Charging Solutions and Storage
Ratteries

From time to time ideas which
have been relesated to the scrap heap
of impractical suggestions are resur-
rected to fleece those who have not
yet learned of their uselessness.
The latest of these is the idea of
recharging storage batteries by
emptying out the electrolyte and
pouring in a. specially prepared solu-
ton.
II is possible to temporarily revive
a battery by this procedure, but the
harm done the battery more than
makes up for any temporary good
that can come from such practice
Recharging Batteries.
So insistent has been the demand
for information regarding the value
or lack of value of such means OF
,,racbarcing" storage batteries that
the United States Bureau OF olai,u
ards made tests of some of these Solu-
tionc with the result that the bureau
nov warns fans to leave such solu-
tions alone, as being detrimental to
batteries.

nary types of wet batteries in which
two dissimilar metals placed in spe-
cial solution will cause reaction
which results in the production of a
current.

quantity of active material left on the
plates to produce what. seems to be
a new life in the battery, and this is
what is pointed out by demon
strators" of the liquid used.
ANY gain in current is merely tenn.

will be ruined.

GERMANS OPERATE
COLOMBIA AIR LINE
Commercial Service Found
Maintained by U. S.
Naval Officers.

Commercial aeroplane operations are
being carried on with success in Co.
lombia, South America, with German
pilots and by a company largely
owned by Germans, according to infor-
nation received at the Navy Depart
ment. The fact was learned by an
American naval seaplane commander
in recent accommodating expedition
there to determine the possibility for
naval operations from the air in case
of necessity.
His report said a regular seaplane
schedule of one flight weekly is main
tanned between Cartegena and Barra-
quilla, and it was stated that the land
plane schedule was also maintained
between these ports and Bogota. The
type of seaplane used is believed to be
a six-passenger Junker metal mono
plane. Stockholders of the company
said, the commander reports. that they
were making Money, but as they
know nothing of aviation, and no
planes were in Cartagena at the time,
no other information worth while was
obtained. Headquarters of the COM
pany is in Barraquilla. He says that
the pilots and some of the owners of
the planes are Germans.
CaVenaS, he reported, was an open
roadstead and unsuited for seaplane
operations, but said that the harbor at
Cispata was suitable. At Cartegena
there are several hard packed sand
patches suitable for land plane opera
lions, and the harbor makes an ideal
place for seaplane work, although he
said that there were several coral
reefs which would have to be marked.
There are fairly good machine shop
facilities, oil and water are available,
but it takes 10 days notice to the
American consul to get aeroplane gas.

CATTLE PRODUCTION
In TEXAS CHALLENGED
Cotton Growing and General
Farming Cutting Industry That
Made State Famous.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DENISON, Tex, April 20.-Evi-
dences of the passing on of the pic
turesuue frontier cowboy, and the
splitting up of many. of the open
ranges over which he herded millions
of cattle and brought untamed horses
to the usefulness of man and the
industry, are beginning to appear in
the Lone Star State, whose vaStness
is filed with lore in the business of
cattle raising.
Cotton and general farming are
coming to the front as challengers
for honors in the industry for which
Texas long has been the most noted
cattle. Not that the beefers or their
prominence as a big State asset are
to be supplanted; the business is still
and will continue to be a tremendous
one, but agriculture, and particularly
cotton, are showing many cattle men
the way to new fields of crop and
land values.
The Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers' Association lost $50 members
during the year, a large number hav-
ing retired from the cattle business;
but a gain of 210 members also was
noted.
Beef Consumption Grows.
Consumption of beef was shown
creased slightly. AT the conference
of the Association of Southern Agri-
cultural Workers it was agreed that
cotton farming was more profitable
than ranching, and that the Pan
handle was passing on.
At this conference it was said that
Texas 1924 yield of 100000 bales of
cotton would soon be increased to
5000, 900 bales, and that in the near
future the State would yield 12,000,0 900
bales if the State was pressed and
the ranchers and farmers were asked
to respond 1t was added that the
Panhandle ranches were being sold
10 farmers.
Ranchers are now finding it more
profitable to dispose of their lands
TO the farmer, or work them as farms
themselves, and many of them have
|, sold their cattle, disposed of their
teams and cow ponies and bought
tractors.
West and northwest Texas, a vast
domain of rolling plains where cow
boy fiction was famed, are about
ready to give up to later devices.
Where once the lariat and horseman
roamed the chaparral the pillow and
tractor have appeared in some sec
tons.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
STARTS NEXT WEEK
Many Big Cities to Change
Time in Spite of Much
Bitter Opposition.
BY j. c. R0YLE.
A. 1,l,n Sim


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 20.-One week
from today, Harry LADDERS old song,
It's Nice to Get Up in the Morning,
But Nicer to Stay in Bed" will take
on new and poignant meaning to hun
dredS of thousands of workers. This
Is despite the fact that Notwithstanding
changes of time, inaugurated during
the war, seem gradually dying out.
Only a few of the larger cities will
officially change their clocks, but the
fact that some centers like New York,
Z Chicago, st. Paul and Duluth will do
so is sufficient to cause workers in
hundreds of other towns to arise an
hour earlier. The plan of setting the
clock one hour ahead in Summer has
been abandoned in such places as In
dianapolis, Columbus, st. Louis, Fort
Worth, Houston, Kansas City, Omaha,
Des Moines, Denver. Milwaukee, Biz
mingham, Atlanta and others.
Opposition From Farmers.
The change has undoubtedly come
about through opposition of the
Z farmers. In some States it is made
an offense against the law to have
clocks in public places set on daylight
savings time. In spite of this, how
ever, a good many cities voluntarily
adopt the change during the Summer,
simply opening banks, mills, factories,
stores and offices an hour earlier than
during the remainder of the year.
Philadelphia will operate it's bourse
and banks and many businesses on
the earlier time beginning next Mon
day, although the clocks will not be
changed. Mayor Magee of Pittsburgh
has issued statement recommends
ing" that the industries of that city
take similar action.
Brokers Strong for Change.
Those engaged in brokerage bust
nesses or dealing in large markets
have consistently supported the
change, since it prevented New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago from get
ting the jump on them" by an hour.
But those dealing in markets from
Denver west have been merely luke
warm in their support, realizing that
an extremely early opening of their
places of business would tend to re-
duce the number of their customers.
The railroads state through their
passenger traffic representatives that
they are little concerned as to whether
or not any particular locality makes
the change. Through trains have al
ways been on standard time and never
have been affected. The roads have
become so used to handling the
changes in time on suburban train
schedules that absolutely no confusion
is likely to occur whether daylight
saving time is in effect or not.
New Automobile Signals.
Those who drive automobiles to
work next Monday morning will en-
counter changes much more confus-
ing to them than the change in time.
On that date the direction of street
traffic by light signals will be altered
so that there are but two signals,
green to "go" and red to stop"
Formerly red was used only as a
signal that the direction of traffic was
to be changed. Orange was used to
start north and southbound traffic and
green to start east and westbound
movement.

"Lindy Lane" Plays
To CAPACITY Crowd

"Lindy Lane" as presented by the
Henry Carleton Players at tie Coli
scum last evening was one of the big
hits of the season. 1t is a FOUR act
Southern comedy drama trimming
full of action and thrills with enough
comedy in it to keep the audience in
an uproar the most of the evening.
Richard Lloyd takes the part Of an
overgrown country boy who is al
ways getting in wrong to the amuse-
ment of the audience. Miss Kyles as
Martha Lane the mother of Linda
Lane is one of those poor meek wom-
en- who does not dare to displease her
husband and she played the part to
perfection. Miss Peggy Martin as
Linda Lane has rather sorrowful,
lonely life but there are times when
things look brighter and 1t is indeed
marvellous to see the way she can
change from the deepest despair to
joy and happiness. Arthur Hebert
as Abner Lane is one of shose old
Southern Mountaineers who Is very
harsh and selfish and can see only
evil in any sort of amusement. Per-
haps Mr.. Hebert was not any too
popular with the audience last even
ing but IL so it was because he played
his part so cleverly. Mr.. Charles Nc
gineer was, of course the hero of the
play. He and Peggy got into several
mixups during the evening which
were very amusing but those who
have seen Mr.. Mcdonald on the stage
know that he is capable of carrying
any part through in a most pleasing
manner. Miss Mayo as Mrs. May
fair. a writer of books was a scream
and her many dry sayings were the
cause of much laughter. Jack Kear-
ney and Mr.. Carleton took the parts
of two old country gossips who
wouldn't get anyone in wrong for the
world but they were always telling
something that they had seen or
heard which always got Linda Lane
in wrong with her father. The play
will be repeated again tonight and if
you like call 100 and have your fav-
orite seat put aside for you. Next
week will be lively musical comedy
drama entitled 1.-THE Rich Mr.. Poor
with the newest and latest songs.

No Actual Shortage
Potatoes in Boston
Market, Huffman Says

Boston, Nov. 23.-(AP)-Over de-
mand stimulated by fear of possible
shortage rather than an actual
shortage in this market is apparent
ly the reason of the rapid rise OF
potato prices, Eugene C. Huffman,
chairman of the special state COM
mission on the necessaries of life,
reported today. 1t is announced that
a further investigation of the rise in
price of potatoes, would be carried
out. Mr.. Huffman said that receipts
from Canadian sources this Novem-
Der had been 20 times as great as in
the same period last year. He said
the refusal of the consumer to pay
the high prices demanded, coupled
with the additional foreign supply,
has already lowered prices about ten
per cent.
"Those who are gambling on an
anticipated shortage of potatoes next
Spring may have a rude awakening
coming to them, If they sit idly by
while foreign potatoes are sold in
this market at very profitable
prices" Mr.. Huffman saie
