To Protect the Shins.

Did you ever come homerin the dart and break your shins against the furniture while groping for the electric Ugh switch? Doubtless you did. To save shins and furniture and needless pro faulty an electrical manufacturing company' has perfected a light switch that glows in the dark. The effect is secured by the inclusion of a very minute quantity of a radium compound in one of the screws of the switch. When the light is turned on by a pull chain the radium is included in the little ball on the end of the chain. Either of these devices shines like a tiny Star in a dark room.
