Lightning Studies Atop Empire State Building By GE Scientists
GE scientists completed their eighth summer of lightning research atop the Empire State Building. They obtained complete photographic records and measurements of strokes hitting the National Broadcasting Company antenna to analyze stroke characteristics and light intensity and to test electrical apparatus in the lab. Photographs from two angles provided a three dimensional view and precise stroke length. The building was chosen because it is struck frequently, sometimes as many as 12 times per storm and 48 times during a season.

New Collars for Old Dresses Cleanly update last year’s wardrobe with detachable collars
Levive Ellis, clothing specialist, says a crisp white collar on a dark dress refreshes style and flatters the face. She recommends detachable collars with snap or button finishes at shoulders and front and back. If design allows, add a neck button and corresponding collar buttonholes for easy washing. The article also notes fertilizing fruit trees two weeks before blooming, using one fourth pound nitrate fertilizer per year of tree age.
