FOR SUNDAY CLOSING

The ministers of the city will today
begin crusade for Sunday closing of
shows and for a better observance Of
the day in every way. From every
pulpit there will be call on the mem.
bers of the congregation to demand
the passage of an ordinance by the
city council regulating tho observance
OF the day, and If this does not carry,
recourse will undoubtedly be had to
other means to effect the desired re-
forms. So far as the shows are con-
cerned, 1t is not thought there will be
any trouble on that score. as the BIZ
Jou people have already decided not
to begin Sunday performances, and
the Gem manager is law-abiding
citizen, and before opening sought to
discover if there would be any objec.
ton to Sunday performances, and
finding none, they have been given so
lar. In this connection great many
people cannot see any harm in the
picture shows being given on Sunday
as 1t draws a number Of people who
might otherwise do worse. The per.
formances are clean and the amuse.
ment furnished can harm no one. But
religious folks look at the matter from
a different point of view and in all
probability will carry their point.

From TWO Fire MarshaIs
FIRE MARSHALL
EDWIN PETERSON
MAKES INVESTIGATION AT
OFFICE OF ToWNsLEY G.
SONS.
M. Townsley & Sons,
MINNEAPOLIS. MINI.

Minneapolis, MINI.
Gentlemen: I have made some
inquiries into the subject of
lightning rods for the purpose of
trying to find out whether a light
ming rod protects or not. Fire
mlarshals in other states have al
so made inquiries of the same
kind. And judging from the best
information now obtainable we
are convinced that the lightning
rod properly constructed gives
sure protection against lightning
under conditions close enough to
the normal to admit of being con-
sidered fair tests.
Some time ago I sent inquiries
to the secretaries of township mu-
tual fire insurance companies of
this state asking them for re-
ports of all fires caused by light
ming in their respective jurisdic-
tons, and to state whether any
buildings which were reported to
them as having been set on fire by
lightning had any lightning rods
on them at the time. In response
to this request I have had reports
of three hundred and eighty-sev-
en- fires caused by lightning in
this state during the last five
years, but not single one of
these buildings is reported as be.
ing provided with a lightning
rod.
From the laboratory expert
ments such as you showed me
upon my recent visit to your Of
fee we learn considerable about
the ways, means and prefer
ences" of electricity in it's choice
of pathways in getting from one
place to another, which unerring-
ly indicates that the theory of the
lightning rod is scientifically cor
rect.
1t does not appear from past
experience or from fire records
that the danger of lightning is
nearly SO great in the city as in
the country districts, yet / be-
lieve that the feeling of safety
induced by a good lightning rod
on building is worth more than
the cost, even in the city. And
as l am satisfied from per-
sonal investigation that you
make as good an article as any
other manufacturer In this line
you may come over and put
lightning rod on my residence at
the price agreed on when I was
over at your office.
Yours very truly,
EDWIN PETERSON,
State Fire Marshel.

GREAT SAFETY IN

FIRE MARSHAL PuRTELL OF

FREQUENT CAUSES OF
CONCENTRATIONS.
SUGGESTS THAT COMPANIES
OFFER Low RATES TO
PROPERTY OWNERS
WHO USE THEM.

"The lightning rod is a reliable
protection against the bolts of
Vulcan, but the modern red-head-
ed match is the hanrmaid of the
god of fire. So says Thomas M.
Purtell, the state fire marshal of
Wisconsin. His department has
been in existence only about two
months, but he already has gath
cred valuable statistics regarding
the origin of fires in his state.
"a comparison of the losses on
buildings which are protected by
well-constructed lightning rods
and those without such protection
shows" he says, that the rod is
a certain safeguard against light
ming. During the first twenty-five
days in which reports were receiv-
ed by my department, forty fires
occurred in the country districts,
and of those twenty-nine were
caused by lightning, entailing a
loss of $4,000. 1t would almost
seem advisable for fire insurance
companies to offer some induce
ment in the way of oliver rates to
persons using lightning rods"
