Don't Try to Dodge Lightning

know enough not TO play golf IN a
thunder storm.
q. Is there any use IN closing
windows IN a thunderstorm
one answor.--If the lightning
were going 60 strikc there. It would
do no good. What can a window
pane do against force which can
knock down a stone wall2
Another answer. Closing the win
dow would probably help. An ex.
pertinent has shown that spark.
leaping across spark gap. which
resembles lightng, will be detected

cause hot air is a better conductor
than cold. II tho air in the house
were warmer etth outside the
lightning might be DETECTED toward
the window II it were open
@. Is it dangerous TO telephone
during A etorm?
| ono answer In city where the
wires are under ground there is no
danger az all. Whoro wires are
strung above ground. as in the
country. there IS danger.
Another answer The telephone
girls stick 10 the switchboard all
through storms. The telephones
have lightning arrcstors. which pre-
vent any sudden great charge from
reaching the receiver
Tho keynote of Il all. in tho opin-
, ION Of tho experts, seems TO he that
in the comings and going Of light.
ming man plays n small part Many
of the precautions which Il has be-
come p habit to take are born oi
! blind instinct, that secs safety ir
obvious things. whore there is really
no safety at all, But few general
itios emerge, which offer somo con
ISOLATION as being the best possible
under the conditions.
II IS generally conceded that r.
seek refuge under n tree Is mor'
dangerous than TO stay out In Tho
open. Some trees are more otter
struck than others. and ono scicn
list describes tho sycamore tree ~
The most susceptible Of all Bu
tho man who considers himself saf,
under an oak, because there is .
sycamore a few wards away. IS put
ting a sublime faith in statistics.
city dwellors are safer than coun,
try folk. Tho great high masses
of steel and masonry towering over
head offer n protection.
There are the thousand pet aver,
sions and precautions which cause
the scientific man TO smile. The
man who wears ruhhcrs to insulat'
himself may be keeping his feet dry
but he Is not warding off lightninL
any more than the old magician VIII,
burned a pinch of magic powder e
drive the devils away. Against ;
charge that can break down so pool
n conductor as air and use Il for Z
mile or more, what can avail n quar-
ter of an inch Of fabric under foot
And even II he were insulated, wha
difference would It mako II the s.,
600, 100000 volts, more or less, were
ordained to strike there? Apparent
lv, the man who puts down his um
hrella and takes wetting in th'
hope of escaping a shock is max ins
an unnecessary sacrifice Of himself

These men, like the men who or
ganized the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment and the

immensely and much loss of life is
coming from this source. Churches
and schools have been opened and peo-
pie are quartered in them. A large
number Of Mexican refugees were
quartered in the big Central high

Ten cases were reported during the
day. Coffee, soup and sandwiches
