EXPERT ASSERTS LIGHTNING RO } {
 STOP FIRE LOSSES
Underwriters Association De- clare Safety Device Would
 Lessen Danger

NEW YORK, July 21.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Property owners throughout the country are urged to equip their buildings with lightning rods by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, which today declared that S9 per cent of the fires caused by lightning could thus be pre- vented. The losses by fire caused by lightning total S30,0O0, 900 annually.
 A widespread indifference to this form of protection exists however. due to the swindling methods em- ployed by lightning rod dealers in the past, and the fact that 1t is highly difficult to obtain an expert who can determine whether or not in- stallation has been correctly done.
 o O o
 Efficiency Proved.
 Careful research by electrical au- thorities including pr. Charles P steinmetz of the General Electric company and Thomas A. Edison have proven conclusively the effi- ciency of the lightning rod as safety device. the underwriters de- clare.
 To guarantee property owners that their lightning rods have been properly installed and are protec- tion instead of menace, the Board of Fire Underwriters has adopted a plan whereby representative or their organization inspects all ln- /stallations in his district, and affiXes a master labep' to the work If IT proves worthy.
 Insurance companies will grant reduction of insurance for lightning rods. in states where reductions are allowed. only on those 4.!dings where the master label is attached along with the Identification tag or the company which made the 1nstal- lation," the statement declares.
 O O O
 Provide Laboratory.
 Laboratory service will be provided by the fire underwriters. where ma terials submitted by lightning rod companies will be tested for certl1l- cation. The master label will be at tached to the work of only those companies which maintain an inspec- ton service along with their installa ton service, the underwriters nave ruled. No lightning rod company IS barred from this laboratory servlce;
 The adoption of the master lapel system will mark an era in prevent ing loss of property and life through lightning, the fire underwriters state' and for the first time standardlze lightning rod installation. The sys- tenn will cover the entire Unlteu States and Canada.

 Through these indirect sources of getting a job you will probably do no mere than to establish con tacts, to let others know that you are in the field and seeking a new connection. Do not despise these in direct sources of positions, as they may be most profitable when you least expect 1t. Do net expect too much interest from others. however, but state your case frankly and try to gain some help.
 In another article I shall discuss the direct ways of getting position. It is important, however, in hand ling the indirect sources that you sit down and make a systematic plan, list the persons, and them proceed to communicate with them. tne after another.

FINDING BETTER JOB

Dozens of letters have been com ing to me lately from young women who are now holding positions but who, for some reason or other. are dissatisfied and want to change. The writers seem ctmpletely at sea; they write to me in a most bewildered way: Where and how shall I start?" and with a small amount of infor- nation expect a complete and ex- haustive reply to their questions.
 l should like to point out here that going after a better job is a most significant test of a persons busi- ness ability. If you cannot sit down and analyze your own problem, and then make aR intelligent plan for getting another job, how can you handle business for another herson? Of course there is such a thing as getting too close to ones own af- fairs, and losing perspective. Per- haps that is the trouble with some of my correspondents.
 When you sit down to consider for yourself the problem of getting Ia better job there are several ques- tions to ask yourself: Why am I leaving this job? What do I want? (You must have a really definite idea about thaO. Where is the best place tG start looking for another position?

Lobster and crabs are in season from May to September but seem to he especially desirable for menus during the hot months. As they are are classed among the more di- pestible she'll fish. there Is no undue tax On the digestive organs, which is another commendation for them as summer food.
