The electric cord is not intended to withstand mechanical stresses, as will be understood after a word explaining its construction. Construction of Cord The cord, which looks like one wire covered with woven fabric, is really two wires within one outer covering, which is usually silk.

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, and stain removers, with space be- low for baskets, wash boards, and ironing boards if this is not built in a sepal% le place. A linen closet is one of the most important store rooms iu the home an should be located in a part of the house where it will be most acces- sibie, It should be planned with the idea of classifying and .organizing the different Sizes of sheets, pillow cases, towels, :spreads, and any other houee- ih old lion. Sometimes the extra bed- 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 which may be an aid in sorting the linen, Sliding trays ar 6ometimets used for the linen. They are made 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 without the clothes touching the walls, bat, on the other hand, it is not well to built them too deep.

The chances are that when the amateur has gone this fur, he has discovered the break. Pull the wires out from under the screw heads.

Spark plugs were tering far enough back to give two 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 this flame takes place in the cylinder at the exact moment when the cylin- der is charged with compressed 'gas, the -flame ignites the gas and muses its combustion and expans" Star.

In every home there is usually some Nate for the medical and surgical supplies and this is commonly termed the medicine chest. e This should be a shallow closet with narrow shelves so all bottles will be in single rows, each plainly labeled. All poisons shoud be kept on a shelf by themsel- ves It is also a good idea to either have a different shaped bottle or a dif- ferent kind of stopper so they will be recognized hi the dark. The medicine closet is usually placed in the bath room although this is not necessary if there is a more convenient place, Besides these closets listed there are always odds and ends of storage spaces. around the Moue that can be utilized to good advantage. Some- times it is a bit of space around the chimney', a set of drawers under, the stairs, or a window seat. If the win- dow seat is on the second floor, it could be lined with oedar and make a possible storage space for wool blankets. One seldom has too much, storage space or too many closets.
