How to Make Batteries Last. That batteries will last much longer when used intermittently for short periods of time than when used con tinuously for long periods of time not a matter of theory, but of actu test.

In other words, it was possible to ob. 1200 hours of acty | voltage of Reproduction Prohibited.

UPPER MISSISSIPPI ) BARGES RETURN SOUTH Government Boats Make Successful Trip From St. Louis to Minneapolis. By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, May 4.—Four Gov- ernment barges, pushed up Mississippi River from St. Louis on a test trip to prove that the fleet of the Upper Mississippi River Barge Line Co. will be able to revive river transportation on the upper river—forgotten for a quarter of a century—when the com. pany starts operation in April, 1937, yesterday turned back for their re- turn trip to St. Louls. The Gen. Allen, Government tow- boat, will push the barges to Prescott, where the Wynoka, which navigated them as far as Pine Bend, 20 miles down stream from St. Paul, will take them for the remainder of the trip. The Twin Citles will, without fail, have a river freight-carrying service in operation by April, Gen. T. Q. Ash- burn, head of the Inland Waterways Corporation, told business men at a luncheon today. The four barges arrived at St. Paul late Seturday and reached Minneapolis Sunday morning. el Woman Killed in Plane Crash. CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., May 4 P.—Mrs. J. D.
