LIGHTNING JUMPS
AFTER DODGERS
Dancer in Bolt From Ground
During Storm Overhead
Shown by Science.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE.
Associated Press Science Editor.

Associated Press Science Edltor.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Here's an
other reason why it is useless to dodge
when lightning seems to be striking
from storm clouds-the fash may jump
at you from the ground.
Scientific proof OF this, going beyond
previous beliefs of lightning experts and
suggesting revision of tine theory OF
thunder storms. is announced in the
Physical Review by J. C. Jensen of
Nebraska Wesleyan University
Negative Flash Deadly.
Jensen showed that negative light
ming as we'll as positive branches both
up and down, and that the negative
fash is the more deadly. The general
scientific belief has been that the
branching seen in a lightning flash
goes from positive to negative clouds or
earth.
The Nebraska physicist laid light
ming nerve in the soil--an arrange
ment of wires showing whether the
ground was positive or negative. he
set I'D automatic cameras to photograph
lightning
He obtained pictures Of 1876 flashes
and along with each an automatic
record from the ground nerve showing
whether the soil was positive or mega
tive. Sometimes it was one, sometimes
the other.
Upward Branching Shown
Eight of the pictures showed light
ming branching upward. Four Of these
upward branchings came from positive
ground and four from negative-both
kinds of lightning striking up.
More important scientifically, Jensen
showed negative" lightning branching
downward, but with the outstanding
difference that the negative strokes
branched less frequently than the posi-
tive.
Negative flashes were inclined to be
one solid pure stream of fire, lightning
apparently concentrated. This offers
an explanation of recent discoveries
by electrical engineers that when the
lights 60 out during thunder storms,
the cause is likely to be a flash from
a negative cloud. The negative strokes
are much more severe than positive.
The old theory OF thunderstorms,
which seems due for revision, held
that an observer could say whether a
cloud was positive or negative accord
ing to the direction of the branching
Of the lightning.

Leaders of New Economic
Peace.

SILVER BAY. N Y. July 14-The
current business cycle, Secretary
of Labor Doak told the Conference
of Smaller Industries Tuesday, has
brought employe and employer to COM
mon ground with an almost total ab-
sence of strikes. lookouts and disorders.
The Labor Secretary sent this word
to the conference in a message read at
the second day of the meeting here OF
executives of small concerns represent
ing more than half of the industry of
the country
Peace in industry" said Doak. "is
the thing most greatly to be desired.
1t comes from mutual understanding
mutual desire on the part of the en-
ployer to do exactly what is right by
his employees in all things. including
wages, working hours and the general
from the desire of the employe to have
q thorough understanding of the per-
pleXities Of the employer
To generalize a little, let me say
that, despite the depression and loss
of employment in many places, the
period through which we have been
passing has been marked by an almost
total absence of strikes, lockouts and
disorders. 1t is a remarkable record
and one which gives proof of the de-
sire for cooperation accentuated by
the very difficulties with which employ
ers and employees are beset"
