Radio and Lightning
1.-THE Standard

There seems to be no real founda-
ton for the growing fear that radio
outfits are constituting a new and
interests must take into special CON
sideration. From a careful perusal OF
insurance and other papers but two
cases have come TO our attention Of
lightning connecting with radio out
fits, one in New Jersey and one in
Iowa with some doubt as to whether
the radio had anything to do with the
former. Doubtless there may be 9TH
or instances. but here in Massachu-
sotts with thousands of radio anten-
nae rising from the roof tops. not a
single case of being struck by light
ming has been disclosed and the same
applies to all New England so far as
VIC know. The fact is the installation
Of radio outfits has so carefully fol-
lowed the explicit directions sent out
by the insurance orga nizations that
the results are mark Of Commenda
ton of the wisdom Of the public spir-
tied insurance bodies than anything
else. Properly grounded. the radio
wires serve as a splendid means Of
throwing off the static electricity or
the earth, always over charged. rath-
or than as a means Of drawing down
the static charges from the heavens
above in times Of storm. In fact, a
properly grounded radio is about the
best kind Of lightning rod" which
could be installed and no one knows
better than the amateur operator
that good ground is one Of the as
sets OF his radio outfit. 1t has al
ways been a hard thing TO get the
public to take stock in lightning rods.
Now they seem 10 have become pop
ular. even If under the disguise Of
''antennae."

TRYING INDIRECT METHODS

The effort to secure from this coun-
Try cancellation Of the Allies war
debts TO her have not ceased. They
are now working by indirection,
through suggestion that England
cancel Frances debt to her in OK
change for cancclling a good portion
Of Germany's debt to France, so far
as possible depending on what Great
Britain has to pay America. All
this is hardly supposable if Uncle
sam remains aloof from the transac-
ton. These suggestions include no
reference to the valuable mandates
secured by the Allies and are meeting
with little favor here except in the
circles that are especially involved
II European banking aud invest
mcnts. Senator Lodge the other
day. declared that while he was for
farora bic terms he was opposed to
cancellation.
There arc Of course appealing ar
guncn,s in favor of the cancellation,
especially from the viewpoint of
those like England or France or Italy
most closely involved in the threat
ching condition of Germany. Then,
too. there is something to the arGu-
mcnt that if Germany or the other
countries pay us it must be from the
profit they make from goods sold to
US, displacing goods we otherwise
might make for ourselves. They
would overlook other areas OF the
globe where profit might be and is
being made from the sale of English,
French and German goods: overlook
too, the increase in profita bic oppor-
tunltics in the future. The buying
populations arc increasing yearly, the
demands are increasing and with
these the opportunities for business
profits not comparable with those Of
lilS HltStul.
a feature Of the situation which
slould have weight is that much Of
tits money loaned and spent came
from the pockets and tiny boards of
tho people, drawn out, often a sac
rifce under the impulse to help the
country in time of war. In equity
they should have a voice in deciding
whether the obligations Of those who
received and spent the money should
be cancelled. We have no doubt the
ma lOrity would wish to make the
terms OF payment as favorable as
fairness might require, but if they
happen to be reading about the ways
III which the Allies have been spend
ing money. and in which Germany
has been seeking to cvade her obliga-
tons we may doubt their willingness
to cancel the indebtedness out of
hand and without reservations.

STANDARDlZE THE LAWS

Along some lines Of human en-
dcavor the policy Of standardizins
is, in the opinion Of some. being
overdone. We agree with that opin-
ion. With regard to uniform legis-
lation in the several states no one,
so far as We know, argues that We
should have less but that we Should
without question have more.
The convention now assembled in
San Francisco of commissioners on
uniform state laws is the thrty-
second, which is pretty good proof
that it is no brief and easy task to
secure this uniformity. This CON
vcntion is yet discussing parental
guardianship Of children, protection
of illcsitmate children, eXtradltion
of persons charged with crime and
the creation of uniform commercial
acts, concerning which there should
have been uniform procedure lorg
ago.
New phases are constantly arising,
such as the regulation of aviation,
and a measure proposed would make
dangerous flying over populous sec
tons a misdemcanor in every state.
Under this Ownership of the space
above the lands and waters Of the
state is declared to be vested in the
several owners Of the surface he
meath, subject to the right of flight"
This right Of flight it is proposed
to make lawful" unless at such low
altitude as TO interfere with the exist
ing use to which the land or water,
or the space over the land or water,
is put by the owner, or unless so
conducted as to be immincntly dan
Gcrous to persons or property law
fully on the land or water beneath"
Nothing is hcYe said about disturbing
the peace. The importance Of this
omission will he appreciated by those
who have had their contemplation,
if nothing more, disturbed by m old
clattsr bang flying machine in mo-
ton overhead on all days and at
all hours.

Evanston, H., Aug. 3.-(BN A. p.
MaiD Making a plea for cheerful
ness in CLERICAL ministration Of the

rector of st. Luke's Episcopal church
of this city, says the order for the
Visitation of the Sick, in the denomi-

and we ought to Danish it or else set
it in a different key. This doesn't
mean, we cancel the Cross or deny
the value, much less the reality of
