LIGHTER BATTERY PLATES
ARE SOUGHT BY ENGINEER
Experiments May. Result in Sub
stitution of Cellulose for
Much of. Lead.

NEW YORK CP.-Cellulose electric
storage batteries are under experimental
development in the private laboratory
of Edward r. Chandler consulting engi-
neer.
His purpose is to take the. urwieldy
weight out of batteries by. substituting
cellulose for considerable portion OF
the lead now used in the plates. Much
of this lead, Chandler says. Is used only
for support Of the structure.
In place or the excess lead Chandler
proposes to deposit on the battery plates
by new electro plating process coat
ing of cellulose. He says that this COW
ering will form a though, rubbery. fexi-
bic network sufficient to hold the light,
lead-coated plates In position"
The plates will be made from a light
alloy. with lead deposited upon them
electrically. Chandler says that the eel
lulose coating over these plates win offer
virtually no obstacle to passage Of cleo
tricity. -

FIVE PER CENT GAIN
OCCURS IN WAGES

NEW YORK. July 1o.--Industriai
workers today have per cent more
money to spend than they had a yeaI
ago, according to conservative esti-
mates made in reports received from
most sections of the country. The
farmers are in a strikingly better posi-.
ton than they were a month ago.
Wheat is up. and this not only affects
the future prospect of the growers as to
this years crop and regulates the
amount now being received from 1929
grain being harvested, but 1t makes a
big difference in the value of the large
stocks in storage left over from 1928.
Live stock is firm, corn prospects are
fair and the total yield from cotton
may prove satisfactory The fruit
growers are not in as good case and
some of the industrial workers also are
out of luck.
The situation Of the Southeastern
fruit growers is reflected in the numer-
Gus failures of Florida banks during
the week. This has had its reflection
in Northern communities. since tourists
have kept open the financial channels
between the North and Florida. The
position of Northern banks has not
been endangered in the slightest, but
the failures have created huge amount
of extra bookkeeping as checks on the
closed banks come back.
