machines are completely equipped
with all of the latest safety devices. In
addition as matter of saving power
and as a further prccaution, there
are no shafts or pulleys as each ma
chine has its own motor. The speed
lathes are of the motor head type

| device that changes the speed of the
motor.
Regarding the forge shop equip

BEASON GETS
AN APPOINTMENT
His Garage Will BE The Headquarters
For Prest-O-Light Service sta
tiOn i'm This City

Announcement is made by A. E.
Beason of his appointment as a
special Service Station for the Prest-
O-L!te storage battery in Audubon.
Facilities have been provided for
giving expert battery service on the
Prest-O-Lite battery and for hand
| ling charging and repair work on all
makes of batteries.
Much importance is attached TO the
free battery service which Mr.. Beason
offers TO all automobile owners. In
speaking of the liberal service policy
that this company had adopted. Mr..
| Beason says
! If every automobile owner would
realize that he would get 100 percent
better service out of his storage bat
terry by having it inspected occasional
ly by an expert man, there would be
! fewer complaints about batteries
going wrong
"A storage battery needs certain
little attentions at regular intervals
not merely once a month but every
two weeks. 1t may need distilled
water added to one or two of the cells.
A storage battery can't work without
distilled water. Or it may need some
thing else of simple but neverless
very important nature.
I'VE offer automobile owners ex-
pert inspection and service once every
two weeks. or oftener if desired. be-
cause we feel that by carefully watch
ing the condition of battery at regu-
lar intervals We will be able to detect
the presence of condition which
iuh q
before the real troubles have a chance
to start.
The action of a storage battery
is pretty much of mystery to the
average car owner. The serious things
that may happen to a battery are
not apparent to the eye. They are.
not usually detected until the damage
has been done and the battery goes
on strike. The effect of this is to
leave the car owner in a state of I'M
certainty. He thinks he is giving it
good care but sometimes the battery
suddenly and quite Unexpectedly re-
fuses to work
AT our Service Station we gladly
inspect storage batteries on automo-
biles free of charge of any make.
Our experts are able to recognize the
warnings that an abused battery gives
long before anything serious happens.
We feel that the car owner who avails
himself of this free service of ours
will save himself many repair bills
which could easily have been avoided
I've have investigated the storage
battery proposition pretty thoroughly
and we found in the Prest-O-Lite
battery battery of remarkable power
and capacity, Its ability to maintain
its voltage when giving off a large
volume of current. insuring more eff
ficient operation of the electric start
err. is greater than any other battery.
The minimum amount of heat de-
veloped by the Prest-O-Lite battery
insures longer life.
Most motorists are familiar with
Prest-O-Lite service as supplied to
gas tanks. Thousands of users of
electric starters and lighting systems
have long been waiting for the same
satisfying solution to their storage
battery troubles.
when we consider the extent to
which The Prest-O-Lite Company is
developing the service of it's business,
we decided that it was the right bat
terry for us to handle

regular shades so that the projection
apparatus may be used at any time
An attachment makes possible the
doing of microscopic projection work
in connection with biology and ply
siOlOgy. All of the laboratory ap
paratus might also be mentioned. A
large supply of new scientific appar.
atus was purchased with the though,
in mind of making it possible for
the students to do great deal OF
work in the laboratory. In the phys.
les laboratory for instance, it will cas-.
lily be possible for each student to
perform at least sixty experiments
science work can also be made a
labrOtOry course to a considera BILE
extent. Individual equipment was
also purchased for agriculture, BIZ
ology and physiology. In addition
there is an ample supply of demon
stration apparatus for the lecture
room. There are for instance. a fine
air pump. a power rOtatOr. and many
instruments for demonstrating the
work in heat, light. and electricity
In the commercial department. ia
bles instead of desks are used. The
tables are 42x36. and have the small
raised shelves at the front common
to commercial desks. There are two
drawers in each table for the stor-
age of bookkeeping sets for the time
being. the typewriting room will have
five typewriters. The regular type
writing tables and chairs are used
in this room.
The mechanical drawing room
equipment consists first of all of a
large wall case which holds set of
drawings and drawing boards. Each
student is assigned his drawer and
board. and during the work period,
he takes them to his drawing table.
The other part of this equipment in
cludes the drawing tables of special
height and adjustable tops, and also
the set of high stools. In addition.
there is an instructors table for the
room where blue print paper and
drawings may be kept.
The wood working room Is large
one. and the equipment consists of
twenty of the Perfection Benches
manufactured by the e. H. Sheldon
Co. of Muskegon. Michigan, and in
addition, there is a good deal of
machinery. Each bench is equipped
with q complete set ofiRdividual tools
and in addition, q wall rack holds q
good many tools used by the room as
