avoided the economic shock which has been felt in England and Amer ica, when the huge war armies were suddenly demobilized to an insignifi- cant p~ace footing.
 In jI5tice to France, however, it should be pointed out that a large standing army has been the rule for the last forty years, and 1t is thus normal that over half million men should be removed from economic life and kept in barracks at the ex- penso of the nation.
 The increase in the govern m enta1 bureaucracy is still another faotor in the employment situation. According to critics, the civil service is honey combed with structures.

While the reconstruction of these regions Is going on with such infinite slowness as to be a continual tax on the patience of the inhabitants, the building that is being done is sufn- ctent to keep practically everybody in that part of the country employed. It also has stimulating effect on general business conditions, which are much more favorable in France than across the Channel.
 One important factor in keeping down the unemployment totals is na- tiona1 conscription. The standing army of France is now over S0OOOO men, 600,0 of which are conscripted from the native population. By re- taining this huge army France has

HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL
II Properly Done It Really Protects
the Property From
Lightning.

Generally speaking, acriaIS do not
attract lightning. but they do store up
atmosphcrical electricity, and, OF
course this condition does create a
hazard. However, when the aerial IS
properly grounded It then acts aS Il
lightning rod and really protects the
property from this electrical hazard.
Briefly, the fire underwriters require
that the aerial be grounded when not
in use by a copper Wir" NO smaller
than T.. s. Gauge No. + or larger, and
run said wire rs directly aS possible
to the utSidc ground.
This means that water, Gas or steam
pipes inside the property cannot be
used for lightning ground, because
If eyer this ground was called into
service there is Il possibility shat fire
and loss of life may result. 50 do not
use inside grounds for lightning pro
