WHAT TO DO IN
"A THUNDER STORM

If you are out OF doors in very
Severe electrical storm, it is we'll to
observe the following rules for your
own protection:
/. Keep away firm wire fences.
They may carry dangerous electri-
ca charge long distances. Cattle in
pastures are frequently killed from
the neglect of farmers to ground the
wire Of fences.
l. Keep away from wire fences.
and streams.
8. Keep away from isolated trees.
Oak trees are frequently struck
beech are seldom struck. 1t is safe
in dense forest.
a. Keep away from herds Of cattle
and crowds Of people.
5. Do not hold an umbrella over
you.
6. 1t is safer to sit or lie down in
an open field than to stand.
:. Drivers should dismount and
not stay close to their horses.
s. Do not work with any large
metal tool or implement.
| If you are indoors:
1. Keep away from the stove and
chimney. The hot gases from the
chimney may conduct the lightning
to and down the chimney.
2. Do not take a position between
two bodies of metal, as the stove and
water pipe, for example. An excep'
ton to being near metals is the case
of an iron bed. One of the safes'
places son a mattress in an iron
bed, provided you do not touch tnt
metal. The metal surrounding you
makes a safe cage which will pre-
vent the lightning from reaching
person inside.

Democrats Opposed
To Merit System
For Postmasters
Burleson, Say Some of Them,
Urges Passage Of General
Law Next December

Washington. March S.-More than
fifty Democratic Congressman already
have voiced opposition to the Pres
ident's coming order for a modified civil
service to govern appointments Of all
first, second and third class postmast-
ers. Postmaster General Burleson was
quoted by some Of them to-day as sug-
costing they might find a remedy By
passing general law covering the
whole situation when Congress meets
in regular session next December.
There was talk at the Capitol to-
day that when the Post Office appropri-
alton bill was considered at the mex;
regular session, an attempt would BE-
made to add rider to provide that no
money appropriated in the bill should
be used for payment Of postmasters
appointed under such conditions.
Speaker Clark commented upon Mr.
Burleson's present practice of appoint
ing the highest man on the civil service
list in filling fourth class postmaster
ship vacancies.
ITO my mind" he said. that raised
more Cain in politics than anything
else, and it is one Of the main reasons
why the next House is so close. People
