Care of the Storage Battery

out for use as If by turning on a spigot.
You pass a current through it from the
generator which is geared to your en-
CINE and this current changes the
chemical condition Of tho battery. caus-
ing sulphuric acid to be drawn out Of
the plates and redeposited In the bat
terry solution. Then when you close
the starting or lighting circuit cur
rent flows out Of the battery, as chem
ical action causes tho sulphuric acid
to combine again with the lead Of the
plates.
The amount OF acid in the battery is
therefore. constant, and one should
never add to it with the mistaken idea
that it will put pep" into the batter r.
When the battery goes dead it is be-
cause the acid has gone back into the
plates, "sulphating" them, and what
the battery needs is prolonged charge
to draw it back into the solution again
This total discharge is probably your
own fault because you have used more
current for lights and starting than
the generator could put back.
You should have learned that you
must test your battery with q hydro
metre, device that registers the spe-
cifc gravity Of each cell and tells YOU
whether the battery is charged prop
cry or nct-SinCe the SpcclNc gray
ity of the battery solution (of its
weight as compared with water) varies
according to the amount Of sulphurc
acid in it. This test should be made
every two weeks.
The car builder specifies the rate
of charge for the generator according
to the average rate at which he ex.
poets his car to be driven. If you con.
tinuously drive much faster, if you
take long tours, If you have few starts
and stops and little use Of lamps, you
will put too much current into your
battery and burn up your plates. If
you arc a doctor driving in winter with
many stops, short runs and lots OF
night work, you'll take too much out
and the battery will go dead"
But with regular testing you car
regulate driving and avoid trouble. Ii

Leave Waterbury. running on Water

trip, alternating along both sides of
the river, is one of the most pict-
uresque anywhere in southern New
England. The road leads directly TO
the Berkshires, passing III succession
through Canaan, Ashley Falls. Shelf

scenery, numerous historic landmarks
and exceptionally fine hotels all COM

Then, as a fitting climax, comes the
Mohawk Trail. STEPPED in Indian ira
dition, this ancient road, which ex-
tends from North Adams to Greenfield,
is now perhaps the most famous motor
| road anywhere throughout the East,
and the view from the summit of

Running south from Greenfield the
route passes in succession through

your battery is being underfed, take It
to service station and have it
charged 1t doesn't cost much and Is
an insignificant price for essential SER
vice compared to oil, gas and most
other charges If your battery is
overfed, it will feel hot to the touch.
Then you should open the starter a
little oftener or. better still. turn on
all your lights.
The other element in the acid solu-
ton of the battery is water. In con-
nection with this there are two things
for the car owner to remember:
1..Water evaporates and must be
replaced at intervals of two weeks
2. Only pure distilled water should
be used.
More trouble results from neglect
Of this than from any other cause.
When the level OF the water falls be-
low the top of the plate, only the sub
merged portion of the plate is active.
less plate surface and less current
going out. Result: overheating and
uneven deterioration of plates.
AS 90 per cent Of all Battery trou-
bles result from neglect Of these two
easy, simple things thus far men
tioned--testing and tilling-you can
CINE what an increase there would
be in battery life if simply that much
and no more was observed by the cal
owner. Moreover, there is hardly 8
garage which does not profess to flush
and test batteries regularly for its
customers hundreds of those cars
are daily driven into battery service
stations and found to be only hall
filled or undercharged. Every garage
proprietor should insist that one Of
his men do this little job for each
car regularly. Tho average car own
err would far rather pay a small OK
ira charge than to bother about Il
himself.
And it should be pure distilled water
not "city" water from the nearest fau
Get. Otherwise you may be LITERAL,
poisoning the batteries with ingredi
cnts which it cannot digest. Otkel
was in which batteries are carciessi,
handled in garage are these:

and after that Springfield.
Between Springfield and Hartford
there are two routes, but the prefer

OfMtereSt Women
PARIS SKIRT DRAPERY IDEAS.

with the tight band at the ankle was
a commonplace feature of fashion in
the shops. although it was not gener-
ally adopted for the street and the
house. The wholesale houses caught
on to the idea of revolutionizing the
contour of the figure with expected
avidity, and two weeks after the new
type of skirt was launched in this
country the ready-to-wear houses
were selling it from $25 up. So we
arranged our minds to new point of
view and saw in the immensely full
tunic and the narrow foot band, which
is the best known of the oriental sill
houette, an absolute reversal of
what we possessed.
Now, here comes the very house of
Callot, and a host of American houses,
with a modified full skirt that goes
back to the classic drapery of other
days. No wonder the average woman
is so puzzled that she feels it would
be wiser not to buy any clothes until
things are settled! She links up the
social revolution in Europe with the
upset condition of clothes; she decides
that nothing is peaceful or tranquil
and that she will keep out of the path
of both hurricanes.
This is a very good condition of
mind in which to dwell. but there are
lew women who do not need clothes
today. The war necessitated long
eeIHh VI economy IN CloLHeS, anu
every one did not break loose from the
bonds of the caterpillar to the wings
of a butterfly the moment the armi
stfce was signed. There were vast
segments of women who had been
compelled to be economical through
the obligations they had incurred
with liberty bonds, the Red Cross and
other kindred war expenditures. They
had kept their clothes in the best pos
sible condition and pulled through the
winter with them, SO that they could
meet the spring with a gladdened
heart and feel themselves justified in
buying new apparel

The Compromise Skirt.

Now the question confronts them:
what kind of skirt shall they choose
IN these new clothes? 1t may be that
the draped garment is the best, and it
would be wise to look at this well be-
fore choosing the balloon or the
sheath skirt. The prophets feel that
the latter is doomed and that the
FORMER Is the forerunner of all that
IS to be, even if we do not accept it
in it's entirety.
The house of Callot. which launched
the Camargo style, has sent to this
country gown which shows ex-
qu1site draping and which has led the
way to Kind of compromise contour.
The sketch shows it. 1t is of bis
cu1t-colored satin, with a cuirass bod
ice and draped skirt that has many
touches of orientalism about it. 1t is
not necessary to choose an evening
gown in order to get this drapery; a
h1gh bodice and pair of sleeves turn
a frock into something suitable for
street or indoor wear
Ihe drapery of this skirt is allur-
ing 1t is pulled up in front to a gold
Duckle; 1t is seemingly held by gold
Dands OF gold braid that go around
the figure, and it's open drapery at
the sides discloses the tight-fittinr
cuirass or cream lace embroidered in
gold. You will notice that the en-
tlre skirt is drawn upward in front.
wn1cn Is not only distinct Callot
louch. but one that Is copied by dress
makers In this country who believe
that it is the ruling movement in
drapery. ~

to see jolly Mr.. Sun get up in the
