Then, because most of women's work in the kitchen is near the sink. this important ﬁxture was made with a low back to fit beneath a window. It‘s height vi-as considered. so that atoopixlg and consequent baokaches could be avoided.

New. hard-surfucai. easy-clean- ing treatments for floors and walls were found that would make them more colorful and at the same time more serviceable. Lighting was studied and the convenience of n. light over the window above the sink. and a bracket fixture over the stove. have proveil helpful to many.

Handy oiltlet receptacles for toasters and other appliances. properlv placed for ready service. have become indispensable.

Another Small Room Possible by Planing

Frequently. the space needed for adding another small room. such as a pier-room. sewinz-rwm OI‘ ex- tra bathroom. can best be obtained by combining a little used hall-end and a small clothes closet. The re- suiting floor plan may not be regular. but a. skilful workman will so arrange the layout at small cost that the irregularities are an ad- vantage instead of a hindrance.

Air-conditioning in the homl saves fuel. because ailr at the proper degree o.’ humidity is mmriifortzible at several degrees lower tennxerature than dry air. Many oases of illness are directly due to diary, dusty germ- iaden air in the liiume. Air-con- ditioning revitalizes the air aild makes it pure, fresh, invigorating and stimulating, thereby saving doctors’ bills and lJ-Livlventiiig lost of time from work oir school.
