Over New York City 80 percent of
all lightning bolts travel up from
spires of tall buildings, not down
because Manhattan is supercharged
with electricity. This however, is
what happens elsewhere in most
cases:
The bottom of the thundercloud
accumulates great negative charges
of electricity. AS the cloud races
along, positive charges build up on
the ground, follow the cloud up and
down church, steeples, buildings
and trees.
Suddenly the cloud lets loose an
invisible tongue to explore the path
of least resistance to the ground.
When contact is made, a brilliant
flash of lightning passes between
cloud and earth at % million miles
an hour.
Lightning often strikes twice in
the same spot within few million
this of a second. 1t has been known
to- strike the same tree two years
in succession.
Tree owners can protect their
valued trees by turning them into
giant lightning rods. It's simple: A
copper mesh cable is extended
from treetop down. the forks and
trunk and imbedded 6-8 feet in the
ground well beyond the branch
spread. This harmlessly grounds
any bolt from the blue.

After that come elm, pine, ash,

But no tree is a safe refuge dur

Trees growing in the open, singly
or in small groups, are in more
danger than those in dense for

Trees growing along borders of

No Trees Safe During Lightning
Storm, and Oak Unsafest of All
A lightning bolt during sudden
thunderstorm few Sundays ago
killed two persons, injured four
others who had taken refuge under
an oak tree in New York's Central
Park.
That same day five other persons
were injured by lightning bolts
from other storms. They too had
sought shelter under an oak.
An Oak tree, says Don Cantrell,
District Manager of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Co., is the unsafest of
all trees during a thunderstorm.
Lightning strikes an oak because
it is starchy and good conductor

Chemical Tests fir. P. I
New Era Looms
For Drunk Driver

employe who lives in Woodbine.
At the end of last Thursdays
precedent-setting trial, Phebus
was pronounced guilty Of drunk
driving and fined $50 by Judge
Diamond.
The clinching testimony in
the conviction came, not from a
police officer, but from a medi-
cal pathologist, DR.. Oscar B.
Hunter of the Hunter Labora-
tory of Washington.
DR.. Hunter explained that a
urine specimen, taken from Phe-
bus As minutes after his arrest
at Ito am. on July 8, showed
an alcohol content of 80 per
cent by weight.
With such a reading, he con-
tinued, there is no question
whatsoever" that the individual
from whom the specimen was
taken was under the influence
of alcohol at the time.
Judge Diamond summed up
the impact of the test system
when he passed sentence on
PhebuS.
He noted that, but for the
scientific presentation, the evil
dence in the case was similar to
that of most previous drunk
driving trials.
DR.. Hunters testimony, how.
ever, established Phebus' guilt
beyond any reasonable doubt, "
the judge said. There is moth
ing else this court can do but
find you guilty"
Since this was the first case
tried under the new chemical
test law, Judge Diamond quizzed
police officers closely as to the
procedures used in obtaining
and processing the urine speci-
men.
Here are the basic points
brought out:
The specimen must be
taken within two hours after
the arrest is made.
The defendant is to be in
formed by officers that he is
free to refuse to submit to the
test; that if he does take it the
results can be used as evidence
either against him or in his IA
vor when his case comes to
trial.

TriadeIphid
Spelling Is
Correct One

In a recent article about rec.
reation facilities of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com.
mission, the Sentinel used an in.
correct spelling of Triadelphia
Reservoir.
In the incorrect version. cop.
led from one published map of
the area, we omitted the first
"a" in Triadelphia.
The error was pointed out this
week by Mrs. Douglas H. Riggs
of Brookeville, lifetime county
resident whose father an
grandfather, Thomas Hyatt
Lansdale and Thomas Franklin
Lansdale, were prominent citi-
zens of the town of 1riadelphia
for which the reservoir was
named.
The village, whose site is now
covered by the water of the res
ervoir, was named in honor of
t hree brothers.in.law who
founded the town in 1909. "Tri.
adelphia," Mrs. Riggs pointed
out, means three brothers."
The three were Isaac Briggs,
Caleb Bently and Thomas
Moore. They were married to
the three daughters of Roger
Brooke, a descendant CT one of
the earliest English settlers in
st. Mary's County along the Pa.
tuxent River.

out that the urine test can be

This week rates taking look
at our lawns and seeing what
should be done. Many folks have
been having severe problems
with drought and lawn diseases
this year and some lawns seem
to be completely dead al this
time. 1t is well to keep in mind a
few general lawn principles at
this time of the year because
the damage is often not as bad
as it may seem.
Our most widely used lawn
grass is blue grass and this, like
many other turf grasses, is a
cool season plant. This means
the main annual growth takes
place in the spring ana fail
when the temperatures are rel
atively cool. Right about this
time each summer blue grass
goes dormant to varying de.
grees and some times the lawn
may be completely brown. When
the cool fall rains come these
blue grass lawns will turn green
and will grow for several
months and even through the
winter; they are not dead.
Now the stumbling block for
many home owners is this hot
dry period during mid summer.
Unless we have a lush Zoysia
lawn or one crowded with crab
grass we are likely TO panic
about mid-July. The result of
this panic can be heavy water
ing or fertilizing, or both, and
neither seems to do the lawn
much good. On the contrary, fer
tilization and tender loving care
during July seems to encour-
age the crab grass more than
the blue grass and many of our
lawn diseases are worse because
Of early summer nitrogen APP.
plications. So, maybe we will
have better looking lawns If we
would forget about lawn fer
tilization and water and just
take a summer snooZe.
The story does not end here,
however, as August will soon he
