STRUGGLE WANES FIERCE I CHIM Both Sides Throwing Best Troops Into Battlefront P By The Assoclated Press. Peking, China, Oct. 18.—Fighting at Shanhalkwan between the invad- ing Manchurian forces of General Chang Tso-Lin and. the resisting armies of the Peking government is 80 Increasingly violent and intense that the outcome may decide control of the central Chinese government, according to observers returning to- day from the Chihilian-Manchurian tront. Both sides are throwing thelr best fighting units into the battle for the important strategic lines approach- ing Shanhaikwan, which is near the Chihillan-Manchurian border in Chihlt province and held by Central government troops. . According to the observers, the Manchurian plan is to break the liness at Shanhalkwan, before the troops in the Jehol reglon, a sepa- rated front, become a menace to the Manchurian flanking forces. It also 1s reported General Chang Tso- Lin has been forced to weaken his lines at Jehol and Chihfeng to stif- fen his attack around Shanhaikwan, In the latter sector the fighting has been heaviest around the vlilage of Shimenkai\ which has changed hands repeatedly under the artillery fire of both sides.. Guns are mount~ ¢d in the hills overlooking the town, From all appearances the observ- ers report, neither side has gained a decided advantage. It is said that General Wu Pei-Fu, military head of the Peking government, has not launched a serlous offensive, being satisfied to protect his lines against surprise movements while additional Peking troops are being sent to the front, By the Assoclated Press. Shanghal, Oct. 18.—A clas e- tween General Wu Pel-Fu, m [y head of the Peking government, and the commander of the Japanese gar- LIGHTING THE v The living room is ucually mot only the largest room in the house, out it is also the rooni that is most used. In most homes it serves as the sitting room, the parlor, the library and the music room. Because we do so many differ- ent things in this room, we need lighting that can be changed and varied to suit our purpose. For example, if we wish to entertain our friends by dancing or playing cards, we should be able’ fo flood the whole room Wwith mlenty of soft, cheerful light; if we wish to read or sew, we should be able to have the light come over our shoulder from behind a favorite chafr; if we wish to play the piano and sing, we should have the mu- sic well lighted. At all times the lighting effect should be pleasant and attractive. To get these effects, we need three different kinds of lighting equipment in the room. First we have a fixture hung from the ceil- ing with which we can flood the room witH light; then we have table lamps and floor lamps which are portable and can be moved about as furniture is xenrnngefl, to give a good reading light. Finally, we f may have bracket fixtures on the walls, which give us charming spots of colored light—never too bright and only used to add at- tractive decoration to our other lighting. “Bulbs" are known by the amount of electricity it takes to light them. The unit by which they are classified is the “Watt,” and bills for electric lighting current are rendered in terms of a “kilowatt~ hour,” which is one thousand watts for one hour, or one hundred watts for ten hours, The total watts needed in any room depends upon the size of the the kind of fixtures used, the color of the decorations and the lighting effect wanted In most rooms good lighting may re- quire as little as one or as much es five watts of bulbs for each square foot of floor area in the room. Here are the things to think about when we want to be sure LESSON NO. O rison in the reglon of Chinwangtao, Shanhalkwan and Lwanchow, has resulted from orders issued by Gen. eral Wu. The orders say that any “Japanese soldlers found wandering on the roads boetween the Shanhaik. wan headquarters and the Japanese marrison station whose conduct shall be suspiclous, shall be arrested or reported to the military police,” ac- cording to an eastern news agency dispatch today. ABRIAL CIRCUS STUNTS ARE SEEN IN HARTFORD — More Than Two Score Plancs Taking Part in Elaborate Ale Pro. gram This Afternoon Hartford, Oct, 18, ~Afrplanes, big | and small, from all points of the compass began'arriving at Brainard field at twilight for the aerial circus which takes place this afternoon un- der the auspices of the 118th ab- sevation squadron, *C. N, G., and by noon today most of the 60 phanes expected had come, Among the early arrivals were the Curtlss “Owl" second in size only to the Barling bomber and the Sperry Messenger A-1, the smallest plane made, familiarly known as a “putt-putt,” Seven army DeHavi- lands from Mitchel fleld and a sim- ilap plane from Bolling field, trict of Columbia, also came yester- dayand several Curtiss pursuit planes the fastest in the government serv- ice, were early on the field, The program of the oircus in- cludes an air parade with about 30 planes in line, parachute dropping by two army experts, races, balloon bursting and stunt flying. The first event after the parade will be sky writing. Formation flights by squadrone of machines will follow and the Owl and the Sperry Mes- sengers will do some tricks together. The parachute jumping exhibition will bring the program to a close, DIES OF T MONIA Omaha, Neb,, Oct. 18, — Howard Church, traffic engineer for the American Telephone and Telegraph company in New York city, died sud- denly yesterday of pneumonia. ‘He came to Omaha to attend a confer- ence of telephone officials, 5 LIVING ROOM as long as it is wide, two ceiling fixtures should be used. There are several kinds of fix- tures which will provide good lighting in the living room. Some of these are shown in the Home Lighting Primer’ on page 23. Some are shown in the next pic- ture. ‘The bulbs in these fixtures vary in number, but the total watts nec essary for good lighting is from 100 to 250 watts. ‘. The shades may be of glass, silk or parchment. They should completely hide the bulb and should be dense enough so that the whole surface of the shade is evenly lighted. A bright spot in the center of the shade means that the shade is not dense enough, and that some glare is present. The use of all frosted bulbs will often do away with shadows of chains which would otherwise be cast on the ceiling. PORTABLE LAMPS Portable lamps include floor lamps, table lamps and small ped- estal lamps, candlestick, torcheres, etc., for mantel and bookcase. The best portable lamps have shades which are deep enough to hide the bulbs and dense enough to prevent glare. Some are built to send more light up toward the ceiling as well as down toward the table or floor. These use large bulbs and are _dc- signed to provide general lighting by reflection from the ceiling as well as local lighting. Portable lamps from which more is required than merely decoration will need bulbs which have a total of 50 to 100-watts or more; in the interests of economy, those which are merely a decoration do not need more than a 25-watt bulb. Duplex outlets in the-baseboard permit the greatest convenience and use of portable lamps for lighting. WALL BRACKETS Sometimes people try to provide general lighting for the entire room with wall brackets. Except under unusual circumstances, this leads to one result—the use of larger bulbs whose brightness is annoying. we hava good lighting in the living | yoom. 1. Do we have plenty of light where we need it? 2. Are all the bulbs well shaded so that we do not have any glare? 3. Does the lighting equipment look well in the room, and does it fit both lighted and unlighted with the {furniture and woodwork?
