EASIER FOR THE DISABLED.—The door-handles shown in this photograph will be tried at Mount Vernon Hospital, near London, to find which would be of the most help to persons suffering from arthritis and other disabling complaints. Miss Kay Searle (left), the occupational therapist in charge of a hospital bungalow fitted with furniture aids, says that not every item need be specially designed.

The bungalow project was set up jointly by the Central Council for the Disabled and the British Rheumatism and Arthritis Association.
