- Homemaking— On Modernizing Lights, Porcelain And Recipe for Corn Meal Muffins
FALL IS the time to modernize
for soon the longer evenings will be setting in with many hours to be Spent reading, sewing, etc., in artificial light. If you do not want to buy new lamps or fixtures, why not try the Dew “tools” which electrical appliance dealers are showing to modernize
your old ones. | . Maybe you are keeping that bridge lamp for sentimental reasons, but the light is glaring. Screw into it an inexpensive round reflector plate together with a 100-watt silvered bowl bulb. All glare evaporates. The lighting is ‘sent from the bulb up to . the plate in the top of the shade - and back to one’s book, soft and Smooth. How to modernize the floor and table lamp is easily settled. For these there are inner diffusing bowls the housewife can install herself. They diffuse the light and direct Some upward for an indirect effect. A white lined shade and at least a 100-watt bulb complete the metamorphosis. The quickest way to change the ceiling fixtures in which several bulbs hang downward in a shower style is with the new 60-watt silvered bowl bulbs. Because the round -end is silvered, no light escapes downward. All is directed toward the ceiling. With these for attractive appearance may be used shades of metal or plastic and metal.
Save This for a Rainy Day

Speaking of electrical appliances, have you seen the new refrigerators? A housekeeping magazine in a recent survey. points out that the electric refrigerators use only about half of the electricity used by the refrigerators which are 10 years old. ~~ - Most of these new refrigerators, too, yield their ice cubes without a struggle. Leverlike releases free the cubes from the trays and grids. And then there is the task of defrosting. Some models have automatic defrosting. You don’t have to turn off the electricity to defrost or remember to turn it on to make the motor operate. The motor starts up and the freezing unit again grows cold after the frost is melted. All you do is just to point the temperature control at “defrost.”
The Question Box
Q—Can a leaky radiator valve be readily repaired . without special tools? A—Usually it can be easily done by tightening the packing nut at
the light conditioning in your home
necessary to repack the valve. To do this, drain the heating system until no water squirts out when the nut is loosened. Make certain that the valve is tightly closed, then unscrew the packing nut entirely, remove the old packing, and repack between the inside of the nut and the stem with plastic metallic packing compound, screw the nut down tight, and refill the system with water.
Q—Why is ice water recommended for the face? . A—Because it is a good astringent.
Q—What sort of stuffing is used in furniture of standard quality? A—Long, curled horsehair is generally considered the best; medium grades have moss with a little hair, the cheap grades of hair; in furniture of the poorest quality the stuffing is palm-leaf fibre, sisal, coco fibre, tow, and excelsior.
