OLD TROUBLE SOLVED
BY WILLARD Battery

THE common practice of using
wood insulation in all batteries"
says r. ]. Olinger, manager Of
the Puget Sound Battery COM
pany, Willard service station, in
speaking OF recent battery i'm
provements, "necessitated the
forming of the batteries as soon
as they were assembled. That is,
each and every battery had to be
filled with the electrolyte fluid
and fully charged as soon as it
was assembled.
"lnasmuch as a battery began
to live it's life, sometimes for
long periods before it reached the
user, it was impossible to place a
guarantee of condition on it. For
years the battery makers had
combatted this trouble, and re-
Gently the Willard Battery Co.
eliminated the difficulty by tbs
production OF the still better Will
lard battery which has thread
rubber insulation between the
plates. This does not deteriorate
and has perfect, even porosity
turnout the surfaces.
Neither, because OF its use, is
1t necessary to build up and ship
the batteries containing it, wet
filled with electrolyte. They come
to us bone dry and are kept that

There is nothing so very Won

The majority of persons in
our service department are spe-
cialists in their respective lines,
while the owner, whose expert
ence is limited to one car, or a
few at the most, knows only that
there are certain general causes
of trouble.
Some car owners are like a

Allotmcnts for dependents Of enlisted
men at Rartan Arsenal Camp, New

and Red Cross men stationed at the
arsenal. The headquarters of the
American Red Gross has requested Of

there.
The Red Cross men have received

camp contains only about 5000 men.
The camp branch Of the Red Cross re-

These CLANS are pushed and steps
taken thu ough the Civilian Relief As
sociation of the Red Gross to ascer-
tain how needy are the dependents. In
a large number of cases the men are
from the mountains of North and South

are dependent upon the allotment.
Payday at Raritan Arsenal comes
from five to fifteen days late, which is

Baker Asks Draft
Boards to Find
Work for Troops
Cooperation With Labor
and Local Industries to
Avoid Competing Agen-
cies Sought by Secretary
NeW York Tribune
WdshiMQtO7. Bnre0M

WASHINGTON, Dec. 49, Draft
boards of the country were called upon
to-day by Secretary of War Baker to
cooperate with the Department of
Labor and other agencies in procuring
employment for soldiers upon their de-
mobilization. The services of the draft
officials is needed because of their
intimate knowledge of local conditions,
as we'll as official knowledge of the oc-
cupation of each drafted man called
into service
Secretary Bakers request was con-
tanned in the following statement:
81 am anxious to have the policy Of
the War Department understood with
regard 10 the relations between draft
boards and the return of soldiers to
labor opportunities.
''The department is hopeful that the
draft boards throughout the country
will remain voluntarily organized and
associated, and as such continue their
interest in the returning soldiers, af-
fliating themselves with the employ
ment representative Of the Depart
ment of Labor so that he can bring
together in each community all agen-
cies which have interest in the so1-
diers and have opportunities for bring
ing them into contact with places of
employment. l am particularly anxious
to have draft boards assume that
function Of bringing themselves into
contact with proper labor representa-
'tives, so that they can continue their
interest in the soldiers and help them
to return to places Of profitable occu-
patton.
"The War Department has not asked
the draft boards to assume this duty
officially because it would have created
a competing agency. This work should
be under the jurisdiction of the De-
partment Of Labor The Labor Depart
ment has in every community Of the
country field representative, and
there are also in every community
agencies like industrial committees
chambers Of commerce, rotary clubs
labor unions, all of which have facli
ties for communicating with labor ane
industrial opportunities and also have
special interests in the soldiers. l.
would seem better to have the Depart
raent Of Labor representative acting
as kind Of president OF these various
/ gro1ps, bringing them all into cooper
alton so that a soldier would not b.
passed from one to another, but eacl
would have that agency aiding hin
which is best adapted to his particular
! case, and the distribution systemat
ically done by the Department of Labol
! representative.
