f! The records of the agricultural de-
partment indicated that lightning
strikes far more frequently in the
east than in the west; Illinois and
Florida being most frequently struck
Yet in these States death and dam
age from lightning are almost negli-
gible.
It is extremely rare for a big wild
animal to be struck by lightning. Yet
the woods and the mountains are
peopled with moose, deer, elk, bears
and mountain sheep. Birds and
sqirrels, however, with roosts and
nests in the tree tops, and woodpeck-
ers, with homes in the trunks of trees
are occasionally killed.
A number of times in the noun
tains I have seen shafts, zigzag
flashes and sinuous golden lightning
burst out of an absolutely clear blue
sky and descend to the earth. have
also seen trees struck by what ap-
peared to be golden ball of light,
ming that rolled horizontally. On
one occasion a globe was followed
|by a number of other golden globes
that travelled slowly over the same
course.
Once, near camp, saw golden
globes and golden rivers Of lightning
playing liquid fire over high noun
tains, against the clear stars Of night
These spectacular fireworks were ac
companied with rumbling and crash
ing, as though violent thunder
storm was in progress; yet nowhere
in the sky or on the horizon wa:
there a cloud in sight.
] The only possible explanation
could make of this exhibition wa:
that beyond and below the higf
mountain horizon, and not man!
miles off, storm was in progress.

STRONG PLEA OF DR.. ANNA
SHAW FOR LEAGUE
d.. Anna Howard Shaw's Last Mes
sage to the Women Of America
Was a Plea to Support the
League Of Nations

New York, July S.-An impassion'
ed plea for support of the league OF
nations was DR.. Anna Howard Shaw's
last message to the women Of Amer
ica. DR.. Shaw took an active part In
the campaign of the league to en-
force peace in behalf of ratification
of the lelague of nations covenant
In May she made a speaking tou,
with ex-President Taft and other ad
vocates of the covenant. She was
stricken with pneumonia at Spring
field, ILL.,, when the trip was half over
In the appeal to women, which is
entitled "What the War Means to
Women" and which probably was
her last work before the relapse
which caused her death yesterday
DR.. Shaw, apparently feeling that
the end of her own life was near
wrote:
Everybody must die sometime
and it does not make as much diff
ference, perhaps, as to the number
g cc.-,s We I've as it does to the man
ner in which we live the days we do
live"
Some of the most striking SEN
tences in the appeal are:
sWhile Mr.. Wilson said we want
nothing out of the war, said in my
own heart, it may be that we want
nothing material out of the war, but.
oh, we want the biggest thing out OF
the war that has ever come to the
world. We want peace now and
peace forever
ssThe best thing that has been CIV
en- US and the only thing we have
before us is this league of nations
We have no other league of nations
We have only this one. We must
take this one or no one can tell what
will come. We have no midway
point. We have no purgatory. We
have to choose either heaven or hell
We must take it or we must reject
1t.
"Oh, we women, the mothers Of
the race, have given everything, have
suffered everything, have sacrificed
everything and we come to you nov
-and say, The time has come wheI
we will no longer sit quietly by ant
bear and rear sons to die at the viii
rof few men. We will not endure
st. We will not endure it! We de
mand that either you shall do some
thing to prevent war or that we shal
be permitted to try to do something
yourselves
~sTo you men we look for support
We look for your support back o:
your senator's and from this day unit
,:the day when the league Of nations
lis accepted and ratified by the senate
.of the United States, it should b
the duty of every man and every wo
man to see to it that the senators
from their state know the will Of thu
people; that they know that the peo
pie will that something shall be
done"

The Chevrolet Sales and
Service Sign wherever you see
it stands for Satisfying Ser

Chevrolet cars are built to
stand up under the strain and
Istress of continuous use. They
are built to serve economically
and efficiently and to last long.
Chevrolet service is based
upon the principle that the
only kind of Chevrolet owners
worth having are pleased
zones. In it's operation true ap-
probation is given to the needs
|of those who must use their
car with minimum operating
costs day in and day out every
month of the year.
AS Chevrolet dealers we
hack up every claim made for
Chevrolet cars and Chevrolet

an automobile owner you can
appreciate what this means. If
you are interested in automo-
biles you will be doubly inter-
ested in all we can offer you.

Londan, July 4.-William Hohen-
zollern, former German emperor,
will be brought to England in a
British ship and imprisoned in the
Tower of London, according to The
Dali Mail.
The death penalty will not be
sought, the newspaper points out, but
if he is found guilty, the allies ask his
banishment for life to remote is
land, following the precedent Of Ma
poleon's exile on St. Helena.
The international trial court had
intended to try the former emperor
alone, The Daily Mail says, but it is
possible that the former crown
prince, Frederick William, will also
be arraigned before it.

WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES

/ took shelter from a thunder
storm in a prospector's cabin far up
a mountain slope. Jerry Sullivan and
I stood in the open doorway watch
ing the breathing clouds over US and
the drifting clouds in the canons be-
low, when out Of an almost clear sky
came a bolt Of lightning. 1t struck
an aged fir tree and blew it as COM
pletely to fragments as though dyna-
mited from top to bottom. Splinters
and chunks of wood were showered
round us. A shattered stump two
feet in diameter and not more than a
foot high was all that remained OF
the 80 foot fir. Booming and broken
echoes of the crash resounded among
the canons.
To camouflage my feelings l turn
ed to Sullivan and asked, in matter
of fact manner:
"Why is it that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place."
Like lightning came the reply:
'sIt don't need tor
But lightning does strike twice in
the same place, though this is excep-
tional. Within one mile of my noun
tain home was Western yellow pine
that, during 80 years, was struck IA
times. It was raped three times in
a single season and twice during one
storm.
In various parts of the country l
have dissected trees and occasionally
found one that bore unmistakable
evidences of having been struck a
number of times. John Muir told me
that the head of a sequoia tree is
sometimes struck repeatedly. The
only certain thing have discovered
concerning lightning is that there is
nothing certain about it. It can not
be anticipated. It never encourages
one to predict where it will strike
next. It's strategy is of spectacular
order and it's attacks are ever a sue
cessful surprise.
F! Lightning strikes every known spe-
cies Of tree. It not only strikes trees
that stand on the SUBMITS, but ii
comes down to those that lead lowly
lives in canons. However, there are
conditions that cause tree to be
struck frequently. A tall tree of any
species is more likely to be raped or
the head than it's contemporary OF
conventional height. A tree on hill
top, being closer to the electrical
field, is more likely to be struck thar
the tree in a ravine-a lone tree
much more likely than one in grove
in fact, the one in position to in
tercept most electrical discharges
and to offer these discharges the best
local conductor into the earth is the
tree most likely to be struck.
: Then too, if a tree is shallow root
ed, or is rooted among dry rocks, in
stead of being good conductor, and
thus attracting the lightning, it is
something of an insulator or poor
