GETTING Results PROM

ANYBODY who has driven motor car
knows that it is harder to start the

other times. The motor, ON account OF
the cold. Is naturally stifler and must
be turned over more rapidly IN order to
start. On this account the Willard
Storage Battery Company advise that
the best OF care to given storage bat
terry in order TO have it do its work
properly.
The first thing they recommend is
that the battery be kept filled with dis
titled water and that a hydrOmeter-test
be made at least once a month TO make
sure that the battery is sufficiently
charged. \ fully charged battery Will
not freeze at any temperature IN which
motor cars are driven. In fact 1t re
quires 9S degrees below zero to freeze
the solution in a battery whose specific
gravity is kept up to the proper point

When battery does freeze, due tc

round bout between Ted Lewis, the
sensational English welterweight, and
Willie Ritchie. the former lightweight
champion. According to many experts,
Lewis is the greatest fighter of his
weight that England has produced
in many years. Jimmy Johnson, his
manager. says Ted is in class by
himself as fighter and that Willie
Ritchie will experience the sensation
Of being knocked out. On the other
