FIRE HAZARDS or THE RADIO

One of the fire dangers of the RAJ
do, li=s in the inclination of those in
terested to experiment with lightning
circuits and other high voltage sys-
TENS. Not long ago three children
at Aiken, S. c., were burned to death
in d fire resulting from a short cir
cult in a radio transformed; and a
New jersey boy carelessly crossed
the leads from his storage battery
and tarted a fire that might have
become serious if il had not been
promptly detected. 1t is because Of
such dangers that the national cleo
trical code requires that all siring
be installed in a safe and sane"
manner.
This generally approved code Is
revised at two-year intervals TO keep
up with the march Of events. With
the spreading popularity ct the ra-
dio-phone, however, it was necessary
TO recently revise that part of the
code which relates TO wir less receiv-
ing and sending apparatus. The spe-
cfications were drawn up by the Ma
tional Fire Protective Association,
whose findings are viewed as stand
ards of engineering practice, on the
recommendation of the American
Radio Relay League. American Tele-
phone G Telegraph Co., Radio Cor
poration Of America and the indie
pendent Telephone Association. A
copy of the changes in detail can be
had on application to the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, 76 Will

there is no opportunity for the Glass;

prived of the right of suffrage for

voters to register?
But it is said that some voters
who are otherwise qualified will be
deprived of the right to vote in spe-
cial elections occurring before the
next registration.
What then the result? There will
be no more local option elections, and
as the great majority of the counties
and municipalities of the State have
already reached the debt limit, it is
not probable that there will be very
many bond issue elections. As some
of these elections will take place at
the general election, it will only be at
rare intervals that any bond issue
election will be held on some other
day, and the number of voters who
will be denied the right to partici-
pate therein will be enthusiastically
small A registration act that does
not afford ample time for purging the
registration before the election is
not worthy of the name, and it is
practically impossible to frame an act
that will accomplish this purpose and
at the same time not work hard
ship in individual cases.
Therefore, it seems to me that a
million voters should not be deprived
Of the benefit of a registration law,
and the State denied the right to
have pure elections, merely becaus7
an insignificant number of voters
might not have the opportunity to
vote at a special election, if per
chance it should happen that such
IN election should be called. On the
whole, l am of the opinion that the
objections to the act are so technical
and devoid of merit that they afford
no reasonable basis for declaring the
act unconstitutional"
Chief Justices Opinion.
Chief Justice Hurt, in support of
his ruling, said: "A registration
statute must be such as to give the I
elector, who is qualified to vote at (
the election, whenever it may be,
reasonable opportunity to register.
Otherwise he is denied his rights as
