A storage battery is a chemical ap-
paratus consisting of positive and
negative lead plates immersed in cleo
trolyte, a solution of sulphuric acid.
When the starting motor is used for
the lights or ignition system put on
the circuit, a certain electro-chemical
action takes place between the posi-
tive and negative plates in the pres
ence Of the electrolyte and electricity
flows through the wires. AS this
chemical action continues the charact-
err Of the plates change and the cur
rent will, ultimately, cease to flow
and the battery will be dead. This
condition, however, is forestalled by
the generator, causing the current to
flow in the opposite direction, or to
charge the battery. Charging the bat
terry does not mean that electricity is
being stored up by the battery, but
that by means Of electricity the plates
are being restored to the condition
in which they are before the discharge
began. Because it is a chemical ap-
p~aratus then, and not mechanical like
a machine of iron and steel, the stor-
age battery cannot be subjected to
wear and tear of service without
gradually deteriorating. Even when
the battery is at rest, some action
is going on, and discharge is slowly
taking place. In time the plates lose
their capacity for reacting to the
electrical charging. The insulation is
all the time gradually wearing out
and finally that gives way. Even with
the best of care and with the best
possible material, this is going to
happen with any storage battery. But
the battery does not always receive
the best attention. It is the one ac-
cessory on the car which the aver
age car owner seems to neglect. The
car owner, however, should get his
full moneys worth from a good bat
terry if he gives it care, although, as
we have pointed out, he should ex-
pect to buy a new battery some day.
This is just as reasonable an expense
as buying a new tire. From the fore
going it is perfectly obvious that bat
teries must be made of the best quail
ity possible to begin with and then,
if they are to be kept in efficient con-
dition, they must have good treat
ment at the hands Of the owners. It
is impossible to prescribe any definite
term of life for a storage battery for
it's period of efficiency may vary
greatly according to the two factors
just mentioned, as we'll as in accord
ance with the quality and condition
of the starting motor and generator"

public before or ever suspected of
having any histrionic ability.

INCREASE IN VEGETABLE
 FREIGHT RATES ASKED.
(By Review Leased Wire).

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July A. Hearing of an application of the rail roads for an increase of four cents per hundred pounds on vegetables from points in Idaho, Utah and Colo rado to points in Oklahoma. Arkansas and Texas, was begun today before J, H. Hagerty, special examiner of the interstate commerce commission. It is estimated that the granting of the increase would add s25,OOO annually to Oklahoma's potato bill alone. Other states are similarly affected.
 GEE. Marsh. for the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railroad said the revenue for hauling vegetables was in- sufficient to pay expenses and that claims were very heavy.
