shock, frozen" to the current carrier
and unable to let go. 1t is also danger
Gus to those who unwittingiy attempt
to free the victim and get shocked
themselves.
Presumably this phenomenon occurs
from sort of paralysis that violently
contracts the muscles of the hand
into vice-like grip, and the best
expedient, if possible. is to shut off the
current by pulling the main switch or
disconnecting the cord or fixture from
its socket, whichever is handiest at
the moment
If neither of these steps is feasible
under the circumstances. the only re-
naming hope is to try to free the
victim from the current carrier by
means of some nonconductmg imple-
ment. such as stick of wood. broom
handle. or something similar that can
be used as a lever or a bludkeon to
knock the wire or appliance from the
victims grasp.
Don't forget that direct mmsu-
lated contact with the victim may
serve merely to involve you in his
helpless predicament.
The accepted fnst-aid treatment for
electrical shock is about the same as
for drowning or other forms of asphyx-
iation artificial respiration for at least
a half-hour. This doesn't mean pump
ing the arms wildly. but means the
application of recmrent pressure on
the lower part of the back. as followed
in the prone pressure" method. If
you're not familiar with the tech
nique, ask your local Red Cross Or
Boy Scout director to demonstrate it
to you.
It's fine thing to know.

disturbing account OF some

Near Troy, New York, for example,
two youngsters. aged three and seven,

in Palm Beach the son of prominent
family met his death by wearing the
earphones of an electric ic-recording ma
chine in his bath.
In Chicago an eight year old boy
was electrocuted when he picked up
brass socket on an extension cord with
his wet hands.
In Cleveland an infant. sucking on

its brain.

Naturally. certain amount Of

but it is irrational to let fright confuse
the facts In the first place there are
less than 800 electrical deaths year
for our entire population. In the
second place virtually all deaths and
injuries involving children are due to
preventable negligence or pathetic
ignorance.
These cold facts. TO be sure. offer
shallow comfort If your child gets
mixed up with an electric current.
but at least they offer the assurance
that common sense precautions con-
stitute the best preventive Of such
needless calamit,es.
Surely it IS foolhardy to have an
electric heater or any other electrical
equipment placed so that it can be
reached by anybody in bathtuh,
juvenile or adult Certainly somebody
in the home is lax when the family
isn't acquainted with the principle
that vet hands and defective fixtures
invite trouble.
By the same token. neither children
nor electricity can be blamed when
parents allow a vacuum cleaner to

waterbury's relief load reached a peak for the years ssnce 1885 last month and about 300 more persons were on full relief than in Decem- Der, according to the report sub- mitted today by Msis Grace L. White, superintendent of welfare,
 The case load, figured on the number of families plus institu- tional cases, increased from 1897 in December, to 1,700. the highest mark since October, 1885, which was the record load of the welfare depart ment.
 Chief Factors
 Contributory factors to the in- crease of the welfare load was the December layoff by the WPA of $50 Waterbury personnel, many ot whom returned immediately to the relief rolls. More are being accredited as the wPA program is shortened by the lack of the national appropria- ton to meet the planned status Of employment by the government.

 These bills are designed to curb, or prohibit, the growth of anti-Am- erican propaganda by agents of for. eign governments seeking to weak en, or destroy our representative form of government and by the irl- troduction 10 class racial and re- ligious dissensions and animosities, divide our people into opposing fac- tions which by right should never exist in our American democracy.
 These bills in no way infringe the liberties guaranteed by our bill of rights, but do give Us the protection against foreign interference in OUT internal affairs which we have a just and i1alienable right to expect and demand.
 Every American in the state should be concerned in the passage of these bill. and urge and demand of their representatives favorable &C., tion on these measures.
 These bills are sponsored by the United Americans jointly with the Connecticut Yankees and supported by the signed petitions of thousands of Connecticut citizens calling for such legislation.
 President George H. Holmes and N. M. Bellmay of the adbisory coun- Gil of the United Americans are di- recting plans to support the measure.
