Plano Records.

To enable an owner of q player pr
ano to make his own records, an Ohio
inventor has perfected simple ma
chine which allows such work to be
done rapidly in the home by anyone
who is at all familiar with music. The
device not only lessons the cost Of q
record, but also makes 1t possible to
obtain exactly what Is wanted. since
1t is within the power OF the operator
to set a selection in whatever key he
wishes when perforating q roll. The
device consists essentially Of punch
Ing instrument that slides along a
scale. so divided as to correspond with
the apertures in the tracker board OF
the player piano. and cuts slots Of the
required lengths. The roll of blank
paper IL inserted at the back OF the
machine and fed across a platen plate.
Guiding members at each si6e and
grips at the ends serve to track the
paper properly and prevent It from
wrinkling. As the punching is done the
paper is moved forward and wound on
Q roll at the front of the machine.

NON-SKID PAYMENTS

Washington, Dec. 27-How to make
the modern highway skidproof is an
engineering problem to which the Ma
tional Motorists Association is going
to direct its attention this coming
year. The number of automobile ac-
cidents accompanied by fatalities which
can be attributed to slippery pave
ment surfaces has been sufficient In
past years to make solution of the
problem imperative. y
An announcement just made public
says in part:
s'Thus far the problem of construct
ing and maintaining smooth nom
skid road has baffled the skill Of the
engineer. The only non-skid pave
ments in the country today are those
constructed of brick or blocks of gran
tie.
"a concrete roadway can be made
non-skid by scarifying or roughening
the surface before the top finishing
hardens, but experience shows that It
will not stay non-skid. Earth, waste,
oil drippings from traffic, all fill up
the creyices in short order with the
result that the road is soon without
the non-skid feature"
Feeling that the time has come
when the utmost in skill and science
should be brought into play in build
ing American highways, the National
Motorists Association intends to CO.
operate to the fullest extent A
study will be made to determine
whether concrete and asphalt surfaces
can be made as skid-proof as brick or
granite block.

OUR CRAZY NEWSPAPERS
Robert Toole in The Kablegram

The Rockford Star, which is typical
of the hick dailies of the middle west,
in commenting on Follette's victory
in Wisconsin says:
"LaFollette was opposed by all but
two of the forty-fiye newspapers in
Wisconsin. -. Had the press been
seeking some expediency upon which
to win an election, some of them would
have turned over to the popular side.
......T That they did not do so is to
their credit"
! And that is what is the matter with
the hick dailies-the owners and edit
ors believe their judgment far super
ior to that of the people, Lincoln's
opinion to the contrary nevertheless
be hanged. ts
Every great newspaper in the Unit
ed States won its high position be-
cause it was q fighting paper-but it
was a fighting. paper in behalf of the
people. No paper ever won distinction
by fighting back at the people. Yet
that is the attitude of the press of
American today with few notable ex-
ceptnions editors are fighting the
public as though it were man mob
The people sensibly resent it. That
is why LaFollette made monkeys of
every newspaper in his state. He
stands squarely for the common peo-
pie; he responds to public sentiment
Just as servant of the people should ;
he believes that if the people rule they
ought to get what they want. So, the
people stand by LaFollette, and slap
the insolent hick press to sleep on pri-
mary day.
American has too many editorial
writer's. who know nothing about that
one great fact upon which the Repub-
lie is built-that the people do in truth
own the government and they viii be
heard

Almost without exception, high ex-
piosives are composed of some organic
substance, which means some form OF

out nitrogen, which is the chief In

said that there can be no explosives.
Yet by paradox nitrogen Is one Of
the most inert gases known and the

Possibly its explosive value arises
from this very inertness: It combines

EXPERT ADVICE ON RADIO}
No. 9l.-Your Antenna and Lightning
BY EDGAR H. FELIX.

Lightning, like other dangers we
face. appears worse than it is. OF
course, the probability of danger has
been well advertised, from the stand
point of public safety. Fear disap-
pears, however, with knowledge of
the facts And the facts that relate
to the possibility of lightning strik-
| ing an antenna are of two groups
facts of experience and facts of
science.
! As to facts of experience. after
twenty years of radio experimental
ord Of antenna being struck by
lightning. 1t is nonsense to attribute
to radio antenna the power to at
tract or change the course of light
ming discharge of billions of volts
and millions of amperes.
Here are few scientlfc facts:
Most visible lightning discharges take
place between clouds of different
potentials. II every flash seen dur
! in the form of a direct discharge, a
! thunderstorm would invariably be ac-
companied by tremendous damage.
! But instead of this, most of the
charges gathered on clouds are dis
sipated through continuous stream
/ of leakage between the earth and the
clouds. Nature. with her usual fore
sight. always accompanies high
this way. she punctures the insula-
! ton of air between the clouds and
/ the earth by a continuous stream of
minute conducting bodies. each high
ly charged.
! Some of these bodies continually
/ discharge through the antenna sys-
TEN. as is evidenced by that unpleas
| ant noise which we call static Thus
Evening star., 1922-08-29

| like electrodes of the. arrester gap
Against an actual discharge-that Is
! lightning striking al particAtaf
place-there is no real protection
possible. Lte
In planning lightning ectjen
make certain that your antenna Is
protected by grounding devHe-
This protects you against damage ef-
casioned by any discharge taking
place through the antenna, either bf-
cause of natural leakage or because
of indirect cloud discharges and
lightning discharges nearby. BY
having the grounding device prop
erly installed the insurance on spGr
property is protected =
A radio set that is properly Sec.np
with antenna and with ground cos
uections made in the correct way
affords better protection agaiDst
lightning than if il were not install
ed There is absolutely no Justiffcs-
ton for the hysterical fear that a
radio installation will draw" light

its charge.
A thunderstorm, then. clears away
the charges on the clouds in two
ways, first, by continuous stream
of charged raindrops and conducting
ions, and. second. by direct dis
charges. such as take place between
the electrodes of a spark gap. The
latter is usually preceded by a col
lection of charges from nearby
clouds until sufficient potential has
been collected by some one cloud to
break its way directly to the earth
through a space Of from one and a
half to two or more miles.
An electric charge sufficiently strong
to break through space of that
distance is of such intensity that
its course is Influenced very slightly
by the relatively small attraction of
a piece of antenna wire. Moreover, a
grounded antenna is at the same
potential as the earth itself.
The actual ionized path established
by a direct cloud discharge is at the
most but a few inches in diameter
Evening star., 1922-08-29
Surrounding this ionized path of di-

Surrounding this ionized path of di-
rect discharge. there is large ac-
companying discharge, perhaps sew
eral miles in area. This entire area
Is Influenced by the terrific current
grounded by the lightning discharge.
Sensitive receiving sets are greatly
affected by this for several miles
around-perhaps anywhere within a
radius of scores of miles. 1t is
against this sympathetic discharge
that we must take our main precau-
tions.
The lightning arrester dissipates
such charges with certainty and
safety, even though the antenna is
not grounded. and so forms actual
protection. similar to that of the
time-honored lightning rod.
The lightning arrester is safety
gan designed with such electrodes
that charge on the antenna of over
500 volts is grounded with the
greatest possible facility. whenever
a charge Of sufficient spark dis
charge takes place across the toot-
