New Storage Battery
Upset Old Theories

It is now possible to have a storage
battery which will give efficient service
under all conditions, without getting out
of order or needing repairs. This battery,
now available to the motoring public, is
known as the Ray, manufactured by the
Ray Battery Company, Ypsilanti, Mich.
This battery was originated and perfect
ed by Thomas Lavier. A professor of
Chicago, supposed to be an authority on
electric chemistry, and has written lot
of books on the subject, said that the Ray
battery claim to the effect that they could
charge their battery through the opposite
way, was an absolute lie. because it was
not in the book. Therefore, Mr.. Lavier
made a special trip to Chicago with
battery and went out to the professors
establishment. With the professors in
struments, before his own eyes, Mr.. La
vier completely discharged this battery
and then charged it through in the oppo-
site direction, reversing positive to mega
tive and negative to positive, charging it
way up in the other direction SO that the
specific gravity showed close to 1900; in
all three cells, and there was a 2 ITO
voltage in each cell. After he had COM
pleted this remarkable performance, the
professor looked at him and said: 1.-THE
books have got to be rewritten" The
New England Velie Company are dis
tributors for the Ray battery in New
England territory.
These batteries are sold at the

The Home Owners

1t is commonly said that the
United States is becoming nation
Of people who live in rented dwell
ings and have no homes of their
own. In la.se cities, anyway, wan
dering tribes of nomads drift around
from one apartment to another. But
as a whole there are more home
owners than some of us have real
lied.
The 1920 census figures show 10,
$4,000 who own their homes, COM
pared with 12,943,59S who rent. The
farmers andyother country people,
are a class that still provide many
home owners. There needs to be
more effort to induce people to own
their dwellings, through loan asso-
Citations and otherwise. When folks
acquire a stake in the 1soil, they
begin to make permanent improve
ments and work for community i'm
provement.

HAD IDEAL DEMOCRATIC RULE
In Early Years of the Republic, Roman
Citizens in Mass Meeting
Enacted Laws.

The constitution of the Roman re-
public, especially during the early
centuries of its existence, was demo
cratic beyond any constitution known
today. The citizens of Rome assem-
bled In mass meeting called the
cOmltia, and enacted the laws, and the
people each year elected two chief ex-
ecutIve officers, who were called con-
suls. Another important office was
that Of the tribune, who was also
elected for year. He possessed the
veto power, that Is. he could veto or
annul laws passed by the comitia,
and was held to be the special and
powerful guardian of popular rights
and the welfare of the commonwealth
The number was Increased, and the
body of tribunes became one of the
most powerful parts Of the govern
ment According TO the modern use
of the word, tribune Is a champion
Of the rights and liberties Of the peo
pie.
The word also had another mean
ing, being used as name for plat
form and especially the platform and
pulpit-like structure In the French
chamber of deputies from which q
member addresses the assembly.

stones Tina. Absorb Water.

Stone Is by no means impervious to
water. Some kinds, notably coarse
sandstones, hold large percentage.
Even marbles absorb quantities. The
absorptive capacity of limestones
ranges from per cent or more
down to practically zero. Porous
limestones to which the pore space
ranges from 10 to 10 per cent, will
absorb from to 9 per cent of
water, according TO the United
States geological survey, Department
of the Interior, whereas semicrystal-
line and crystalline limestones or mar
bles have lower percentages of pore
space and absorption, such marbles as
those from Vermont, Tennessee and
Georgia being almost nonabsorbent.
Pumice stone, which Is usually lighter
than water, owing to its great amount
Of pore space, will absorb large guam
titles of water; obsidian and volcanic
glass which are of the same chemical
composition as pumice stone, but sew
eral times heavier than water, will alb
sorb none. Quartzite, granite and the
numerous eruptive rocks are practi.
cally impervious TO water.

people have asseverated for many
years that certain incidents have
warmed the cookies of their hearts"
Etymologists have been puzzled over
the expression, and so far have sought
In vain it's derivation. The theory
most favored lies In the general re-
semblance, more fancied perhaps than
real, between the human heart and
the cockleshell, the base Of the heart
being compared to the hinge of the
bivalve.
Whether by coincidence or other
wise. the scientific name for the
