IMPROVING SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The United States Chamber of Commerce is promoting
efforts for improving school buildings. It has distributed
nnmnhlet askine such questions as the following:
"Are there schools in your city of which you should be
ashamed ?
"Do we compel our children to attend school in buildings
where improper lighting ruins the eyes, where wrong seating
twists the backs and poor sanitation promotes disease
"Are the children herded into fire-traps ?"
"Are they crowded into the streets for their playtimes?"
Most cities would have to answer yes to at lea.st one of those
questions, as respects some older school buildings.
If the older schools of a city lack playgrounds, the same can
usually be provided by opening up vacant lots for this purpose.
There is no excuse "or a town that fails to provide adequate spaces
as these when properly regulated are one of the great forces for
keeping boys and girls on the right track.
Poor lighting arrangements can usually be remedied without
great cost. It is a serious matter to injure children s eyes. Ihe
sun is flooding the world with its glorious illumination, given
us without cost or charge, and all we have to do is to open win
dows in our study old buildings if such there are, and let the sun
shine in. "
Fire hazards can be much reduced by teaching the children
fire drills. Many cities have buildings that should be provided
with more exits and fire escapes. The people should keep it in
mind that the first purpose of schools is to bring up sound and
healthy children, and that physical conditions must be favorable
even if there ha3 to be some conservatism about other lines of
expense. '
Further redactions were announced today by the United States
Railroad Labor Board which will cut sixty million dollars yearly
off the railway shop employes, and which will affect practically
live hundred thousand men. This'reduction, amounting to seven
and nine cents per hour, will give the railroad stockholders an
opportunity to pocket over fifty-nine million dollars a year. Last
week's wage reduction to railroad men, it is said, will make a
saving to the railroad companies of fifty million dollars. It is un
reasonable to believe that these reductions are in keeping with
the present standard of living conditions throughout the country,
and the assertion that they were made "with no consideration of
human needs" does not savor of wholesome results to the railroad
workers of the nation. Getting back to normalcy by such drastic
Stction' Is likely to get the country in a turmoil which will com
pletely upset the entire nation. There is such a thing as going too
far in tho matter of wage reductions. Once a certain level is
reached, the backbone of the nation's manpower would become
so badly crippled that the working class would no longer form
n part of tho solid bulwark that it now proudly maintains. It
you want to take a man's independence away from him, there
is no surer or better way than to deprive hi3 family from a just
mid equitable livelihood at a living wage. This action will put
the skids under the most prosperous nation in the world.
o
It was an interesting note in the daily news, when the dis
patches Informed this country that J. P. Morgan, who is attend
ing the international financial conference at Paris, came and
went in an old taxicab that looked as if it were about ready to
fall to pieces. Meanwhile the other delegates all used handsome
automobiles. A similar indifference to style is often manifested
by the men of fame and fortune. Meanwhile the clerks of a bank
or ollice often dross better than the heads of their corporations,
they defend seeming extravagances by saying that the man who
has arrived can do as he likes, but while he is only starting he
must make a good appearance. But some go so far in their ef
fort to create an impression, as to give a splurgy effect. The man
Who seems to be throwing around money does not impress busi
ness people with the idea that he will be a good manager for other
folk's interests.

Itself. LlKlitnlDB-riKls are designed for
the name runmae ami a properly in-
stalled aerlul, Instead of jeopardizing
a ImlldlnK. la reully an excellent safe
guard uml makes a splendid lightning
rod. Lightning atrlkes a building or
object when It U trvlnx to find a way
to the earth and If the object struck
Is a Kooil conductor of sufficient ca
pacity It does no damage. For this
reason, houses covered with wire net-
Hug and climbing vim s are far safer
than those which ore hare, and steel
buildings, such as the New York sky
scraper, steel bridges, elevated struc
tures. Iron xmokestack and chimneys,
Iron steamships and railway tracks
are wldom Injured hy lightning al
though frequently "struck"; the reason
being that , the electricity passes
through them freely without encoun
tering resistance. On the other hand,
wooden buildings, trees and humnn
helngg are poor conductors and when
dry ore ulinost non-conductoro of
electricity, and when the lightning
tries to follow such objects to ground,
the resistance Is so great that serious
damage Is done. It Is exactly like forc
ing water through a pipe. If you have
a powerful stream of water or a great
volume of water and provide n pipe
large enough for It to flow freely,
the pipe will not be Injured, even If It
Is very light and frail; whereas, If
you attempted to force the same
stream or same volume through a
much smuller or clogged pipe, the pipe
would be hurst or the water would
overflow and flood the surroundings.
Statistics prove that as far as aeriulsj
nr concerned there Is no danger nnir
during thunder storms are extremely
rare. During un electrical storm tne
Instruments cannot be used owing to
the "static" or electricity In the uir
and the .confusion of currents, waves
and Inductuuce, nnd by Installing a
lightning-switch or an air-gap there
will be no danger to the premises.
In fact, a properly Installed aerial
does not affect the rute of Insurance
and If Installed In nccordunce with
the regulations of the local lire de
partment you may be sure there Is
not the least danger. The lire de
partment records of New York City
do not show a single Instance of con
flagrations started by aerluls and
lightning.
The simplest and best safeguard for
receiving aerials Is the air-gap shown
In Klg. 10. This consists of two
metal uttuehmenU separated by ubout
one-eighth of an Inch A-H, one of
which (A) Is attached to the lead-In
wire (the wire to set being fastened to
It also) while the other (B) Is con
nected by a wire to the ground di
rect. This gap Is mounted In much
the same manner as a llghtnlng-
swlteh, Fig. 17 (on a window sill or
other convenient spot), in which A
shows connections to aerial, H to re
ceiver and C to ground connection.
When the station is not In use. or
during thunder storms, the handle D
Is thrown from A to O, this cutting off
all connection between the lead-in
wire nnd the Instruments and connect
ing the nerfnl directly with the ground.
Aerials for sending or transmission
stations ore very different from those
used for receiving only nnd should
be of several wires. The most efficient
Is probably the "cage" type shown In
Fig. 18, but any of the others Illustra
ted in Figs. 10, 20 and 21 will answer.
These should, of course, be fully In
sulated nnd the various methods of
doing this are well shown In the
figures and require no explanation. To
Install sending stations a license Is
required, whereas to receive, no
license Is needed.

Big Sunday For
Salvation Army
Lieutenant Colonel George H. Davis.
Salvation Army "crusader," spoke
three times at the local army bar
racks Sunday in connection with
his evangelistic "siege" here. His sub
ject Sunday was "Rest." He took
his text from the words of Christ,
"Come unto me all ye that labor and
I will give you rest."
"The nature of the rest here im
plied," the colonel said, "is not rest
of body or rest of mind, but soul rest.
Rest for the man or woman who Is
burdened with a troubled conscience.
Best for the person whose wrong liv
ing has given him a heavy heart.
"Wlcn Israel looked back over the
Red sea after their miraculous deliv
erance from Egypt, the llihle tells us
that 'they rested.' Hut that was rest
of body nnd mind only. God will give
this soul-rest to those who come unto
Him."
The meetings yesterday were well
attended according to Captain Clar
