Part 2 — Rubber Bumper on a Water Faucet

Reading edition

Sometimes a dish is broken by striking it on the faucet. This is easily remedied by cutting a rubber washer from a rubber-boot heel with a sharp chisel and a hammer. The washer is pushed into place on the end of the faucet, and the dishes may strike the rubber without being broken.—Contributed by Harriette I. Lockwood, Philadelphia, Pa.
