DEATH DANGER
FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK SHOWN
Have all Die fun you want "ing
tn' in the bathtub," but If you value
jour life, dont reach for the curling
iron or electric heater.
More than 100 deaths were caused
In the United States and Canada
during the past two years from con
tact with so-caHed "low voltaire"
electric current carrying from 110
to 750 volts, according to the na
tional safety council.
"There were 56 purely industrial
fatalities In the group," the coun
cil reported, "nine mine fatalities
and four railroad tragedies. Home
fatalities ranked second to industry
with 31 deaths. Bathtub fatalities
led the domestic list with 12 deaths.
Next In Importance came fatalities
from contact while on wet basement
or earth, with seven deaths. Port
able electric appliances in the home
caused six tragedies. There were
aeveral Instances when the victims
were working under cellarless
houses with portable electric
lamps."
Bathtub cases, according to these
figures, occurcd nearly twice as of
ten as other electric tragedies in
the home. It was shown. "Most of
th? bathtub cases Involved the use
of electric heaters on which the in
sulation of the connecting cord was
defective or was handled with wet
hands," it wan said. "In one case
the curling iron provided the con
tact with the circuit. The domestic
list also included two fatalities
from electricity while the victim
was in bed.
"In one of these an electric heat
er set fire to the bed clothes and
In the other a man was found dead
wearing an electric blanket. Death
with perspiration. All the domestic
fatalities occurred at approximately
110 volts."
A need of proper types of exten
sion cords and careful malntain
ance of such cords and all other
electrical equipment, was expressed
by the council.
