Last week we carried in this
column a list of •‘Shocktng''
Home Hazards. Let us continue
with this thought also this
week.
First, let us think for awhile
on * ‘ I mp r o p e r l y Located
Electrical Fixtu'es, or use
of appliances near water fau-
cets, such may cause serious
shock or electrocution. A per-
son can reach up and turn on
the light while he holds on to
the water faucet a thousand
times perhaps without ill ef-
fect. But if a “short" develops
in the metal socket holding the
light, he will receive a severe
shock which may prove fatal.
No electric outlet or application
should be near or used when a
person is in a bathtub, became
the water -** niakes a
perfec-t/fcround. The overloading
ol circuits may cause fires, or
it may lead to the installing ol
Oversize fuses or pennies in the
place of fuses. All power-driven
household appliances, such as
washing machines, heating
equipment, etc. should be well
“grounded."
The hazard occurs when the
motor “shorts-"out” into the
frame of the machine. The ope-
rator, who might be standing in
water would receive an unex-
pected and possibly fatal shock.
More "shocking’’ Home Ha-
zards next week. When using
electricity never take jjuqhaiice.
Always think clearly what you
are doing, knowing at all times
the wiring and connections are
right. If in doubt call an ex-
perienced electrician for safety’s
sake.

What To Do
In a Tornado
• People In open country
can view the approach of a
tornado and move at right
angles to its path. If there is
no time to escape, lie flat in
the nearest depression, such
as a ditch or ravine.
• In towns or cities, seek
shelter Inside, preferably in
a substantial building. Stay
away from windows.
• The southwest Corner of
the bnsement of a frame
houae is safer than in a brick
or atone house. If there is no
basement, lie down on the
first floor under a table or
bed (preferably in the south-
west corner).
• Urban schools: Stay in-
side, away from windows;
remain near an inside wall
on a lower floor. Avoid audi-
toriums and gymnasiums.
• Rural schools of frame
construction: Teachers
should remove children to a
ravine or ditch If storm shel-
ter la not available.

OILSEED MEAL SUPERIOR
In Oklahoma Experiment
Station feeding trials, steers
fed a urea-molasses supple-
ment fortified with bone meal
and trace minerals gained sig-
nificantly less than those fed a
straight oilseed meal. These
workers reported: "In terms of
rate of gain and feed efficien-
cy, the use of a urea-molasses
mixture to supply all the crude
protein for fattening steers was
not justified. It would appear
that the use of urea-molasses
mixtures now being sold com-
mercially in this area as the
foie protein supplement for fat-
tening cattle is unwise.”
