SEEK TO LOCATE
STATE INSTITUTION

The extra session of the general
assembly appropriated 100000 for
the establishment of an institution
for Predetermined. While the bill
does not set out the fact in so many
words, the institution is intended for
the Predetermined children Of the
state. The act passed both houses
without a dissenting vote. Senator
w. M. Cameron Of South Pitts
burg championed the bill and in the
senate made strong appeal for
the appropriation of $4,000 as
originally named in the act. So
impressed were the members of that
body with the need of such an insti-
tuition as explained by Mr.. Came
ron that on the motion of Senator
Frank Fuller of Memphis the bill
was amended by striking out 10000
and inserting 100000. The board
of administration was authorized at
the regular session Of 1919 to estab-
fish such home, but the legislature
having in mind the possibility Of
utilizing already owned by the state
appropriated only $4,000 for the
maintenance fund. The board Of
administration was unable to COM
ply with the provisions of the bill,
as no building at it's command was
available, and so it become necessa-
ry to make an Appropriation with
which to buy a tract of land and
erect suitable buildings. 1t had
been the hope Of the board that
some one would donate the land,
but as this has not been done, it
now becomes necessary to purchase
a tract out of the 100000 appro-
priated by the legislatures, using the
remainder for putting up the build
ings. The board has given much
thought to the matter of a proper
location for the home, having sever
al available sites in mind, but no
definite conclusion has yet been
reached 1t was at first contemplated
establishing the home on the Her
bert domain, but the objection was
made by some that the remoteness
of this tract from social influences
might not prove to be of advantage
ito the inmates, and so the admins
tration authorities are now cOnsid-
ering other available locations not
so far removed from the capitol of
the state.

WHY is A SEPARATOR?

In an terview yesterday o. l.
Parrish, of the Prest-0-Lite storage
battery service station at Martin,
corrected some prevailing misappre-
sions about the separators Of stOr-
age battery plates.
"PeOple seem to think" he said,
"that separators have several mystic
riOus functions to perform in the
production of current. This is a
mistake. They have but one func-
ton, and that is to separate the pos
tive and negative plates of a bate
y. A-@Hss .=.sss;z e''4'+ %
"Separators must be substantial
enough to hold the plates apart so
that there will be no possibility Of
shortcircuiting during charge or disl
charge, and at the same time they
must permit just as free circulation
OR diffusion of electrolyte within the
cells as possible-just as little resist
ance to the passage Of the current
through the cell as possible.
"Any electrical novice must know
that resistance to the passage of cur
rent cuts down the efficiency Of a
battery. The least possible resist
ance is offered by specially treated
wood separators. In this particular
case of the Prest-O-Lite battery
separators made of certain wood
are treated by a special process
which not only gives them this indis-
pensable property of least resistance
but also renders them so impervious
to any carbonizing effect of the
electrolyte that it is believed that
the ideal medium has been reached"
