truth, purity and knowledge; and
have been used in religious rites as
far back as man can trace religion.
The "rush light" was among the
earliest form of the candle. Rushes,
or reeds, were dipped in grease, the
reed acting as the wick of this crude
pref Christian era candle. The bees
wax candle, the first real candle, is
mentioned by Roman writers of 300
A.D. This was followed by the tai
low candle.
Early in the 18th century, when
whaling became one of the worlds
great industries, the sperm candle
came into being. Made from white
waxy substance found in the head
cavity of the sperm whale, the
spermacite candle weighed one-sixth
of a pound, and burned 120 grains
an hour. 1t became a principal
source for candle power.

sure no metallic contact is made
with live metal of sockets.
Use only approved extension cords,
where such appliances are necessary.
Use non-combustible materials
around the base of the tree. Do not
use cotton. If practical, mount the
tree in a pail of water, to keep it
fresh and prevent drying out which
makes it more infammable.
Outdoor Decorations
For outdoor decorations the M
spectors recommend:
Use only sets designed for out
door display.
Exercise care in handling equip
ment to avoid shocks. Don't connect
wires of lighting circuit until install
lation is complete. Ii readjustment
is necessary, turn off the circuit first
Mount lamp sockets downward SO
rain and snow cannot enter, as water
is conductor of electricity.
Use approved, rubber-sheathed ex-
tension cords, not brass-shelled
sockets.
Do not use asbestos insulated
cords, such as used on heating ap-
pliances, for outdoor connections.
Christmas trees contain natural
resin which ignites easily and, when
decked out with infiammables such
as cotton and paper, may catch fire
from a spark from an electrical cord
or electric toy, the inspectors said.

Warning Issued On Safe
Christmas Tree Lighting

Safe lighting of Christmas trees
and proper installation and adjust
ment of both indoor and outdoor
lighted decorations are particularly
important this season when because
of shortages of electrical equipment
during the war and thereafter, many
old lighting systems are still being
used.
Danger of fire and shock from
poorly insulated or improperly ar
ranged electrical decorations is a
common hazard at the holidays,
where Christmas celebrations with
trees and decorations may be plan

Inspection Advised
The following precautions and in
spection are advised for indoor
decorative lighting:
Inspect lighting sets for broken
sockets or damaged insulation.
Test lamps in sockets to make
sure no live metal is left exposed
to cause short circuits.
Be sure insulation is intact where
wires enter sockets. If insulation
slides back and forth, a short cir
cult is possible.
If tinsel refectors are used, be

Sports in Shorts

Long layoffs over the Christmas
holiday season came as welcome re-
spites to Coaches Kent Cotterman
and A. C. Burcky, with the hope that
the vacation period might prove ben
efficient to their high school and col
lege cage teams, by giving injuries
and illness a chance to clear up -.
In their final games before the holi-
day recess, both teams were not up
to their normal strength, and the
hard schedules Immediately ahead in
the new year will demand that the
two outfits be at peak form
Bluffton High this week is sport
ing new trophy, emblematical OF
the Western Buckeye league grid
iron championship won last fall by
the Pirates undefeated football
team The handsome trophy,
Buttons second in league gridiron
play, is on display in the window of
The Citizens National Bank. :.
Bluffton Highs future prospects
are more of a question-mark than
those of the college, for the hope of
continuing at an unbeaten clip to
great extent apparently hinges a
round how long Star Forward Neil
Schmidt will be benched with knee
injury Altho unable to play a
gainst Arlington in tilt last week,
there is hope that Schmidt will be
ready for the next scheduled contest
with Celina, at that place, on Janu-
ary 3 However, there is no real
assurance that Schmidt may return
to the lineup at that early date, and
the teams future ultimately may be
largely dependent on how the trick
knee responds to treatment -.
1t was a case of just too many
colds when Bluffton college lost to
Ohio Northern Immediately before
the Christmas holiday, and Coach
Burcky was glad of the chance for
his proteges to regain top physical
form during the layoff y. Afflicted
on the night of the contest were
Center Raber and Guards Roger
Howe and Leichty There is every
chance, however, that the colds will
be shaken off over the holidays and
that the Beavers will be back in peak
form for their next start, contest

experienced players who know what
to do, and more important, how to

first-class candidates who can keep

BLESSING ON THE DAY
/ FOUND RHU-AID"-HER
RHEUMATIC PAINS END!

One lady recently took RHU-
AID three days and said afterward
that she never would have believed
such a wonder medicine" existed.
She says she couldn't raise her left
arm more than a few inches. Rheu-
matte pains afflicted the muscles OF
her shoulder and arm. She could
hardly move the fingers on her left
hand. Now this lady's rheumatic
pains are gone since she got REU-
AID and she says she can use her
left arm as we'll as her right, in
fact, she says she simply blesses
the day she got this medicine and
she feels like an altogether differ
ent woman.
RHU-AID is the new liquid for
mula containing three valuable
medical ingredients. These Three
Great Medicines, all blended into
one go right to the very cause of
rheumatic and neuritic aches and
pains. Miserable people soon feel
different all over. So don't go on

Chromium Plating

The commercial application OF
chromium plating is due to DR.. Colin
Garfield Fink, metallurgist and re-
search engineer, who converted lab
oratory experiments into CONNER
cial practice about 1922. He obtained
U. S. Patent 1851, 1873 on April 20.
1926. DR.. Ftak points out that chro-
MUM plating had been attempted
prior to 1922 but no one had discov-
cred the reason why the plate could
not be reproduced at will. His dis
covery was 1.-The catalytic agent nec-
essary to carry out chromium plat
ing commercially. The first applf-
cation of chromium plating to wrist
watches was sometime in 1928,
being one OF many numerous appli-
cations of the process and not
