SOME ELECTRIC
 STARTING HISTORY

"Nearly every car owner knows that MT. T. Al Willard had a great deal to do with the starting battery, says MT. Nicholas chief electrician of the Western Machinery Company, Electrical and Storage Batteries Ser vice Station, on East Washington, but only a few know of the part he took in making electric starting and lighting practical for automobiles.
 "Long before electric lighting was seriouslyl considered, MT. Willard had perfected battery for lighting rail- way coaches and was familiar with every detail of the system. This was in the days when all motor cars were "auto's" and had to be "wound-up"- when acetylene lights were the best to be had, and the spark came from a set of dry batteries.
 "Electricity had one big job on the automobile that it didn's have on the Pullman-that was starting. As starting even with the most economic al motor took considerable current the battery had to be kept we'll charged.
 "One of MT. Willard's biggest jobs in automobile starting and lighting was to make d generator that would keep the battery "on charge" all the time except when the engine was go- ing very slowly. He developed the eXtra-brush system of regulation which regulates the charging of the engine regardless of the engine speed.
 Another important thing MT. Will lard did was to help perfect the small low-voltage lamps that are used for head and tail lights and for light on the dash. He not only advocated low voltage lamps, but proved that better results were possible with 6 or 12 volt systems than with the earlier "A volt systems. The higher voltages are now rarely found.
 The most recent and perhaps the greatest contribution MT. Willard ever made to automobile electric lighting is the Threaded Rubbed Insulation. By this invention the use of durable, ,long lived rubber insulation in automobile starting and lighting batteries was made possible for the first time. In a way that was characteristic of MT. Willard's ingenuity he solved the problem of inserting nearly 100000 tiny threads in each one of the battery insulators.

THE FIGHTING TRAIL"
(Continued from the last issue)
Episode 5-"TOrrent Rush"

Gwyn rushed from the room and out through the door. Nan stood, as if she were dazed. The dawn was begin ming to cast thin gray shadow in the sky, and shone as mist through the tops of the trees. Around the hut and in the thick stretch of trees it was still dark. As Gwyn threw him. self upon a horse, ready saddled, and prepared to ride out to the trail, Nan rushed from the hacienda and mounted another They did not speak word, but clattered off toward the trail at top speed.
 Meantime, Yaqui Joe, faithful to his trust, had ridden bravely after the brigands and, as it transpired into the very jaws of death. When he mounted Il his pony and started after the gang it was easy for him to pick up and fol- low their trail. He rode rapidly for nearly five miles and then, his prac- tised eye noting that the others had stoppedrtheir horses, apparently to hold conference, he suddenly dis mounted, tethered his horse and began cautiously to advance on foot.
 The Indian had gone only sparse one hundred yards when suddenly the huge form of Shoestring Drant came hurtling from the brush on rising at the right hand side of the road. He landed squarely on Joe's shoulders, bearing him to the ground and knock ing his rifle from his hand. Won Bleck, Cut-Deep and two other men quickly joined him. Joe struggled manfully, but in vain. The odds were too great for him and it was a matter of only a few seconds for the outlaws to make him a captive.
 Then began the torture that showed the depths of fiendishness that lay in Cut-Deep Rawls and Shoestring Drant. Joe was bound fast to the trunk of a tree, his bonds cutting into his flesh so that he winced from the pain. But he made no outcry. Rawls demanded that Joe, as the price of his liberty reveal the location of-the mine. The Indian made no sign. Rawls struck the man blow in the face. Again he made his demand. Again Joe was silent and Rawls, his anger yelling up like a torrent, showered blow after blow on his victim until even rugged Yaqui failed under the brutal attack and he passed into unconsciousness, his body sagging Imply.
 Rawls turned away. To Drant he said:
 "You and the others stay here and see what yoA can get out of this bull headed coyote-Von Bleck and I will return to Ybarra's and hunt for the other half of this internal map"
 He and Won Bleck mounted and rode away and Shoestring gave his at tention to Joe, who, weakened though he was, revived in a few moments.
 Shoestring took up the torture where Cut-Deep had stopped, but beating still failed to make the h. dian betray his masters secret. En- ragged, Shoestring drew his revolver and deliberately shot off the lobe of the Indians right ear. Still Joe re- mained silent. Drant then drew forth a long-bladed hunting knife and, with cruelty unbelievable, began plunging it into the flesh of Ybarra's faithful servant, and soon blood was streaming from a score of wounds in Joe's arms, legs, neck and chest. When this fail ed to unseal his lips, Drant ordered his men to build fire beneath the feet of
