AS in the case of dry cells, the volt
age of storage cell is practically
the same, no matter how large or
how small the battery may be. The
conventional value Of the voltage of
storage battery is taken as two
volts although this value varies
above or below this conventional
value, according to the condition of
charge of the battery.
When fully charged. the voltage Of
a single cell consisting Of one set Of
positive plates and one set OF mega
volts: when discharged to safe
point. the voltage will drop down to
about 1T volts. If discharged still
farther beyond the safe limit, the
voltage will drop rapidly until 1t
reaches zero voltage.
The storage battery formed by
connecting two or more cells in
series to get higher voltage bat
terry is described in terms of the
voltage of the battery. taking the
terry formed of two cells connected in
series is spoken of as a "4-volt bat

as a "6-volt battery" one of six cells
is spoken of as "12-volt battery"

tain size, therefore, it is necessary to
state the ampere-hour capacity and
the voltage.
Capacity Of u Battery.
The capacity Of a battery depends
on the surface area of plate surface,
while the voltage depends on the
number of sets of electrodes con-
nected in series.
AS is the case with automobiles.
locomotives and other engines and
mechanisms, batteries are espe cially
designed for the work which they are
called upon to perform.
While all locomotives are built
along similar lines, the principles
which govern the design of high
speed passenger train locomotives
and those that govern the design of
much more powerful. but slow-mov-
ing ones are different to a consider
able extent.
The same holds true in the design
of passenger pleasure automobiles
and motor trucks, racing motor boats
and tugboats.
And so 1t is in the battery field.
Some batteries such as starting bat
teries for automobiles are designed
to withstand the drain of a large
current for comparatively short

Only Divorces Year Legal
For a Couple in Soviet Russia

In consequence Of the fiexibility of
the Soviet civil code covering domes-
tic relations. divorces in the Moscow
district increased by As per cent dur
ing the first six months of 1924. as
compared with 1923. In many cases
the applicants for divorces were mar
ried only from three days to three
months. In other cases couples di-
vorced had been married from to
40 years. Religious superstition was
one Of the most frequent causes given
in applications for divorce.
The ease with which a divorce can
be had under the Bolshevik regime
contrasts strikingly with the Difficult
ties which beset those who sought
separation during the czarist days,
when divorce was almost impossible
on account Of the opposition of the
church and the severity of the i'm
perial statutes. In those days IL re-
quired from three to six years to Sc
cure the annullment of a marriage.

terry has been used to determine
whether or not the battery needs re-
charging. The only guide you should
use is your hydrometer.
II you have charging device at
home, never allow the battery to dis
charge to a point below 1900. If you
must send it out to be recharged and
insist on getting your moneys worth
from each charge, you may wait till
the hydrometer reading drops to
1850. The practice of allowing the
specific gravity of the electrolyte to
drop below 1850 will quickly ruin
the battery as far as it's use in radio
is concerned. Batteries for other
uses can be neglected to certain
extent without causing serious trou-
BILE, but to get worthwhile reception
in radio the battery must be in good
condition.

MOSCOW, July 22-Soviet Russia
offers far more advantages to persons
seeking easy and quick divorces than
perhaps any place in the world.
Under a new decree a divorce can
be had within five minutes at a cost
of $3.50. provided both parties agree
to the dissolution of the marriage ties.
If. however, one party objects to dis
solution, the case must be referred
to the courts. which will decide the
question on it's merits.
Misconduct does not constitute a
valid reason for the annullment Of
martial ties, but desertion, religious
superstitition, excessive religious
piety, incompatibility of tempera-
ment and divergence in political
views are held to be sufficient causes.
No Russian may obtain a divorce and
remarry more than three times within
one year
