In those hours when the moon is riding high and the sun is in retirement, Mr. Kilowatt gets placed in some unusual places.
Take the modernistic lamp that stands five feet high and has long adjustable arms. For study purposes, the lamp is ideal, as it can be put between the beds, and two girls can twist 'till the light is just right.
Rosalyn Boswell, college sophomore, really calls on the old "know-how." Liking a comfortable bed, Rosis has taken a normal appearing desk lamp, tied a string around it, and tied the lamp to the coils of the bunk above her. It may swing with a strong breeze, but Rosie's vision still checks in at 20-20.
