V/OMAN'S WORLD
Right Table Heights in Kitchen
Add Convenience, Insure Safety
By Ertta Haley
If RE you comfortable when you’re
doing dishes, ironing, laundry
and the dozen other tasks around
the household in which you work?
If you’re not comfortable, then
you surely must tire easily, and
probably unnecessarily. Comfort
and convenience while you work are
not in the class of pampering your
self, but in a class to increase ef
ficiency.
Industry has long recognized
this, but the idea is just now be
ginning to gain ground in the home
where homemakers are required to
do such essential tasks as keeping
the family fed, clothed and clean.
Ready-made cabinets installed in
most homes have a standardized
height which may or may not be
fitting to the individual. Altered
slightly by economical measures,
it has been found that working ef
ficiency can be increased effective
ly.
No longer is it considered lazy
to sit while you work. In fact, it's
smart to do so. Sitting requires less
energy output than standing, and if
there’s a huge drain on your en-
Ute sink rack to raise dish pan . . .
ergy, see how many jobs about the
house can be done sitting. Ironing,
dishwashing and wiping, and some
food preparation can all be done
sitting rather than standing.
A woman’s body requirements
and individual figure problems are
the best guide to comfort while
working. She, herself, is the only
one who can decide, and this only
after experimentation.
Improper Working Height
Promotes Poor Posture
A woman pays a physical penalty
every time she uses an improper
working height, it has been shown
by several university experiments
run recently. One of these penalties
is poor posture, and another is in
creased energy output with its
consequent increase in heart rate,
pulmonary ventilation and blood
pressure.
In the experiments women ironed
at the low 31-inch ironing boards
end proper table heights for mixing.
for three hour periods on several
days, then on 34 and 35 inch boards
for *n equal length of time. All
preferred the higher boards, and
found themselves much less fa
tigued.
In the experimental studies made,
it was found that body height is
no reliable measure for finding the
correct table heights. In body
heights that were the same, it was
found that elbow heights may vary
as much as three inches.
Waist and hip heights, as well as
arm lengths also vary in individ
uals who may be the same height,
and all these are much more im
portant in the determination of cor
rect working table heights.
Then, too, there are other per
sonal characteristics which enter
the determination. Women with
large busts, large stomachs and
full upper arms have different
problems from those who are on
the slender side as their work hab
its are gauged accordingly. Near
sightedness and those who wear bi
focals and have trouble seeing what
they are doing close at hand, need
different heights than those with
normal vision.
Adjust Working Surfaces
To Various Activities
Just because the standardized
cabinet bases do not fit all the
kitchen tasks one must perform is
no reason to discard them entirely.
As a matter of fact, they are satis
factory for most kitchen operations.
The changes necessary for the other
tasks are easily made.
If you’ve really decided “to get
off your feet” and do some of the
jobs sitting down, you’re making
progress, and can start from there.
Naturally, heights,for standing are
quite different from those essential
for sitting at your work.
A kitchen with surfaces at differ
ent heights is the ideal one in which
to work. Surfaces which are high
enough for such jobs as dishwash-

ing, drying and salad making are
usually too high for such tasks as
beating and mixing, paring and
chopping, as well as carving. The
shoulders move up, and elbows
stick out at right angles, thus caus
ing both to ache.
If the natural upright posture is
good, the ear, shoulder, hip and
ankle line is almost perpendicular.
You’ll be able to move soulders
and arms freely without strain.
In this position also, with feet
slightly apart, you can move
twisting arms and hips' without
losing balance. You can pivot the
arms from the shoulders, windmill
fashion, and feel no strain. >
Here’s How to Find
Comfortable Height
The best test you can find for the
correct working height for your
self is to test those you have. If
you can stand in the same comfort
able position while you work with
out having to bend, then this is
ideal.
If you’re really interested in
making the kitchen efficient, and
safe for your health, then make a
regular project out of finding the
correct surfaces for yourself.
The equipment for such a project
is simple, indeed, and includes, of
course, kitchen equipment, namely,
a large bread or mixing board, and
pans of several different sizes
which yoii can use for raising and
lowering the surfaces.
Don’t stop at one trial. Be experi
mental and try several different
heights by blocking the board on
top of drawers, pulled open, and
also other counters that are in the
kitchen, by raising them with the
pans.
Try each task several different
times. Also try all the tasks which
you do in the kitchen, at several
surfaces, and don’t stop until you
are satisfied at the surface the
way you’ve decided is the most
comfortable for working at long
periods.
Adjust Working Heights
With Small Expense
If the sink is your low problem,
you may have discovered that a pie
tin placed under the dishpan is
the only increase In height that is
needed to make dishwashing more
comfortable. This is a good example
of how a small expenditure of
money can make much difference
in comfort, convenience and also
for the health of the individual, and
a saving of dishes.
For the sink, then, make a rack
of wood the height necessary, and
use under the dishpan. Coat the
rack with waterproof varnish to
prevent its softening and becom
ing water-soaked.
With tables in the kitchen, espe
cially with wooden odes, the job
of raising and lowering can be done
very simply. Raise the table by
using casters, swiveled wheels or
even blocks fastened to the legs.
Tables can be lowered simply
by cutting off the legs at the level
desired.
Cabinets which have working sur
faces or cupboards with tables are
treated thus: when too high, use
open drawers and place bread
boards on top of these to give
working room. If you like, have a
strong board put into the cupboard
below, the shallow drawers.
Cupboards and cabinets without
toe space can be a problem since
toe space is essential for balance -
on a straight front cupboard. Raise
the cabinet by placing under it a
frame made of 2x4’s back from
the front to allow for toe room. An
other possibility for the low cup
board ia to raise by making a false
top for the cabinet and to fill in
the space with shallow drawers.
INSPIRATION
Look To The End
C HRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY
teaches that all thought and
conduct should be controlled by the
realization that every man must
one day make a reckoning for the
way in which he has spent his life.
It is, therefore, the highest spiritual
wisdom to mold one’s life according
to standards of justice, morality and
charity incorporated in both the
laws of nature and of God.
Worthwhile success is won only
through a conscious dedication to
ends which are truly good.
The student in school works hard
and willingly accepts a disciplined
way of life because he knotfs this
is expected of him. But what most
inspires him is the knowledge that
diligence and restraint are the only
ways to attain the end he has in
mind—a happy, useful and reward
ing career in the world.

Unitarians Uphold
Clergy Exemptions
BOSTON—A resolution urging
congress to do away with exemp
tions from military service for min
isters and theological students was
defeated at the 126th annual meet
ing of the American Unitarian As
sociation here.
In another action, the delegates
censured Oscar R. Ewing, federal
security administrator, and Dr.
Elmer L. Henderson, president of
the American Medical Association.
Ihe resolution accused them of sup
pressing a Federal Security Agency
book because the AMA'head regard
ed it as socialistic.
It charged that Mr. Ewing, on the
complaint of Dr. Henderson, had or
dered the government printing of
fice to destroy 3,600 copies of “Com
mon Human Needs,” written in
1945 by Charlotte Towle, on the
ground that it contained an “un-
American’’ advocacy of state so
cialism.
The resolution called for the
book’s re-publication, stipulating
that if the government did not ac
cede, the Unitarian Association
should undertake the project.
It was reported that the book was
withdrawn after five years’ circula
tion when the medical leader took
exception to a statement that “so
cial security and public assistance
programs are a basic essential for
attainment of the socialized State
envisaged in democratic ideology.’’

Professionalism
In Church Scored
PHILADELPHIA — Dr. Franklin
Clark Fry of New York, president
of the United Lutheran Church in
America, in an address here scored
clergymen who “are suffering from
professionalism.’’
“Ministers go out today and speak
for everything under the sun ex
cept religion,” he told the annual
meeting of the United Lutheran
Synod of Central Pennsylvania.
Asserting that he had no faith in
pastors who give speeches “endors
ing anything, no .matter how good,
except the Gospel,’’ he admonished
clergymen to “purvey religion and
Christianity and know the funda
mentals of their religion.”

Term "Good"
Indefinite

Should yon tell » small child to “be good”?
Answer: There is not much point
in doing so because to a two- or
three-year-old such abstract words
as “good” have no clear meaning.
He realizes that when he is some
thing called “good” it pleases his
mother, and he wants to please her
so that she will love him, but words
alone do not tell him how to go
about it. He must be shown how to
do certain specific things, like pick
ing up his toys or letting baby sis
ter play with them and then be
praised for it. To have demands
made on him which he does not
know how to meet makes him feel
insecure and frightened.
Does a drunken man know what
he is doing?
Answer: Not always. At some
times and with some people too
much liquor may produce a mental
state known as dissociation (popu
larly called “drawing a blank”) in
which one part of their minds may
function well enough to steer them
through familiar activities like find
ing their way home, even though
their consciousness is dazed or
comatose. The simplest form of dis
sociation is the “absent-minded
ness” of the proverbial professor
and sleep-walking is another and
more dangerous one. When you
start to ^‘draw blanks,” it’s tiro* to
quit drinking.
May change of life cause paranoia?
Answer: When change of life
brings on a mental illness, either
in man or woman, this is usually of
the “depressive” type once known
as “involutional melancholia,” lead
ing to loss of interest in life, in
tense sadness and often severe delu
sions of guilt. But psychiatrists now
say that such symptoms generally
occur only in a person who has
previously had neurotic or psychotic
tendencies. On this basis someone
who had always been inclined to
feel suspicious and “abused” might
develop paranoia when faced with
the problem of adjusting to new
life-conditions.

Finding the Causes of Underweight
By Dr. James W. Barton
I N METABOLISM CLINICS, most
of the patients are overweight
and, according to the cause, ap
propriate treatment is given: re
duced food intake, more exercises,
in some cases the use of gland ex
tracts, and finally the use of ameta-
phine and dinitrophenol to increase
heat nnd melt fat.
However, all cases at the clinic
are fiot overweight; • there are a
number of cases of underweight for
which treatment is similarly pre
scribed according to cause.
If the physician referring an un
derweight case to the clinic sug
gests that there is a possibility of
early goiter, the metabolism is first
given, to determine whether or not
the thyroid gland is overactive
(goiter). If overactive to a consid
erable extent, the thyroid gland is
removed by surgery or x-ray, be
cause an overactive thyroid causes
overactivity of all the body process
es, greatly increasing the heat of
the body and preventing any gain in
fat or weight. Also, this increased
activity causes the heart to beat
more rapidly and it paay become
exhausted.
If the thyroid gland is normal yet
the patient is losing weight, a fur
ther search is made. The first step
is an increase in food intake. If
there is no increase in weight after
an increase in food, more rest and
sleep find less exercise, then an
investigation of the patient’s family
is made.
Were either or both parents un
derweight—or uncles, brothes, sis
ters? It has been found that in many
cases of underweight there is a
family tendency to leanness. In
such cases, if the patient has a good
appetite, sleeps well, and is active
physically and mentally, the meta
bolism clinic physicians advise that
no treatment for underweight is
necessary.
Another cause of underweight is
early tuberculosis. Underweights
usually have a narrow chest.
. Finally, an unsuspected cause of
underweight is what is called, alow
or low infection—teeth, tonsils,
gums, sinuses.
