CARE NECESSARY
TO AVOID SHOCK

Electricity, like any other powerful
form of energy may be source OF
danger if handled carelessly. Even With
115-yolt current from an ordinary drop
cord, one can get severe shock II
the conditions are favorable, says l..
j. Smith, department of agricultural
engineering, Washington State College,
who describes methods OF avoiding
shocks while handling electric appli-
anceS.
Bathroom light switches should be
placed so that they can not be reached
from the bathtub. Many persons have
been severely injured or killed because
they reached up to turn on the lgnt
while standing in water, making a
perfect ground.
Always stand on a dry board or rub
Der mat while working with a live
wire. The best plan is to first pull the
switch, then as an added precautlon,
take out the fuses and put them IN
YOUR pocket. Rubber gloves should be
used if one has to work on a live wire
and the gloves should be tested ire
quently for leaks.
A severe shock acts on the heart
muscles and the beating stops. Persons
with weak hearts are more susceptible
to shock.

appliances on metallic surfaces. MOI

sPEEDBALL GAME

A game of speedball was played be-
tween the 7th and 9th grades and the
Frosh Friday. The Frosh were aided
and abetted by some Sophomore and
Juniors and came out on the long end
of a 1919 score.
This game was played so as to keep
the 18th and 9th graders in shape fol
the coming games with outside teams
Although they lost, 1t gave them some
valuable experience.

FIRE DRILL
NO. 9

Brring Bring! Bring! greeted the
ears of the students of the high school
as they entered their twelve-thirty
classes Thursday afternoon. Books,
pencils, pens were left behind while
their owners stood and everyone fell
into line heading for the doors.
The seventh and eighth graders
came down the east side stairs, the
students in the science room down the
west stairs and those in the study hall
went out the front door.
According to Mr.. Austin, the building
can be completely evacuated IN from
forty to fifty seconds. The object of
the fire drill is not so much to see how
fast the building may be emptied but
to drill the students in getting out
safely and quickly. The students are
required to walk not run, and form
into lines.
In some large schools liquid Smoke
is allowed to escape so that there will
be no panic in case of real fire.

Only Eight Weeks
Til Christmas

Just two more months remain until
Christmas, and if you would. do your
Christmas shopping early, there IS no
better way to get off to good starr
than by choosing your greeting cards
now.
Christmas cards offer an inexpensive
and satisfactory way of remembering
your friends during the holiday sea-
san and are one of the loveliest OF
Americas Christmas traditions.
The Spokesman carries several lines
of fine cards. We do not carry these
in stock but order them in lots OF
twenty-five or more, directly from FAC
tories which guarantee prompt and
efficient service. This makes dupllca-
ton improbable and you are further
safeguarded by the fact that we never
sell the same card to more than one
person in the community.
To make your greeting cards dis
tinctively your own, the Spokesman
will imprint them with your name for
a small extra charge.

AS a result of the work-relief
conference held here yesterday, it
was decided that during Deem

The President declined to state
how much of the unallocated 1880
million dollars from the 1890
million dollar fund would be given
over to WPA, but he said it would
be under TOO million in addition
to what he already has.

2. That the projects can be

4. That they fall substantially

WEST CHESTER, Pa. Sept.
10 G.N.SD.-After 80 hours in
Chester county jail where he was
held on suspicion of murder,
Henry Huddleston Rogers, jr.,
son of the late oil magnate, was
released at l p. m. today, under
bond of $4,000.

since 5 a. m. yesterday, shortly

beautiful 25-year-old Evelyn Hoey,

In spite of the distasteful ordeal

Rogers held his head high and his
