'HOME LIGHTS-OFFER DECORATORS PROBLEM General Rule to Be Applied Is to Avoid Glare, Which Causes Restlessness. Home lighting differs from com- mercial lighting jn the sdme degree that a blue print'is th& opposite ex- treme from an artistic painting. In commerclal work. the main considera- tion is efficiency. I must be admitted, however, that efficiency. 18 also an im- portant factor in home i{llumination, |but 1t must not be the guiding rule altogether. Strange t Say, illumina- tion in the home is the most subtle thing the interlor decorator has to deal with. Every one entering the ‘house comes under the influence of the lighting and this iInfluence is keenly felt. The same person might walk into the same home at two dif- ferent times, One time the impression of armth and friendline; and cor- diality would be given—while under different conditions of illumination coldness would be experienced. creat- ing an unwelcome sensation. For this reason, every kind of light in a home should, in the true sense of the word, makeit home and not merely a re- siding place. The most general rule that ma; stated is to avoid glare. All of us have been exposéd not infrequently to high’/candle-powered lights unpro- tected Dby dmuulxx globes, balls, shades or reflectors. To some of us the thought comes that this condition is not only wasteful and unnrna- mental, but produces restiessness, Ir- ritability and lack of ease. Therefore, we can say at the very beginning, never permit an installation which allows the bare fillament of a lamp to r:nlmtn exposed within the line of vision. . e 750,000-ACRE FOREST SURVEY TO BE STARTED; Southern States Timber Land to Be Studied With View to Use for Agriculture.
