southeast of Wilma, however, have had
better success. They have broken

BATTERIES HURT BY
THE COLD WEATHER

When cold weather comes autOmo-
bile motors require more turning over
in the cranking operation. More turn
ing over, in these days Of electrical
starters, means using up the current
stored away in storage batteries. And
using up stored current means that
batteries become depleted. Therefore
a little knowledge OF storage batter
les and the cold weather conditions
which affect them is not amiss'
local battery expert says that cold
weather has the effect of making
storage battery rather sluggish. A hy-
drOmeter should be used frequently to
see that the battery is not being dis
charged at too low degree.
Storage batteries will gradually be-
come discharged when standing idle,
even when no current is being used,
due to the fact that a slow chemical
action is taking place at all times
within the battery regardless Of
whether the current is being used or
not. When car is not to be used for
as long as two OF three weeks, or
the car is to be stored. the battery
should receive a complete charge be-
fore allowing it to stand, and it should
receive additional charging at least
every two or three weeks, until the
cells begin to gas or bubble free This
charging is best done by allowing the
battery to remain in tine car without
disturbing any of the connections, by
allowing the engine to run at the
same speed as it attained when the car
is travelling at about 20 miles per
hour
I'm order to avoid freezing OF the
battery. it should always be Kept in n
fully charged condition. A fully
charged battery will not freeze at any
OF the temperatures ordinarily expert
enced. The electrolyte, or solution,
will freeze as follows:
Specific gravity / 100. battery three
charged. 20 degrees above zero.
Specific gravity 1,16O, battery three
fOurths discharged. zero.
Specific gravity 1910, battery half
discharged, 20 degrees below zero.
Specific gravity 1850. battery one
fourth discharged, 60 degrees below
zero"

that more than $4,000 miles OF. surfaced
