BAT TTERY JUST
 LIKE HUMANS
By Fred Thomas of the Motor Supply
 Company

Every automobile owner recognizes the fact that unless he oils his motor regularly and keeps his radiator filled for cooling, his engine is going to burn up and refuse to do it's work.
 Also, he realizes that unless the gears and bearings are fabricated pc riodically they will surely be put out of commission in short order There fore he supplies oil and grease to the mechanism and water to the radiator in a regular way, as a matter of course.
 It is a peculiar fact, however, that many of these same motorists abso- lutely ignore the storage battery un- til it dies an unnatural death. They seem to look upon it as an mex hausctive magic box" which in some way is supposed to take care of it. self.
 As matter of fact it requires as careful and regular attention as the rest of the car and if accorded this attention. mos. battery ills would be prevented
 Storage batteries are like human beings in that they must have food"

Generators arc designed to meet aV craze driving conditions. Often in city driving where the starter is used frequently and short trips made. the generator does not recharge the battery in proportion to the current discharge demanded.
