Wins
CHICAGO CLASSIC
IN NEW ROAMER

In one OF the most exciting contests
ever staged on the big Chicago
speedway, Pete Henderson last Satur-
day won the fifty miles classic open
event from q fast field. in the Roamer.
The Roamer was a dark horse from
the start and all OF Chicago is bug
zing with gossip about the car
work.
Tom Alley, as in the two previous
events, took the lead at the start Of
the fifty mile special, but at sixteen
miles, Henderson took 1t away from
him and the field was completely
changed, Alley going into third place.
with Milton second and Mulford
fourth. So grueling was the pace
that the field had narrowed at the
twentieth mile to just these four, all
other starters being eliminated be-
cauee of mechanical troubles develop
ed by the terrific pace this quartette
hadi set.
Henderson Keeps Lead.
At the twenty-hfth mile Henderson
was leading In the Roamer, Mulford
in the Frontenac was second, Milton
in the Dusenberg was third, and AL
ley in the Pan-American was fourth.
At thirty miles, Henderson had in
creased his speed to 1O6 miles per
hour.
The quartette went into the eight
eenth lap closely punched and difh-
cuities rose at the first turn. Milton
Rrazed the tail of Mulford's From
tenac, his car swerved and Alley
crashed into Millions Dusenberg, but
no serious damage was done the
drivers. The cars, however, suffered;
And the race became bitter duei
between Henderson and Milford, and
these two drivers drove at a pace
never before seen in Chicago.
Henderson's Roamer nosed out the
Frontenac in the astounding time OF
o. 7.a2.21. at an average speed Of
Io9:62 miles per hour, q new track

MOTORISTS MAKE
MISTAKES TESTING
STORAGE BATTERY

Due to the efforts OF storage bat
terry manufacturers toward educating
the motoring public in the necessary
care OF their batteries, most battery
owners are now familiar with the use
OF the hydrometer for testing the bat
terry. solution.
Motorists sometimes deceive them
selves, however, by using the hydro
meter under improper conditions.
Hydrometers are recommended to
battery users for testing the battery's
condition. because they are the SIM
plest and most understandable device
available for the average motorists
use. At best they can serve only to
indicate approximately the state OF
charge or discharge of the battery,
and unless used properly, they tell
nothing of value.
Make ErrOrs.
The most common error among mo-
torists testing their own batteries is
taking hydrometer readings imme-
diately after distilled water has been
added. The solution has been brought
to the proper level and presumably is
In ideal proportions for a test.
As a matter OF fact n hydrometeT
reading under these conditions is very
misleading. The water added has not
had a chance to mix with the rest OF
the solution. and the fluid drawn into
the hydrometer rs very weak mix
ture which shows a low gravity test.
From such a test an inexperienced
motorist is apt to conclude that his
battery is decidedly run down and
needs recharging. whereas, the bat
terry may be in a fully charged condi-
tion, when a strong recharge would
do more harm than good.
Up TO Proper Level
To get the most out of hydrometer
tests, motorists should bring the bat
terry solution up to the proper level,
by the addition OF distilled water, and
then defer taking a reading OF the So
luton until the automobile has been
run few hours and the water,
through the generator charging pro-
cess, has had an opportunity to
thoroughly mix with the rest OF the
solution.
II the hydrometer Is regularly used
In this way and the motorist will oc-
casionalIy avail himself of such test
ing service as may be had at a battery
service station, minor Irregularities
in the battery can be rectlfied before
they become serious.
