AUTOMOBILES
Importance Of the Care Of the Storage
Batteries Of Automobiles

Too many dealers have trouble with
customers buying cars equipped with
electric starters because OF the storage
batteries, and the trouble is not in the
storage battery, but it Is in the way
it is handled.
Messrs. j. w. Levitt & Co, Overland
distributors on the Pacific coast, claim
that they have absolutely no battery
trouble and Mr.. Plughoff explains the
reason for this condition as follows:
When a man buys a car so equipped,
and after he has taken delivery of the
car, the last thing before he leaves,
the salesman says to him: "Mr Jones,
there isn't anything more important in
the upkeep of this car than that you
give the most careful attention to the
storage battery" He then explains what
attention is.
If. later, an owner comes in and
complains about his battery, the sales
man only to say, Mr. Jones, your
trouble is due to your not having done
as we told you to. and explained in our
instructions about taking care of bat
teries; for instance, you haven't kept
the plates clean" MIR. Jones is then
very apt to want to know just how
necessary Sat is, and then the sales
man can explain how dirty plates pre-
vent the chemical action necessary for
the setting up of electric currents that
it is just as necessary to take the
plates and scrub them as it. is to keep
your teeth clean.
Then the next argument advanced
by Mr.. Jones is that electric lighting
and starting is too expensive and that
if he had known that it was going
to cost so much he would not have put
1t in. In reality, it is not so eXpen-
sive and if the matter is properly eX-
planned to Mr.. Jones he will realize it.
The explanation is given as follows:
The first lighting for an automobile
was furnished by carbine generator;
you had to turn the water on the car
bide, put your mouth UP against the
hole in the tank, force the water into
the carbide, then wait while, then go
around front and see IT, the gas was
generated, try lighting up few times
and finally get under way. This is
very cheap.
The next method vas the Prest-O-
Lite tank, and you had to turn this
on, and go around and light the lamps;
it was a little less trouble but consid-
erably more expensive, for improve
ments always cost money.
The next improvement Incorporated
in the lighting was startling-now the
lighting is all done by simply turning
a switch when getting in or out of
a car-no waiting or exhausted tanks

MOTORISTS PAY
LITTLE HEED At
RAIL CROSSINGS
Statistics Gathered in Texas
Prove Majority of Drivers
Speed Over Tracks With
out Looking Aside.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 1S.-The safety
first department of the Ell Paso g.
Southwestern railroad is collecting
some interesting and valuable statistics
on the probable cause of motor car ac-
cidents at railroad crossings. This de-
partment recently stationed repre-
sentative at the crossing of its track on
Oregon street in this city for the pur-
pose of keeping a record of the manner
in which each motor car driver APP
preached the crossing During a given
time this man was on duty a total of
1907 cars crossed the track and each
driver was classified as to his regard
for safety and carelessness.
The figures show that so per cent of
the motorists, in crossing the tracks,
did not look in either direction; II per
cent looked in one direction and but 2
per cent of the whole number looked in
both directions before crossing.
Race Across Tracks.
A total of 290 crossed the tracks at a
speed greater than 20 miles an hour,
without looking in either direction.
Six saw a flagman posted at the tracks
and crossed despite the warning.
In a statement issued by the Eel Paso
& Southwestern railroad it is shown
that during the two years ending June
80, 1912, 800 motorists were killed and
$50 injured by being struck at railroad
crossings. No figures of a later period
are available but it is said that the
large increase in the number of cars
naturally would lead to the conclusion
in the number of accidents. It is in
order to educate the people along its
line to have better regard for the
rules of safety in driving their cars,
that this campaign has been inaugu-
rated by the safety department of the
Eel Paso Sc Southwestern. 1t is ex-
pected that sooner or later action will
be taken by other roads of the south
west in obtaining data on carelessness
at railroad crossings.

EDISON COMPANY
BUYS MANY FORDS
How Corporation Manages
to Keep Pace With the
Growth of Detroit.

In the city of Detroit is large and
successful public utility corporation
which generates and sells electric cur
rent for light and power. 1t is said
that electricity may b. bought cheaper
there than in any city of its size in the
United States. This is a good thing
for the city, as cheap power is u mag
net of Remarkable pull, which draws
manufacturers, large and small, in
droves. 1t is also good Tor the COM
pany as its product finds ready
market.
Inc Edison company is guided by an
able and farseeinG management, who
have placed it in commanding posi-
ton. AS new apparatus has been add
ed to meet the demands OF COM
munity OF phenomenal growth, it has
become the policy of the company to
standardize the equipment.
Such concern cannot afford to
take chances on long continued shut
down OF its machinery and /. is COM
PEELED to carry a number of spare
parts to replace those tina become
broken or worn out. This stock of
spare parts is reduced to a minimum,
however, by the policy of standardiz-
ing the equipment, and the money
saved in this way is one of the items
which make it po ssible to sell cur
rent at a low rate.
When automobile equipment was
installed, the management naturally
selected the Ford rs the standard for
certain kinds of work. Out of 108
cars of all descriptions, including
trucks, owned by this corporation, AZ
are Fords, II of them purchased since
the first of the year.
The already grea. number of small
customers of the company is being
daily increased by the efforts of a
dozen solicitors travelling in Fords
The statesmen are assisted in their
work by d corps of engineers, whose
business it is to make tests and re-
port to prospective customers the ad-
vantages OF installing electr current
for power. Here again the Fords come
in as the instruments carried by these
men often weigh as much as the man
himself. There are thousands of GUS
toners in various sections of the city
and their electrical apparatus requires
the attention of a staff of trouble
men" hurrying about in F'ords. Fore
men of various departments are often
called out on the job and must get
there quietly. Without the Ford, the
company would be enable to keep pace
with the growth of the city.

some of them were, they proved prin-
ciples that made the whole automobile
world sit up and take notice.
The first real discovery was the
comfort of the narrow tread and the
exploding of the idea that in order to
be comfortable on rough roads car
must necessarily be heavy. These
little vehicles proved that comfort was
not obtained by gross weight but by

HOLDING COMPANIES
|. ASK MORE LEN|ENCY
IBY LEASED WIRE1

WASHINGTON, May 12-Repre-
senting a single holding company,
which controlled the securities of gas,
water, electricity and steam railway
companies in 1875 cities through the
United States, Bernard Flexner, Of
Chicago, today pleaded with the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee to
soften the provision of the Newlands
antitrust bill as affecting holding
companies. He urged that the section
which prohibits the sale Of new stock
of a corporation at less than par be
amended so that the interstate trade
commission could decide in each in
stance at what price the stock might
be sold.
Flexner declared that it has been
recognized uniformly that the way to
control public utilities is not through
competition. He said that the acquisi-
ton of the stock of one public utility
company by another generally led to
cheaper service to the public and that
few of the smaller towns could have
had gas and electric and street rail
way improvements originally had the
companies not been backed by hold
ing companies.

DELIVERS TAX TALK
Robert Lyons Addresses the
Commercial Club.

Robert Lyons, winner of the school
contest in oratory on a subject of
the most needed reforms for new
state constitution, delivered his ad-
dress last night before the members
of the Commercial club, and was en-
thusiasticall applauded. Some of the
points he brought out were entirely
new to the members of the club who
have made no special study of taxa
ton, and discussion was started.
The seven-minute speech will be
that which Mr.. Lyons will deliver at
Rushville when the schools of the
Sixth district compete for representa-
ton at the Indiana meeting in Indi-
annapolis. The meeting will be held
at Rushville Friday.
In the development of his speech,
Lyons brought out, first, the reasons
for his declaration that taxation re-
forms are the most needed in the
proposed new state constitution. He
then showed some of the evils of the
present system and suggests changes.
His delivery was excellent, and he did
not use his manuscript.

SMASHES INTO DEPOT,

DEWITT, Ind, May 1.-THE pres
ence of mind of Engineer Summerville,
who sent the the fast flying Chicago
Indianapolis passenger train on the
Monon through the depot, which which
had been blown onto the trek by a
terrific storm early today, probably
saved many lives.
Summerville encountered the storm
a few miles from Dewitt. and while
trying to run away from 1t with his
train, came into Dewitt just in time
to see the frame depot torn from it's
foundation and laid squarely across
the track Realizing that the too sud
den application of the airbrakes might
buckle his train and perhaps derail
several of the cars, Summerville pulled
the Throttle wide open and amid a
shower of flying timbers crashed
through the frame structure without
damage of any serious consequence to
the train or it's large list OF passen-
gers.
The tornado did estimated damage
of a quarter of a million dollars in
this section of the country. Much val
liable live stick was killed.

City officials have no serious OBJ
lection to this proposed minimum rate
reduction, because there are very few
power consumers who use less than
the minimum amount of current

Richmond Car Riders Map
Long Run.

Should J. Pluvius decide to decamp
from eastern Indiana from Saturday
night until Sunday night, one hundred
Richmond motorcycle riders will be
able to pull off one of their biggest
club runs planned this season. The
run will be through Liberty, Brookville
and Cedar Grove, where noon lunch
will be served.
The squad will leave the Bowery at
Z to 1880 Sunday morning. Instead OF
frowning on sidecars, they will be
invited, and it is possible that $50
persons will leave on the one hundred
machines. En- route, informal hill
climbing contests will be held by those
who want to participate, and other
forms of JOY to motorcyclists are
planned.
There will be number of riders
from out-of-town clubs. They will ride
with the Richmond club to Cedar
Grove and return. The riders will
rest at Cedar Grove for the hard ride
back to Richmond.
Other short rides have been planned
but the Cedar Grove trip is one of the
longest and hardest of the season. The
hills are steep south of Liberty, and
it will be necessary for the riders to
have their machines in good condition
in order to stand the grind.

NORFOLK, Va, May 12.-Seven
men were killed in an explosion on
board the Old Dominion liner Jefferson
of Cape Henry last night. Another
man is missing. The Jefferson came
into Norfolk today with the bodies
of the dead. The explosion was due
to the bursting OF tubes in the main
