To avoid battery trouble during the
touring season there is but one certain
course, and that is to get the battery
habit. Get INTO the habit of testing
your battery the same as you do In test
ing the amount of oil in the crankcase.
Be as careful with the battery as you
are in seeing that the gasolene tank is
filled or that your tires are inflated to
the proper pressure. When YOU get the
habit the work Is a light task, but until
you accomplish this II will be more or
less of a white elephant on your hands.
Getting the battery habit Is the same
as getting the tire-infation habit.

II is as important for the pleasure you
get out of motoring to make certain
that your starting and lighting battery
is in good condition as to be sure your
tires have been looked over and that
they really are ready for the summer

Whether the battery requires over

some other defect. He may find the
plates badly sulphated. Worse, still, he
may find the active material falling
away. There are other troubles such as
the need OF new separators.
1t is questionable II in any other de-
partment of the car it Is more essential
to use the stitch-in-time doctrine than
with the battery. A little attention may
cost you not more than 81 or s3, but if
you let the trouble go too long your
repair bill may be .s25 OF S30 1t will
not take more than three or four DAYS
to insure yourself that your battery is
in proper condition and II is worth while
to get it in this condition before the
start of the season.
Having your battery in proper shape
at the opening of the season does not
mean that you must not give 1t some
attention during the remainder of the
year. You must give the battery at

MOTORISTS PLANNING

By HARRY WARD.

A committee to handle the orphans
automobile outing in June was named
today by Joseph VI. Stoddard. president

committee consists OF W. &. Long,
Hartman: J. s. Jenks, and II. u. Leary,

L. B .Schloss, manager of Glen Echo
Park. has again rendered the use OF
the grounds and amusements at that
resort free of charge, and it is tX-
pected the committee will select that
park for the outing. Each of the Vari-
Gus instittions where orphans are cared
for will be asked to aid the association
IN making this years celeoratlon lhe
greatest ever held here.
we want every little orphan in WASH
ington TO take part in the outing, sald
President Stoddard, and 1 have urged
The committee to take particular care
that none is neglected."
Motorists in the past have been gener-
ous in donating their cars to give the
little ones an outing, and ii is expected
many responses will be made TO the
appeal of the committee for cars this
year.
Orphans automobile day has become
one of the big events on the automo-
bile calendar throughout the country.
The idea was originated some years ago
by a New York newspaper man. 1t
was taken UP by the American Auto
mobile Association and the various
clubs throughout the country affiliated
with that organization, together with
MANY automobile trade associations,
and made il an annual event.

ORDFACTORY PAST
100000 CAR MARK

More than 5OO,ood Ford cars have been
tuilt and sold to date" said Charles Z.
Miller. of Miller Brothers. Ford agents
here. The five hundred thousand fig
ure was passed about the middle OF
april.
The company's big factory in De-
troit was speeded up and completed au-
rnmobiles were being turned out at the
rate of more than 100 a day as the
half-million milestone was left behind.
This was but a continuation of the pace
set in March. when. for twenty-siN con-
secutive working days the daily pro-
duction exceeded ! 100 cars.
Since i"cS the growth OF the COM
pany, as indicated by the yearly car
sales, has been phenomenal. That year
the sales totaled more than 5000, the
next year they jumped to more than
II 90, the ncxt year they were more
than H. 900, in 1911 they exceeded 5000.
in 1912 they were more than 1900, and
in 1913 they were in excess Of 10000.
And this years sales are keeping up
the pace: The Fords built before 1sS.
those built and sold so far this year,
and the total of the sales for the six
years given above, combine to make a
grand total of more than half million.
These half million cars have been
sold in every country on the globe
where q motor car could possibly run.
They may be found in the interior Of
darkest Africa. in the valleys of the
Andes of South America, in Ceylon, on
the Isle of Jolo in the Philippines, and
IN the out-of-the-way places Of the
world.
And in almost every land there are
practically twice as many Fords as cars
Of any other single make.
1T is quite generally agreed that the
slogan. Every third car a Ford is
practically true in all countries
