Obviously, 3; of a bathtub wouldn't hold water very well! That figure means merely that some 3 out of 5 American homes have bathtubs. Obviously, also, the electric figure applies only to homes that have electric service. But as a nation-wide average of all those homes, it is a fact ~and perhaps surprising to many people. Most families own more electric appliances now than they did in 1929. Over the years, as they used more electricity, they earned lower rates — and the rates, too, were steadily reduced. So — though your bill today may be as much as it was in 1929 —or even more — you're probably getting twice as much for what you pay. And remember that.the price of electricity has stayed down while most other prices are going wp. Theat makes it just about the biggest bargnin in your wartime budget! For this you can credit the electric companies, manned and managed by business people, under public regulation. Their hard work has made electrie service dependable and cheap. * Hear “Report to the Nation," outstanding mews program of the week, every Tuesday evening, 9:30, EW.T, CBS.

He expected to be stabbed or bludgeoned to death in his sleep, consequently he slept In a different room every night.
