A fully charged battery should register from 1,260 to 1,300 while discharge should never be carried below the 1.180 point.

A very good plan to follow Is never to allow the specific gravity, as Indicated by the hydrometer, to fall below the 1.200 mark. This precaution insures the fan against the possibility of a completely discharged battery. The tops of the cells should be kept scrupulously clean of acid spray and dust. If this Is allowed to accumulate, leakage and corrosion take place, and noisy operation results. A very good plan la to periodically clean the top of each cell And as she prepared to rejoin her SiW IFF blond wig In the Kansas City chorus.

Vonee offered a final bit of advice: "Always tell your husband the truth.

Vonee she's Mrs. Tim Ponurko Just at present is weary of husbanding. She's only 20 years old now, but In the last three years she has had three husbands and almost a fourth. The first one wouldn't pay her hospital bill, it seems. The second yes, It was the second depended on her earnings to pay alimony to a former wife.

The third tilled the almost fourth with bullet holes and has gone to prison. He's still her husband, this shoot-Tim I'onurko. And does Vonee leel differently about Tim now that he has been sent to prison Not at all. "My duty la to my husband," she says. "I shall do everything I can to make life happy for him.

There Is no more to be said. But meanwhile Vonee sees no rea should be done after charging in order to keep down gassing and possible "boiling over." Chemically pure water should be used whenever necessary. Never Introduce acid, for he was so much for love that one It Is only the water that Is lost woman was not enough. He had been married before.

Not only must this battery be capable of delivering a steady flow of current over a considerable period of time, but In addition must be economical and require a minimum amount of ittention.

However no matter how simple an appliance is made, a certain knowledge of its fundamental principles is always desirable In order to secure the must satisfactory service. Thus while it Is not necessary for the fan to know the complete ins and out of his storage battery, It will stand him well in hand to be familiar with a few of the detalU concerning its maintenance.

Meanwhile Vonee, known to local police as "the love girl." has kissed the numerous and sundry firesides of her past goodby and Is on the stage, wearing a blond wig so those gossipy home folks won't recognize her when they drop Into the musical comedy in Kansas City. She has been on the stage long enough, in fact, to assert vehemently that chorus girls work hard and. are good girls and are terribly misunderstood.

This throbbing little bunch of human emotions started going In for husbands when she was 17. None of her ventures has been what Vonee would term an unqualified success. So Vonee has gone back to the chorus show, where she can thrill men by the hundred instead of one at a time. A Good Provider.

The brown plates are the positive while the gray ones form the negative. The number of plates in each et determines the capacity of the battery. Thus when we speak of a ll-plate battery, reference is being made to the total number of plates of one cell. In this case, each cell would contain six negatives and five positives and Its capacity would be in the neighborhood of 80 ampere hours. This latter point perhaps requires explanation.

It simply means that, roughly speaking, such a battery would deliver 1 ampere for 80 hours, or for 40 hours, and so on for any multiple of amperes and hours whose product is 80. It is true that as the current Increases the capacity does not stay at SO but becomes less. The solution of electrolyte which covers the plates of each cell Is another extremely vital part of the storage battery. This is a solution of chemically pure sulphuric acid and water mixed in correct proportions to give a certain specific gravity.

This Instrument should be in the possession of all fans equipped with the lead-acid type of battery, as It Moines and began talking marriage. Vonee overlooked the Jetail of informing Ponurko she was married. A little later, Vonee wanted her divorce, but didn't have enough money to pay for It.

Then she poured out her troubled soul on Tim's sympathetic shoulder, and Ponurko furnlBhed the balance of the Installments on her divorce. Just two weeks later, May 6, 1926, she and Ponurko were married. They had occupied their love nest in Des Moines only six days, when Allridge hove into port from his tour of the gulf flag poles and looked up Vonee. He renewed his courtship. Allridge made known to Ponurko his determination to have Vonee for his own.

Vonee, according to statements at the time, assented. Allridge had some money, and pawned all his clothes except those on his back to raise more. Then the Shoot Then came the meeting for final arrangements, the morning of May 18. Ponurko and his wife were waiting. Tim went out, bought a gun, and returned.

Ponurko told police about the rest of it later. "Allridge arrived, sat down, and Vonee sa.t at his feet, laying her head in his lap," reads the police statement.
