CHANCES OF BEING
 ! STRUCK BY BOLT
Scientist Says It Is Safest to
 Sprawl on Ground

Philadelphia. Sept. lS.--F, w. Peek, Jr., consultngsengineer of the General Electric company, declared in a paper prepared for presentation today before the delegates attending the centenary celebration of the Franklin institute, that a person standing directly under Il storm cloud would be fifteen times more liable to be struck by lightning than one lying flat on the ground. Through research in the companys labratory at Pittsneld, Mass, he said, he had been able 10 determine definitely that the voltage of a light hing flash was about 10o,0OO,0O0.
 ''Research shows that lightning from a cloud overhead does not al- ways strike the highest object unless the height of that object is more than 2.5 per cent of the distance be- tween the cloud and the earth" said Mir. Peek. "The division of hits is about equal between cloud and ground when the object is II per cent of the cloud height, Then, too' the chance of being hit is less when the cloud is not directly overhead. Lightning either strikes the object or some distance away; that is' there is a protected area around an ob- 6ect or rod with a radius equal to four times the height of the rod where lightning will strike the pole CT outside circle 100 feet from the hase of the pole"
 A study Of lightning MT. Peek said was of scientific importance because there was manifest in the flash the dynamic effect of the electrons and irons. Ii was of engineering or practical importance, he added, be cause an exact knowledge of the characteristics of lightning will make it possible to protect life, buildings powder magazines, oil tanks and transmission lines against it."

Domestic Days
By ROY l.. M'CARDELL

It being the occasion of MT. Jarr'S spring hair cut, he entered into the Acme Sanitary Tonsorial Aarlor and eased himself into the chair of Fred, the sporting barber.
 Better let me singe your hair after I've cut it." remarked Fred, as he tucked cloth around his patrons neck.
 'I want a hair cut, and I don't want anything else, not even any conversa- tion about it." MT. Jarr declared. Its I wonder you don't ask me if l don't want q shave, seeing as I have just shaved an hour ago. And I'd cut my own hair, too, if I could"
 "Oh, oh, excuse me, excuse mel" said the sporting barber affably, but you'd better let me give you seafoam or a regular shampoo. You've been out in your automobile and your head is dutsy."
 My shoes are dutsy from walking {; I haven't any automobile, and you know it." Mir. Jarr retorted. Why do you insist on trying to give me shampoos and singes and messages, when all want is hair cut? Why do you bar bers always want to job a man, as you call it?"
 Because a poor guy of barber has got to live" replied the tonsorial artist. | He'd starve to death on hair cuts and slaves. It takes twenty minutes to cut a customers hair and just as long to shave him. A barber can only shave three men an hour, and at 25 cents, that's only 75 cents an hour. A barber only works about three full hours a day on the average, and if he gets hair cuts for the three hours, that's only $4 a day, at 50 cents a hair cut. Say the barber gets $1 a day in tips, he's lucky if he makes $6 a day. How can a i guy live on that? It's no wonder a barber's pleads with you tightwads to take a shampoo or a massage, for he'd starve to death if he couldn't job you nickel nursers for an extra or two.
 Its good thing you can't cut your own hair or you'd do it. The Barbers Union and the Master Barbers are talking now of combining all union shops and charging a dollar for a hair cut. But the non-union shops wont come in. What the barber business needs is to get some statesman to run the business and set prices, like\ Judge Landis is doing for baseball and ex Postmaster General Will Hays for tht movies. I nominate William J. Bryar or Chauncey Depew to head the United Barbers of America. Fifty cents fol shave and dollar for hair cut anC Hdull razors to be used on all tightwadl that don't tip."

 |. Certainly not. To marry him is to bring sure misery upon your self. Any man who is twice gull ty of stealing is rotten to the core. You can do nothing to reform him, because the man who will not go straight for the sake of his own manhood, and because he has hon. est principles, will never do it for any woman. You have no right to give your children an ex-convict for father.

We analyze our own moods and lenses and wonder what our friends and acauaintances think of us, and imagine that they admire us or scorn us, when the truth is that they scarcely give us second thought. Life presses so heavily on us all, and we are so busy with our own affairs, and so interested in them, that other people are ot very minor importance to us.

Answer:
 You seem, Caroline, to be one of the very few women who are capa- ble of a great passion, the noble and unselfish love, that can put the happiness of the beloved one before it's own. Most love is sell fish, possessive. It demands every thing for itself, but you can be content knowing that the man you care for has his hearts desire with another. Greater love than that hath no woman.
 Feeling that way, your affection is like a guardian angel that watches over the man instead of a devil that men aces him. You love him too much to be willing for him to shatter your ideal or try to wean him away from his wife or break up his home. You would not be willing for hi into shatter your idea of his honor and uprightness by being .unfaithful to his wife.
 Of course, in time the poignancy of your love will wear itself out. Your disappointment will lose it's keenness. The wound in your heart will heal so completely that it will not even ache, for time is merci- fully the consoler that reconciles us to every situation.N
 Perhaps after a while you will finG some good man whom you will marry and with whom you will live a placic jog-trot existence, finding happiness 1T your home and children. Perhaps you will be one of those who, having knowr a great love, will not decline upon ( lesser love, and you will prefer to live with your dream rather than face thu actualities of marriage without romance But in any event you will be happy because you are unselfish and pure oi heart, and because you have submit ted to fate with good grace.
 And, after all, love isn't every
 thing in life. You. are successful
 in business. You have that great
 interest to fill your days and
 thoughts. You will make the mon-
 ey to buy yourself the comforts
 and the luxuries of life, and you will find with Stevenson that the
 world. is so full of a number of
 things, we all should be happy
