Ayres & Co.'s tearoom last night. Lee Burns is president of the society. “Light is now a versatile medium, and two new devices, the vest pocket light meter and the visibility meter, measure the exact amount of light required." Willard C. Brown of the General Electric Cos., told the gathering, composed of architects and representatives of L. S. Avres & Cos. “This exact measurement has never before been possible.” Mr. Brown said, “and it means that our eyes are going to receive much better treatment in the future.” Calls Kitchen “Mechanical Room" Mr. Brown illustrated his talk with a series of colored slides showing the contrast between new and old methods of lighting. He stressed particularly the need for making lighting units a functional part of building design and pointed out examples by means of slides. I. W. Clark, of the Westinghouse Electric Cos., followed Mr. Brown with a talk on kitchen planning. “The kitchen is a purely mechanical room,” he said, “and has only three main divisions, the refrigeration unit, the cleaning up unit or sink, and the stove unit. The housewife is kitchen-conscious, and a well-planned kitchen sells or rents a house.” Slides were used by Mr. Clark to illustrate the properly planned kitchen.
