WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES If you hear a crash of thunder > you are aafe. The lightning hae missed you. An old luperatltlon' •aye that lightning never hits' twice In the same spot. Thia la false Not only does lightning i frequently strike In the same place, but It shows a decided preference for certain locations. Stay away from tall ireew. especially tall trees that stand by them selves Lightning takes the path of least resistance from the sky to the ground, and a tall tree offers less resistance than an equal vol ume of air. Therefore, an electric bolt may flow through the tree Your body near the base of the tree offers less resistance to the electric current than the wood of, the tree does, and so the bolt of electricity may Jump off the tree and pass through your body. Thia, as you may surmise, is not an experience to be sought. Stay away 1 Trom wire fences too Fences are generally fastened to wooden posts. Wood is an insulator and does not readily transmit electricity. Lightning may strike the wire fence a long way from you and travel through the wire with sufficient energy to electrocute you. i Automobile Safe Place If you must be out in a thunder storm wear rubber boots or overshoes If you are traveling by automobile stay in the car. Overshoes and rubber tires offer great protection from lightning. The metal frame of an automobile is an additional protection, because lightning can only pass over the outside of a metal object. It cannot enter a car. A metal roof la a great protection too, especially if the roof la well grounded, for electricity from outside cannot pass through it. If there la any question of grounding, a piece of chain or wire dragging from the axle or frame of the car will serve very nicely. The safest place from lightning, from a scientific point of view, would be inside a jail, completely surrounded by stsel bars. But then, the other discomforts of being in jail would probably outweigh the safety that you would find from lightning. There is a form of lightning that la little known. Due of our readers writes that a ball of lightning

A. tn general, fall will be late, y What was the cause of the rainbow colored circle around the moon about one week before we had our first rain after the con- > tinued drought ? Mr a. H. T. A.

SYNOPSIS Marie Therese Alexander lives in Hollywood, at #67 Dover Drive. That Hollywood address may sound exciting but it isn't really. Dover Drive is a dusty, hot little street,afar from the wide boulevards. There is a sign in the window. "Julie"* Beauty Shoppe" Underneath it is another sign, "Circulating Library." Julie Sandifer—of the old client him days—is Marie s mother. They live with Julie's third husband. Charlie Bronson. Marie hasn't the temperament for the movies. She takes out ker longing for romance by corresponding with Edward Wilson of Oakland, whose letter to a correspondence club she answered. She looks forward to a first meeting with Edward, but fears it too. He arrives in Loo Angeles without notifying her in advance. Marie is so flustered dressing for an appointment with Edward, she goes around in circles. Julie suggests that Marie bring Edward to dinner, but Marie, ashamed of her home, declines. Edward is just as Marie had pictured him-tall and handsome. They are mutually attracted. Later in the evening, while out driving, Edward kisses Marie and she thinks. "He loves me." Julie, however, has her misgivings when she meets him. fearing her daughter is just another adventure to him. CHAPTER VI Parked out on the wind-swept promontory above the sea at Santa Monica again, Marie would have shrunk from thinking of her family's curiosity in Eddie's means-if any—of livelihood. Two days—ami she'd known him a lifetime. Two days, and she roaMn't bear to think of parting Couldn't bear not to think of ft. "You're going day after tomorrow." “Don't—darling—-dont talk about it.” "But I cant help it 1 keep thinkIng—” "Don’t think. Just be happy.

Thera had never been anything else—eould never be anything different Except that he was going away, you,* »he said again. I II miss you terribly." “If 1 hadn't come with the fellows—if I didn't have to go up to Cloverdale, to see this fellow about the land I'm interested in up there. I wouldn't go. I just wouldn't go—" She laughed softly. “Do you know—l didn't want you to come —didn’t want to meet you—" She felt him stiffen, draw beck, •“f *!*J? u 5 hed Main, delightedly.
