Use Flashlight To See
If Rugs Need Cleaning
Chicago (U.R) All that's
necessary to determine wnen
vour carpets or rugs neea a
professional cleaning is a small
focusing flashlight.
Get on your hands and knees
m a neavy trattic area, spread
the carpet pile with your fingers
and shine the light into the .gap.
Cleaning experts say there
will be a darker band along the
upper portion of the fibers. This
is the atmospheric soil which is
dulling the carpet's hues.
If the band extends half the
depth of the fiber, it's time for
professional cleaning. If the soil
level is more than half-way, the
case is considered urgent.

scientific study to help archi
tects and builders treat lighting

afterthought in many house de
signs," explained Prof. Glenn H.
Beyer, director of the Cornell
Housing Research Center, which
will make the study under a
Jersey City, N. J.
Beyer said adequate lighting
is just as important as a home's
appearance, and bears directly
on such factors as comfort, in
