass reflector type, simitar to nUhe ones in the a^tohes, for your game t*We They give a light as soft as that on a shaded porch upon a summers's day, an adequate smooth light that distributes itself impartially to all four contest ants and lays no uncomplimen tary shadow lines on faces.

In the lamp in the larger sketch the 40 or 60 watt bulbs in the candle sockets are to be turned on in addition to the central bulb for especially intensive seeing tasks. A practical point about a lamp of this kind is that, since it is a “major” lamp and not a small one totally unfitted for the job, other lamps in the room need not be disrupted from their lo cations when the table is set up. The large lamp does a man-size job, sending light up as well as down and eliminating harsh con trasts. The “torchiere” type sketched in the panel has a softly lumin ous glass bowl taking the place of the shade on the first lamp. The lovely toned glass gives life to the unit and adds a striking decorative effect to the room. Both lamps have been made by a number of manufacturers ac cording to specifications of the Illuminating Engineering Society, national group of lighting experts.

From TIMES Washington Bureau CROP CONTROL SPREADS Control of agriculture is noted in almost every country, with the nations maintaining broad powers a.id, as a general rule, seeking further authority. The coming year is expected to see further progress in the direction of con trol, with, the United States, re garded as one of the most demo cratic of countries, leading the way with its adjustment pro grams. These established an essential new policy in govern ment regulation which other na tions have not hesitated to follow. An analysis prepared by Loyd Steere, of the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics, shows that, in addition to the United States, France, Germany, Canada, Aus tralia, Argentina, England and Russia are engaged in the regula tion and control of the production of wheat, although the extent of the governments’ powers vary. ROUGHAGE FROM CANADA About 300,000 tons of rough age will be imported from Canada duty-free by a new private agency to relieve drought stricken farmers in the North west. The hay will be available to those remote from domestic supplies, and the importations are not expected to affect the sale of American feed-stuffs. The supplies will be sold to re cognized government agencies or feed companies in the drought areas, to be sold by them to the farmers at prices not exceeding base prices, plus handling and commission costs established by agreement. It is expected that most of the feed will be moved into the Da kotas, Montana, Wyoming and Minnesota, since freight rates would make prices prohibitive •any further from the Canadian border. AGAINST AMENDMENTS Strong opposition to “clarify ing” amendments to the AAA, which failed to pass the last session of Congress, is assured because both Senator Smith, of South Caroling, chairman of the Senate Agriculture committee, and Senator Byrd, of Virginia, de clare they have not changed their stand in regard to these proposals. Byrd charged that the amend ments offered would have given Secretary Wallace the power to compel every person handling farm commodities to come to Washington for a license although the Secretary consistently denied that he had any intention of ex ercising such power. Meanwhile, efforts have been made to sound out processors, shippers and brok ers in an effort 60 secure a clarification that will enable the act to meet court tests satisfact orily. PROPOSES FARM BANK Senator Smith says he will pro pose an agricultural hanking sys tem, which would be separate and distinct from the present com mercial banking set-up. He would locate a bank in each State, with branches in each county, to pro vide farmers with two-year credit at a maximum interest rate of five per. cent in exchange for which the Federal bank would take over and market their crop. No attempt would be made to show a “profit” for the banks, which would deal only in farm paper. SMALL CROPS PAY MORE Farmers can learn a valuable lesson from the Dec. 1st report of the Crop Reporting Board, which points out that with the nation’s harvest at the lowest point in many cases since the ’80s and ’90s, the combined value of the 1934 field crops was $4,782,626,000, an increase of $668,361,000 over 1933 and $1,900,000,000 better than those of 1932. Short crops were attributed' to drought and government regula tion but prices averaged about 42 per cent more than a year ago Livestock and Poultry Judging Champions CHICAGO1 . . Top picture is of the champion junior livestock judging team from Clearwater County, Minn., which won the 1934 4-H Club championship. Left to right they are: Delbert Darst, Clement C. Chase, (coach), Glenn Long and Clifton Gustafson. Lower picture is the 1934 national poultry judging team from Oklahoma which won the championship. They are, left to right: Claud Hall, 16, of Fairview; Roger Murphy, 16, of Edmond and Floyd Clay 19, of Lookeha. Through State Capital Keyholes (continued from front page) Most of them wouldn’t object to lower automobile taxes but that is only a dream of half the folks after a slice of highway-fund pie get it. NOT WORRIED—At one stage of the game it looked like the State Revenue Department might be in for a good drubbing at the hands of the Legislature. It is still highly probable that attack will be made on the State’s col lecting agency but the record on increased revenues will stand Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell and his Executive As sistant Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr., in good stead when they are called on the carpet before com mittees that will themselves be harrassed by need of money to fill appropriations promises. Money makes the mare go in the General Assembly as well as in the colleges and public schools. SITTING PRETTY?—Friends of Governor Ehringhaus have spent weeks checking over names of members of the General As sembly and . are wearing big smiles these days. Administration stalwarts avow that His Excel lency is sitting on top of the world with a good majority of friends in the State and are confident that no anti-administra tion bloc of dangerous proportions can be organized in the House. But with all that some Raleigh political writers profess to hear rumblings of trouble coming for the Governor on the eve of the Legislature. MARRIED LIFE—Watch for a movement in the Legislature to pass a law against married women serving as public school teachers. Alexander B. Andrews, of Raleigh, has compiled some and 140 per cent above the 1932 average. The acreage harvested was the lowest in about thirty years and the yield average about 20 per cent less than average yields during the previous ten years. However, the significant point is that the farmers got more money and that once more agriculture is leading the nation back to prosperous days. With the lowest corn harvest in more than forty years, 1,380,718,000 bushels, compared with 2,351,658, 000 in 1933 and 2,906,873,000 in 1932, the growers received more money. The value of the short crop of 1934 was $1,085,565,000, compared with $924,930,000 in 1933 and $558,902,000 in 1932 for crops of much greater size. The same results come when we look at figures for other crops, whether it is cotton, wheat, oats, or hay. Farmers should always remember these figures. Got the Homesteads MINNEAPOLIS . . . Ethan Allen (above), the homestead lead, er who hitch-hiked to Washing ton and stormed capitol doors last year, will* head the caravan of 20 families, 49 adults and 55 children, which starts Jahuary 16 for the 640 acre tract awarded as homesteads in Minnesota by the Emergency Relief association. figures which show that ap proximately 4,000 married white women are teaching school in North Carolina. Some States have rules against employment, of married women in the schools where single ones are available and sentiment for such a law in North Carolina has been cropping out in spots recently. GETTING TAUT — Political lines are drawing tighter in the Capital City these days and you need not be a political wise man to sense the forming of groups behind the favorite candidates for Governor and the Eastern Senate seat in the classic of 1936. Pro bably the most pronounced single groups are those behind Governor Ehringhaus and Senator Josiah W. Bailey and there’s no longer any doubt many people want the Governor to oppose Mr. Bailey. Other blocs are forming in be half of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby ; ETERNAL QUESTION The world’s greatest source of argument, even exceeding that as to whether the chicken or the egg came first, is one arising from the question; Does the wife spem too much, 01 the husband earn too little?—Shreveport Journal. HOPE NOT Mussolini is going to take wo men out of industry in Italy and return them to the home. A lot of American husband hope the movement does not spread to this country. — Rockford Register-Re public. '—-ADVICE Another good way wor a swim mer to improve his speed in water is to sight a shark nearby.—At lanta Constitution. DEFINED Economy—A way of spending money without getting any fun out of it.— Readers Digest. Congressman R. L. Doughton and Lieutenant Governor A. H. (Sandy) Graham for Governor. Doughton and Hoey may make some announcement shortly but Governor Graham is expected to hold his peace until the end of the legislative session. LIQUOR—Several months ago it was a . generally accepted opinion that this General As sembly would shy away from any efforts to change North Carolina’s dry laws but as the time for convening draws nearer the prohibition question has stepped boldly into the spotlight of speculation. Prom all indica tions the Drys still have the situation well in hand but a lot of folks can’t figure out just what is happening to bring out an apparent change of . sentiment in some quarters. You can find plenty of officers of the law suffering headaches since Virginia legalized liquor and Tar Heels began week-end excursions into the Old Dominion. Some of these same arms of the law privately express the hope that something will be done bo liberalize the State’s liquor laws at the coming session. RIDING A WAVE —Unless some dark-horse steps out into the light Thad Eure and LeRoy Martin will be unopposed for reelection as principal clerks of the House and Senate respectively. The speakership race is still an uncertain quantity but here’s the line-up of candidates in the order that most of Capitol Hill wise ones place them according to strength—Robert Grady John son, of Pender, first with Laurie McEachern, of Hoke, running a close second and Willie Lee Lump kin, of Franklin running third. How accurate this estimate of strength is will be determined in the Democratic caucus on the night of January 8. We Are Now Buying Raw Furs Beef Hides Walnut Kernels and paying highest market prices.
