Why a. tax on radio?
' The onlyargument tor the radio
tax is that the money must be
raised Somehow. I! that is so. why
lift the tax from candy and bever-
ages which now yield $23,000,000
and instead put a tax on radio that
will yield on estimated revenue or
only $10,000,000
The Senate calls radio a. luxury.
This is unfair. The radio is now

The Radio Tax is a. “nuisance

Secretary Hoover have agreed that

We answer this query by stating
mat in all probability nothing was

' a “low gravity" battery and was

The advantage of the
low gravily solution is that it is so
hard on the battery, and the. life
of the cells is lengthened consider-
ably.
Make sure your battery isn‘t a. low
gravity one before you try to charge
itto 1285 or 1300 when it persists in
staying down around 1250.
A sure way to test any battery
yhether high or low gravity is by
means of a voltmeter. A fully charg-
