Automobile Club Warns of Coming Battery Shortage The emergency service department of the Automobile Club Southern California today outlined seven specific precautions designed to aid troubled motorists in getting every ounce mileage from their present batteries. HOME LIGHTING "NO PEEKING, PLEASE, BUT ANSWERS ARE BELOW!" CORRECT ANSWERS 1. (b). Choose a flared or Empire shape wherever possible. It gives the widest spread of light. Conversely, the drum shape is the least generous with light, concentrating it around the lamp base. 2. (c). 20%, or one in five, of all school children have defective sight. Lighting experts agree that eyestrain from improper lighting for reading and study is a fundamental cause of eye defects in school children. 3. (b). Reading in a room lighted by only one lamp is injurious to eyes, causing glare from the page and gloom in the rest of the room. Eyestrain results from "contrast" glare. Always have at least one other lamp in the room lighted while reading. How about the Lighting in your home? Eyesight is the most vital of all the sensors. Proper lighting safeguards precious eyesight, yet it is inexpensive. Check the lighting in your home now! See that every lamp and lighting source is properly used to serve and save your family's eyes.
