Admiral n. T. Mayo's own story OF
the "Tampico affair" in which he hs-
ured as commander Of the American
naval forces, has been made public by
Democratic campaign leaders in the
hone that IL would serve as an answer
to the critics Of the Administration,
who have charged that American lives
were saved only by British warsnips.
But as an answer to such charges the
statement must have proved disap-
pointment to the Presidents aids II
contains the admission that British
ships did take the Americans from the
city. as the appearance of an American
battleship close TO the shore ight have
stirred up such feeling as to have re-
suited in a general massacre % the for
eign population. This, in substance, IS
lust what Mr.. Hughes set forth IN his
several speeches on the subject. The
admiral dismisses the failure Of Huerta
10 give the demanded salute TO the flag
by saying that the situation passed out
Of his hands and into those Of the State
Department, which IS responsible for
the ultimate failure Of the Mexieans to
FIRE the demanded salute.

Some Storage Battery Advice.

Ritter G. Sizes. local agents for tht
Willard Storage Battery Company
suggests the following pointers or
care of the electrical system on q
motor car.
Every time you operate your self
starter or use your electric lights
while the engine is not running, a
certain amount Of energy is taken
from your storage battery, This en-
ergy must be restored in some way
or other. For this purpose, mod
ern car carries an electric generator
which puts back into the battery the
current which has been taken out to
operate the lights and starter.
This generator must run at
charging speed for several minutes
in order to create the same amount
Of electrical energy that is consumed
by the electric starter in few sec
onds. Therefore, considerable care
should be exercised in starting your
car, in order not to let the motor
turn over and over for a long time
before II starts.
"Ordinarily a motor should start
on very few turns in warm weather
and unless It does, something is
probably wrong with the gas or the
ignition. BE careful to see that you
have gasoline in the tank and al
ways set the gas and spark properly
before trying to start. Release the
starter button as soon as the motor
begins to turn iss own power because
as long as the starter button is press
ed down. the starting motor is TAX
ing current from the battery.
"The generator should always be
kept properly adjusted and clean and
this should be done by an expert.
otherwise. the amount of current de-
livered from the generator may be
too small to keep the battery charged
to the proper point If battery is
constantly used in an undercharged
condition the process of deterioration
becomes more and more rapid and
may result in the battery being
ruined.
with the free inspection service
offered by the Willard service sta
tons and their willingness to make
suggestions for the proper care and
use of electrical equipments on a
car. there is very little excuse for
battery ignorance. The man who
makes a habit Of visiting Willard
