Votes for Women Advocates in
Nearby State Ready for
Field Work.

NLORGANTOWN, Feb. 5.-The for
NAL opening Of the suffrage campaign
in Wtst Virginia occurred this week.
From this date on to the November
election women will play prominent
part in the party news of the state,
the more so because West Virginia
will be the only eastern state to vote
on woman suffrage at the fall cleo
ton.
The issue having been defeated SO
recently in New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and
by margins which were nearer wom-
ems victory than had been predicted,
turned the eyes of the national SUI
frage association to this. the Noun
tain state, and West Virginia women
in their battle for the ballot, will have
the more, il not the material assist
ance of all the allied suffrage hosts
of the country. South Dakota and
Iowa are the only other states which
will vote on woman suffrage in Novem-
Der, leaving West Virginia the only
state east of the Mississippi TO bring
the question before the throne Of mere
man in the busy months of the spring
and summer.

plants were a novelty; today they are
rapidly growing in popularity" says
Mr.. McNair.
"They are usually operated by a
gasoline engine. but in tho eastern
states. and especially in the Appal-
achian mountains. 1t is not uncom-
mon to see water power used for this
purpose. Where the people have
water power the storage battery is
not used.
In every state where farmers care
at all for convenience one will find
a number of lighting plants. Some
farmers prefer the blaugas, acctylene
or gasoline lighting systems, so that
they may utilize the heat. but there Is
n certain element OF danger In using
these systems.

Mrs. Ellis Yost, state chairman OF the

"and this gives the more importance
to our plea for the ballot and makes
our responsibility the greater in the

crate the Current.

Few people realize the amount Of
electric current used in a modern Of
flee building. Perhaps 1t can best be
brought home by giving the figures for
the new forty story Equitable build
ing, New York City. the largest Office
building in the world.
The electrical equipment consists Of
three turbo-generator sets $500 horse
power capacity. II used for lighting
alone, this would provide current for
100000 sixteen candle power Mazda
lamps. This is the size Of the usual
house lamp. The equipment is used,
however, for both lighting and pow
er. There are over 100000 watt
incandescent lamps which are opera
ted with current distributed through
100000 feet or ten miles of conduit.
Less than eleven percent Of the cur
rent generated is used for general
lighting, almost five times as much
being utilized to run the fifty-one
electric elevators and over thirty per
cent of the total for other power
service.
1t is estimated that the electrical
elevators carry $4,000 passengers each
day, or about 100000 year.
AS an interesting comparison, only
six cities in New Hampshire use as
much electric current for all pur-
poses in the year as the Equitable
building, New York City.

CONSIDER HEALTH RIGHTS OF YOUR
NEIGHBOR, DOCTOR DIXON ADVISES

the life and health of a fellow being
Yet many people who would emphat-
ically deny intentionally doing harm
will endeayor to evade rational re-
strictions necessary for the protec-
ton of others.
in the enforcement of the laws
for the protection of the public health
numerous instances occur which show
how the innocent are made to suffer
for the carelessness OF others. Rath-
err than undergo Q temporary restric-
ton of their usual activities, people
will often expose others to communi-
cable diseases; for instance, scarlet
fever.
ut is crime to Willingly expose
children to disease because Of the be-
lief that they will eventually fall a
victim to it. The old idea that the
diseases Of childhood are doubly SER
ious to an adult is untrue. An occa-
sional mild case of disease in one
instance may be responsible for a
serious and fatal illness from this
same disease II it is communicated to
another"

MUCH IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN THE STORAGE BATTERY

lies in the construction OF the positive
plates. The negative plates are es-
sentially the same as those used in
fiat plate cells. The active material
OF the positive plates instead OF being
on the surface Of the plates is con-
taincd in series of hard rubber tubes
which are supported in 'rids. Each
tube is pierced with q series Of hori-
zontal slots which give the electrolyte
access to the active material. A con-
Quoting core OF lead, forming part of
the grid, passes through the axis OF
each tube and not only serves to con-
vey the current to and from the ac-
tive material but also adds greatly to
the mechanical strength Of the plate.
The Iron Clad Exide' battery
shows a capacity greater than the
thick plate battery because of the
greater effective plate surface exposed
TO the action Of the electrolyte. The
life of the plates is two or three times
that Of fiat plate positive by reason
OF the active material being confined
within the hard rubber tubes, which
serve to reduce the rapidity of dis
Indignation OF the material. The ac-
emulation of sediment in the bottoms
of the battery jars is also much slower
than in other types of batteries. The
manufacturer voices his faith in the
battery by giving a liberal guarantee.
Progress in storage battery build
ing has not been confined to the lead
battery, however The nickel iron or
alkaline battery has been very sue
cessfully used for a number of years
past. The vehicle type known as the
Edison "a" followed by number in
dicating the number positive plates
per cell is well known and has
achieved success. It's construction is
quite different from that of the fiat
plate lead battery. Both plates OF this
battery consist of grids, which serve

SAVE MILLIONS BY
UNIVERSAL SYSTEM.
Annual Saving in Fuel Con-
sumption Would Be 250,-
900 Tons of Coal.

The Capitalization Of electrical
power production in four eastern dis
tribution centers would effect an an
nual saving in fuel consumption OF
250000 tons OF coal, or about $780,
100000. This statement was made
by Samuel insult. president Of the
Commonwealth Edison Company, Of
Chicago, one OF the worlds foremost
electrical men, in recent address
before a leading scientific convention.
1.-THE coming of universal system
Of electrical supply is as inevitable as
day and night. 1t will mean enor-
nous savings to manufacturers OF
transportation, a very large saving in
labor, interest, depreciation, general
capital charges, the preservation Of
natural resources, lower relative con-
sumption OF copper, lead and other
metals, and will lead to lower cost
Of production. and so to lower unit
price to the smallest user. correspond
ing to the most efficient mobilization
of the business. There would be a
gain to all classes down TO the occu-
pants Of the smallest city fat cheap
err power and low priced light for
rich and poor alike. Although 1t does
not seem possible to try this out on a
national basis, the uniflcation OF cleo
trical supply is steadily proceeding.
and in adding to the wealth Of the
country and as a factor in reducing
costs it is putting us in better posi-
ton to compete in the markets of the
world"
According to best estimates. based
upon figures furnished by the inter-
state commerce commission, 135,O00,-

as supports for the perforated tubes
containing the active material. The
positive plate consists OF two horizon
tai rows of vertical steel nickel plated
tubes containing faxed nickel by
drate in very finely divided state. in
teBDersed with thin layers Of pure
nickel. The negative plates resemble
the positive ones in that the material
Of which they are composed, iron OK
ide, is held in series of fiat pockets
composed of perforated nickel plated
steel held in grids. The electrolyte
is a potash solution and has free ac-
cess TO the material composing the
plates through the minute perforation
which pierce the containing steel
tubes.
The batteries are literally guaran-
teGd by their manufacturer. who has
just demonstrated his faith in his
product by extending the period Of the
guarantee from four to five years.
The demand for a cell of somewhat
different characteristic has been met
by the development Of new type of
cell. This new cell, which has just
been placed on the market, Is known
as the Edison &c" types. 1t is dis
tlnguished, as is the "a" type, by
number indicating the number of pos
tive plates per cell. The new cell
follows the general lines of the "a"
type in construction, the principal
difference being reduction in the
diameter of the tubes composing the
positive plate This reduction in tube
diameter not only makes the thick
ness of the plates less but permits
of more tubes being placed In each
grid, The reduction In plate thick
ness makes it possible to place more
of them in a given size can or con-
tainer and hence a greater battery
capacity in given volume.

Doctor Dixon speaks of the neces-

Especially, he dwells upon the ex-

common to childhood and warns
against deliberately exposing kiddies
to contagion. Also. he points out the
fallacy of the rejected belief that a
child's disease, when contracted by an
adult, is doubly severe. Doctor Dix

RAILROADS CALLED
DEVICE or The DEVIL.

. Time was when people
thought a railroad was a de
vice of Satan" So at least
says a Brooklyn paper. Back
in 1928, the school board OF
Lancaster, O., refused to per-
nit the school house to be used
for the discussion of the ques-
ton as 10 whether railroads
were practical or not, and the
matter was explained by the
board in the following Ian
guage:
"You are welcome to the use
of the school house to debate
all proper questions in, but
such things as railroads and
telegraphs are impossibilities
and rank infdelity. There is
nothing in the Word of God
about them. II God had de-
signed that his intelligent crea-
lures should travel at the
frightful speed Of fifteen miles
an hour, by steam, he would
have clearly foretold through
His holy prophets. 1t is a de-
vice of Satan to lead immor-
tai souls down to hell
And, that was less than nine
) ty years ago.
