WAR
On LIGHTNING

NEW YORK. Jan. 26 G.N.S0.
Lightning, reduced by science
from a weapon of the gods to the
status Of a natural nuisance,
came in for a lot Of hard-boiled
discussion today at the second
session of the winter meeting Of the
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers.
All sorts of methods for putting
the awe-inspiring thunderbolt in
its place were proposed by re-
search experts.
When bolt hits near a modern
power transmission line, a portion
Of its voltage jumps to the wire
and often burns out transformers.
In 1927 the association decided
something must be done about
this and detailed researchers to
the task.
H. A. Dambly and two other en-
gineers Of the Philadelphia Elec-
trio Company reported today that
annually about 5 per cent Of the
$4,000 transformers in use in the
1900 square miles in and around
Philadelphia were disabled by
lightning.
D. w. Roper, of the Common
wealth Edison Company, Chicago,
reported tests which indicated
that q change in the design of
transformers will make them
practically immune to lightning
troubles when protected by mod
ern types Of lightning arresters."

LAGGARD
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. 26 UN.SJ.
With a slight trend to higher
prices, the stock market was un-
usually dull and featureless in
the early trading today.
Speculative interest was con-
centrated on United States Steel,
IN view Of today's important divi'
0end meeting of the directors.
The meeting is expected to be fin
1shed about the time the market
closes and the announcement
shortly after, in view of the sharp
decline in earnings last year, the
important question is whether
the steel corporation will dip fur
ther into surplus to pay unearned
dividends.
Steel Displays Strength
United States Steel stock dis
played quiet strength on the tape
in the forenoon trading, forging
ahead to 43, against yesterdays
low price at 40b. The rails also
gave a good account Of them
selves while awaiting more def
mite word on the wage conference,
which will probably wind up be-
fore the end of the week. Lead
ing induStrialS like American
Telephone and American Can,
with a few of the motors, oils
and utilities, moved up into frac-
ktonally higher levels.

st. Louis Southwestern stocks
and bonds moved up sharply on
the commerce commissions de-
ciSion permitting Southern Pacific

common forged ahead 2 points
TO 11A, while bonds of the road
jumped 10 to Is points.
Late in the second hour the
market was again at a Standstill
and price changes narrow. Com.
modify markets also inactive, with
wheat and cotton fractionally
lower, and cotton virtually un-
changed. Despite further de-
creaSes in member banks deposits,
loans, etc., call money was in
good supply at 21a per cent.
