WOMA N’S PAGR, Study of Household Mechanics BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER With the constantly increasing num- ber of electric devices that are being used to simplify housework it is impor- tant to know some little ways of keep- ing them in order. or of restoring them to urefulness, provided the trouble is but slight. 1 heard one homemaker say re- are limits to the lamp socket you try to run a device above t| ber of watts (660 lamp socket you are liable to burn out a fuse, Every homemaker knows how inconventent i this proves. Unless there is more than one electric circuit in a house or an apartment all the power is shut off un- til the fuse is replaced. A little care will prevent this occurrence, When a fuse blows out the safety valve is working. It it did not blow out when things were wrong the wires would be likely to get hot and then the trouble would be more serfous. Be sure that the same size fuse is replaced when one burns out. A larger one will not burn out so quickly. but it may cause over- | heated wires when trouble occurs with {the mechanism of some device being used. Cords to electric devices should be {kept in good condition. Replace cords | that are worn or that have slight abra- 1sions. It is cheaper to replace the cord { that begins to be worn than to have it | cause the vacuum cleaner, the coffee | percolator. the toaster or any device 1o | refuse to work. To be sure, the matter of fixing things right again is slight. but why se yourself the inconvenience of it at all?> Avoid any such trouble by watching the electric cords and replace | worn ones before they actually break. One should remember never to let | metal come in contact with a live wire. {tu~h as t .at on a toaster. when the heat |is on. I have seen persons use a knife just a piece of toast, permit the metal to come in contact with the wire and blow out the fuses of several households in the same bullding.
