SYMPTOMS or
BATTERY TROUBLES

When you go out to your garage N
the morning and find that for some rea.
son or other your starter won't work.
1t gives you a lot OF satisfaction ito
know exactly what the trouble is, al.
though you may not be able yourself g
remedy II.
If the trouble is in the battery Ger.
tain definite symptoms will denote it.
If you find that your battery has no;
energy enough to turn over the start.
ing motor, the first thing you do not
urally is to test II with your hydromet
er. Nine times out Of ten you will find
that the trouble is-starving. The hy.
drometer will infallibly uncover this
condition for instead OF registering 1880
to 1900, as II would II the battery were
fully charged, 1t will register below
1900.
You've discovered that your battery
is starved. But going back stap
farther, what causes II TO be starved!
How did II come about that the battery
which is to supply you with energy
and TO spare for starting and lighting
gets into a condition that II has not
power enough for either one Of these
things?"
II you are running your car in The
city, short distances, stopping frequent.
ly, you are using n large amount cf
current for cranking the engine without
giving the generator a chance to re-
store TO the battery power enough 20
offset this drain.
While II is impossible TO state just
how much the car should be run 10
keep the battery in fully charged con-
dition, this much can be said: Every
time YOU crank your engine the battery
for a few moments is putting forth
two horsepower Of energy. Very 90.
viously II II Is called upon 10 do this
long at a time or at too frequent interv.
ais. II is not going TO be long before
the battery Is exhausted II, however,
the machine is run a considerable dis.
tance at a fair rate Of speed. say from
fifteen 10 twenty miles per hour the
generator gets a chance 20 restore en-
ergy 20 the battery and the dangers
OF starving are reduced just In that
proportion.
Starving Of the battery may point to
a short circuit especially II in checking
up you find that you are running the
machine sufficiently to allow a good
proportion OF energy TO be returned 20
the battery.
Short circuits are usually found In
the wiring system outside OF the bat
terry and II a casual test does not re.
veal the trouble II is always best TO
have the system carefully gone over
by an expert.
4 short circuit will drain a battery
OF all It's power in a few hours.
Some days perhaps, in testing your
battery, YOU find one cell or two cells
show the normal reading, but the third
shows very low reading. This can only
be interpreted In one way, the entire
battery Is In poor condition The fact
that two cells show higher reading
than the third Is merely accidental
The fact at the bottom OF the whole
thing Is this The measure OF energy
I'm the discharged cell Is very probably
the measure OF energy OF the whole bat
terry. In such case the whole battery
should be recharged at once ai
the battery service station.

Women Show Effects Of
Fright; Vessel Not Seri-

Liverpool, April 1O.-The American

1t was found that the damage, when
was confined to the fore part OF the
vessel, was not serious, and the New
York was able to make her dock under
her own steam. She had shipped some
water. but her appearance as she came
into the river suggested nothing more
than that she was heavily laden.
When the New York was warped into
her dock and moored a large gang OF
workers Immediately began to discharge
the cargo so as to enable the steamer

The Now York struck submerged
mine. and the explosion shook the Ves-
sci from stem to stern. Orders were
at once given to each person to don

didly. but the vessel began to take
in water rapidly. The bulkheads were
promptly closed. but in a very snort
time there were many feet OF water
in the forehold.
During the launching Of the small
boats some Of the crew received minor
iniuries. and when the boats had been
launched there was extreme danger
from the possibility of coming in con-
tact with the revolving screws OF the
New York, which, owing to the TACT
that the vessel was down by the head
were partially out of water. By ener-
getic work OF the men at the oars THIS
danger was averted.

American participation in the war,
heartily indorses the apparent inten-
