dows and doors in various rooms 
—and why isn’t it possible to visual¬ 
ize the placing of furniture and indi¬ 
cate these places to the architect that 
they may be provided with electric 
outlets. Of course, after the furniture 
is put in place you may want to 
change some of it, and this brings up 
the point that there should always be 
an outlet or two in every room for 
comfort and convenience in the re¬ 
adjustment of furniture. 
There should be at least one extra 
outlet in every room besides the 
regular switches and in some rooms 
it would be wise to have three or 
four additional. This gives the room 
the possibility of increasing light with¬ 
out overloading the circuit. The out¬ 
let need not always be in the baseboard. 
Often, as in the case of an electric 
iron, it is more convenient to have 
the cord suspended from above. On 
the other hand, a connection for a 
vacuum cleaner is better placed near 
the floor. Use and convenience alone 
may decide the placing of outlets. 
Switches, of course, can also be ap¬ 
plied to outlets. When installing an 
outlet, it is wise to have it so made 
that a plug will fit it, and have 
parallel flanges or lateral flanges in 
the same plane. This will enable you 
to use, without changing the plug, 
almost any electric appliance. 
What we especially wish to dwell 
upon in our limited space is that the 
problem of lighting is to light, in short, 
lighting problems are all reduced to 
this one ideal, to approximate as nearly 
as possible normal daylight. 
There are three general kinds of 
lighting: Direct, indirect (where light 
is transmitted and then reflected from 
a surface), semi-direct (where most of 
the light is reflected and the rest 
direct). 
The kitchen lighting is usually the 
worst in the house. But there are two 
kinds of lights (see illustration), one 
semi-direct, and one diffusing-direct 
which seem to take the kitchen out of 
medievalism and bring it up to date. 
A few things are often forgotten in 
this vast question of house illumination,
