Challenges Old Ideas
About Lightning Rods

In communication to the Acad-
envy Of Sciences in Paris, says Path.
finder Magazine, M. V. Schaffers de-
MES the familiar notion that light
ming seeks wet ground and that
lightning rods should always have
their ends earthed in moist soil, or
better still, in the wet ground at the
bottom of some nearby creek or
pond. Using a generator Of electric
sparks long and powerful enough to
be considered veritable artificial
lightning, Schaffers found that the
distance from which a spark would
strike and the path which the spark
took was affected but little by the
wetness or dryness of the soil under
meath an earthed lightning rod or
similar conductor.
DR.. e. e. Free, in reporting the in
vestigator's finds points out that it
is well known that the paths and
characters of natural lightning
flashes frequently are erratic, seem
ing to obey none of the established
laws of electric conduction. The
really effective matters in lightning
danger or protection, If Schaffers is
correct, are the presence Of metal OBJ
jects or other substances which
might be highly conducting for the
electricity and the numbers Of the
electrified gas atoms called ions In
the air.

of Agriculture.)
In cold weather Americans undOubt-
edly justify their reputation as cot
fee-drinking nation. But our summers
In most parts of the United States are
hot. We have a habit of icing our
beverages of all flayors, and iced tea
is rapidly gaining Roadway as a re-
freshing drink. Nothing else quite
takes its place on warm day, espe-
cially for sociable porch gathering
In the afternoon.
There's all the difference in the
world, however, between just cold tea
and dainty, tempting pitcher of gold
en- brown liquid, tinkling with ice and
garnished with colorful green leaves
and thin slices of lemon. The mere
appearance of tray set attractively
for serving iced tea is enough to re-
vive spirits that have been wilted by
combination of heat and work, or
travelling, or sports. "a better under
standing of the selection of teas may
help in producing acceptable and re-
freshing iced tea.) Good hot tea must
always be properly made first, poured
off the tea leaves, and chilled, some
time before the iced tea is wanted.
All the tea used in the United
States is imported. Those who handle
1t in our wholesale markets say that
there is distinct preference in most
sections of the country for the heavy
bodied, fully fermented black teas Of
East India and Ceylon, rather than the
green teas of China and Japan and
the oolong teas of Formosa and
China. One reason for this is that
these heavy-bodied East India teas re-
semhle coffee in color and body. They
are liked for iced tea because even
when somewhat diluted by melting ice
they still have considerable flavor and
a delightful color.
Choosing black, green, or oolong tea,
however, is matter of personal taste.
After deciding which flavor is pre-
ferred, the housewife should select a
brand that is sold in proper kind of
package which will preserve the quail
lty of the tea. This is very important
Teas that are packed in tin, or car
tons lined inside with aluminium or

In unlined cartons deteriorates rapidly.
After brewing tea. If the housewife
will examine the wet leaf. she can
learn much about the quality. The
appearance of dry leaf after brewing
has the bright color of copper coin.
1t is of better quality than a dull-col
ored leaf. The leaf of green teas
should also be bright and free from
any discoloration as 1t is left in the
teapot. The term "Orange Pekoe" does
not indicate a certain kind Of tea, but
only leaf grade. AS a rule, blends

served without either. Sweetening is
also matter of taste. If these heavy
bodied teas are served clear it is bet
ter to brew them from three to four
minutes only for hot tea, and from
four to five minutes for iced tea.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture gives the following direc-
lions for brewing perfect hot tea.
When it is ready it can be strained
into another earthenware pot or pitch
er and chilled for use as iced tea.
Use teapot, preferably Of earth
enware, china. or glass. Heat it by
scalding with boiling water. AS the
strength of tea is partly a matter of
individual preference, the amount Of
tea used may be varied after expert
ment, but the standard quantity is
usually ''about teaspoonful to each
cupful desired" This may be inter-
preted as an even or rounded tea
spoonful after you have made tea
from your chosen brand once or twice.
If tea bags are used, one per cupful
is olulAdiiiy oiio"eu, III solue cases
the bags may contain more tea than
in others. so it irs we'll to test the
strength of the brew for yourself for
tn. brand you use. Always use fresh
ly drawn water for tea making. Meas
ure it and bring it to bubbling boil
before pouring it on the tea leaves.
Water boiled too long makes tea fiat.
If the water is not actually boiling
it will not bring out the full strength
of the tea.

STORY FOR THE. LITTLE
ONES AT BEDTIME
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

During the last speech of Great Salt
Lake David had noticed sign which
read:
"Geysers in Yellowstone Park in the
Rocky Mountains in the State of
Wyoming. Admission free to Living
Map Adventures"
1t didn't take David long to get
started in that direction after a word
of farewell to Great Salt Lake.
David found it was only short
Living Map distance. He walked
straight along narrow path, one
side of which was being guarded by
Patrolman Idaho and his workers,
with Patrolman Utah and his work
ers on the other side.>
Soon he came to the Wyoming Pa
trolmen, and they told him to go d.
rectly north and at the very tip-top,
left-hand corner of the state he would
find the park.

"Then, too," he said, in a low

USE WASTE OIL TO GET RID
OF BOTHERSOME CRICKETS

chirpings are great annoyance.
Crickets often breed in great numbers
ia the garbage dumps near resi-
dences.
The most effective way to get rid
Of them permanently is to have such
spots cleaned up entirely or treated
with waste oil. Infested rooms may
be relieved Of the presence of some
Of these noisy visitors by the use Of
poisoned bats.
What has been facetiously referred
to as "a banana split for crickets" Is
the formula for poisoned bait recon-
mended by the bureau Of entomology
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Dissolve one tablet of
bichloride Of mercury in one-half cup
of water and then add one-half cup
of -four and mix into the paste and
then spread small quantities on card
board and place about the infested
room. Care should be taken to keep
the bait out of reach of children and
pets.
Those who are closing summer cot
tages in the fall would do well to
look out for the presence of crickets
in the house before leaving. AS
precaution poisoned bats may be
placed in suitable locations. Bed
clothing and wearing apparel should
he carefully packed away In tight
boxes.

SATIN FROCKS ARE FAVORED
FOR EARLY AUTUMN SEASON

Lustrous or dull, in color or black
with special emphasis on white for
evening wear, satin is making con
spicuous entry among first" fashions
for fall.
The new satins have color range
such as the world Of fashion has not
seen for many years. A high regard
for black is also maintained and es.
pecially black with q touch of color
or white.
Satins in the new off-black shades
are as interesting as were the white
shades during the summer. Rich dark
plum tones, garnet reds, browns from
African to rust, handsome green's, and
black, Of course, briefly outline the
color program for fall frocks.
The artfully tailored satin gown in
rich autumn hue worn with shoes in
matched color is favorite theme with
fashionists for immediate wear. AS
reminder of the Importance of shoes

Typical Of the autumn trend is the
bronze-brown satin dress in the pic
ture. It is finished at the neck and
wrists with the same satin weave in
a bright rust tone. The brown kid
shoes worn with this smart gown are
a perfect color match to it.
Many of the couturiers are combin-

Indeed the effectiveness Of monotones
