WATCH WATER MARK
 IN BATTER|ES NOW

l"One of the most important things necessary to a storage battery is plenty of pure, clean water" says F.. l.. Gie- low of the Western Machinery com pany, the Willard service station in this city.
 "A battery should be filled without fail once every week in the summer time, he says. And it is very inn portant that the solution be at the proper height in all cells This easily can be determined by looking through the -venthole in the top. Looking into the hole exposed by removing the vent plug one sees an inner hole that looks like the bottom of a tube The battery should be filled with water up to the bottom of this inside tube.
 The water for filling should be either distilled water, melted artificial ice, or filtered rain water which has not come in contact with iron pipes or tin roofs
 Lack of solution in the cells rapidly shortens the battery's life by reducing the area of active surface on the plates. If a battery is used for any length of time with the solution below the tops of plates they 'disintegrate. Regular testing and filling with pure water is the preventative"

GAS DEMANDS TIER
 WAR WILL BE GREAT

Demands on the gasoline supply will be greater after than during the war according to we'll posted men. There are many who fear. that the end of the conflict will see decline in the con- sumption of petroleum products, espe- cially of gasoline
 The demands for export will then be considerably larger-in fact. will be tremendous. All indications are that the heaviest demand ever experienced by the refiners will be that which will come at the close of the war.
 Europe now uses gasoline only for war purposes. It is a penal offense there to use it for any other purpose. With the war at an end there will be a revival of motoring, and all increase in the use of gasoline from that source. and also for the use of motortrucks. tractors, and other similar apparatus.
 This renewed demand from passen- ger car, truck. tractor, boat, airplane and other sources. will be immense. and conservation of gasoline will be more necessary than ever. With that situa- ton confronting America and the world at large. the question of economy in the use Of gasoline will become even more important than now

early evening sweeping about in the sky. The nighthawk and the whip poorw1ll are related and look almost exactly alike. Each is about ten inches long, slim and graceful, with a spread Of wings fully IS inches from Up 10 tip. The plumage is soft and fluffy, sort of leaden color, and mot tied with yellowish brown. and gray and black and white and with white bars on the under side of the wing.
 The whippoorwill has broad mouth and short bill, surrounded by stuff, sharp bristles. But it needs a Dig mouth, for it must grab bugs and moths as 1t sweeps through the air. since II feeds exclusively while on the wing and at night. The bristles about the mouth serve the purpose of crip- ping insects if >the bird misses them with it's mouth. and then as the erin pied bug starts to the earth with a broken wing it is easy enough for a whippoorwill to dart downward and grab the disabled victim. Flying at the speed it does, those sharp bristles will break the wing of a moth if they strike it.
 It IS almost impossible to see a WhlppoorWll in the daytime. because ot the manner in which it sits upon a limb of a tree. It doesn't sit cross wise, like other birds, but Iengthwise of the limb. It's toes are short b,1t broad spreading. and it can sit length wise on a limb better than it could sit crosswise, where it would have to clash the limb with it's toes like other birds. fou may pass right under tree where Whippoorwill is sitting on a limb and never notice it-and it knows it will never De noticed, so it doesn't become alarmed and fly out of the tree.
 The whippoorwill doesn't build nest. It lays two large round eggs in a slight depression in the ground-say in cows track in the pasture or even upon top of a dead and rotting log in the woods. If the eggs are dis covered the bird will carry them away in it's mouth and deposit them some where else, and it will do the same thing with it's young.
 The favorite hunting ground of the whippoorwill is about the edges of q forest, or over the tops of the trees where the big, fat moths are to. be found at night. It makes no noise as 1t flies, because it's feathers are soft and fluffy, but as it darts past you sometimes it utters a sort of groan, The nighthawk, you know, occasion ally gives vent to loud "yawk" as it flies through the evening air.
 The cry of the whippoorwill is it's song and only the male utters it. The female is silent. When it is singing, just as likely as not the whippoor- will is sitting. on the ground, although 1t sings from the treetops at times. It doesn't sing after midnight. From dark until about 10 o'clock is its favor lte time for singing-or yelling. Furth- CT south there is a kindred bird, some larger than our whippoorwill, which is somtimes called Chuck wills widow because that is what some folks assert it says. And in England there is bird very similar to the whippoorwill known as the goat sucker" because it is supposed to ob- tain it's food from the milk of goats. But around here we have only tho Whippoorwill and the nighthawk as members of the family.

the laws.
BECAUSE laws affect women as
much as men.
BECAUS Sc laws which affect women
are now passed without consulting
them
BECAUSE laws affecting children
should include the woman's point OF
view as well as the mans
BECAUSE laws affecting the home
are voted on In every session of the
legislature.
BECAUSE women have experience
which would be helpful To legislation.
BECAUSE to deprive women OF the
vote is 10 lower their position In com
mon estimation.
BECAUSE having the vote would
increase the sense OF responsibility
among women toward questions OF
public Importance
BECAUSE philosophical mothers
make public spirited sons
BECAUSE more than 100000 wo-
men In the United States are wage
workers, and the conditions under
which they work are controlled by law.
BECAUSE the objections against
their having the vote are based on
prejudice, not on reason.
BECAUSE, 10 sum mp all rea Sons in

REAL LIBERTY LOVERS

The splendid patriotism of the
Czecho- Slovak troops is an inspiring
evidence that the flames Of liberty
never die. From generation to gen
Grafton, through mother to son. from
father to daughter, the hopes for
freedom have been transmitted by
the brave people who have reborn a
free country out Of the ashes Of tyr
amy. The Czechs are true demo-
Gratis whose women are recognized
as part Of their people. The first
woman in Central Europe to be elect
ed to a legislative body was Mrs.
Vikova- kuneticka. At a meeting of
all Czech deputies, elected by the free
choice Of the people of the Czech
lands to the four legislative bodies,
she became the only woman in the
Bohemian Diet. OF course, Austria
would not stand for such an express

PUT QUESTION UP FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTIONS
Michigan Women Carrying on
Strenuous Campaign With

Michigan men have to vote on wo-

of 1917. Michigan women had moth
Ing 10 do with the decision They
even questioned its opportuneness In
war time.
But the legislators Of Michigan were
farseeing. They had already visualIz-
Ell the struggle for government
for women as parr OF the program OF
the world struggle for self-government.

at This crisis" said Mlchigans legis-
lators. ut belongs; it is part Of the
crisis"
Since that time the Parliament OF
England has said the same thing-and
enfranchised 100000 British women
the Canadian government has said it
and given full suffrage 10 all Canadian
women France and Belgium and Italy
have said 1t and committed themselves
by official spokesman to the enfranch-
isement OF their women
Since that time, TOO. the President
OF the United States has ser forth in
urgent language his profound convic-
ton that woman suffrage must be ac-
counted Il measure essential ~ the
success OF the war Beside him on this
issue stand the statesmen leaders OF
the country, whatever their politics.
Colonel Roosevelt, Chairman Hayes,
Colonel Bryan, Judge HuEhes-the
men most irrevocably committed TO
the successful prosecution of the war.
All are seeing and saying that wo-
man suffrage Is inherent IN what
America is fighting for-"democracy
the right OF those who submit 70 ap-
thority to have voice In their own
government"
So II is as part Of Americas war
program that the campaign for full
suffrage within Michigan's borders has
been taken up by Michigan women. Far
from sacrificing their other war ac-
tivities TO campaign for suffrage, they
have bur added the campaign 10 Red
