FILLING BATTERY TOO FULL
AS Bad as Not Putting In Any Water,
as Overflow Runs Into Bottom,
Eating 1t Out

Filling your battery too full Is as
bad as not putting any water into 1t
at all.
When the cells are too full, rough
riding or rapid charging Of the bat
terry due to long sustained or rapid
driving forces the electrolyte to over
flow and run down into the bottom Of
the battery box. 1t Is only a short
time until the acid fluid will eat the
bottom out.
The motorist should keep in mind
that while it is pure distilled water
he puts into the cells, it is not water,
but diluted acid that overflows. This
acid will corrode both wood and steel.
In filling the battery cover the plates
with about a half inch of water. More
than this is unnecessary. This depth
will allow for the movement Of cleo
trolyte caused by rough driving or
rapid charging.

ONE WHEEL REGnMES |
Trouble is Due to Fact That There Is
Too Much Play in Brake Link
age-HoW to Remedy.

The owner who is not diligent and
neglects the parts he does not see or
which do not give trouble usually may
find some time that upon starting one
of the wheels becomes locked, even
though the brake pedal and lever are
free. This is due TO the fact that
there is so much play in the brake
linkage that when the hand brake
lever is released it merely takes up
the play, leaving the unlubricated
mechanism set in holding position,
This happened recently, and a ham
mer had to be used to loosen the brake
mechanism. If you should have fuel
feed trouble which you cannot explain
it may be caused by pieces of solder
in the gas tank.

An engineer of national reputation,
who has been making distlllation tests
Of lubricant taken from the crankcases
OF motOrcars, reports in one typical

nor less than gasoline which had not
been consumed and had leaked down
past the pistons. Only Btu per cent
of good lubrlcatlng oil was found--oil
that Is really suited for fabrication Of

Nor was this a neglected car. The oil
had been in the crankcase only nine
days and grade of gasoline testing So
