The gure represents an increase of 133 over the gure of 81-2, the number on relief in December 1937. The 945 gure is also an increase of 233 over the gure for November 1938. The total expenditure for relief last month was $6,321.26 acganst $6,240 for December 1937. The situation is a desperate one, remarked Mayor Pack this week.

Research in lighting has shown V. that while we enjoy the best arti- cial lighting that has yet been de- nlvised, we are not using nearly enough of it for our needs. The 1 `unit for measuring light is the foot- . . t candle-the amount of light falling on a surface one foot distant from ) our lighted candle. Outdoors on a 1 clear day the skylight illumination .varies from 1,500 to 10,000 foot- lcandle, and in the shade it is not `lex than 500 footcandles. But in lthe homes and offices in which we Bllive and work the light often meas- ` 1 hures only ve footcandles-an in- aiadequate amount for any prolonged seeing task ! .! ' ' _ However, intensity alone does not. 3`|make good articial lighting. Of ;-even more importance is an even _ distribution of brightness and the! .:absence of glare. The lighting on'l `your `book or paper should not dif- 1 fer too strongly in Intensity from that of the surroumlings, because each time the eyes are lifted from -a brightly lighted page, they must make adjustments which may be _diicult and tiring`. Lighting ex- `perts recommend that there be at `least 1-10 as much light everywhere in the room as you have directly lion your work. dark colored walls, ` I 7 ceilings and darkly lined lamp _|shades should be avoided because icolors absorb a high percentage of the light you are paying for and 1 yet do not receive.
