LOUD SPEAKER HELPS THOUSANDS
TO SAFETY AT
GRANDSTAND FIRE

Bell System Loud Speaker was the means of quieting thousands
of frantic people when fifé Was discovered in the grandstand.
When fire broke out im a grandstand
during the fall rodeo festivities, at
Salt Lake City, Utah, a Bell System
Loud Speaker was the means hy
which the thousands of fans who had
turned out to witness the wild west
demonstration were calmed and guid- |
ed to safety.
The Loud Speaker apparatus had
beer installed by the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
which is part of the Bell System for |
the use of the announcers. 1
Upon hearing shouts of “fire” from
the grandstand and observing the
frantic men, women and children
making a mad rush to get out of the
burning grandstand. ¢he man behind
the microphone began to talk to the
frightened fans, urging them to be
calm and all would have plenty of
time to reach safety.
“Be ecalm_ and move toward the
i north!” came the waraing from the
Loud Speaker. “Don’t stop to watch
: the flames, you are blocking someone
else from getting out. Keep moving
north---everybody.”
The people heard the commands of
the announcer and obeyed them As
a result all were led to safety with-
out a person being injured.
BALL LIGHTNING IS KNOWN
TO METEOROLOGICAL SCIENCE

What is known as “ball lightning”
is described by the meteorologists of
the Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Although science is not yet able to
explain ball lightning, and all at-
tempts to» reproduce it in the labor-
atory have thus far failed, its exis-
tence 1s generally admitted by scien-
tific men, and quite 2 large fund of
knowledgz has been gathered con-
cerning i*s characteristics. There
was apparently two distinet types of
ball lightning. One type floats freely
through the air, while the other
moves along terrestrial objects as if
attached to them. Ball lightning
occurs during thunderstorms, and im
some cases its appearance is pre-
ceded by an ordinary flash of light-
ning. Ball lightning is generally
only a few inches in diameter, and
in the majority of cases remains
visible only a few seconds, though
it has been known to last for sev-
eral minutes. -

Plan Garden First
It is important to plan the 1928
garden before ordering seed. Make
a drawing of the shape of the gar-
‘den on paper, preferably to scale.
Lay out the different rows, indicat-

ing the crop to be planted. Plan
for succession planting in long
straight rows, instead of in small
patches or beds. This will allow
the use of the hand wheel hoe and
other convenient tools. Extensiom
Circular No. 76, which is free for
asking, tells all about it.
