Show EOY'S SUGGESTION ALL RIGHT Thirteen-Year-Old Had Remembered What He Had Been Taught About Electricity. The family washing was going through its regular Monday electric washer route. Incidentally, the basement base-ment was damp, because there had been no furnace fire. When the lady of the house started to wring the clothes she found an electric current in the water, due to a short circuit in the motor. After several attempts to wring the clothes before the current got in its work, she was about ready to give up anil wring them by hand. "Shucks, mom," said thirteen-year-old Harry, who knows all about Edison Edi-son and Franklin, "I'll bet if you put on your rubbers, so the current can't go on out of your body you won't get a shock at nil." And when "mom" tried his suggestion sugges-tion she found the embryo electrician knew what he was talking about, for she worked in safety while wringing the rest of the clothes. |
