How To Hammer It is little consolation after hitting your thumb violently with a ham- mer, to hear the old wise-crack, 'â- Why don't you hold the hammer with both hands?" And in any case, it s not the way the hammer is held. so much as the way the nail is held. There are. two ways to hammer a nail. One often leads to a smashe-J thumb; the other to Jjie insertion of the nail without trouble. The cor- rect way is to hold the nail with the thumb and forefinger near the head of the nail. If the nail slips, the hammer head tends to brush thumb and forefinger to one side with little damage. The wrong way is to support vm nail at the base. This results ' : injury because the thumb and fore- finger are more or less stationery egainst the surface being nailed. If the nail slips the hammer descends and smashes thumb and forefinger against a solid surface. It's illegal in .\labama to sprinkle salt on railway tracks. That's .•» heck of a way to catch a train, any- way. ♦'K'' »x~:'<":~x~:><~><~x~X":":"W":~:~:~K"X~:«»:~:~x«4~x~x«*^<~K « HONEY I; I - We will not guarantee to fill customers* con- x X tainers after Wednesday, August 24th.
