23a ELECTRODE [=conductor] - returned to office = ELECT, travelled on = RODE

27a HOOKAHS [=pipes] - house = HO, well = OK, has complex = AHS

29a MICROWAVE [=oven] - note = MI, bird = CROW, stuffing in sAVEd = AVE

24a ETHIC [=rules] - race = ETHNIC, banning indefinite number = remove the N

29a mi (note) + crow + (s)ave(d)
