The laundry closet should be in the
ronin where laundry work is done. It
may be high- enough to have a shelf
at the top for the soap, bluing, starch,

low for baskets, wash boards, and
ironing boards if this is not built in a

important store rooms iu the home

ding is also stored in the linen closet.
Wbeit this is done, wider and deeper
shelves are necessary. The shelves
with drop fronts are desirable as linen
is very heavy to handle in a drawer
and the drop front extends the shelf

bp simply having the drawers shallow
and cutting away part of the front.
Clothes closets should be arranged
in every bed room of the house and a
closet for outside wraps is very de,s1r-
able iu both the front and back of the
house, The most ,important things
in connection with riothes closets are
to have easy access to every garment,
good light, and the possibility of air-
ing. Clothes closets should be suf-
ficiently wide to take a coat hanger

employed similar in .construction to
those now in use. To produce the
spark the automobile was equipped
with an electric ignition system, the
component parts of which were bat-
tery, commutator, switch, spark coil,
spark plug, wire and spark advance
lever. Many cars of the period from
1908 to 1907 used a double battery
system so that should the dry battery
run out, the storage battery was ready
to give the necessary power to keep
the vehicle running. In the automo-
bile of to -day the same idea is carried
out in a much simplified form, but
the basic idea remains unchanged.
In describing the spark plugi of
1906 the Cleveland Automobile In-
stitute says: "The spark plug is so
constructed that, when energy reaches
it from the. batteries, the energy
jumps a gap between the platinum
points of the plug in the cylinder.
When this jump occurs, a flash of
flame bridges the gap. And, since
