Warm Weather Battery Hints

With the pleasant days of sum-
mer, comes a tendency for every
motor car owner overlook the nee
essary care of certain parts of his
car which can't be seen.
One of these parts is the storage
battery, and because of the i'm
portant part it plays in starting,
lighting and ignition, too much en-
phasis cannot be laidt upon its care.
On this account the Willard Stor-
age Battery company is instructing
all of their $50 service stations to
advise car owners throughout the
country on the essential points Of
warm weather attention to batter
les. Probably the most important of
these is water. During the summer
a storage battery should receive
pure distilled water at intervals of
a week or ten days. This is neces-
sary because of the evaporation Of
the solution which gives the battery
it's life If this solution is allowed
to leave a portion of the battery
plates exposed to the air, these
plates will deterforate and the life
of the battery will be greatly
shortened.
Another point to consider is the
hydrometer test to determine spe-
cifie gravity of the solution. This
test should always average 1880
and in cases where the car owner
does not want to make the test him
self, he can have it made free of
charge at any Willard service sta
tion. II the battery is allowed to go
below the gravity mentioned, it will
gradually run down and refuse to
turn over a starting motor or oper-
ate the electric lights.
BY watching these two most i'm
portant things, any car owner may
expect the very best service from
his storage batteries.

DIR. wITMER KNOWS MORE
ABOUT AUTO TROUBLES NOW

DR.. winners automobile stopped
half way up the Tom Creek hill
north Of the city, one afternoon re-
Gently.
"The gasoline is all gone" was
Mrs. winners first suggestion az
ter the doctor had tinkered and
cranked for several minutes. More
tinkering and cranking failed to
get the familiar pop-popping. Again
the wife,, this time protesting, said
that the gasoline tank must be
empty. The doctor demonstrated ana
said the tank should be full. In
vestigation proved that the gas was
a minus quantity.
The doctor had new pair OF
shoes and SO the wife walked one
half mile to a nearby farm house
and got a gallon of gasoline. With
this in the tank, some more crank
ing was done but mournful, weak
sputter was the only answer. Then
another automobile CHANGED along
and it was decided that on the in
cline there was not enough gas in
the tank to raise it to the carbu-
rotor. DR.. Wilmer took syringe
from his medical sachel and sy-
phoned another gallon from the
strangers motor car int, lis auto
tank.
Then came real mechanic, who
after surveying the proposition took
out the gasoline tube, blew out
some dirt that had collected, put it
in place again and the doctor came
on to town.
