AND CHILD INJURED| Might Be Struck, But Danger Is No More Than Other Points, Engineers Find. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 1.—Radfo own- era who become uneasy during thun- derstorms have little reason to fear, because lightning has not exhibited any special fondness for antennaes. So advise engineers of the Under- writers’ Laboratories, where dafly war 1s waged against hazard through the {testing of hundreds of devices to de- termine whether they are safe to use. “Lightning 1s liable to strike almost anything,” one of them sald, “but there is no unusual attraction in ra- dlos and their equipment. If light- ning should strike an antenna, the lightning arrester, with which most antennae are equipped, might provea safeguard and again it might not. Lightning 1s hard to check.” In the testing of radios the labora- tory experts are concerned chiefly with power-operated or _so-called socket recelving sets. Especially rigid are the safety requirements for battery eltminators and chargers. “One of the tests is to see what happens when wo deliberately short the current within the device,” says the engineer. “If it becomes so hot that fire results, then changes are recommended to relieve this danger. All the tests, many of which appear ridiculous, are made with the knowl- edge that when amateurs experiment anything may huppen i LIQUOR BILL HUGE.
