Head of Local Battery Serv-
ice Says Inattention to De-
tails Is Costly.

Putting a car on dead storage Is
often a perfunctory matter" says Mrs.
W. J. Stewart. superintendent of
service for the Washington Battery
Company. Frequently the machine
is used up to the last moment and
the chauffeur merely given instruc-
tions to place it on dead storage.
Anxious to get through his work in
hurry, he does not give the car the
before storing. He drives to the
garage and leaves the machine with
the order to place it on dead storage.
So the car is turned over to the ware
houseman and put away as deliv-
cred. In one, three or six months the
car is taken out and found decidedly

little attention had been given the
car before it was stored much annoy

been saved.
Have you a car on dead storage

what precautions have you taken to
keep your car in f1rst-ciass shape?
How many OF the following important
features have had the attention of
yourself or your chauffeur?
Preservation of Batteries.
"The battery-Instructio should
be given that the ~car will not be
used for - months, and that mean
while the battery should receive care.
Methods of preserving batteries diff
fer with the length of the storage
period. If longer than one month,
the battery should be given a fresh
ening charge, and If it has had hard
usage the necessary repairs should
be made. If the car is to be stored
for a longer period, up to six months.
the battery department of the storage
company is generally asked to pro-
vide the proper care. If longer than
six months, the battery should be
given a SOW and full charge, then
emptied and either filled with dis
titled water. or left empty. with the
ports sealed. Another method would
be to have the battery taken apart
and the elements cleaned. dried and
laid aside to await orders for assem-
bly,. If this reasonable care is given
to your battery when placed in
storage it will be ready for service

scrubbed with brush or with hot
water. No varnish will withstand
the chemical action of ammonia or
any kind of lye soap. nor. any of the
common wash fluids or powders.
The varnish of an automobile will
not stand having dust or mud rubbed
off. nor will it endure the grits of
dust and mud driven into it by the
war water blast from a high pressure
lose to which it is often subjected.
Use water between 40 and so de-
srees with a soft, bleached wool

soap unless it be pure CASTLE or a
neutral linseed oil soap. Mud. wet or
dry, should be removed with flowing
or flowing water from a hose with a
little pressure-never with a nozzle.
Dry off with al clean. soft chamois.
Do not rub the finish or use hand
pressure more than sufficient to dry
off the water. The water evaporates s
and leaves the finish in good condi-
ton.

ously affected by sudden extreme of

quent Inspection.

Frequent inspection of brakes on
automobiles is absolutely necessary
If the driver hopes to avoid acci-
dents. said NJ. T. Pollock. general
manager of the oldsmobile Sales
Company. yesterday, when discussing
the automobile question. Mr.. Pollock
submitted the following views:
THE large number of orders ard
inquiries which We are receiving
daily and which we have received
since December 1. particularly from
manufacturers, indicate very ma
terial increase in the number of cars
which will be used during the COM
ing year.
This great increase in the use of
our highways will bring with it add
ed danger, not only to thSautonobile
owner, but to the pedestrian. Every
few days there appears in the daily
press criticism or a suggestion from
the judge of some court to the effect
that legislative bodies must restrict
the use of cars and must make our
highways safe

For Syst matte Inspection.

"One of the elements which will con-
tribute more toward the safety of the
automobile in use than almost any
thing else that can be done wou- d be
a careful and systematic inspection
and care of the brakes. Few owners
realize that they have a brake on
their car until the moment of danger.
and then, perhaps, the brake does not
respond.
'If the car owner would become
familiar with. his own brakes. and
would see to it that they are prop
erly adjusted and properly lined,
many automobile accidents would
never occur. 1t may be of interest
if 1 quote from a pamphlet~which this
company is distributing, entitled "A

follows.

Car Should Be lacked Up.


Tires and tubes-The car should
be lacked up. the rims removed from
the wheels and the tires from the
rims. The rust should be scraped
from the rims and the rims graphiteo
or given coat of paint. The tires
should then be remounted. inflated to
about thirty pounds and placed on
the wheels. Spare tubes should be
removed from their cases, partially
inflated and placed in the tonneau. or
elsewhere. lying fiat and out Of the
light. Rubber quickly deteriorates
with improper handling and neglect.
but your tires and tubes will be found
alive and ready for use if you follow
this course.
The upholstery-On a touring car
the top should be extended with just
enough tension to bring it up taut
The curtains should be hung in place
and allowed to drop to full length, so
that the creases in the material and
the rolls in the celluloid may natural
ly straighten out. The dust envelope
should be cleaned and folded.
Evening star., 1919-03-23
Petroleum on Exposed Parts.

Mechanical parts-The exposed steel
and plated parts should be coated with
petroleum to protect them from rust
and tarnish. The radiator should be
drained and the cylinder jackets emp-
tiled of water. The gasoline tank
should be emptied and the oil should
be removed from the motor base. The
head Of each piston should be flooded
with oil. which being left on the top
Of the piston will gradually find its
way down along the wallis, past the
rings. This will keep the pistons from
seizing in the cylinders.
"A complete list should be made of
the tools and accessories on the car
so that it will be known what items
must be replaced before the car is put
into service again.
All the necessary mechanical work
should have attention before the car
is put on dead storage. Arrange
ments should also be made for paint
ing and upholstery"

First Gun of Summer Baseball Fired by Local Fans Early
 This Week

Last Monday evening there was a large aggregation of baseball play CTS and fans out on the Douglas baseball grounds They were there to work and after a supply Of rakcs. shoycls and whcelbarrows had been passed around Che dirt began to fly in earnest.
 The grounds had been quite badly treated during Che winter m sev- eral places the water had run over them. making deep ditches and cuts. These places were an filled in with soil and the soil tampcd. For the hauling of the soil, Fred Gallwas' delivery wagon and horse were used Co good advantage and the work was done with @ great deal more speed than would have been possible had they not been donated.
 The grounds were raked and lev- cled on and the rubbish carted away. At this work several of the ball players showed the results Of early training and the work was done i'm a suappy and efficient manner.
 After tho soil that was put in Che holes has settled a surfacing of sand will be placed over it and then the ball grounds will bo In as good shape as they have been for a mum bor of years.
