TROUBLE CAUSED
BY POOR BATTERY
Much Satisfaction to Car Owner
to Know lust Why His
Starter Won't Work.
HyDROMETER USED FOR TEST
In Stopping Car Frequently Large
Amount of Current Is Being Used
for cranking Engine-Re-
charge Battery at Once.

When you go out to your garage In
the morning and find that for some
reason or other your starter won't
work, it gives you lot Of satisfac-
ton to know exactly what the trouble
is, although you may not be able your
self to remedy 1t.
If you find that your battery has
not energy enough to turn over the
starting motor, the first thing you
do, naturally, is to test it with your
hydrometer. Nine times out Of ten
you will find that the trouble is
starving. The hydrometer will in
fallibly uncover this condition, for In
stead of registering 1880 to 1900, as
it would If the battery were fully
charged, it will register below 1900.
What Causes Trouble.
All right. You've discovered that
your battery is starved. But going
back a step farther, "What causes
1t to be starved? How did 1t come
about that the battery which is to
supply you with energy and to spare
for starting and lighting gets into a
condition that 1t has not power
enough for either one Of these
thingsY"
How are you running your car?
If you are running 1t In the city,
short distances, stopping frequently,
you are using large amount Of cur
rent for cranking the engine without
giving the generator a chance to re-
store to the battery power enough to
offset this drain.
While 1t Is impossible to state just
how much the car should be run to
keep the battery in fully charged
condition, this much can be said :
Every time you crank your engine the
battery for q few moments Is put
ting forth two horse power Of en-
ergy.
Battery Wears Out.
Very obviously If 1T Is called upon
to do this long at time or at too
frequent intervals, it is not going to
be long before the battery Is exhaust
ed. If, however, the machine is run
u COuSlu0FdUl6 QlStduCS dl a IulA AdlC
Of speed, say from Is to 20 miles per
hour, the generator gets chance to
restore energy to the battery and the
dangers of starving are reduced in that
proportion.
Some days, perhaps, in testing
your battery you find one cell or two
cells show the normal reading, but
the third shows very low reading.
This can only be interpreted In one
way, the entire battery is in poor con-
dition. The fact that two cells show
a higher reading than the third is
merely accidental. The fact at the
bottom Of the whole thing is this /:
The measure of energy in the dis
charged cell is very probably the
measure of energy Of the whole bat
terry. In such case the battery
should be recharged at once at the
battery service station.

Famine at Home In Spite
OF Low Supplies

The fact that the people of the
United States were able TO reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption OF sugar proves conciu-
siyely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready TO fol-
low the injunetions OF the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total OF 100000 for the quarter
year
In July. when our sugar stringency
began TO reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
iributIon and in September only 2T9.-
fell to 10000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes of sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were so low as TO bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be absolutely impossible TO
reduce consumption TO q point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consunp
