This "calling card"
warns us in advance of
approaching storms.

L

IGHTNING storms are often of a local character and difficult
to forecast by usual methods. Yet they can cause a great deal of

trouble for The Detroit Edison Company and its customers. For
this reason, we need special devices to warn us of storms in ad-
vance. Such a device is this "calling card" for lightning.

Have you noticed how your radio sputters with static before an
approaching storm? The "calling card" is that same static—put
down on paper in black and white. The static "inks in" its own
record on the chart, at the rate of 1 1A inches per hour ... telling
us the storm's approximate speed and direction. When trouble
strikes, when lightning burns down our lines or falling trees and
branches drag down wires, our men are ready immediately to start
the work of restoring electric service.

THE U. S. WEATHER BUREAU TELETYPE SERVICE direct
provides us daily with reports
from a weather forecasting serv-
on local weather conditions. But
ice in California gives us special
this is only one of several storm-
reports, supplementing those of

warning safeguards employed.

the U. S. Weather Bureau.

THE TROUBLE DISPATCHER,
when warned of a storm's
approach, notifies Detroit Edi-
son linemen—at home or else-
where—as quickly as possible.

FAST ACTION. Our men re-
spond without delay when such
a call is received. Edison serv-
ice must be maintained, what;
ever the weather.

Dr. Arieh Tartakowel
Succeeds Dr. Ruppin
In Hebrew U. Post

Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig, head
of the political department of the
World Jewish Congress, an-
nounces that Dr. Arieh • Tarta-
kower was appointed professor
of sociology at the Hebrew Uni-
versity of Jerusalem to succeed
the late Dr. Arthur Ruppin. He
disclosed that the late Dr. Rup-
pin, who had a high regard for
Dr. Tartakower's work in the
field of sociology, had urged this
appointment some time before
his death.
Dr. Tartakower will not take
up his new work for some
months and will thus be' able
to complete, before his departure
to Palestine, the organization of
the Department of Relief and
Rehabilitation of the World Jew-
ish Congress.

To maintain the high standards of service °lir ctis;

ideas and improvements . . . resultttog in better
electric service at lower rates.
