Elmer Rosengren breaches
On Good Battery Service

1T is most important in the care
of the battery says Elmer Rosen-
gren of the Nebraska Storage Battery
company, that the car owner should
know exactly in what condition the
battery is, whether it is half charged,
fully charged, or overcharged. FIRE.
quent and accurate hydrometer tests
are the only way in which this can
be ascertained. The more ordinary
battery troubles--can be avoided and
the life of the battery heightened by
keeping it fully charged.
For this reason then, if for no
other, the car owner should frequently
visit the battery service station in
order that the experts can test his
battery. AS he comes to know them
each separate battery becomes an in
dividual problem to the service man.
He learns under what conditions they
are being used and are going to be
used.
Having tested a battery for a
whole season or for whole year. he
is in a position at the end of that time
to state whether repairs or renewals
are necessary to prolong the life of
the battery. If the machine is to be
run through the winter, then he can
give the motorist such advice as to
keep it in the best condition during
this trying season. If the battery
needs charging, he is able to do this
job all the better because he knows
exactly how the battery has been
used.
Not the least important function
of the service station, and especially
the Willard service station, is to edu-
cate the car owner in the care of the
battery. The advantages of this are
obvious"
As the local Willard service man
apt,' put it, people don't wait until
thcy.c dead before they go to doc
tor, and there is no reason why they
should wait until their battery is dead
before they take it to a battery doc
tor"

FREIGHT CAR LACK
HURTS AUTO CITY
Traffic Manager of Packard
4 Company Rents Horse Cars
from Owners.
BUILDS SPECIAL TRUCK

The freight car shortage, winch has
reached an acute state in all parts OF
the country, is particularly harassing
to tine automobile manufacturers OF
Detroit The situation has so per
sistently delayed deliveries that trat-
fc managers are resorting to all sorts
OF schemes to get their shipments
under way.
Charles J. Shaar, traffic manager OF
the Packard Motor Car company, has
made special arrangements with Gus
toms officials of Canada to permit
him to make shipments of Packard
cars from Windsor, Ont, directly
across the Detroit river from the
Motor City.
Gets Horse Cars.
He also has rented twenty-six
freight cars that are used in summer
Tor carrying horses. These cars, be-
ing privately owned, can be used only
Tor Packard shipments and ? re-
turned to the factory as soon as I'M
loaded at destinations.
= Shaar's department also has htted
a three-ton Packard truck with a
platform from which it is possible to
load Twin Skies on team tracks or
sidings in all parts OF the city. This
arrangement has resulted in the ship
ment of several hundred cars that
could not have been shipped other
wise. 1t is often the case that motor
cars are. conveyed ten or twelve
miles from the factory to the loading
point. The traffic department has
scouts continually on the lookout for
automobile cars, and whenever they
find an empty one, two Twin Skies
ready for 81 'oment are Immediately
started on their way.
The truck is fitted with an inclined
runway so that the car can run under
its own power up and on the plat
form. Then the truck backs up to
the door of the freight car and the
Twin Six moves into the Side door

Regal Car Boosts Price
To Maintain Its Quality

One after another motor car manu-
facturers have been forced to raise
prices.
Now the Regal fails in line with
$745 instead of $685., price.
Our price advance was caused by
the very same reasons that you have
heard again and again lately" said
Mr.. Fred w. Haines, president of the
Regal Motor Car company of Detroit
We held out as long as we could.
All the while, however, our costs were
advancing tremendously. There came
time when we, along with a number
of other motor manufacturers, had to
submit to the inevitable. We raised
our price, and in doing so we felt that
we were protecting Regal buyers as
well as ourselves"
Mr.. Haines said that inasmuch as
there seemed to be general move
ment among car makers in the Regal
class to raise their prices also, the
Regal will still hold relatively the
same position in the price field that
it did previous to the advance.

Asbestos Deposits in
Arizona Good for fires

Large deposits OF long-6bered as
bestos have lately been discovered in
Arizona, in the Sierra Anchas. Here
tofore IS per cent OF the asbestos used
in the United States has come from
Canada, and therefore the newly dis
covered deposits of Arizona are of
great interest to American manufacl
turers of asbestos products. particu-
larly those making asbestos sheet
packing. The high grade fiber which
is said to exist there may permit them,
in large measure, to supply the de-
mand for high grade American
sheet.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company, Akron, O., is an extensive
manufacturer of asbestos packing,
known as Goodyearite, which is said
to be equal to any OF the high grade
asbestos packings of Europe.

Another thing that makes foreign

duction schedules can run al the same
speed the year around. making for
