Maintenance.
As has been previously stated. stor-
age batteries of this general type
(using same type of element) have
been In use In the radio laboratory for
over four years. While no definite
data have been collected to show the
useful life Of such high-voltage bat
teries. some very conservative esti-
mates may be given. The life Of such
batteries is greatly Influenced by the
care afforded them. Good care In
cludes keeping the jars and wax free
of acid spray and dust: keeping Jars
properly filed: keeping within the
proper ampere-hour charge and dis
charge rate: and II batteries are not
normally used at the specified dis
charge rate. they should be exercised

teries Of this type which have been
given proper attention have been in
use for over four years and are yet
quite serviceable. Others have gone
to ruin In six months for want of care

Freeze Ground to Expedite Work.

= 4 :
When building deep shafts through
soft and mos~t ground, the mining en-
gineer very often is confronted by
difficulties that up to short time
ago seemed to be insurmountable.
For instance, water often spurts from
the ground, and it has happened that
water flowed from the walls of the
shaft In such quantities that 1t could
no longer be controlled by powerful
pumps. A very novel methUi was
some time ago discovered which en-
ables the mining engineer to continue
and complete work. The ground
through which the shaft is to pass Is
frozen solid. which makes the work
much easier, doing away with the
danger. The freezing is accomplished
by means of cold air pumped through
tubes into the shaft. or by the clrcula-
tion of very cold solutions"

LOW PRICES OF FRENCH BONDS

The low selling prices of French gov
eminent bonds may not, in the end
proye to- have been significant, but al
the moment it must be admitted thai
the position is dubious. To be sure
Anglo French bonds, guaranteed JOINT
ly BY the two governments, sold well
below the present prices of the two
French external issues dealt IN here
and yet substantially were paid off at
mar. But their decline occurred at
time of serious financial crisis when
all securities of whatever rank were
being thrown over by hard pressed cor
porations and individuals.
The French securities are selling al
their present heavy discount under con
ditions where the investment market Is
showing unexampled vitality, where IN
dustrial companies, which two years
ago could not have borrowed at any
figure. are able to float their securl-
ties on less than G per cent basis and
where even new offerings of new indus
trial stocks are snapped up with such
eagerness that the subscribers receive
only small percentage of their appll-
cations.
Therefore. the present prices OF the
French bonds cannot be regarded in any
other way than as a serious reflection
upon French credit. They mean that
the international banking community
is decidedly skeptical over the outcome
Of events in the Ruhr.

UNCERTAIN OF FUTURE TREND.

Some observers, as yet unConvinced
by the extraordinary cOmposure of the
security markets. during the crisis Of
the last fortnight, maintain that in the
end our business and financial situa-
tion may feel the effect of the troubles
abroad. They have, however, nothing
but the yaguest idea of how this is
going to happen. There is some wild
notion of one nation after another fall
ing after the manner Of a house Of
cards.
1t does not seem TO occur to those
people that America, and for that mat
Ter. Great Britain, can only be hurt
through foreign trade. In the extreme
ly unlikely event of a general tate OF
bankruptcy among the continental ma
lions that were participants in the war,
il would still be true that those ma
tions would not cease production. the
German mark may sink to the level OF
The Austrian crown, the French franc
may have further indefinite deprCcia-
ton. But Germany and France will
continue to turn out goods that they
can sell to the rest of the world, that
they can exchange for food and raw
materials. Consequently, they will have
a certain buying power in the AmCrl
can and English markets, no matter
what happens.
Mexico, China and Turkey all al
fines have been unable to meet theil
obligations. They have been virtually
bankrupt. But this has not affect"'

r. Bruce Brough, well known San
Antonio businessman and banker, rec
ognizing the future possibilities in pecan
culture in the Gulf coast section says
that he recently acquired 1000 acres of
fertile land in Louisiana ideally suited
to nut culture and will plant pecan or
chards. This acreage is near the town
of Elizabeth. southwestern corner
Rapides parish and he plans to sell
1000 acres in small tracts to individ-
uals, retaining the other 1000 for his
own use.
The entire tract, he says, is to be
planted in grated paper shell pecan
trees, with twenty trees to the acre.
He is dividing 1000 acres into units for
sale and is retaining 1000 acres. On
every tract that he sells Br. Brough
says he will plant trees, guarantee care
for them and to pay the taxes for seven
years. More than forty San Antonians
already have purchased acreage from
Mr.. Brough. :
The tract owned by Mr.. Brough is

land which is not at easily WORKED

Some of the most successful pecan or
cbards in Louisiana are located on cut

Mr.. Brough completed his education
at New York State College of Agricu!
ture at Cornell University and has since
become interested in farming in the
southern states. Since pecan culture
was made his special study, he says
that he feels that venture IS NOT

broker, merchont and director Of the

He is a firm believer in the future
of the pecan industry and says he eX

New York, Jan. 27.-The same con-
flicting movements have occurred in the
markets of the world in the last week
as in the week before. The value OF
European continental ourrencies has
continued TO depreciate with the I'M
folding of the French program in the
Ruhr. Along with this, French anu
belgian public securities have kept on
with their decline and the external dol
lar loan of France has sold on the New
York stock exchange well below the
lowest on the record.
The security markets on the other
hand, have remained calm and on the
whole have gained ground. This is true
of London as we'll as New York. 1t is
plain that whatever possibilities may be
conjured up as the result of the French
attempt to collect indemnity claims by
force and the ensuing German resist
ance, holders of stocks and bonds are
not disturbed over the prospect.
