SAYS
WATCH BATTERY
Ell Paso Haynes Man Ayers
Care of Battery Most
Important.

Care Of a storage battery IN winter
is an important factor for tho ar o.
mobile owner, whether the car is in
use or not, according 70 s o. Bottorf,
local Haynes representative. who has
received the following advice from c.
L Hedges, service manager OF the
Haynes Automobile company.
"a storage battery is a chemical and
not mechanical device. and for that
reason care and attention rather than
strength OF materials count for the
most in the life OF the battery. The
actual difficulties, however. are not
great II the battery is examined at
regular intervals
Especially in the winter is the
storage battery likely 70 give trouble
because OF improper care or actual
abu Sc The lights are used more,
teWer long drives are taken and there
IS less opportunity for recharEing.
The driver Is more inclined to take
for granted that the battery will take
care Of itself. He may hold the start
ing button down instead Of printing,
and furthermore the battery Is apt
TO freeze.
"AH that IS needed to care for a
battery is a hydrometer syringe. and
e. 4
no event should any acid or electro
lyte be added to the battery except
by experienced men.
Temperature Is Important
Temperature plays an important
part In determining the effectiveness
OF the battery as a cold battery three
tourths charged viii produce no more
current that q warm battery only one
half charged. For this reason hydro
meter readings Of each cell should be
taken about twice a month. whether
the car Is in use or not, to determine
whether recharging or refllIing with
distilled water Is necessary.
Readings from 1850 70 1900 show
the battery fully charged. For the
most part all cells of the battery
should be kept within that range. A
FULLY charged battery will not freeze
until temperature of about 90 de-
grees below zero has been reached
A battery which is to stand idle in
the winter should be fully charged
and the positive wire removed to pre-
vent possible short circuits through
the wiring system Rechargiug should
follow when the battery is 10 be used
after. having been idle for several
months"

Baltimore Dealer Promises
Customer Delivery of
Big Bus.

That some automobile dealers do
not allow such q thing as poor freight
and transportation facilities to upset
their plans for a busy season is
demonstrated by the fact that the
Baltimore Studebaker distributor last
week secured a six-cylinder I6-pas-
senger bus for q prospective customer
in his territory by driving the ma
chine over the roads from the Detroit
factory.
StUdebaker 'busseS on the stage
routes Of the west have become very
numerous during the past few years,
displacing the now antiQuated even
though romantic pony express" Of
the early days. In addition to cover
ing greater mileage per day. &C
cOmmodating more passengers per
trip-tO say nothing OF the extensive
ness Of their express and delivery
traffic-these buses have opened IN
the opportunities for business in
towns where railroad facilities were
not Of the best

Owing to the thickly settled COM
munities. and close proximity to many
railroad main lines and branches.
such buses have experienced no wide

the consequent overload placed upon
all regular transportation facilities.
the situation became desperate enough
TO warrant the adoption Of any new
form Of travel that would give relief
TO the sorely pressed railways. That
is why, perhaps. the east has been 50
willing to try the methods used by

freiSht. quickly from place to place.

electric lines. And that Is why. too.
Studebaker dealers throughout the
eastern territory have found ready sale

bic for them to obtain from the fac

tiCularly active in promoting the sale
OF these big passenger cars, dispos-
Ing OF them to individuals and trans

At $40 p. m Thursday the machine

Quick Tire Man Says the
Proper Initiation of Tire
Stops Trouble.

There are certainly a large per-

PLANTATION Of stone bruises on tires.
Many motorists do not investigate
the reason for the well known and
costly stone bruise'" said Mr.. Booth.
Wei, let me say right here and now
that the great and prevalent cause is
lack Of proper initiation Of the tire.
You cannot tell by kicking. feeling
or looking at your tire from the out

means Of accurate Information. Sup
