Earlier, the grand and reserve There is a little more to the phrase "adequate wiring" than what is usually visualized Everyone is familiar with the necessity of sufficient electrical outlets and the convenience of enough switches to light the way around the house, but not all home owners are acquainted with "wire capacity" or "light that is right" or the need to prepare for the future.

When a heavy duty appliance is used, such as ironer or washing machine, a voltage drop is caused and the lights in the house will be slightly dimmed. That is the result of insufficient wire capacity. A reliable electrician can inform the home owner as to the proper gauge wire necessary. Ceiling or bracket lights controlled by wall switches should be installed in all rooms, halls, and porches. If a wall switch controls a lighting outlet serving movable lights then ceiling or bracket lights may be omitted in the living room.

In all homes more electric appliances are being used now than ever before. Undoubtedly, the next few years will see the development of many more electric appliancs that will be used in homes. House wiring and outlets should be adequate to take care of them. Funds for the installation of adequate wiring may be obtained from private lending institutions approved by the Federal Housing Administration under its Modernization Credit Plan. methods for use building homes financed by FHA-insured mort ing Industries Bureau advises.

Gifford Pinchot, who has licked the Republican State organization twice, when he ran for Governor, is looked upon as a man who might cause trouble, but he says at Washington that he is not discussing politics these days. Pinchot's political ambition has always been to sit in the Senate rather than sit in the Governor's chair.

Thrice he ran for Governor and he was a candidate for the senatorial nomination three times. He never won the Republican nomination for the Senate, but in his first political effort in the State, he won the Washington party nomination.
