That recent appeals to the young
women of Delaware to stand by
the schools have been needed
throughout the state, is indicated |
by the present rate of enrolment |
in the Summer School which opens
at Delaware College on July 9Th.
Present indications point to an en-
rollment of perhaps $50 students.
"The Great War;" the bulletin re-
Gently issued states, "has drawn
many teachers from the public
schools into government and busi-
ness positions. The need for train
Il ed persons in this field is conse-

BUICK EXPERT SAYS
 BATTERIES EVEN F
 PERFECT NEED CARE


 The electric shortage battery on Buick cars, for which Babbitt Broth CTS are agents, is an excellent one and with the most ordinary care will con- tinue to give good service for an in- definite period. But from the very na- ture of the work it has to do, there are certain things that should have regu- lar attention in order to keep the bat tery up to it's maximum efficiency.
 The level of the electrolyte, or acid solution, in the battery should be care fully watched, pure distilled water be- ing added when necessary to keep the level well above the plates. The water in the electrolyte evaporates while the generator is changing it, and once a week is not too often to inspect it by removing the filling plugs. Acid should never be added, as it will not evapor- ate.
 When the current is discharged from the battery the sulphuric acid in the electrolyte combines with the mater ial in the plates and forms a coating of sulphate of lead on the plates. The action is reversed in charging, and the acid again returns to the solution.
 The acid is heavier than water, So a
Arizona republican., 1918-02-24

hydrmeter test of the solution tells hydrometer whether the battery has full charge or not, by showing the spe- cific gravity of the electrolyte. This test should be made regularly every few weeks, either in person or by the local dealer.
 Keep the top of the battery wiped clean and dry.
 Once or twice a season it is advis- able to leave the battery with the Buick dealer or battery service station for inspection. This may not seem necessary at the time, but will add to the general efficiency of the battery.
 When the car is again taken out after having been laid up for some time, the battery should be tested im- mediately, and if the hydrometer read- ing is below 1,250 it should be taken to a charging station and recharged.
 When the car is laid up for amy con- siderable period, it is best to leave the battery at the service station to be drained or otherwise taken care of, and then recharged when put in ser vice.
 If this is not done before storing, the battery should be left in the car with all connections frightened and the no tor run for three or four hours, care being taken to see that the electrolyte sasses freely with the level up to the base of the filling plugs. When the hydrometer reading is somewhere be- tween 1.250 and 1900, the battery ter minals may be loosened, the battery removed and stored in cool, dark place. The terminals should be greased with vaseline to prevent cor rosion.
 The battery should be charged every thirty days when in storage, and if the hydrometer reading is kept up to nor nal the electrolyte will not freeze in a temperature as low as 50 degrees be- low zero.
 The charging and discharging of the battery when in service is an endless chain affair and only requires these simple precautions to keep the battery in the best condition. A fully charged battery will show a hydrometer read ing of from 1.275 to 1900, and if watched to keep the reading up to normal it will amply repay the owner by good service rendered.

CHANGES IN FRAME DESIGN MAKE VITAL
 POINT ID AUT0|STS

To the average motor car owner, the frame of the vehicle he drives is abso- lutely unknown. He believes that this important part of his car is of metal and even here he would be mistaken in one notable case, and lets it go at that. Now it happens that-there have been some very interesting develop ments in frame design and construc- tion during the last few years, which any man who has invested a consider able sum of money in a car, ought to understand.
 In some cases manufacturers obliv- iouS of the future, have taken ad vantage of this carelessness on the part of buyers, by employing in their cars poorly designed frames or more frequently a cheap and unsubstantial sort of metal, which has been incap- able of standing up under the punish ment that this part of the chassis in evitably receives. A poorly construct ed frame soon develops weaknesses at the joints and begins to sag. The re- suit is that a series of horrepdous squeaks develop, the doors gap open or bind and the superstructure of the car rapidly rattles to pieces.
 Until very recently practically all motor car makers, no matter how much of the rest of the vehicle they might produce in their own shops, bought frames from the parts makers. Now, however, there is a distinct tendency to devote just as much pains to de- signing this part of the chassis as any other. It was always thought essential that a passenger car should be flexible that a factor should be allowed for what is known as weaving. At the present time several prominent manu- lecturers are using a rigid frame which is apparently relieved of all the faults that used to be believed inevit- able in this part.
 Present day practice has universally accepted the overhung type of frame which means that it is located above the axles. The underslung frame achieved some popularity a few years ago, but it las passed on for the pres- ent.
 The material generally employed ir making car frames is carbon steel, al Toy steel being perforce reserved fol the higher priced cars. In design all of them embody what are known as channel sections for the rails, these being the side members upon Which the body is mounted. Connecting the rdliS are cross ineLhDerS, spanning tnt l frame at right angles to the former The number of cross members varies l according to the ideas of the individua engineer; sometimes three are consid- cred sufficient and again as many as six may be used. The side rails, nee. l essarily taper somewhat toward theil ends, at which places they are joined to the springs in various ways. The ruling practice today is thf tapered frame, in which the front is

COPPER COATING

It is possible to deposit a thin coat ing of copper on iron or steel by the following process: Clean the metal thoroughly, washing with a soda solu- tion to remove any grease present. Next dip the metal into a solution of sulphate of copper, which is also known as blue vitrol, in proportions of two ounces of the sulphate to eight ounces of water. While the copper coating Will not last as long as electro plating and will not stand heavy friction, but it is good rough and ready method of copper coating, sosas to prevent cor rosion of the under metal.

TO CLEAN BRASS

To clean brass that is too badly dis colored to yield to ordinary polishes, try dipping it in nitric acid for a few minutes, after which it should be plunged into water and then should be thoroughly dried in sawdust. Nitric acid should be handled with care, kept off the clothing CT skin. Any spots of the acid on the clothes should be cov- cred with strong ammonia, otherwise the cloth will be destroyed.

STRENGTHENING WIRE

Stray pieces of copper wire have many uses but it often is necessary to straighten out wire that has already been used. See that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the wire and straighten out by hand any such that are found Fasten an end of the wire to some firm anchorage, grip 1t in the wise if need be. Loop the other end of the wire around a hammer handle or similar instrument and then pull out the length of wire. Repeat this operation as often as necessary. If the wire is of soft copper. it will stretch a little. which improves it.
