Attention to tho battery is Of prime
importance. BEFORE laying up the car
tho battery should be fully charged
This may be done by running the
motor long enough to generate M
Iroper amount OF juice or by taking
the battery to one of tho many charg-
ing stations to be found about the city.
OF course, if the charging Is done on
the car the process should be carried
out before draining out the water and
oil. If the battery is taken to n
charging station It would be a wise
thing to have it tested and ovcrhaulcd
to remedy any defects that might
exist Then store the battery away In
some place where the frost may not

1t is mistaKen idea that tho solu-

WAY TO FIX A

the car something that may be driven
In safety and comparative comfort

Aldrich also moved some minor
amendments changing the phraseol-

were adopted.
Representative Osborn, of Mount

ARGUMENT
FOR MELP0LDER As
CHARITY SECRETARY

Secretary Melpolder of the Social
Service Board was attacked from with
in the managing board last April.
Fred S. Bates, then president of the
board, became convinced he was un-
qualified to administer social work.
Mr.. Bates interviewed board mem
bers and they agreed with him that
Melpolder should go. All but two de-
clared against Melpolder. When time
for action came only two members
voted against Melpolder.
Fred White Backs MeIpoIder
Among those who agreed with Mr..
Bates was Fred White.
When the resolution, calling for
Melpolder's resignation at the end of
the year, was presented by Mr. Bates,
White made speech supporting Mel
polder.
One of his chief points was pre-
sented substantially in this form:
II think if Mr. Bates were to drop
around the Office several nights and
smoke a cigar with Mr.. Melpolder, he
would find he isn't such a bad fellow
after all

TAXI RIPS RAILING
OFF DORAN BRIDGE
BUT DOES NOT FALL

What probably would have been the
most terrible automobile tragedy ever
enacted in the city was miraculously
averted about 1890 O'Clock this
morning when a west bound taxicab
driven by an unknown man sideswiped
another taxi, going the same direction,
when they were in the center of the
Doran bridge. The taxi which was
struck was driven by E. Berry, chauf-
feur for the Glen Miller Transfer CON-
pany, occupied by three passengers,
two women and young girl, names
not known.
When Berry's car was struck it ran
upon the bridge sidewalk and before
it came to a stop it had torn down
twenty feet of the bridge railing. The
fact that one rear wheel became lock-
ed in the curb prevented the machine
plunging into the riger gorge.
Berry informed the police that the
driver of the other taxi in attempting
to pass him struck one of his front
wheels. Berry's passengers were al
most prostrated with fright. The taxi
was only slightly damaged. The open
ing in the bridge railing was closed
with ropes shortly after the accident.

EMBARGO
CURTA|LS OUTPUT
OF LOCAL PLANTS

Richmond manufacturing concerns
are feeling keenly the effects of the
Pennsylvania railroad embargo, es-
tablished prior to December l as a
resurt of unusual car shortage, and
some of these concerns will be forced
to curtail their output unless prompt
relief is provided, and indications are
that the car shortage situation will be-
come worse before any relief is pro-
vided.
No embargo is maintained by the C..
& O. railroad but that line has its car
shortage problem to contend with the
same as every other railroad.
Many of Richmond industries would
have been completely paralyZed some
weeks ago had it not been for the serv-
ice extended by the C. & O., but that
one road cannot provide the service
required by local manufacturing con-
Germs.
Richmond's three automobile fac
tories are probably feeling the effects
of the embargo more than any other
industry.
One of these concerns reported to-
day that it is now three weeks behind
in it's shipments, serious situation
because these concerns have been
flooded with orders for spring deliv-
cry. The automobile factories have
been continuing manufacturing up TO
their plant capacity through the en-
tire embargo period and as result are
now utilizing their entire storage
space.

SCHOOLS
TO BE ERECTED
SAYS WILLIAMS

Erection OF three vocational high
schools in Wayne county at the COM
bined cost of about 100000 within
the next two years is almost a GER
tainty, 1t was announced from the
county superintendent's Office today
The proposed locations are in Fair
view, east of Richmond in Wayne
township on the interurban line, and
near Cambridge City in Jackson town
ship
To answer objections being offered
against the erection of vocational
high school in Fairview because the
location is not in the center of Wayne
township, another vocational high
school will be founded east of Rich
mond. The vocational high schools
will not attempt to prepare people for
college. Domestic science and agri-
culture will feature the curricula.
For every ten male students in the
school. one acre of demonstration land
will be provided.
State Pays Part Expense
Under the vocational educational
law, the state pays two-thirds of main
tenance expenses of vocational high
schools Three teachers will be need
ed for each school, thus each school
will cost Wayne township about
$1,000 a year. The original building
expense must be borne by the county.
Cambridge City and Jackson town
ship school authorities have notified
County Superintendent Williams, that
a township and vocational high school
will be erected near Cambridge within
the next year. The exact location, de-
pends upon whether or not Dublin
will join the central school plan
County Superintendent Williams
said today that he believes the voca-
tional high school plan will result in
the two-thirds of common school grad
yates who take no higher education re-
ceiving training which will help them
all through life
If these schools plan successful,
other townships will take up the
plans.
Dougan Had Planned Gift.
1t was made public today that some
time ago, John B. Dougan shortly be- .
fore his death, was planning to donate
a site of ground between Richmond
and Centerville to be used as the seat
of memorial vocational high school.
Wayne, Center, Webster and Abing-
ton townships were planning to CO.
operate in establishing a centralized
agricultural and domestic science
school for common school graduates.
Plans for the establishment of the
first vocational high school in the
county will be discussed at a meeting
of patrons in Wayne township school
Number 10 in Fairview this evening.

TAFT SEES NEED
TO REVISE LAWS
OF U. s. FATHERS
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. THE pol
icy of Washington and Jefferson with
reference to entangling alliances and
the theory that America has been
favored by fortune with a splendid
ISOLATION" were declared to be utterly
in applicable to present conditions by
former president William Fl. Taft at
a dinner here last night under the aus
pices of the league to enforce peace.
"In the light of the present national
crisis" he said, prepare to disregard
the warnings given by Washington
and Jefferson against entangling al
liances When this advice was given
this nation numbered but four million
persons and was four or fve times far
ther removed from Europe than now,
in point Of time required for trars-
portation
"Since then. the United States has
become world power Neither Wash
ington nor Jefferson ever dreamed of
our Japanese questions, our Philippine
problems or those raised by the Pana-
ma Canal. At that time, there was
no Monroe doctrine to preserve and
defend"

advice from Washington. After hear

nounced no decision on the question Of

liner St Louis, officers of the line, said
the steamer would not leave New York

Guards Protect Navigation.
1t was authoritively declared on be-
half OF the administration that the on
ly action taken has been to put YES
sells and their crews under such guard
and protection as to prevent anything
being done which would obstruct nav
igation or in any other way violate the
laws to which they would in any case
be subject. Only the necessary pre-
cautions it was said are being taken
against violations of the law of any
sort.
Secretary Baker gave out the fol-
lowing statement: "In the harbors of
Manila and elsewhere in the Philip
pine Islands and at Colone Panama,
the German merchant vessels were
discovered to have had certain parts
of their machinery removed and in
some instances evidences of prepara-
tions for the sinking of these vessels
have been made He said this gov
ernment does not deny the right of
the commanders and crews to disman-
tie their ships as long as navigation is
not obstructed.

(By Associated Press)

tBy Associated FfcSS)
WASHINGTON, Feb. Z. - Reports
that German authorities have decided
to hold Ambassador Gerard In Berlin
until assured of good treatment of
Count Won Bernstorff by the Wash
ington government, threw a new ele-
ment into the German-American situ-
alton today.
Officials were hopeful, however, that
Great Britain's promise of safe con-
duct for the German ambassador and
his party for the sea trip home, will
speedily remove any possible inten-
tion of OBTAINING the American repre-
sentative Confirmation of the report
ed detention was sought at the state
department today.
The government is still waiting for
some act of Germany which might
make relations suddenly more serious,
but it was stated last night after the
cabinet meeting that nothing had oc-
CURED to change that attitude. The
next step of the United States, if one
should be necessary, will be taken
without addressing any communica-
tion to Germany, it was declared au-
thoritatively.
Preparations Are Progressing
Congress and all executive depart
ments of the government were prog
ressing today in their preparations for
any eventuality.
1t is this activity which has sur
prised entente diplomats, and caused
them today to emphasize their hope
that the United States win not actu-
ally 60 to war. They fear a declara-
tion of war would harm the entente
cause by stopping the export Of muni-
tions.
. The state department today hoped
to receive early replies from some
neutrals to President Wilson's pro-
posal that they join the United States
in severing relations with Germany,
but it was indicated that no such
word had been received so far
A break with Austria seemed to de-
pend mainly on the reply of Ambassa-
cor Penfield at. Vienna to the state
departments inquiries concerning de-
tails of the Austrian submarine note,
which officials now admit has been
received.
Secretary Daniels today urged i'm
mediate congressional action looking
to establishment of government
monopoly of all radio plants.
