KEEP BATTERY TERMINALS
ALWAYS CLEAN AND TIGHT

In order to get the very best results
from the electrical system on a motor
car. it is necessary to get the full
amount of current delivered from the
storage battery to the electrical sys-
tenn In covering the subject the
Willard Storage Battery company, of
Cleveland. emphasizes the care that
should be exercised in keeping ter
rainals and all wire connections clean
and tight. A loose connection or a
terminal which may have some acid
on it after the battery has been filled.
will become corrOded and create A
greater resistance for the electrical
current to pass through
This, naturally Weakens the strength
of the current and at the same time
wears out the connections by eating
through them. After filling a battery
with water. it is well to wipe off the
top carefully with a piece of waste or
an old cloth dampened with ammonia
or washing soda solution. and to see
that all wires are fastened tightly be-
fore the car is put into operation again
Points like these may seem simple
to the average car owner. but by care
fully following the instructions Of bat
terry experts. better starting and light
ing service are sure to result.

Precisely at $40 Saturday morning,

Thlrty-eight Saxon six" standard

beaten last week by a Marmon.

mayor Rolfe's office in Frisco lust
six days. IS hours and 10 minutes Later.
The official mileage of the Lincoln
highway is 1881 miles. but the distance
Saxon traversed on the relay race was
considerably in excess Of this, mas
much as the highway is torn up in A
number of places and so long detours
ere necessary. In every case these
detours were over very bad roads In
the absence of accurate figures. II is
safe to assume that at least 900 addi-

SAFETY FIRST" BUILT
RIGHT INTO CARS NOW

Motor car manufacturers are build
ing safety first right into their cars
these days. and science is working hand
in hand with them in their efforts"
said NJ A Leach. of the bort factory.
The tests that are applied TO every
part Of the car are wonderful and par
ticularly the machines that make them;
and yet the principles used are simple
at bottom For instance. If you want
TO break piece Of iron wire you bend
it back and forth rapidly dozen or
more times until it parts. Automobile
engineers have devised machines to do
this with their axles. springs, crank
shafts. valves, and the very frame of
the car itself These machines. giant in
size, are veritable marvels of human
ingenuity In their huge Jaws they
Will seize a crankshaft and twist and
twist until il falls apart Gauges and
dials on ma chine record this twisting
and the strength and toughness of the
part tested Other machines are de-
vised to grasp an axle shaft and bend
1t double and straighten it out again
still others will grip valve stem and
stretch il out like a rubber band to
twice its original length In fact sci
ence has provided means for testing
every single part that goes into the
car"

Gasoline Prices To
Hit Down Grade and
Reach Is Gents Soon

The crude oil quotations from the cas-;
show downward trend and manager I. E.
Lockhart OF the Rio Grande OF comna n =.
says that the backbone OF high gasoline has
been broken and that the motorists can
look for gradual decrease Of price.
FL Paso has enjoyed a lower price for
gasoline than many other cities" said Mr..
Lockhart- and il may be a couple Of weeks
before the price OF y cents per gallon $
reduced but I predict price Of about IS
cents per gallon inside Of the next six OF
eight weeks.
The reason for the cut is the fact that
more promising conditions in Mexico have
resulted in an increased export Of crude oil
from that country. while other fields are
also becoming available. The increased
supply has naturally had the effect Of
reducing the price Of crude oil and gasoline
frons accordingly.

1t is of great Importance that the

compression occasionally by turning

until YOU feel resistance in each OF the

find that the compression is less in one
cylinder than the others. or II you
find that all are weak. the valves may
not be seating properly The trouble
NAV be because of too little clearance
between the valve stems and the valve
tappets, or because there is a small
deposit Of carbon on the seat OF the
valves. Either Of these faults should
