No Region Altogether
Free From Lightning

Lightning occurs all over the
world, both on land and sea, but its
distribution Is very nonuniform, In
the United States some regions have
hundred times as many thunder
storms asrothers, the area of most
frequent occurrence centering around
northwestern Florida where there
are on the average about ninety thun-
derstorms per year. Severe lightning
is also experienced in the northern
New Mexico and southern Colorado
area, where the average number of
thunderstorms per year is about sew
enty. In the vicinity of New York
city the yearly average is about thir-
ty, while around San Francisco it is
only one. Lightning is much more
severe in some thunderstorms than
in others. but nothing indicates that
on the average the storms occurring
in different localities differ much In
severity.

Of the debt structure. His viewpoint
applies to foreign debts owed to Unit

to those Of industry. He was said to
be of the opinion that reduction Of in

able, and that fixed charges also could
be cut down.
Bills before the senate, which have
house approval already, would enable
corporations and municipalities or 9TH

scale down the principal and interest
Of their debts through an agreement
with the majority of their creditors.
Legislation is already in effect which
enables the individual to rearrange his
debt and interest rates through pact
with the majority Of those he owes
and to give similar help to railroads.
There have been complaints that these
laws have not been particularly effec-
tive and that they need Strengthening.
The President, in letting it be known
that he thought the debtor was paying
too much on obligations contracted in

in the Place de la Concorde and the
region about the Palais Bourbon where
the chamber of deputies sits, were
