 Theory of Storage Battery Springs From Inquisi- tive Human Tongue
By THOMAS R. COOK, Vice President and General Mam- ager of the Westinghouse
 Union Battery Company.

Vice FreSt0ene and 1enGr2L NtM@-
 ager of the Westinghouse
 Union Battery Company. THE storage battery grew out \ of a taste for electricity. 'Taste" is used, according to the original Websterian definition of the word.
 Back in 1767 there was a man who had the whole principle of automobile starting, submarine propulsion, and door bell ringing on the tip of his tongue and didn't know it.
 His name was Sulzer. He re- corded this experiment. in a foot note of 6 book called "New Theory of Pleasures"
 eff two pieces of metal, the one of lead and the other of sii- yer, he joined together and if they thus be placed on the tongue. a taste will be perceived quite similar to that of vitriol of iron; nevertheless, if either ot these pieces be separately applied no vestiee of such 8 taste is left. 1t is not probable that by the junction of these two metals any solution of either occurs, or that the dissolved particles insinuate themselves into the tongue. Ii must therefore be concluded that the junction of the metals causes :a sEe ee the other, or in both a vibration of their particles, and this vibration necessarily affects the nerves of the tongue and pro. duces the taste mentioned"

 Sulzer said something in that book-in one little footnote. It didn't appear to have much to dc with the theory of pleasure, but in fact it did, for the evolved eyeduct of that discovery starts

ANOTHER OUTLET FOR
LIVESTOCK OF NEVADA

Livestock producers OF Jackson
Hole, Wyoming. are planning TO send
a trainload of fat cattle to Los An
geles for the opening of the new Los
Angeles union s~tockyards November
/. A Pullman car has been chartered
TO carry families of the stockmen to
attend the opening of the yards,
which will prove of great financial
benefit to livestock growers of the
west. Several shipments OF sheep
have been scheduled from points in
Utah and consignments of fat hogs
and other livestock are expected both
from California producers and those
of other states for the opening OF the
yards.
A pig club feeding contest now un-
der way in Los Angeles county is to
close at the stockyards the opening
day, when ribbons will be awarded
to school boys and girls who have put
the best finish on their porkers, have
made the most profit and have kept
the best records and written the best
story about the ARE of their pigs.
1t is announced that great fexibil-
ity has been given to the marketing
of livestock through the stockyards
by new traffic agreements effective
the first of November. under which
livestock will take the through rate
To Los Angeles into the yards without
switching charges and will be un-
loaded at the expense OF the rail-
roads. This will mean a great saw
ing to stockmen and makes the yards
a union station for livestock. Feeder
cattle purchased at the yards must
be moved on 10 the feed lots at the
through rate from point of origin to
the feed lots. The privilege OF try
ing the market without other pen
atty than payment of switching
charges and loading charges is also
accorded on shipments where Los An.
geles is between the point of origin
this privilege will be broadly ron
strued and made effective even
though many out of line hauls may
be involved.
The hackers Of the stockyards at
Los Angeles are the executives of the
Chicago union stockyards and assoc
c%iates. who purchased a 300-aere site
just southeast of Los Angeles last
February in order TO develop the
stockyards and an industrial district.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE
FOR FILMING STORY

Arrangements are now well under
way for the filming of Emerson
Hough's great story. THE Covered
Wagon"
AS told in the last issue of the
News the major portion of the mil
lion dollar picture will be taken
on the ranch lands now under con-
troll of a corporation of which Otto
Meek is president. and which were
formerly known in White Pine county
as the Baker ranch.
The lake at Garrison. near Baker,
will play an important part in the big
picture. Men have been on the ground
grown up practically over night. A
large tent was first put up. where the
numerous employees are being furnish
ed with their meals. Electric lights
have been installed and the work is
proceeding in a business-like manner
A dam is being constructed where
the water will be backed up and held
until the time arrives for depicting
the flood scene, when the dam will be
broken and the water will rush forth
on its journey of destruction. The
peril of the pioneers at this point in
the story is thrilling in the extreme.
James Cruze, the famous motion pic
ture director, is guiding the work.
James b.. White, production manager
of the famous Players-Lasky Corpora
ton, recently arrived at Milford, Utah.
accompanied by a corps of assistants.
and Is quoted as saying that the film
ing of the hunt scene, which will be
taken on Antelope island, will begin
next Tuesday and will occupy the time
and attention of the artists for about
six days.
Representatives Of the moving pic
ture corporation have been busy for
several days signing up for teams and
wagons which will be used in taking
the picture. Both four-horse and two
horse teams, with covered wagons and
equipped with a large pillow, are in de-
mand.
Men and women of the pioneer type
are likewise being eagerly sought. Men
with long gray whiskers are most de
sirable. The teams and wagons must
be on the ground at Baker October Ii,
and to those who car furnish the de-
sired equipment the picture corpora
ton is offering a rate of $13 per day
for the four-horse outfit and So pei
day for the two-horse outfit.
A large bunch of wild Texas steers
were recently purchased at Beaver
Utah. These were driven to Milford
and a numbr of yokes were shipped
in from Los Angeles. 1t is no small
task to rope and yoke these steers
They will be taken to Newhouser
where they will be hooked to the wag
ons and broke, after which they will
be taken to Baker for actual use in
the making of the picture.
The filming of the picture at Baker
is scheduled to commence October 15,
when Director James Cruze is expected
to be on the ground and personally
supervise the work.
