HOME SAFETY
SHOULD BE
GUARDED
Council Issues Bulletin Citing
Dangerous Practices Com
mon in Most Houses

Cuts are so common that parents
need to be careful about leaving
sharp, dangerous articles around
the house where the children may
find them. says the National Safety
Council in a bulletin issued today
Sharp shears, tools, razors and
carving knives should be kept out
of the reach of little children.
Boys and girls should be encour
aged to form the habit of taking
care of wounds and should be told
why 1t 10 wise to put Iodine on
even q slight cut. In schools
which ale visited daily by school
nurse, the pupils come to her af
a matter of course, without the
slightest hesitation.
Dangerous practices that cause
serious cuts may be summarized as
follows:
/. walking or running with
knife or scissors In hand.
2. Carrying things in the mouth
while playing.
S. Handling articles with sharp,
edges.
4. Putting sharp knives in
drawer with other kitchen uten-
sils.
s. Pushing against the glass
part OF a door.
s. Exposing the eyes by careless
play with sharp pointed articles.
Most falls are due to careless
ness on the part Of individuals Or
to lack OF proper facilities. Thus
falls down stairways result from
the lack of q handrafl, the presence
OF sharp turns or narrow treads.
Falls may be due to tripping over
articles left on the steps or slip
ping on wet or greasy steps.
Cellar stairs are frequent menaces
In the case of narrow treads.
sharp turns and lack Of hand
rails. Such stairs should be rebuilt
or remodelled to to make them safe.
Falls on stairsways and in other
obscure places can frequently be
avoided by better lighting.
In city homes provided with gas
or electric service suitable lighting
fixtures can be installed.
Polished Floors Cause Falls
Falls are also caused by slipping
on polished floors either bare or
covered with small, loose rugs,
slipping in soapy bathtubs or slip
ping on wet or icy porches or out
side steps. Rubber heels, unless
of the anti-slip type, offer little pro-
tectioE on slippery pavements.
Particularly objectionable are small
rugs ar the top or bottom OF stairs.
since in such places persons step
with considerable horizontal thrust.
Danger from loose rugs can be
obviated by fastening them to the
0oor.
Many persons have been killed
by falling in bathtubs which may
have become quite slippery when
the bottom is soapy.
