Ralston Is the Man The Democrats of Indiana have acted wisely in selecting former Governor Samuel M. Ralston as the party’s senatorial candidate, and while he is known and respected as an orthodox Democrat, his ability and grasp of public affairs should commend him to voters of ail parties at the fall election. Mr. Rnlston’s nomination, the early returns indicate, will give him a clear majority over his four opponents, demonstrating that the Democrats have great faith in his qualities of leadership. The manner in which Dr. Jesse E. Sanders, the youthful candiQate from Garrett, who attempted to ride to victory on a platform calling for the modification of the Volstead act, was repudiated at the polls is a wholesome demonstration of the good common sense generally displayed by the the state In refusing to recognize a friend of liquor. ot Mr.*Raiston’s opponents, Dan W. Simms of Lafayette and Bernard B. Shively of Marion, are men of ability and would have ably represented the State in the Senate, but Mr. Ralston's wonderful record as Governor of Indiana and bis long years of faithful service to his party and his State commended him so highly to the voters that they expressed th'eir preference in no uncertain manner. Indiana cannot go wrong in sending a man like Sam Ralston to the United States Senate. Watson and the Ugly Word Wild charges are oftentimes made on tlie floors of Congress, and, not Infrequently, in the course of partisan debate, hot words are flung back and forth, but it Is not often the epithet “liar” Is hurled from one Senator to another. When it is invoked, however, it is an occasion of no little excitement, and such was the case yesterday when tho flowery Senator from Indiana, James E. Watson, lost what Is one of his good attributes—a sense of humor —and called a fellow Senator —Caraway from Arkansas—a "liar." Mr. Watson earned the sobriquet that has always followed that venerable prize fighter, “Gentleman Jim” Corbett, for the magnanimity he displayed in immediately withdrawing the objectionable characterization. Probably the gentleman from Indiana felt impelled to use the word when, In his capacity as spokesman for the Administration, he was called upon to answer the charge made by Senator Caraway that $25,000 had been paid to Attorney General Daugherty to obtain a pardon for Charles W. Morse, the New York banker who served a term in Federal prison. Perhaps. too, the accusation came so suddenly that even the versatile Watson •was lost for an answer, and in his temporary helplessness fell back on that short, ugly word which in some circles is regarded as a challenge to fistic encounter. It Is doubtful, however, if the public will consider a single epithet a sufficient reply to such a grave charge as the Senator from Arkansas made. Wood Alcohol Every patron of a bootlegger occasionally has a bad moment when he wonders if, by any chance, the stuff he has just swallowed puts him next on the list of wood alcohol’s victims. Millions of people discuss wood alcohol daily. Yet the average person knows next to nothing abou this mysterious poison, except that it removes varnish, causes blindness and death, and is used by unscrupulous bootleggers, because it is cheap. So, Watson: Methyl alcohol, commonly known as wood alcohol, was first discovered in 1812 by the research cL mist, Taylor. It is formed by the destructive distillation of wood. Also, it can be made from fonr aldehyde, Intentionally or accidentally You observe the possibilities of synthetic hooch made from alcohol that has been “spiked” with formaldehyde or other poisons, by government order, to make It unfit for beverage purposes. Intoxication from wood alcohol Is similar to the effects of pure bonded liquor—at first It intoxicates slowly and is remarkable for the duration of its “hangover,” as undertakers will testify. A teaspoonful of wood alcohol is sufficient to cause blindness, beginning with double vision, falling of the body’s temperature, loss of sensation In the nerve centers, and rhythmic convulsions. A drink of wood alcohol causes blindness ninety timLs out of a hundred, and usually means certain death, thoffigh sometimes the patient lingers for as long as a year. Here is a sentence which, If wTitten indelibly in every brain, would save many a life: “It is worthy of note that In many cases methyl alcohol amblyopia” (beginning of blindness) "has resulted from the excessive use of essence o f ginger, or peppermint, or other aromafics, in the preparation of which the alcohol has been used as a menstruum” (solvent). That Is a quotation from the United States Dispensatory, the official medical guide used by druggists and physicians. What to do when someone has swallowed wood alcohol? Rush for a doctor. Even he can do little except strive to get it out of the system, cause free sweating and administer large doses of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water. Ethyl alcohol—the grain alcohol of so-called pure whisky, sought by many as the elixir of youth—consists of a combination of two atoms of carbon, one of oxygen, six of hydrogen. From that, take two atems of hydrogen. From that take two atoms of hydrogen and one of carbon, and you have wood alcohoL Funny what a difference Just a few atom^nake.
BIG OVATIONS GIVEN WALKER AND JUDITH LOWRY At the Opening of Walker's Sixth Season at Murat Theater
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. Home again. That teils the story. It is not necessary for me to explain the meaning of those words—home again. They >eun that Stuart Walker and his company are now in the sixth season at the Murat. Mr. Walker reflected that feeling at the close of the second act when Miss Beatrice Maude dragged him on the stage for the ovation whieh the audience Insisted on extending. “Thank you,” he said. “There is a bet between some of my friends that I am glad to be home again. This is my home. X have said that before. After first nights in New York and Cincinuati and Indianapolis, I want more first nights in Indianapolis. You don’t know what a wonderful theater you have here and you don’t really know what a wonderful audience you are. I can’t say any more. I thank you.” Mr. Walker came near showing tearful emotions last night in acknowledging the really wonderful ovation which Indianapolis extended to him. It seemed to me last night that Indianapolis people realized more fully what Mr. Walker’s name means to Indianapolis during the spring and sura mer. He gives us clean, beautiful and clever entertainment. He gives us a real company. Some we love more than others because they are old friends. The new members of the company which presented “Honors Are Even” Jumped Into quick favor, especially Arthur Albertson and Donald Macdonald. This Macdonald chap. If I am not mistaken, Is going to make some of the old timers look to their laurels. He has the Juvenile way about him—that wholesome sort of thing that means so much on the stage. We n. ?d more of that honest-to-goodness boy stuff on the stage. There was one ovation lat night which stopped the show and which did . my heart good. It was the greeting given Jurllth Lowry when she made her first , apprann-’p In th£ second *be no sooner had appeared on the stage than , the audience seemed to whisper as one person, ’ That’s Judith Lowry.” Then the revolution started. The audience was so Insistent that Miss Lowry Trad to step from her character and acknowledge the reception. She was the only one so honored. That ■ no reflection on any one else In the company, but we must remember that Indianapolis considers her one of the original Walker players There Is no doubt of the great feeling that Indianapolis has for Judith Lowry. Mr. Walker and the otter old timers.

MR. ARTHFR ALBERTSON. Introducing Mr. Albertson, who la the new leading man for Stuart Walker In Honors are Eten,” which opened the Walker season at the Murat last night before tho largest opening audience In the history of repertory at this house. Mis* Beatrice Maude, who plays the leading feminine role in “Honors Are Even,” was splendidly received, as were all members of the company. At this point I will give in full the cast which presented “Honors Are Even” at tho Murat last night. It b as follows: Belinda Carter Befrrice Maude Vaughan Outerbridge C >rbet Morris Ralph Klngslaud Donali Macdonald Nigel Gordon L'Estrange Mtllinan John Leighton Arthur Albertson Luclle Berkeley Julia McMahon Georgy Hale I.ael Corys David Carter Walter Boulter Parker Robert McOroarty Luigi (lark Hoover Hannah .Judith Lowry As I Journeyed to Cincinnati las* week to see Mr. Walker open his Ohio engagement with “Honors Are Even,” I will not go into detail regarding the acting merits of the Individual members of the bast as I covered this fully in my review from Cincinnati. Hut this I do want to say—This Is the third Mutat opening of Mr. Walker that 1 have covered In my capacity as dramatic editor of TF Time*. In “Hon.irs Are Even,’’ Mr. Walker could not have selected a better opening bill. It Is light, brilliant, delicious comedy and wonderfully well acted and mounted. The truth Is that with the exception of "Smilin' Through," Mr. Walker hn* m*eer given the theater a more beautiful production. Mr. Walker has this interesting snnouncetnent In “Between Acts" concerning the bill for uext week: “Next week Indianapolis will have an opportunity to see another delightful comedy when the Stuart Walker Company presents as the second bill of the repertory season ’Three Live Ghosts,’ by Mui Marcln and Frederick Isham. “This play, with Beryl Mercer in Its central role, was first produced at the little Greenwich Village Theater in New York, and so great was its popularity that it was forced to move to the Nora Bayes Theater, where it could accommodate a larger audience. Here it ran for an entire season.

The unveiling: of the Grant equestrian statue at Washington, D. C., vrltU picked companies from Annapolis and West Point in attendance.
“Though like ‘Honors Are Even,' it Is ■ also a comedy, there is a vast difference In the types of the two plays. In ‘Three Live Ghosts' we are allowed to glimpse a corner of England shortly after the recent war. To their former homes three soldiers return only to find that they have all been listed as dead. One of them has suffered from shell-shock .and as a result has become a kleptomaniac. He steals everything In sight. However, the difficulty of prosecuting a man who is officially dead Is obvious, and many humorous situations result. “The principal character in the story is an old woman, the adopted mother of one of the 'live ghosts.’ Though sha is in every way a lovable old soul, it is very doubtful if Mr. Volstead would approve of her, and it is certain that she would not approve of him. This is the character which Miss Mercer created, and it is she who will play it here with the Stuart Walker Company. The play itself has been seen in several cities on tour, but Miss Mercer has uppeared In it only In New York, having left the cast at the con - clusion of the play’s run at the Nora Bayes Theater “ ’Three Live Ghosts' will Introduce many newcomers to the company—llelle Murry, Harry Green, Esther Howard, Mary Ellis, Leward Meeker. William Evarts and Boyd Agin, as well as giving George Somnes his first role of the season. “The play will be produced under the direction of Melville Burke with a special setting designed by Almertn Gowiag, Mr. Walker's new art director, and executed by Charles Elrod, the new scenic artist." Calling your attention again to “Honors Are Even," you will have a chance to see this pretty comedy all this week at the Murat. It is another Walker gift to Indianapolis. .(. .i. -j. ALSO ON VIEW.

Storage Battery Explained DAILY RADIO FEATURES
By R. L. DUNCAN. Director, Radio Institute of America. The storage battery, one of the most important parts of the receiving set, is usually the most negWcted. There are a few receiving sets on the market that advertise the use of common dry cell batteries for lighting the flament of the vacuum tubes. But they cannot last long. A vacuum tube draws approximately one ampere of current an hour. This pull on a dry battery kills it quickly. The Bureau of Standards at Washing, ton has announced the development of radio receiving set that eliminates the storage battery. But until this is popularized on the market, the radio amateur will have to content himself with the storage battery. There are In general two very good types of storage batteries—the lead plate and the nickel Iron-alkali cell. Lead batteries consist of lead plates immersed in a 20 per cent solution of sulphuric acid. The Jar or container for portable batteries used in radio sets is usually of a hard rubber compound. The plates gre usually of the “pasted” variety. They consist of a flat frame or grid which is made of an alloy of lead and antimony, into which the active materials In form of a paste made from the chemicals are pressed. The structure of the grid Is such as to hold the ma-

Bcflflll Says She’s So r ry—Honest SUE WOXDERS WHY MEN FALL
Perhaps Cleopatra Could Explain
PARIS, May 3.—“1 liked to pull the strings. I liked to play with all of them. Now I’m through with men.” It was midnight In Peggy Hopkins Joyce's boudoir. The most fatuous vamp of modern times, for whose love two men I are said to have killed themselves, who - has been four times married and as i may times divorced and who has run through fortunes totalling s3,'-00,000 In j twelve years, laid bare her soul. She 1 wept because she couldn’t tell the secret j of her fatal fascination. ■ “I liked their admiration,” Foggy | cried. “It was life to me." Ravishtngly gowned in blue negligee, ; propped up In a bed frothy with lace and silks, the former show girl, divorced ; wife of J. Stanley Joyce, drank beer and | brandy, "by the doctors orders to I strengthen my nerves," anil smoked lni cessantl.v as she talked of her conquests ; of men, and their many tragic endings. ; ”1 don’t know why men run after me.” the girl who has had the wealthiest and most influential men of four continents at her feet, declared in answer to a question. “I cannot tell you the secret of my fascination. “Never, no never, did I deliberately try to lure them Into my net. I never meant to ruin their lives:" DECLARES BLOW HAS CHANGED LIFE. The latest of Peggy’s victims, according to her claims, Is young Williain Errazurlz. Chilean youth, who shot himself in the rooms next to her suite on Sunday because, according to Peggy she refused to marry him. The blow has changed her life, the “million-dollar Blren” declared. “I’ve learned that I loved Billy,” she said, speaking of the Chilean youth. "And now it’s too lato. 1 loved him, but I played with him. I dangled him on a siring, just as I did many others. Oh, why did I do it? “I’m young; I’m in love with life. 1 ought to have been contented with the man I loved and who loved me to distraction. But that’s the way of the game. You play with them all and then you don’t know where to stop I loved the ; chase, to have them pursue me. I made! Billy dance the same tune as the rest, and now he’s dead.” Peggy sat up In her luxurious bed, a fetching figure, despite her recent bereavement, and called to her maid to bring in her two tiny poms. Then sho made them romp and do tricks on the lacy coverlet, showing how one liked cigarette smoke and the other “Just loved Mack coffee with a little brandy In it.” “BEK,” SAYS SHE, “IT’S JUST LIRE THIS!” "See,” she cried gayly, “they are Just like these men who love me: they do their tricks because I applaud them. They Just ask iny admiration while I,” she thrust out her beautiful arms In a descriptive gesture, “I insist that they worship mo.” X’eggy was asked to toll what she considered kept the hearts of wealthy men always at, her feet. “The secret of my charm?

from a source of direct current which oxidizes the plate intended for the positive until the active material of the plate is transformed into a lead peroxide—the familiar brown material of the positive plate. The negative plates are reduced from the oxide condition of the paste to a spongy lead, which is of a dull gray color. In making a cell the required number of positive plates are welded to a connecting strap, forming a positive group. Similarly the negative plates are formed into another group which interleave with the plates of the positive. Separators are used between the plates to prevent a metallic connection. OPERATION. During the discharge the peroxide of lead and the active material of the negative plate are converted into lead sulphate, which covers the surface of the plates. When they are well covered, the cell is discharged and has to be taken to a station for recharge. Since it Is Impracticable to open tip the storage battery and look at the plates, one uses a hydrometer to determine the condition of charge or discharge. It is nothing more than a long glass tube with a bult at one end and a small rod inside loaded with mercury or small shot. There is a graduated numerical scale on the rod reading from 1.100 to 1,300. This is dropped into the fluid of the storage battery and the bulb is pressed. In case of a lead plate battery the reading on the hydrometer should not be less than 1,250.

BATTLES BIG FISH AT SEA Diver Has Thrilling Fight for Life With Octopus in Puget Sound. TACOMA, Wash.. May 3.—Battling for his life fifty feet beneath the surface of Puget Sound, Walter McCray, a diver. I came out victorious here over a giant devilfish. The monster wound its tentacles so tightly about McCray that he was unable to reach the knife he carries for ! protection. When one tentacle threatened to cut off the air supply he called through the submarine telephone for a short steel wrecking bar and with it he was able to pierce the body of the devilfish. Then, at last, still struggling desperately, he was drawn to the surface with the monster. While Richard Burnett, a dock watchman, stood by with drawn pistol, unable to shoot because the diver and devilfish were -o completely (angled, others attacked with what weapons there were at hand and at last the devilfish released its hold and disappeared beneath the water.
