pure water it will sink to such a depth
as to have the top OF the water come
10 the 1000 mark on the scale, as
Fig. ?. The very top is the 1000
mark on mary hydrometers. If
placed In liquid heavier than water
it will not sink so far and the nurl-
ber 10 which the top of the liquid
comes will give the weight of the
li1uid as compared to the weight OF
water. Thus the liquid in Fig. )
weighs 13 as mIcE as water does.

In the last part OF the last lesson
YOU saw how TIE water of the cleo

disappears in the form of a gas For
this reason about once n week you
should fill the battery with distilled

A storage battery can only be

LESSON NO. 33.
Ne Storage Battery CONTINUED. }
The Cnnacify

The capacity, or let us say, the
amount of current which can be
stored up in storage battery, is given
IN ampere-hours. Thus, there are 40,
90, so, 100, etc, ampere-hour batter
les. The number of amperes flowing,
multiplied by the number of hours
II flows, being the ampere hours. So
6O-ampere- hour battery can yield
] ampere for 60 hours, or amperes
Tor 80 hours, or 10 amperes for 6
hours, or 120 amperes for p hour. etc
Also TO bring completely dis
charged 6O-ampere hour battery to a
ruiz charge, when charged by a 5-am-
pere current, the battery must be con-
nected to this charging current for
IL hours. As it is customary to give
battery a 10 per cent overcharge,
1t would, in fact, have to be connected
long enough to give 66-ampere hours.
or 8 1-6 hours.
Understanding the above will help
you to tell what the condition of the
battery of your car is. As, for ex-
ample, a starting motor will require
anywhere from 120 to $50 amperes in
order to crank the engine. Assum-
ing that it requires a lSO-ampere cur
rent, then fully charged 60-am-
pere-hour battery would be dis
charged completely in one-third of an
hour, or twenty minutes. Now, the
charging generator charges at about
ampere rate, so that it would
take 10 hours to charge this battery.
Thus you see it takes about 80 min
utes of running to send back the
same amount Of current to a battery
as is taken out or used up in one
minute of use of the self-starter. At
night the lights will take all of the
current made by the generator and
so there will be no charging. At bat
terry will also discharge very slowly
when idle.
From the above you can see that
whore the starter is much used and
the car driven for short runs only,
the battery will become discharged
and have to be recharged at an out
side source; as at a charging station.
If your battery has a tendency to be
come discharged, reasoning from the
above will tell you If the discharging
is natural or if something is wrong,
Testing the Battery.
Sulphuric acid is much heavier
than is water and so a solution of
sulphuric acid and water Gas the elec
trolyte) will be heavier than water
and the greater the proportion OF
acid to water the heavier will be the
solution.
When the electrolyte is first poured
into the battery, much of the sui
phuric acid will be absorbed by the
plates and so the electrolyte becomes
lighter in weight, the proportion of
acid to water becoming less. As the
battery is charged, however, the
sulphuric 1c,d is thrown out of the
plates and into the electrolytc again
thus making the electrolyte heavier
As the battery is discharged, the acid
X,i-again be absorbed and the cleo
t.olyte become lighter.
Here, then, - a way in which tt
see now we'll charged the battery is
namely, by weighing III. electrolyte.
The best way to weigh the electro
lvte IS by means of a hydrOmeter

Nebraska mediation board and stating
all their grievances, they refused to
testify even tho Governor Keith Ne
vile, as chief executive of the state of
Nebraska and chairman of the state
council of defense, had specifically re-
quested that all the facts of the indus
trial war in Omaha be brought to
light.
In advertisements and interviews
the employers emphasized their pa
triotism and deplored the 'disloyalty"
of Omaha labor, while the trades un-
ion spokesmen in June sent delega-
tion to the state capitol at Lincoln and
asked Governor Neville to throw a
searchlight into the whole works. Of
all the fourteen crafts that stopped
work in April and May, only one, the
teamsters, went on strike, declared a
printed statement signed by the Build
ing Trades League and presented to
the governor.
The "teamsters" went out because
their president was peremptorily dis
charged by the C. w. Hull company,
May II. Tho Omaha's interstate ad-
vertising boasts that the city has mo
slums," the following paragraph ap-
pears in the Omaha Building Trades
League statement to the state coun-
Gil of defense:
"Teamsters will return to work for
the following minimum wage scale:
$14 per week, one-horse wagon; SIC
per week, two-horse light freight and
delivery wagons; $18 per week, two
horse coal and building material wa
gons. They ask that at least the en-
ployers agree to give union men pref
erence when hiring teamsters, but do
not insist that the closed shop pre-
vail. The increase in wages asked is
slight, as most of the material men
were working on commission previous
to the difficulty and almost averaged
the minimum wages now asked"
almost Averaged S14 Week"
1t was in this situation where team
sters had "almost averaged Sl4 a
week on one-horse wagons that Judge
Leslie issued blanket injunction or
dering fourteen crafts to keep away
from all struck shop premises or be
liable to the customary Jail sentences
for contempt of court. Note the dis
tinction drawn by Judge Leslie be-
tween property rights and human
rights. If the big, main consideration
were property rights, the judge said
he would have asked for more evidence
before granting an injunction. How
ever, it's something else than prop,
erty rights (human rights? y involved
and so the judge issues an injunction.
Here are the words of the court.
"The evidence in this case Is, IN
some respects, quite meager, and II
the purpose of this proceeding were to
determine rights of property between
the parties, the evidence might not

the city and state are going straight
to hell when the saloons go out of
business is absurd. A large part of
the patronage of saloons has come
from men who worked for wages.
These workers will likely continue to
work, even under prohibition. They
will continue to earn; they will con-
tinue to spend. The men in the busi-
ness Of making or selling intoxicants
will suffer if they do not turn their
energies to other directions. II all
those engaged in the liquor business
lust sit down and do nothing, the gen
eral business conditions will suffer. II,
however, as it seems likely they will
do, they devote their energies to other
lines, there will be little loss to gen.
eral business. The fellow who has
made a practice of drinking little or
much will spend his money in other
lines, so that nothing unusual seems
to be impending, except better times
for the wage-earner, better service for
the employer, better food and clothing
for the wife ard kiddies, and better
times for everybody.-Utah Labor

questions. Attorney Gaines swung
triumphantly toward the board and
called out in a sharp voice:
When a man can't remember, that
is sufficient, isn't it ?"
Bricklayers Union officers testified
they had known Drake many years
and it looked to them as tho he was
being coerced by the Business Mems
association. 1t takes $780, 900 of cred
its to carry Drake along in his busi-
ness and these credits were involved.
This was their conversation with
Drake:
Contractor Fears For Credit.
"Why don't you pull out of the
Business Mems association
"We can't; our credit will be de-
stroyed; we'll go broke"
effect 2"
"My God, man, we can't. The min
ute we violated rule or order of the
Business Mems association our credit
would be destroyed. They would put
the screws on US. You know what that
would mean"
to testify?"
"If it came to that, 1 would tell the
truth"
Bricklayer "Bob" Holmes, many
years chairman of the arbitration
board, testified that he went to his
old acquaintance, Ray Gould, presi-
dent of the Master Builders associa-
tion. Gould said:
Bob, I'd be willing to do anything
in the world for you. But this is out
of our hands. 1t is now in the hands
of committee of the Business Mems
association. They have raised a mil
lion dollars. They are going to make
Omaha bad place for card man to
light"
Into the mediation board record also
went a copy of letter written to R.
B. Carter, an electrical worker of 314
East Louis street, Wichita, Kansas, on
the letterhead of the James Corr Elec-
trio company, of POT Nineteenth street,
Omaha. Corr, an active Business
Mems association member, personally
wrote:
"In regard to work in Omaha, please
be advised that the electricians went
out on strike on April l and now the
Business Mems association has con-
troled the town. From now on Omaha
will be a non-union town. We will
guarantee you protection and steady
work. Please let US hear from you"
Race Riots Not Likely.
Race riots are not likely in the i'm
mediate future in Omaha. But the
Importation of hundreds of black men
to take places of white men during
wage and open-shop controversy is
certain to be an added aggravation
and complication of a condition only
too delicate in normal times. Finance
Commissioner Butler told the writer
that he considers the situation already
grave. He has prepared a resolution
instructing the police department to
disarm negroes and exercise special
vigilance with view to preventing a
repetition of the East ST. Louis rioting.
Hundreds of labor men have signed
petition requesting the resignation
of Public Improvements Commission
er w. S. Jardine, alleging that as head
of transfer company and member
of the executive committee of the Bus
