A "miscarriage of ju.<tic;?--n,»t at all, for they are victims not of a jury's verdict, but of their own or someone else's lack of knowledge. They lose their liv^s not in the electric chair but in whatever everyday pursuits. i ^electric power is a factor, and though they are guilty ol no crime, these unfortunates are just as dead as though they h»'J been strapped in the electricchair and the current turned rn. Nearly ev^ry day we read or hear about someone who ha.- committed unpremeditated suicide by ignoring the inexorable laws of electricity that separate £he quick from the dead. Recently a young woman in Chicago was electrocuted when she picked up the cord of an electric fan while mopping a floor. The cord was fiayed and the floor was -.vet -- a dead'.v combination. fcvery year a few unthinking citizens decide to enjoy the convenience of a radio, hau-dryo'" sun-lamp while taking a bath. And every .year some of them have their lives snuffed out when the appliance falls into the bathtub. For when a person is sitting or standing in water, an electric shock is hundreds of times more powerful than on a dry surfacc according to an electric system specialist of a leading insurance company. Quick thinking can orten mean ^he difference between life an.I death when electric power is running wild, Meyer says. Recently four young men in the midw^-t were riding in an automobio when . a live power-line fell across the top of the car. One by one the group Jumped clear of the car, being careful not to be in contact with the vehicle and the ground at the same time jOTiis action saved their lives, lor if they had stepped from the auto to the ground they would have been instantly killed. One of the most popular forms of home entertainment today is television -- a harmless pastime if you observe a few commonsense safety rules. First, never erect a tall television antenna close to a power line. Several deaths have occurred to date while towers were being erected. In addition, aM installed antenna could hit a power line if weakened supports give way in a windstorm. A more important precaution, and one too often overlooked, is the admonition "Don t touch tlv* back of your TV set!" Do-ityourself activities are tine in some phases of home life, b>H leave your TV set to an experienced repairman. Even when a set is disconnected and has he^n turned off for hours, there is often a , strong enough charecleft in the instrument to cause serious and even fatal shock. Meyer explained. "Electric power nas helped make America the most piosperous nation in the world." the electrical system specialist pointed out. "Pfoperly used, tlectr'- city provides us with the comfort and luxuries bur forefathers never dreamed would one day be a reality, but electricty, like the genii in Aladdin's lamp, must be controlled in order for it to be a useful and harmless se--, vant."

Color Doesn't Have to Be Bright . Members of the Women of the Moose, Mrs. Mabel Thomas, Mrs. Ethel Wolff and Mrs. Madeleine Mayfield, are being shown some of the new colored phones by Mrs. Mary Welke, service repr resentative for Illinois Bell Telephone company. Maybe we can blame it Oft the deep impression made on us by the traditional red and green Christmas decorations -- or the bright red and green crayons we treasured in our kindergarten days--'or the constant warnings we heard about watching the red and green traffic lights. But somehow too many of us have a preconceived notion about color film --a misguided idea that it should be used only when the scene is rich in tones of red or green. Most of us think about color film when the fresh greens, of spring first appear--when summer's brilliant sunshine lights; Up the dark green foliage--when autumn leaves blaze into their annual crimson glory. Not so, however, when November giv^s the nod to December--then we just let our cameras retreat into a world of black-and-white until spring rolls around again. Personally, we've always regarded this as a mistake. For there are remarkably beautiful color pictures to be made all through the bleaker months that lack the brilliant tones of other seasons. Artists have known this for centuries. That's why so many of them have given their best efforts to capturing the mauve-browns and grays of leafless landscapes, ice-blue waters and silvery snow, blue-gray crags and rockbound coasts. And the world would have missed many a masterpiece had the artist's eye not seen the tonal beauty and harmony in these softer, more subtle colorations. So, our advice to you is: don't drop your color film when the temperature starts dropping.
