EVIDENTLY NOT AN ARTIST
Judging From Comment, RiIkins Had
Good Deal to Learn About
Photography.

Young Bilkins is an enthusiastic de-
voice of amateur photography He al
ways insists upon taking" his family
and friends posed in more or less ar
tistic attitudes.
Not long ago there was an exhibit
ton of the work of a local photograph
ic club TO which the young fellow be-
longs, and where were displayed the
results of certain of his efforts to i'm
mortalize his family and friends. In
one corner hung a group OF figures
twisted into the most extraordinary
positions, the general effect being that
OF persons in various stages of par
alysis.
Who in the. world are those queer
looking people?" asked someone.
"Oh. those are some of Bilkins'
strained relations" said a bystander.

falling off in this branch of university
work. and as summer school this last
summer totaled 1877 as again 1900
the year before, the 1920 mark, set
as a goal for attendance this year, has
already been passed without depend
ing upon registrations during the Sec
ond semester at ali.
The registrations in the different de-
partments TO date are: Literary col
lege, 2,S76, or 324 more than at a
corresponding date last year and %

owners realize that It's am easy mat
ter to Keep storage battery in good
condition with very little attention.
Many Of thcm know that inside the
battery there is set of plates which
are Immersed In battery solution
and probably they know that there is
sulphuriC acid IN that solution.
They dont realize, however that
the solution contains a good deal Of
water and that this cyaporates and
must be replaced at regular inter
walls once "a week IN summer or two
weeks In winter, the battery shonld
he filled up TO the right level 50 as
TO keep the plates continually I'M
mersed In the solution.
1T ts a great mistake, however, to
suppose that the owner should ever
add any acid to his battery. There is
enough sulphuuc acid there all the
time and the only reason the clec-
trolyte Varies in level Is because the
water. and not the acid cvaporates.
Iu fact, acid should never be added
To- a battery except by an expert who
has inspected II and found this 10 be
necessary
ANY car owner who visits VII
lard service station regularly and has
