Safety Rules in
Electric Storms

formulated set of suggestions to help
people take care of themselves dur
ing such disturbances Since that
time, he says experience has borne out
the value of these suggestions and
science has not developed any new
means of safeguarding person
against lightning discharges.
Get under cover, is his first rule.
II you can't do that, lie down. About
ten lightning flashes in a hundred come
down to earth in a straight line, and
the person who stands out in the open
when such flashes are seen. invites
trouble. But getting under cover
doesn't mean seeking shelter beneath
tree because that will bring you in
the direct line Of discharge, and Pro-
lessor MacAdie says more people are
Killed by lightning in this way than
probably any other
Cut Out Radio.
The doorway of barn or a window
near chimney also are dangerous
places to stand because lightning fol-
lows to some extent any draft of air,
especially warm air. When the flashes
are heavy or numerous, keep away
from chimneys, trees, fiagpoles or met
al clotheslines, and cut out your radio.
You are safer indoors than out.
The probability of a person in an or.
binary residence building being struck,
says Professor MacAdie, is very
slight, and dwelling houses in city
blocks are virtually safe He defends
the lightning rod, once so popular, but
now largely fallen into disuse, assert
ing that If house is provided with
good lightning rods there is little to
fear.

Traction Suffers Damage on
Two Occasions, Says
Receiver.

Two recent efforts to cripple the
Beech Grove Traction Company line
by destroying essential parts OF it's
equipment were brough to light to-
day when the Fletcher Savings and
Trust Company, receiver for the
traction company offered $50 reward
for arrest and conviction Of the per

company's property.
Early Aug. "a, the Jumper"
which connects the Beech Grove line
with the indianapolis Street railway
power supply was torn away from
it's fastenings. the receiver states.
This wire carries more than 500
volts of electricity. Service was held
up for about an hour at this time.
Second Trespass
The second trespass was on the
night of Sept. z, when a piece OF
iron was laid in the switch con-
Meeting the Beech Grove and Street
Railway tracks. A Beech Grove
car was derailed as a result, but no
one was injured.
Officials believe that the same
person was responsible for both acts.
Now in Litigation
The Beech Grove line is now in
litigation, c. +. Schmidt having
purchased IL from the Fletcher
Savings and Trust Company, on con-
dition that no bus line be established
between indianapolis and Beech

FEZ, Morocco, Sept. 12,-Riffian
! Alosses in the first twenty-four hours
zbf the great French drive north of
'the Ouergha have been very heavy,
due to the fanatical fury with which
the Krim men sought to stem the
French advance.
With the scorn of danger which
their religion instills in them, the
Riffians resisted at points where,
from the start, resistance was futile.
In some cases they battled on, even
when they were outnumbered ten to
one. Thus they have suffered
heavily while the French losses are
described as "trihing." The French
are continuing their onward push.
