director of Station W-B-A-Q, the
local broadcastlng station located at
the Y. NJ. V. A. building, the chief
danger involved in connection with
radio apparatus is that resulting from
the manner in which some amateurs
put UP their aerials. One thing that
IS particularly to be avoided IS plac-
ing aerials above electric light, tele-

company's poles According to Mr..
Ferguson, the company tries to keep
in touch with all new aerials in
stalled, to see that they are not fast
ened TO the poles. This is done, he
says, both as a matter OF protection
for the company and for the safety
of the individuals installing the sets.
Tips to Fans.
Mr.. Ferguson mentioned three rules
which radio owners should follow as
an insurance of safety. These are:
Have a ground switch and keep il
closed during lightning storms.
Have a lightning arrester as pro-
lection IN case of a storm. II is not
absolutely essential. but IT is advis-
able. TO have both the ground switch
and the lightning arrester.
Don't cross other wires with your
aerials.
The matter Of lightning protection
IS one that has bothered many anna
teur wireless enthusiasts. Some OF
them have labored under the fear
that the aerial connections attract
lightning. Experts say. however
that there is nothing to he feared
from this score if the radio equu-
ment IS correctly installed and thc
proper switches included. In fact. IN

Radio Experts Glue AdUice to Lads
Installing Outfits, Assuring Safety

picked up by all who have the proper
instruments for detecting the atmos-
phertc vibrations, many amateur ra-
do fans are prone to neglect the
safeguards necessary for protecting
life and property In installing their
wireless equipment.
Guard Charged Wires.
There is little danger to be feared
from radio apparatus properly in
stalled, but serious damage and even
fatal results have been known to fol-
low improper methods OF setting up
radio equipment Although no acct
dents of this sort have been reported
in South Bend. several cases have
been reported from other places of
radio eXperimenters being killed by
foullng live wires.
Local electrical and radio experts
agree that II is better to be warned
ahead Of the time than TO explain
unfortunate consequences after they
happen, and that proper precautions
should be taken by all amateur radio
fans.

many anxious moments. | bought Bush
Terminal Building preferred.-W v. McG.
Answer--Factors combining to effect
a decline in earnings OF railroads are
the cut in freight rates on July / and
the shipments strike. Although Sep
tember net earnings Of the Missouri
Pacific show large decrease, q longer
period than g month should be con-
sidered before presumins that earning
power has been seriously affected by
general conditions. There is reason to
believe that improvement will take
place, and although your stock holding
is speculative, if you are in position
to retain your shares the possibility
of payment OF part of its accumula-
tion of dividends would seem worth
waiting for while longer.

previous to it's merger with United Re
tail Stores Company the capital stock
of Tobocco Products Corporation con-
sisted of S8,o00,0oo preferred and
S2,6oG,000 common. On June 2S, 1922,
for the purpose of efecting merger,
there was authorized 10000 shares Of
Sl00 par common stock and 493,540
shares Of newly created Glass A com
mon stock, 500 par. The Glass A com
mon stock is entitled to non-cumulative
dividends Of Z per cent, and no more,
before any dividends are paid on the
common. The interests of the com
pany are distributed among about
twenty companies IN the tobacco bust
ness. On May 81, 1922. net assets CT
the company applicable to the common
