LIGHTNING ROD
PREVENTS FIRE
(By Assoc luted Prewa)
NEW YOltK, July 2 1. property
owners throughout the country aro
urged to iviulp their hiilliilnKM with
llKhtntng rods by the Nutloiml Itourd
of Klre I nderwriters, which today
declared that y per cent of tho fires
cauHtd by IlKhtnlng could tlnm ho
prevented. Tho Iohhoh hy flro caused
by lightning total 130,000,000 unnual
A widespread indifference to this
form of protection exists, however,
duo to the swindling niethodH ernploy
ed hy lightning rod dealers In tho
pfutt, und the fact that It is highly
difficult to obtain un expert who eun
determine whether or not installation
taus been correctly done.
Careful research by electrical uu
thorltles Including Jr. Charles V
Htcinuu'tz of tho Oenerul Klectrlc
Com puny, und Thomas A, Kd ison
have proven conclusively tho efficien
cy of the lightning rod us a safety
device, the Underwriters declare.
To guuruntee property owners that
their lighditng rods have been prop
erly Installed und are a protection In
' eteud of a menace, the Board of Klre
" Underwriters hua udopted a plan
whereby a representative of their or
ganization Inspects all Installation
tn bin district, und affixes a "master
label" to tho work if it proves worthy.
"insurunce companies will grant a
reduction of Insurunce for lightning
rods. In states where reductions are
allowed, only on those buildings
where tho muster label Is attached
along with the Identification tug of
the company which made the Install-1
atlon," the slutement declares.
Laboratory service will be provided
by tho Fire Underwriters, where mu-
terlula submitted by lightning rod
companies will be tested for ccrtl
rtcutlon. The must of label will be at
tached to tho work of only those com
panies which maintain an inspection
service ulong with their Installation
Bervice, the Underwriters have ruled.
No lightning rod company Is barred
xrom this laboratory service.
The adoption of the "master label
system will murk an era In preventing
loss or property und lift, through
ngninuig, tho i-n-o Underwriters Btate,
und for tho first time stundurdlzo
lightning rod Installation. Tho system
will coyer the entire United mates and
