RESERVE CORPS
OF MOTOR CARS
Every City in United States
Should Be Organized.
Big Preparedness Plan Is
Urged by Jay V. Hall.

The establishment of automobile re-

States, as factors in the present pre-

Lansing, Mich.

sand miles of shore line to protect"
says Hall, with the possibility of
troops being landed at any point
THE only possible way of success
fully combating such an attempt
would be our ability to throw large
masses of soldiery against any given
point at short notice.

ant of the Pacific coast artillery, and
Capt H. d. Ryus. president of the
OldSmobile company of California, CO.

Francisco automobile reserve corps

neuvers which give every hope for the
future.

We have list of 81 engineers-men
in the first rank of the engineering

selected the Mitchell for use as their

We also have record of six Mitchell

Women Drivers Demand Efficiency.

With the increasing number of wo-
men who drive cars, comes the neces-
sity for absolutely dependable electri-
cal equipment. Starter and lights
must not fail if nilady is to be saved
the embarrassment and inconvenience
of cranking or asking masculine as
sistance.
In this connection the storage bat
terry plays a leading role, and the Will
lard Storage Battery company en-
phasizes the importance of good bat
terry service. Their plan includes a free
inspection each month, when the bat
terry is examined and filled with water,
if necessary. 1t also affords ample
instructions for personal battery care,
so that a woman can make sure that
she will experience no difficulties that
can be traced to the battery.
Car manufacturers and dealers rec
ognize the value of this service and
much praise is heard for the kind OF
cooperation that backs up the sale
with help that is worth something.
