in the train from London, and the sub
sequent walk from the station. The
splendor of the morning had soothed
his nerves, and the faint wind that
blew inshore from the sea spoke to
him hearteningly of adventure and ro-

the office of governor. Since the
adjournment of this meeting we
have felt and expressed the hope
that the serious conditions con
fronting our state can be handel
and solved by no man more efec-
lively than by yourself.
Those of us who have signed
this call are not politicians in the
statewide sense. We are merely
trying to serve our neighbors and
constituents in the towns, villages
and cities of Wisconsin in our
humble way and to the b It Of
our ability in their local and coun-
ty affairs. We realize however,
that unless these larger problems
are first solved in the state, and
more important still, that unless
the state sets good example to
the smaller units, all hope of tax
reduction and efficient administra-
ton in Wisconsin is hopeless.
Convinced therefore that you,
as no other man in that state can
put Wisconsin on the right track,
we earnestly address to you this
call, representing as we do the
largest proportion of the tax pay
ers of Wisconsin, that in the in
terest of all the people of the
state, you offer and announce
yourself as a candidate for Cover
nor
If you become such candidate,
we pledge you our active, sincere
and continuous support and the
support of the thousands of our
constituents who are interested in
good government in Wisconsin.

OF International broadcasting demon :

Signor Marconi, who first rent the
curtain of space by flashing the ia
nous letter ''S'' across the Atlantic
Ocean, will press a key in his Lon
don laboratory which will light a
huge American flag by radio in Grand
Central Palace.
The exposition this year is on an
unprecedented scale. The exhibits
prepared by Americas leading radio
manufacturers will reveal to an amaz-
Ing degree the growing place of radio
in the home, and the remarkable
progress made by the radio art and
the radio industry. Not only will
there be displayed for the first time
Hundreds of new radio features and
5nventionS of particular interest to
dhe radio amateur, but the position of
radio in the home will be strikingly
demonstrated in a series of wonder

their small diameter. Moreover, the
ground lead Of an antenna constitutes
a lightning rod having a single down
conductor, whereas good lightning rod
practice requires at least two down con-
ductors electrically parallel, but as
widely separated as possible.
'In contrast to radio antenna, a
modern lightning rod system is designed

receiving and disposing of direct strokes

with a minimum Of damage to the rod
itself The conductors are heavy,
weighing three ounces or more per foot
For the reception Of a stroke, points
are erected which project well above
the parts of the structure most likely to
be struck, and from the roof two or
more down conductors are run to wide

stroke can divide and find an easier
