a temperature OF about leo degrees
below zero to freeze a fully charged

battery that is almost exhausted will
freeze at 90 degrees above zero"
He also argues that the man who
owns good automobile ought to
be as careful With his battery as with

dollars in repairs few weeks later.

COMPULSORY PERIOD
BEGINS IN JANUARY
CHILnREN MUST ATTEND
SCHOOL SIXTY DAYS DUR
ING SCHOOL YEAR.
Two Schools in the County Began
Their Compulsory Period ON De-
celnber list, According to
Superintendent.

The state compulsory school at
tendance period, under the new law,
has already been put into effect in
at least two school districts of Ellis
county, but a majority of the schools
star their compulsory period on
January list. Italy and Boyce schools
began their compulsory periods on
December LIST because it was thought
that the months of January and De-
cember would be preferable to those
concerned.
The sch sol board in Wax ahachie
viii begin heir period OF eompul-
sorry atten lance on January LIST also.
There are several children within the
scholastic age who are not regularly
in school aud it is expected that a
truant officer win be kept reason
ably busy en- such cases in the city
when the period rolls around.
For the county schools j. E.
Mothershead is playing the part Of
compulsory attendance officer. Thus
far he has had no complaints of nom
attendance of scholastics. 1t is the
purpose of Mr.. Mothershead and
County superintendent W s. Ely 10
encourage the children to go to
school during this period rather than
punish them for failure to do so. They
hope to get the people to thorough
ly understand this law and make
preparations to keep their children
in school as long as possible. The
law makes it compulsory for each
and every scholastic within the ace
limit to attend school for sixty days
during the pr sem school YEAR, Next
