to drive again Eight months later the Registrar assembled
their records The 500 had driven an aggregate of
than 325OOOO miles in that period Not of them had
become involved in serious accident Only three of them

shocks will not be received even
though hands are wet, but just for
safety's sake, it is good practice to
dry the hands before handling ap-
pliances connected to the circuit. To
make sure that this rule is followed,
the best plan is to avoid using ap-
pliances in locations where water
exists, such as close to the bath
tub or very close to the kitchen
sink. The general rule should be to
use appliances far enough away
from water faucets SO that one can
not touch the faucet or the water,
and the appliance at the same time.
Electric fixtures in bathrooms,
which are within arms reach, should
be of porcelain or other insulating
material. The handles of wall
switches, the cover plates for such
switches and the cover plates for
convenience outlets should also be
of insulating material. Pendent
sockets made of insula ting materials
are preferable to the metal types
in damp locations or in the vicinity
of water.
Moist Easements, cellars with
earth floors and underhouse loca-
tions generally are places where
care should be taken in the use of
electricity. Even in dry easements
there is frequently a quantity of
grounded metal present in the form
of pipes, wash tubs, heating equip
ment, etc., around which care must
be observed. Under-house locations
frequently are not properly lighted,
and when good light is necessary,
extension cords must be resorted to.
1t is worn out and improperly as
sembled cords which are responsible
for the occasional accidents which
occur.

Avoid Shock Hazards

Nearly everyone at some time has
received slight shocks from electri-

Under particular circumstances,
however, shocks can be dangerous
and 1t is important to keep these
circumstances in mind and to avoid
them.
The amount of shock one receives
when he touches a piece of defec-
tive equipment depends upon how
good his contact is and the path of
the current. When hands are wet
the contact is much better than
