Billion Dollar Demand.

In other quarters it is declared the Russians are to demand a loan of one billion dollars, either in money or goods. They will also insist that the allies grant in principle the right to nationalize property without in identification and acknowledge their right to settle frontier questions di- rectly with the nations concerned.
 Clause VII of the allied memoran- dunn to Russia is the clause relating to the status and disposition of for eign owned property in Russia na- tionalized by the Soviet government.
 Frances Attitude Firm.
 In a statement to the Associated Press before anything definite was known concerning the Russian reply the French delegation announced that Frances attitude on the foreign prop erty issue as regarded Russia would proba1y remain firm. whatever attitude Belgium might eventually adopt.
 The attitude of the French delega- tion is the result of public opinion in France, which is bringing great pressure to bear upon the government to make no concessions regarding the inviolability of property rights, the statement says.
 French industrial companies, it adds. have recently conferred with Premier Poincare and urged him to take strong stand for the restoration of foreigners property. as otherwise, they argue. future investments in Russia would be hopeless, as the French public would refuse to ad- vance funds when it had no assurance that property rights would be re- spected.

Leaves Way Open.

The Russians reply to the allied memorandum today was expected to leave the way open for continuance of their negotiations with the powers represented at the Genoa conference. The Soviet delegates, it is understood, have gone the limit in concessions in an effort to avert a breakup of the meeting. They will urge, according to one source, that the political fea- lures in the allied note be excluded. but will stand by the principle of standardization of foreigners property in Russia, the question which has aroused the most anta gonism among the French and Belgians.
 It is also understood they will pro- pose organization of a special com mission to adjust matters in which their communistic system clashes with the economic structure of the other European countries

NEW BATTERY CHARGER SAD
 TO BE SUCCESS
Many Stations in Arizona Are Installing System Charg-
 ing in Less Times

The Constant Potential System is the latest development in the battery charging methods. Through it's ef- ficiency and care in construction it has relegated other apparatus into an obsolete class. This system has been installed in Spaulding's Electri- cal shop of Phoenix, Glovers battery station in Tucson, McCoy's Service Station in Douglas. and Frank Thay- CTS garage in Lowell. These sta tions have gone to considerable ex- to give the car owners of their cities the efficient and economical care, which can be derived only through a Potential. In equipping with the Constant Potential they are offering of charge with an apparatus re- presenting considerable investment, the least time and expense possible, and a better and more complete charge.
 The constant Potential System will not overcharge and cannot injure a battery. Due to the rapidity of the charge all of the sulphate in the plates is removed, giving a lasting charge.
 With other battery charges the bat teries on the line are connected in series. For example: if we have twelve, six volt batteries on the line, each battery requiring a little over seven volts for charging, it means that the total voltage of the circuit is a little over eighty four volts when the proper voltage should not be more than seven or seven and one-half volts. Hence the operator is compelled to hold the amperage down to four or five amps, or burn the batteries up. This is the reason why it takes from thirty six to forty eight hours to charge a battery with the old method
 With the new method. as represen- ted by the Constant Potential. the current is conducted through what is called buss bars, which are made of copper and large enough to carry current of low voltage and high am- perage without resistance The bat. | terieS are connected to these buss bars in parallel, each battery re
 ceiving it's proper voltage, thereby
 enabling the operator to run the
 amperage at a much higher rate
 charging the battery without heating
 in six to eight hours, getting a better
 result with greater benefit to the
 battery, han long slow charge
 would deliver. The consideration
 of the expense saved in rental char
 ges and the convenience of receiv
 ing your battery so promptly will
 appeal to most car owners, and ra
 dio set owners

Motorists mechanically inclined may be able to fit this form of heat CT into their cars themselves. It is a hot water heating system. A pipe connects the heater-a cylinder foot rail-with the circulating system of the engine, as shown.
