A Tip for Owners of New Car.

A Tip for Owners of New Cars.
 The first thing that the owner of a new automobile should do is to go to the battery service station and let the battery expert test his battery, accord ing to Albert J. Simmons. the local Willard expert. He gives the follow ing reasons for this.
 "The battery really commences to wear the instant that it is assembled. As long as the plates are in contact with the electrolyte, the battery is slowly discharging itself.
 "If, therefore, an automobile is a long time in transit from the manu- facturer to the dealer and then is a long time in the hands of the dealer, it is entirely possible that the battery may have become considerably discharged. This slow discharge is perfectly natural. Before the car owner puts it to hard usage, he should have it fully charged. If this is once done, the generator should keep it in that condition.
 ''It is to prevent the motorist start ing out with a half charged battery when he expects fully charged one that we advise all new car owners to have their batteries tested i1nmedi- ately.
 ''This step is really more than just seeing that the motorist gets the full value for the money spent on his machine. It is reafly the first step in assuring him long and useful life of service from his battery, for if the battery starts it's life fully charged and then is closely watched by the owner during the first three months of its life, the odds are a thousand to one that it will give little trouble. If, on the other hand, it goes into commission half charged, this condition gets worse and worse until finally the battery is thoroughly starved and the owner thoroughly disgruntled. This starved condition is particularly bad. for no amount of charging at the service station will put the battery back in the excellent condition in which it was at the start. rt."-Advt.
