10 THE OMAHA DEE: WEDNESDAY. JUNE 21. 1022. Here Is Polarity Test for Batterv Wirri in Solution of Salt and Vt'atrr Will Itarrminr iNVguthe Pole. Radio rnihu!!i who ue rut teres or generators ire sometimes liufflrd when attempting to deter niin' which connection it posimc. With dry tells, t'.tre is no difficulty, ince the carbon or central post is known to be positive, and the zinc or outer pot always negative. So are storage batteries usually marked, the positive terminal carry ing a plus sign or a red mark. It is hard, however, to always locate the marking of an old battery. It is easy to determine the polar ity of the battery by the e of a direct current o1t meter. When the m-edle of the volt nu-tcr travels over the scale in the proper direction, i. e., from zero upward, the positive terminal of the batterv i that which is connected to the volt meter bind ing post marked plus. An infallible tct i to connect a wire to each terminal of the battery and immerse the wire ends in a solu tion made by dissolving about one teaspoontul of salt in half a glass of ater. It will be noted at once that one wire gives off many more bub bles than does the other. The wire which bubbles the more freely is producing hydrogen from the salt water and is the wire which is con nected to the negative terminal of the battery. Sparks Lee Meadows, celebrated pitcher for the Philadelphia Nationals, is a radio fan. Do not place the hands on the stir face of the crystal which is used for a detector. Any dirt or foreign mat ter on its surface will interfere with its rectifying action. Keep vour crystals clean by wrapping them with a piece of tissue paper and plac ing in a small box until ready to use. A sensitive spot on a crystal de tector soon loses its sensitiveness. When your signals begin to weaken, find another spot, and when all the "spots" are worn out, buy another crystal and save yourself a whole lot of bother. Be sure to keep the storage bat teries for your radio set filled with distilled water. This will lengthen the life of your battery considerably, and keep it in good condition. Questions ,. .A J.

Louis Lederer of this city, has a crushed skull and two broken vertebrae, the result of being caught between the platform of a freight elevator and the floor of a storage house., Male Sex Trumphs When Four Men Given Divorces The male sex triumphed in court of domestic relations when District j Judge Sears granted four men their freedom. The men are, William Christopher, divorced from Helen; Arthur Riley, from Margaret Riley; Joe Barrett, from Marvel Barrett; and Stuart A. Murphy, from Eva Murphy. "You --can't always hold the men down," said Bailiff James Cameron, who' stated that the men always man age to get an 'even break' in divorce court. Prayer Each Day Tfca Lord Is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous In mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep His anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us sfter our sins; nor rewarded us ac cording to our Iniquities. For as the Hesvea ts high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. Aa far aa the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from ur. Like aa a father pitleth his children, so ths Lord pitieth them that fear Him. Tm. 101:8-13. O Almighty . God and gracious Father, we beseech Thee, hear our prayer today. Bless us with all health and happiness. Give us sane minds, light hearts, unsullied vision of our duties and responsibilities, and, above all, -a right judgment in all things. Guard our inexperience; keep us from all self-conceit; make us become as little children, that we may be wise: to become gentle. that 'we may be strong; to become! humble, that we may beoome divine. Prepare us to fulfil our course in life with honor; and grant that we may so live in this world that, in the world to come, we may have life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. DAVID K.

All brought up oy tne iimi nwilHer sn4 tarlter in semi- luxury, plenty of outdoor sport, and iresh ar in anunaance. If near vnerinr and nhifrva tion mean anything, I have a right to speak. "Before explaining further, let me tt.it- tin. fir.t nrini'inle: That even covering for the body promotes even circulation, excepting, pcmai's, m case of some major or delicate or gans which might require better pro tection. Also, I believe that children, like flowers and fruits, pertain to dif ferent classes of individuals, some re quiring more covering and heat than others; some not having an ounce of vitality to spare in keeping warm, and all demanding large shares of warmth and mother's love, and con stant, not intermittent, daily care. "No two children are quite alike in their requirements, the condition, temperament and atmosphere they live in calling for judicious adapta tion. Alsa! There is no time and thought for such adaptation nowa days. "Let me say of the hand of flap pers that you defend, I never saw inch wealf1ine. nIHUh. worn OUt specimens of humanity; and if they are out half naked some times, they are certainly in half dead lots of time, and have more doctors' bills and surgeons patchings than I ever saw in my younger days. "To vour flapper's clothing I would ohiect. first, on the ground of modesty and morality. What girl with a gram ot seit-respeci woina expose even only her calves to flip pers, degenerates, and morons? Aye, and particularly to the innocent and immature boys verging on manhood, whose thoughts on the new problem of life are easily excited, and whose balance is yet poor? "But to come back to the bare kneed children. Have you investi aotrl linur tlie sorts are held ud in the middle of the calves, by garters so tight that they leave a oiue mar at night, and ruin the shape of the legs; and the bloomers, to oe nem in style, way up from the knee, and show the thigh as much as possible, also have a band of rubber as tight as the garters, which , doubly stops the circulation? "Did you know that a third band of elastic goes tightly around the waist to hold the bloomers up and do away with the bother of buttons, for everything, at present, is expedi ency and saving time, by blindly fol lowing some unknown leader? I thought tight bands around the waist predisposed to paralysis. "In winter the heavy woolen stock ings. Scotch style, are dark, hard to wash, and, therefore, rarely changed. They absorb and reasborb the poison of the feet, which are, in turn, too hot or too cold. "In summer, with low sox, even then garters are worn across the middle of the calf, and tighter than ever, and children are forever pulling up their stockings and attending to their legs in some way. If this is hy giene and freedom, I fail to see it so! "If in winter the stockings and bloomers met below the knee, where the natural shape of the leg helps the stocking to stay up. thus easily furnishing proper covering, comfort and less rubber bands, preservation of the beauty of the calves, which, at present, are cut in half by elastic, would be insured." Why is a Sneeze? T. H. S. writes: "1. Why is a sneeze? What is nature trying to do that is worth the doing in a sneeze? "Can the sneeze be wholly avoid ed? Should the impulse to sneeze be reoressed as far as possible, substi tuting a sort of inward convulsion for the outward explosion? "2. Why is a cough? Should the impulse to cough be repressed as far as nossible? "Has nature a substitute method of accomplishing the purpose of a cough?" REPLY: 1. A sneeze is a reflex act caused by irritation of a nerve of sensation. The most frequent seat of the irri tation is the mucous membrane of the nose. The result df the irritation is an explosive expiratory effort the driving of a strong current of air through the nose by the lungs and secretion of an excess of fluid by the membrane of the nose. Its purpose is good and, as a rule, the effect of indulgence is good. I know of no harm done by sneezing. 2. A cough is a reflex act caused bv irritation of a nerve of sensation. The most frequent seat of the irrita tion is in the larynx trachea and lareer bronchial tubes. The result of the irritation is an explosive expiratory effort, the driv ing of a strong current of air be tween the tense vocal cords by the lungs. Its purpose is good. The ef fect of indulgence is good if there are sources of irritation to be dis lodged, but otherwise it is not. A desire to cough should be sup pressed except when there is need to clear the tubes. Swimming Pool Inspection. Dr. A. S. Pinto, health commis sioner, announced yesterday that he will establish a system of medical inspection at the public swimming pools. He does not believe he will be able to examine all of the boys and girls, but a close supervision will be made during the rush hours. Children suspected of throat and nose affection will be tested for detection of diphtheria and other diseases.

"I'll not take your wager," I told Lillian, smiling, "for I have no de sire to bet against 4 certainly. Father jut told me Mr. Drake was having some difficulty with the codes." "His trilling variation," Lillian commented with a trace of uiotk ing malice. "I'm only a imvice in Allen Drake's end of this game, hut 1 have a fancy that this time he underrated the tak set him. It wouldn't do him any harm to bump his nose a bit, especially aa he's sure to come out on top finally he al ways does." There was in her voice, despite her feline little vi5li, a distinct tribute to Allen Drake's unusual powers, and I knew that the magnanimous soul of her ua perfectly sincere in her belittling of her own knowledge of codes and her exaliing of Mr. Drake's ability. Lillian can be a trifle malicious occasionally, but it is not in her to be petty. "Do you mean that he will finally solve it?" 1 asked. "He'll get enough of it to that well know where things stand, and he won't take final leave of the thing until every tiniest part is clear to him. Kven if it takes monihs and consultation with foreign experts, and the dove-tailing of their various records, he II linallv get all of it. He's like a bulldog, only more tenacious. But it will be a solar plexus blow to his vanity not to get it all easily especially alter that spiel he made to me. A Laughing Promise. "There's one thing certain. Wc won't know he's fallen down unless your father spills the beans. There's just one person in the world to whom Allen Drake yields deference and obedience, and that is your father, and it is the chief, alone, who will know what he accomplishes or doesn't." A thrill ran through my pulses. To Lillian Underwood and Allen Drake my father's remarkable re juvenation, and the triumph which was almost , in his grasp, were matters of professional joy, of loyal but a bit impersonal pride in a bril liant chief. To me there was a tensely poignant happiness in know ing that the father whom I adored was coming into his own again. Allen Drake's success or failure was a matter of indifference to me when compared with the wonderful news which my father so unobtrusively "pHE crispiest, most appetiz ing flakes of goodness you ever tasted a serving that sets appetite thrilling with delight Post Toasties for your breakfast or lunchl Strengthening and satisfy ing, too; there's energy-building nutriment, and ease of digestion in a helping of Post Toasties.
