On the Wrong Track

Sometimes you hear say 'Oh, you can't
hurt the battery"
He forgets to add distilled water.
He steps long on his starter instead of cleaning
his spark plugs.
He puts in acid instead of having his battery
charged
He never has Hydrometer test made.
And when his battery suddenly quits he can't
realize that it has been gradually dying from neglect
and abuse
It's faacy to believe that you can neglect any
battery without suffering the consequences.
The Bone-Dry Willard Battery with Threaded
Rubber Insulation is made to give unusual service
and long life but it must be kept charged, and has
to be supplied with pure water

STILL FAITHFUL TO STUARTs7
Pretender Of that Line to Britain's
Throne ls Now Prince Rupert
Of Bavaria.

There was once to be found in Brit
ain little group Of romantic senti-
mentalists who remained faithful to
the Stuart line, and celebrated on jan
uary 30 kind of Jacobite feast day.
A writer in Living Age remembers
seeing postage stamps bearing the like
ness of the "pretender," who happened
to be a princess Of Bavaria. These
were attached to the envelope by the
side Of the official postage stamp, thus
constituting a source of annoyance to
the serious minded Victoria.
Since the death Of his mother, Maria
Theresa Of Bavaria, few weeks ago,
e1-Prince Rupert Of Bavaria Is now
the official Stuart pretender to the
throne Of Great Britain. The muse Of
history has ever had leaning toward
irony.

MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
NAL and Elaborate English Style
Of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that it had century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re-
view. Then such masters Of the lam
guage as Cobbe, Coleridge, DeQuincey
or Hazlitt were journalists as well as
poets or essayists, and their leading
articles lost nothing of effect on the
public from being literature.
The arrival Of the age Of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by a change, not for the better, in the
popular style Of speaking and writing.
"Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fneness Of expression"
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed in ths
language Of everyday speech. The
obligation Of COMPRISING conclusions
about important matters into 1000
words, or fewer, is death, in the end,
to style. The literary form favored is
in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion Of wearing ones clothing. It
Is free and easy and crammed with
linguistic atrocities. Plural subjects
are polygamously welded to singular
verbs, and Lindley Murray turns in his
grave on account Of the death Of gram
mar.
