A joint committee of the Chicago
Woman's Club, the Womans City Club
and the Association of College Alum
nae has reported that the large mum
bers OF girls who at the age of II or
Whereabouts, leave school to go to
work, without special training of any
sort, constitute menace to the pub
lie" inasmuch as many of them drift
into an immoral life, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. Half of them. it is
said, become idle, while those who
are employed are poorly paid and have
but slight chances of advancement.
With the natural craving of the young
Tor amusement, gayety and fine
clothes, they soon find temptations to
which many succumb. The conclusion
of the committee is that such girls
should be wards of the state. There
are formidable difficulties in the way
of carrying out this idea. Proven
tive measures offer more promise of
success. More vocational schools for
special training, proper employment
agencies, more amusements of an in.
nocent nature, moral instruction and
the suppression of vicious resorts
would do much in the way of pre-.
vention. At bottom the problem is

VANISHING LIGHTNING ROD.


The death of John Cole, authority
on electrical phenomena and pioneer
in the lightning-rod business, calls at
tention to the undoubted fact that hui
mainly is not so fearful of lightning
as it was generation ago. The light
ming rod is vanishing These deflec
tors of electrical current are practical
ly unknown in the cities, says the St
Louis Republic. Once in a long while
you see farmhouse with a few rusty
streaks of iron running down from
the rooltree to ground under the
caves. Inquiry usually develops the
fact that these have been in place for
20 years or more. The lightning rod
agent has vanished with his wares.
He is no longer a subject for the joke
smith dealing with rural themes. That
clause in the insurance policies that
protects against fire, lightning, wind
storms and tornadoes" seems to have
taken the place of the platinum-tip
rod that used to stud the roofs of the
fearful and the prudent There are
thousands of farmers and business
men who never met a lightning-rod
agent. Certainly the electrical cur
rents are just as dangerous to life
and property as they were when the
lightning rod was a staple article of
commerce. More lives are lost, more
live stock is killed and more buildings
are burned by these discharges now
than in the past, as the country is
more thickly populated and the
chances are greater.

The steel tower at Nauen, Germany,
blown down by the windstorm of two
months ago, is to be rebuilt. It will be
Sl213 feet high, which is midway be-
tween the height of its comparatively
insignificant predecessor and that of
the Eifel tower at Paris. When the
new station is in working order the
Germans expect to establish direct
communication by wireless with the
United States. Every new wireless
station increases the likelihood that
wireless messages sent broadcast will
not fail to be received, and increases
the likelihood of relief for ships in
distress.

At the present time National banks
arc forbidden to make loans on real
estate security, but under the new bill
this restriction will not only be re-
moved so the banks can loan money TO
farmers but provision will be made
whereby farmers can secure loans on
their crops before they are even har-
vested. This plan is in operation in
Germany, France aud Belgium and
other European countries and has added
wonderfully to the prosperity of the
