You know how rubber bands
lose their elasticity? Wet brit
tie rubber certainly can't be de-
pended On to >il;.ng together
when the Car bouncej over rough
roads. AID tt nth cotton used
in the pores of some rubber
separators seems to possess a
special attraction for the gas
which.Is generated in battery.
The cotton seems to clog up
with gas and of course electric
current can't pass through gas
and when the gas gets into the
pores such a battery has much
less power than a battery with
quarter-sawed hard wood sapa-
rators."

mond Grid Battery. 1t looks
good to me-"
'Not yet," said the service
station man. "All of those de-
tails that l have told you about
are important. They make a
good battery, they are not the
most important features of the
battery. Now if your old bat
terry had all of those good fea-
lures which the Philadelphia
Diamond Grid Battery has, and
if the Philadelphia Diamond
Grid Battery were built the way
your old one is built, with the ex-
ception of the plates, l would
still tell you to buy a Phila-
dalphia Diamond Grid Battery.
Let us have a look at your
plates. Let us see what has hap
pened to them. In the first
place, a couple of your plates
have buckled. Instead OF lying
straight and flat, the way they
should, you see how they are
twisted. Now, I have been in
the battery business for a long
time, and, personally, 1 have
never seen a Philadelphia Ria-
mond Grid plate buckle. You
have seen drawbridges over riv-
ers. Pretty husky structures,
aren't they? Do you realize how
they are built? All the. iron
beams in them zig gag back and
forth. they criss cross every
way, they form diamonds where
they intersect. Do you recall
them?

"Yes."

strips of steel with zig gag MAX

Don't you begin to get it?
Everything THAT is strong is
braced at an angle. l saw my
wife put braid on the bottom of
her skirt. She cut the braid on
the bais. When asked her why
she did it, she said, ''It doesn't
wear out so easily" l saw a
carpenter siding a house the
other day and he nailed the
boards diagonally, TO make it
strong enough to go through
cyclones he said. Drive out in
the country and look at all the
windmills. They have TO stand
a terrible strain of wind and
vibration and weather. All of
them are built with angle braces
and these angles braces all form
diamonds. If you want to build
anything strong, build it in the
form of diamond. Now you
take this plate. You see it con-
sists of paste. set into a frame
work or grid as they call it..
Just compare the Diamond Grid
with the grid of the plate in
your old battery"
"Your old one simply has
straight up and down members

think that is strong compared

you notice the way those lines
alternate-hard, soft. hard, soft,

hard ones all offering perfect re,-
sistance to the pressure oil the
plates and protecting the soft
ones from being broken, the soft

diamond way? Those plates OF
yours have buckled. The inter-
nal strain has caused them to
twist out of shape. Now look at
this Diamond Grid. No matter
in what direction the strain
comes, there is something there
to resist it. Suppose the strain
came this way. This line, this

This brown stuff is the active
material of the plate. Now all
OF your brown stuff is dropping
out of the plate. Every bit that
you lose means a loss of so much
capacity. Do yor wonder that it
drops out OF a plate built this

stuck on. There Is nothing to
hold it in. Now look at this dia-

of the plate) crosses this and
this and this and this, but in
your old plate, you don't find
any crossings of that sort. The

IMMUNE TO
DYNAMITE

One of the most remarkable
things in passing events happen
ed last Friday on the public
highway between Corona and
Gallinas that has ever occurred
in the history of Licnoln County.
Billy Ferguson, who with a force
of men are working oil the new
road between these two points,
standing in need of more dyna-
mite to use in blasting out rock
in order to make the road more
passable, dispatched one of the
teams TO Corona TO bring back
the needed explosives.
On the return trip the box
containing 200 sticks of dyna-
mite weighing so pounds in
some manner slipped off the
wagon, dropping into the soft
dirt, the loss of which was un-
discovered until the man with
his team arrived at the Fergu-
son camp. AS quickly as pos
sible, Billy hurried the hell car
rier back over the road in search
of the missing box. While all
this was going on, Mr.. Stanley
Squier with a Ford agent from
Denver by the name of Hatch
having completed some matters
of business at Corona, were re-
turning to Carrizozo and seeing
the mysterious box in the middle
of the road and thinking it
empty, thought it would be fun
to see just how far the Ford car
they were driving, could knock il.
The Denver man yelled, "FIit
i'll" Whereupon Mr.. Squier
threw everything wide open. AS
they neared the object, he saw
to his horror the name on the
side of the box" -"Dynamitel"
But it was too late. The Ford
reared itself in the air, stood on
its hind legs and struck the 200
sticks from the internal regions
such a blow that dynamite was
scattered in every direction. Not
sign Of an explosion occurred.
The Ford with its too badly
scared occupants continued its
flight as though pursued by some
gruesome phantom from the fiery
depths. They soon met the
searcher for the box to whom
they offered the above explana.
tion. They repeated II to Billy,
who stood in a listening attitude
with eyes as big as saucers.
The. Ferguson working forces
are still picking up the scattered
sticks of dynamite and wonder
ing why the shock did not ex
plode the package. Owners OF
Fords and prospective purchas.
ers may now rest assured of this
fact that their lives are safe, SO
long as they remain in Ford cars.

Hundred and Fifty Candidates
Were Taught to Cross the
Burning Sands - Pensacola
Sent Many Mobiles.

Tallahassee, Oct. 1S.-With the ar
and candidates from Jacksonville at
4:20 this morning bringing fully two
hundred visitors to the city the long
anticipated day OF festivities began.
This is the first ceremonial of the
great order to be held in Tallahassee
and there We're one hundred and thir-
ty three to cross the burning sands.
The gayest of decorations, extrava-
gantly used by all of the business
houses, indicated the warm welcome
extended to the visitors. Automobiles
flying the colors were at the disposal
of the guests during the entire day
and from the neighboring towns of
South Georgia. and West Florida hun
dreds of cars brought more visitors.
The band of thirty-five pieces from
Morocco Temple, Jacksonville, was
heard in several concerts during the
day, and at noon the Shriners visited
the state college for women, where
they We're welcomed by President
Conradi and others of the faculty. The
band and the patrol marched through
the administrator building and after
wards rendered a concert in the audi
| torium cheered by more than six hun
dred college girls. The parade which
! took place in the afternoon at 8
| O'Clock, was an elaborate affair lead
| by the band and followed in order by
| the patrol the candidates for initia-
| tion, the visiting Shriners, and follow
! ed by hundreds of automobiles. The
procession marched to the auditorium

were well cared for, however, automo-
biles We're furnished to accommodate

another beautiful concert on the ver-
anda of the Leon hotel, and at eight

gan at ten o'clock and the floor was
crowded with merry couples eager to
further enjoy the very aIluring music
of the patrol band. During the morn

PEACE TREATY
DEBATE SHIFTS
BACK TO IRISH

Washington, Oct. 1S-Peace treaty
debate in the senate shifted to the
Irish question today, Senator Walsh,
democrat of Montana, starting a sharp
discussion of the subject by calling up
his resolution to declare the United
States should bring the question of
Irish freedom before the League of
Nations as soon as it becomes a
member.
Senator Walsh declared the United
States would be responding to the
overwhelming sentiment of the Amer
lean people if it declared in the
League of Nations for Irish indie
pendence.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
asked whether the United States could
not do more for Ireland if it had six
votes, like the British empire, in the
league assembly and Senator Walsh
replied in the negative, declaring f
action were taken, the decision must
be unanimaus. He also denied sug-
gestion by Senator Lenroot, republican
of Wisconsin TO present such a plea
to the league would be in violation OF
Great Britain's territorial integrity as
guaranteed by article ten.
