Several fatal accidents have been caus- ed in this way. The work should be done by experienced electricians. The proper grounding of the system is of paramount importance. the reason being that. good grounding greatly re- duces the hazam from lightning and from overhead electric lines. detective Wiring!" It may be that radio is not respon- sible for one fire in a thousand, but even one is too many if it can be avoidw ed. The experts, however, say that outside wiring for radios may be re- sponsible for fire hazard, and they go further and state how the danger may be overcome. Care in installing the antennae is the chief need, and a little care would be worth while if it would help avoid the danger of fire. The finding of a recent conference of experts is well worth consideration. Here is a summary of what the ex- perts suggest along this line:â€" In radio installations having anten- nae outside the building, the principal dangers are from lightning or from possible contact of the antennae,- or of lead-in wires, with electric light, pow- er, railway or communication wires, or with lightning conductors, according to a special report on “Safeguarding the Radio mittee of recently. “With all the radios in this North,' and all the times you hear of defectivel wiring causing fires, it is a wonder that someone doesn’t start to blame some fires on the radio,” said a local man last week. They have already done so as a matter of fact. Indeed, in the South radio wiring outside has beenl blamed for a. lot of fires. Of course, it may be that the radio antennae have! nothing to do with it. Lots of elec- trical experts have discounted the idea! of many fires being due to defective! wiring. When W. W. White was Hydrol electrical inspector in this district hei used to watch the cases where defective wiring was blamed for starting fires and it was remarkable how often he was able to prove clearly that the wir- ing was not to blame at all. When there was no other apparent cause, it was the easiest way to simply say, “Oh, defective wiring!” , -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_._ Protect the Radio From Fire Hazards Proper Installation of Radio Antennae will Avoid Danger of Ebeatléical Hazards.

By the use of spray shielding the old rattling shielding cans are eli- minated and the life of the tube pro- longed. These features, combined with sev- eral other new engineerng triumphs such as improved class “B” amplifica- tion, unite to produce the result ex- clusive to the Rogers radio In ‘Sym- phonic Tone’ the manufacturers claim to have developed radio to an amaz- ing degree and to a point which they believe to be unrivalled to-day. In referring to twin speakers Mr. Rogers explained that the two speak- ers used adjusted so that one speaker reached further down the musical scale than was possible before, in order to catch all the low notes, while the other speaker correspondingly was ad- justed for the highest notes, hereto- fore incapable of being faithfully repro- duced. The new speakers are so bal- anced as to produce an almost flat audio-frequency response curve. Fide- lity of tone results. “In ‘Symphonic Tone” said Mr. Ro- gers, “we believe we have the nearest approach to veritable reproduction that science has as yet produced. 'Symphonic Tone’ is the name given to the clear, mellow result'of the finely balanced relating of several new radio inventions. It is exemplified in the newest Rogers radio models. While it owes much of its perfection to the use of twin speakers, it is also the product of such forward steps as spray shield-x ing and the new Rogers tubes them- 'selves.” Striking New Features to Rogers-Majestic Radio A new radio term which in itself combines the significance of a number of distinct engineering .advances was announced last week by Mr. E. s. Rogers, president of Rogers-Majestic Corporation Limited, the man who made possible 'batteryless radio recep- tion. Non-metallic antennae supports on a building, which p1oject above the highest part of the building. should be protected with a standard lightning conductor run along the entire length of the support and carried clown to “ground.” The antennae should be carried down the outer wall of the building and buried vertically in permanently moist earth or bonded to a. water pipe or other approved “ground." The con- ductor should be securely fastened to the building with metal straps held in place in an approved manner. If the mast be mounted on a. steel frame structure and be electrically connected to the steel framing, no such conductor is needed. The antennae wires should be of metal which is not subject to corrosion. and yet, among the uninitiated there appears to be a wrong impression as to the function of a lightning arrester. and a false sense of security as to its protective power. A lightning arrester does not and is not supposed to protect a building from lightning. The light- ning arrester is simply a device for pro- tecting the receiving set from lightning by deflecting the ,charge to earth, by means of a proper ground.

If they are gene many valuable lives can ing each hunting season must never forget that ‘didn't know it was loac with us and guard car his missteps." Perhaps the most frequest cause of shooting accidents is the dangerous habit of some hunters who “shoot at something moving in the bushes” with- out first making certain that the mov- ing object is the game they seek rather than a hunting companion. The gun may alsobe carried, shoul- deer in reverse position. the hand grasping the barrels about the. middle and the muzzle pointing forward and down. This method is‘admissible but is awkward for recovery purposes; A loaded gun should always be car- ried at half-cock, Mr. Poole empha- sized, unless the person carrying it is about to shoot. The muzzle of a gun should never be allowed to point to- ward any other person. Guns being taken into boats and vehicles or over fences and other obstructions should preceded the person carrying them. Cartridges should be removed an en- tering camp or house and loaded gun‘s should never be aimed at anything un- less the holder intends to press the trigger. No loaded gun should be placed where it may be knocked down by a dog or child, nor can there be any excuse for leaving a loaded gun stand- ing anywhere that it may be handled by a person who does not know that the weapon is loaded. with hand on grip and muzzle of gun elevated about 45 degrees; hang gun by; trigger guard hitched over .for-e- arm brought round to breast, the stock passing behind the upper arm, muzzle or gun- pointing a pace or so in front of bearer; shoulder the gun, with hand on grip or heel- ~plate, muzzle pointing upwards at least 45 degrees. .

The recurring reports of accidents, many of them fatal, due to careless or inexperienced persons handling guns led E. G. Poole, Fish and Game authority of the Canadian National Railways to sug- gest to sportsmen’ the need of safety in this matter. Safe carrying of guns must become a. deflninte habit, said Mr. Poole in making his suggestions. The golden rule is that the muzzle of 8. carried gun must never sweep the horizon. If an accidental discharge takes place it should send the shot into the ground before the feet of the person carrying the gun, or into the air at a safe angle. There are several safe ways of carryâ€" ing a shotgun or rifle, said Mr. Poole, and these may be employed alternately to relieve fatigue. These suggestions are: Hold'the gm] in the hollow of the arm, «preferably the left) across the front of the person, with hand on grip and muzzle of gun elevated about 45 degrees; hang gun by; trigger guard hitched over .fore- Fish and Game Authority Suggests Need for Care and Attention to Safety in Handling (inns in the Bush or Elsewhere.
