Econ. omy suggests the use of 15 or 25 watt bulbs. Upstairs halls or long private halls are usually best lighted with emall ceiling fixtures equipped with 25 or 50-watt bulbs. In many homes, however, bracket fixtures tmay be used on the walls to give eatisfactory lighting. 'When the house is wired, the lights in the halls shoulld be put in‘so that they may be lighted from either upstairs or downstairs. The lighting fixtures in the halls ought to be placed so that they will light the stairway as well as the hall. In large homes where the stairs turn or where there is & landing half way up, it may be ad- visable to install a small fixture at the turn to be sure the stairs ore well lighted. LIGHTING THE OUTSIDE 0% THE HOUSE Many homes that are being builf pow have a duplex convenience out- et installed on the porch so that portable lamps may be uted to make an outdoor living room in pleasant weather. In every home some lighting is needed at the main entrance and other doorways for convenience and safety at night. Lanterns of weatherproof metal are commonly used either as bracket or ceiling fixtures. The driveway to the garege will need some light, perhaps from a fixture attached to the outside of the house. The lighting inside the ge should be installed so that r(“:ny be lighted from either the house or the garage. In more elab- orate homes the gateway and drive tay be equipped with ornamenta lanterns or posts. When we do this, | AND STAIRS For outdoor fixtures a 50-watt bulb will usually be large enough. However, if a large space is to be lighted, as much as 100 watts may be needed. PROPER WIRING Hidden in the walls of a home are the wires that permit us to en- | joy the comforts of electric service. | They are out of sight and we never | think about them, but they are very | important for they may limit our ability to use electricity for light- {ing and for appliances conve- niently. Every year we add something to the electric equipment in the home. Perhaps this year it is a new table |lamp, last year it may have been a wash machine or a toaster, next year it may be a fan or a curling |iron. Five years ago when the | house was wired, we did not plan for these new things, and now we remove a lamp bulb to connect one | of them, thus depriving ourselves of needed light and spoiling the | appearance of the room by the un- sightly cord which dangles from the soclet. The wiring in most homies can be made to give greater service to- day by the addition of convenience outlets (usually the duplex type, which permits two things to be connected to one outlet). In gen- eral, we need one of these for each fiff re feet of floor in the room. These may be placed in the wall near the floor or at a height of three or four feet above the floor to save bending over when we connect an appliance.
