Battery Must Be
Cared for During
Months of Winter

MANY an experienced motorist who
would never leave his garage on winter
night with a badly worn tire" said
Elmer Rosengren. manager of the local
willard Storage Battery branch, thinks
nothing of starting out with half
charged battery that may mean a stalled
car.
"Of course this is due in a great meas
ure to the fact that the condition of
his battery is not constantly staring him
in the face, like tire or an oil gauge
But car owners are beginning to realize
the necessity of keeping their battery in
Al condition, IL they are to have bright
lights and a snappy. starter.
Even IL you are going to store your
car" added Mr.. Rosengren, 1.-THE battery
should be removed and filled at regular
intervals with distilled water and tested
regularly for specific gravity of between
LIS and 1900. Many motorists, how
ever, leave their batteries at our service
station. where they are kept charged
throughout the winter at nominal cost.
Car owners, however. are beginning Il
realize the Importance of keeping their
batteries UP to the mark, to prevent
freezing and give satisfactory ell-around
winter service"

Franklin Car Makes
Thousand Miles on
One Gallon of Oil

One thousand forty-six miles on gal
Ion OF oil was nlpde by a Franklin car In
an official road test from New York TO
Chicago, on which n report has just been
made public by the technical committee
Of the Automobile club of America.
The route took the car up the Hudson
to Albany, thence to Utica, Syracuse.
Buffalo. Erie. Cleveland, Toledo. KEN
dallville and Chicago. The distance was
divided into six sections, over which the
car was piloted by different drivers. the
reliefs being planned so that no stops
would be necessary except for gasoline
and provisions.
After leaving Buffalo the car struck
poor roads at every turn. A good deal of
heavy mud was met with in the north
west corner of Pennsylvania; beyond
Cleveland. heavy rains were encountered;
at Bryan. Ind, the rain turned into
snow, and later high wind developed.
The trip into Chicago was finished in
one of the worst storms experienced in
that section for several years.
The total net running time was sixty
hours and eighteen minutes. and the
elapsed time sixty-seven hours and thir-
ty-seven minutes. The running average
was 1873 miles per hour. The mileage was
checked on the odometer and on accepted
road maps.
The run was officially supervised by
the Automobile Club of America through
Ferdinand Jehle and Herbert NJ. Smith,
who alternated as observers on twelve
hour turns. Their certificate state that
the car used in the test was strictly
stock enclosed sedan model. with all ad-
justments In accordance with standard

sands upon thousands OF automobiles are
sold yearly. Yet most OF these are
shipped from Michigan, Indiana or from

The Drummond Motor company, which
had been selling one of the leading makes
Of cars, began September to put out a

OF increasing the capital TO $4,000,
$4,000 being common stock and 100000

Europe, Asia and Africa during the
past six months. 1t would not be
amiss for them now To add the study
Of America to their course in political

be good year for American travel in
Europe. Only those should think Of
crossing the Atlantic who have clear
and definite reasons of Il responsible
kind for approaching the fringes of
the great war. Travel. however, is
not only one of the greatest sources
of pleasure, but one Of the chief means
of education; and il should always be
encouraged. AS many Americans as
possible should resolve that they will
know great deal more about their
own country at the end Of the year

G. R. LYON PASSES AWAY
Succumbs to Injuries Received From
Fall Last Week Oldest Attor-
ney in Shiawassee Courty.

AS result of fall down the cellar
stairs at his residence, on Friday even
ing last, Gilbert r. Lyon died at 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The fall
fractured his skull and rendered Mr..
Lyon unconscious, in which condition
he remained until he passed away.
Just how the accident occurred is not
known but it is supposed he lost his bal
ance when near the top step and fell
backward to the cellar bottom. Mr.
Lyon had been in rather feeble condi.
tiun ever since he was knocked down
on the streets by runaway horse more
than a year ago, yet he had been able to
be about and to attend to his business
and only day or two before the acci-
dent remarked that he was feeling
better than he had for long time,
Mr.. Lyon was born at Dearborn,
Michigan, August 81, 1885, the son of
Mr.sand Mrs Daniel Lyon and with his
parents later on removed to Ann Arbor
and then to Owosso. He attended

to the disadvantage of the teams. All

for their money and as result the
local high school athletic association
netted neat sum. The visitors
brought with them nearl V one hundred
thcsaning citizens and the rivalry in
cheering for the teams was as eXcit-
ing as the games. The OwOsso girls
defeated the Chesaning girls in the
first game by score of Is to II. The
Owosso boys won their game easier,
the score being 26 to l3. Each school
now has n game each to its credit
