you engaged in any hazardous bust

Does your business make it neces-
sary for you to handle loaded firearms
or weapons of any kind?"

crowds-for instance, at riot or
fire?"

Empty spools.

Never throw away empty cotton
reels: they have a hundred uses. In
most kitchens there is a row of nails
on which aprons and dishcloths are
hung, with the result that they are
frequently torn and rust-marked. This
will be prevented IL you force on each
nail one of your empty reels; nothing
could make a more useful peg.
A spool will make an excellent stop
to prevent the door from opening too
far and banging the furniture. Cover
the spool with thick cloth to prevent
its injuring the varnish of the door
and screw it firmly to the flooring in
the position required.
Often enough one finds the door OF
. cupboard provided with no better
means Of opening than a keyhole
You can make an effective knob by
screwing on another of those ever-use
eul spools.
