TO BE PREPARED

world against lightning are steam
lengines and railroad coaches. No on,
has ever been struck by lightning
aboard train.
! Likewise, the business part of city
is never struck by lightning. Sky
scrapers are never hit. Insurance
companies never experience losses
from lightning striking building
with metallic sides or of which the
Framework is iron or steel.
A steel battleship is also safe; so is
steel windmill tower.
| The reasons for the above is that
every one of these objects is "by ma
ture" huge lightning rod. They
conduct electricity from the air to the
ground without spark OF resistance.
But lightning will strike country
house or a house in the outskirts of
town. 1t likes to hit barn, church,
school house, tree, stack, or animal
especially if the latter is near wire
fence.
There's the rub! Most people are
in houses when the lightning strikes!
In a house, the safest place in a
lightning storm is in an iron or brass
bed. It is especially dangerous, how
ever, to stand near such bed, be-
cause you are taller than the bed. The
reason one is safe lying in bed is be-
cause the beds head and foot extend
above your head. The current will
not leave the bed to go through your
body. While lying in bed, the walls
and floor of the room may be ripped
to pieces, but you will be safe as
long as you lie still in bed
No kind or amount of bedding Or
covers in the bed will help you un.
less they lie on a metal bed. A bed
of wood, but having springs of stee!
is a combination that can result in
tie wood of the bed being split in
pieces but the steel remained UNI
and in such a case, if you are
lying On the steel springs, you may
be harmed and you may not. Steel
or iron Or brass bedsteads are the
absolutely safe ones.
In the day time, the safest part of
he house is the center of the room,
provided there is no stove near you.
1t makes absolutely no difference
whether doors or windows are open

The principle of safety from light
hing is to have all metal around you
higher than you are. Lightning will
hen be attracted to these, and will
Jay no attention to you if you are
over. That explains why you can't
get hurt in metallic bed, yet stand
! chance of being killed if you are
erect alongside of ore.

TURKEY WILLING
that FOOD REACH
The ARMENIANS

Washington, Sept. 15.-The Turkish
government, in communication re-
ceived today at the state department,
consents to the shipment of relief
supplies from the United States to
famine sufferers in Syria. The &C
ton reverses the previous attitude OF
Turkish officials, who had refused two
urgent pleas CT the United States to
make such shipments. Syrian and
Armenian relief societies in the United
States have contributed large quantl-
ties of supplies, and these will be
forwarded at once.
Department officials regard Tur-
keys action especially opportune,
since October 81 and p have been
designated in a proclamation by Presl-
dent Wilson as relief days for raising
further funds for supplies for Syrians
and Armenians.
