Scientists seem to have found the key to answering that question The present-daviewpoint is that strong upward drafts of warm air produce electricity by friction This electricity is of the static kind the same as what we produce by rubbing a glass rod with silk I Hot winds may rise at speeds - j 1 y 'V Laboratory “lighting” flashing of more than 50 miles an hour When they break through clouds there is friction and bits of water vapor are torn apart As a result of that action millions of electrons are taken from one place to another A negative area is built up where there are i too many electrons and a positive area where there are too few When electrons rush back to positive area a flash (lightning) is seen A little later (sometimes more than 10 seconds later) we hear the thunder For “Science” section of your scrapbook Warner Bros Cartoons Inc-- - - UNCLE RAY Tomorrow: “Colors and heat” "The Story of the Alphabet contains 15 fine illustrations and many facts about the names of people To get a copy send a envelope stamped to Uncle Ray Publishers Syndicate 30 North LaSalle Chicago By Merrill FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS Blosser - 2777 self-address- 111 hope rr sinks in r — r By ftlcFeatters STRICTLY BUSINESS IP That concludes MY APPRAISAL Of TEEN-AG- E BEHAVIOR AROUND THIS HOUSE "THERE ARE ANY MORE WAYMANS TO BE HEARD FROM LET THEM NOW SPEAK OUT - Jerry But Young Jerry was living alone He had not as yet found a mate and that is one reason he was given to roaming That very night found him down on the Big River He didn’t give so much as one little thought to the warning he hadbeen given by his father and mother Copyright 1953 by Thornton W Burgess) The-nestory: “Young Jerry’s Temptation Cr mi n T tmntm WT fcMW M -- By Alfred Andrlola KERRY DRAKE zr' Ar this moment in a SOUTHERN RESORT CITY WO BLAST IT ALL BOSS xt PlPNT MENTION ANY JOB THIS WHEN you HIRED US LIKE Give ’em Wrigley’ Guml Spearmint I Youngs8 '°vc t! - ' HlWul Wsom '°° for Halloween lnexpensive “Did you advertise for an energetic young man?” § aggressive By Fred Hannan RED RYDER YOU CANT DO THIS TO F£ VT 1 A RECKON I CAN' READY UNTIL YOUT?E ONE By Saunders and Woggon STEVE ROPER ME THAT PISTOL' 7 KrAi AND THEATER AISLES ARE NO“WlDE(S v THAN THAT YOU’RE IO FEET AWAY AND WITH THE MR ROPER SEIGER COUNTER SET FOR HIGH SENSITIVITY YOU GET AN AUDIBLE CLICK C!"
