BOARD SOLICIT SUGGESTIONS FROM EMPLOY ERS AND EM- PLOYEES. There are few subjects in which a keener or wider interest is taken than the matter of wages, probahly because 00 per cent of the mor and women in this country are dependent directly or indirectly upon their own or someone elses earnings. Realizing that there is a point below which wages for women should not be al- lowed to fall, the Minimum Wsge Board was established by act of. Ontario Legislature in 1920. 11 has now spent some months in a certain- ing just how much a girl must spend in order to obtain the necessities of life. One of the results of their i n- .'esigoting has been the ostahiisning of an order governing the minimum wage which may be paid to women workers in the laundries of 'fronto. Under the terms of this ruling ex- perienced female worker., employed in such laundries may not he paid wages at a less rate) than $l i.('di per week. A survey is now bong made of the, following industries: C:ho cdete, Biscuit, Confectionery and allied in dustries; Paper box, paper hag, sin- tioncry and allied industrial; retail stores; grocery specialties; Iru01 and ,jinn, with a view to establishing wage rates for girle in these occupations+. These nidei•s will cater he extended to the whole Province. As the coat of living is lower in ' the smallee towns and cities of the Province the orders for the Province gener- ally will fix lower minimum than the larger cities. Dr. MacMillan, Chairman of the Minimum Wage Board, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, has announced that he will gladly furnish informa- tion to any employer or employee who may care to write to him with regard to the terms of the Board's orders.. Employers throughout the Prov- ince, with whorl the Board has come in contact, have invariably not only given their assistance, hut, upon learning the methods and results • o1 the Board's actions, have also given their approval.

The ,nar9 direct queetlolns 0011 - corning lightning rods o1' cables, mfthods of installing, ore„ sent to the Department of Physics, O.A. 0., Guelph, are often accompanied by statements of the views of those sub- mittitlg thea° questions. The follow- ing list of eoriceetect vlelvc, or inipres- slons, will prove helpful to those who are at all interested in the protec- tion of their property from lightning discharges. E. (1(000 es an erroneous view of statement. 0. denotes correct explanatloes or statements of facts. • E. Lightning rods attract the elec- tric charge on the cloud and then allow the flash to travel down the system of lightning rods to the ground where It disappears. C. The rodding system forms a connecting link betldeen the charge on the cloud and the charge on the earth and structure protected. The charges on the cloud and on the earth are of opposite polarity, and the induced charge on the earth or structure is quietly neutralized by the reading system Including the ground sod, the cable, alio the points on the ridge. The neutralizing of the charge takes place In the form of an almost silent discharge front the points placed on the ridge, or on Prominences at various parts of the building. it is in thus "preventing” the sudden flash from the cloud that the chief efficiency of the melding system consists. The system helps to avoid destruction by lines even 111 cases where 11slosh cannot be pre- vented, but these flashes are almost unheard of to -day with the efficient rodding systems being Installed by lightning rod dealers. "Rodding sys- tems properly installed do protect." P. Any kind of rodding "system" Is satisfactory if the proper kind of rod or cable is used. 1t all depends on the rod. C. Rather say any durable rod, copper ever three ounces per foot, and iron 41 ounces per foot Is good enotgli "If properly installed." Em- phasis cannot be too strongly laid on the "method" of Installations. P. If the ground rod or cable 1s placed in the ground 0 distance of six feet, it is considered satisfactory, C. Ground rods must be clown to perpetual moisture, or (whore this is impossible) special arrangements must he made to provide the best grounding, more ground rods being necessary and special advice must be sought as to the best method in each special case. L. A. building with metal roof is safe from electrical discharges. U. A metal roof grounded at the corners, and with a "s11019" ridge - board or points, snakes an excellent system for fire protective purposes. The chief metal parts in the build- ing roust, however, be connected to the nia.in system as suggested 111 rodding specifications, Bulletin No. 220 of the Department of Agricul- tore l''or Ontario. E. Even properly rodded build- ings are sometimes struck. C. Although the above is true, the chances of their being injured if struck, or struck at all, are so fele that one is safe to challenge t110 statement as "misleading," -When hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property is being destroyed annually in the Province of Ontario there are on rceord spaces of twelve worths' duration where nes single properly rodded building waS burn- ed, and practically none 0000 in- surE.ed. The safest place In a thunder- storm is a sort distance from a tall tree, but lightning is liable to strike anything, or anywhere. C. Keep as far away as possible from trees. All things nee not equally liable to bo struck. There are no freaks in the ease of light- ning discharges. Some things are never struck, other things are al- most invariably stook it a discharge takes place near them. E. Our buildings are insured, Then why trod then) at extra expense? C. No on has any right to take a chance on destroying life and pro- perty even if the life of the Indivi- dual or the property is insured. How about reduction of insurance pre- miums when buildings are rodded? E. All rodding companies are trustworthy. Therefore tnuy the cheapest cable and installation. 0.
