LABOR OFFICER
ON STATE TOUR
Art C. Bridge Checks Up COndi-
tons Here With Reference
to Placing Ex-SOIdiers-

Investigation Of the placing OF
returned soldiers and sailors at
work was made in Rock Island to-
day by Art c. Bridge of Spring
field. secretary TO Barney Cohen,
director of labor of Illinois.
Mr.. Bridge was in consultation
with Fred ". RinCk, suPerintend-
ent OF the Illinois free employment
Office, during the day and checked
over the local conditions with ref
erence TO locating the unemployed
eX-sOldiers and sailors in suitable
positions.
No little trouble is being exper
fenced here in finding work for all
of the former service men that ap-
ply, it is said, and the situation is
largely due to the lack OF coopera-
ton on the part of the employers.
All vacancies existing which
could be filled by returned lads are
not being reported with sufficient
prOmptness. those of the employ
ment office say.
The entire state is to be covered
by Mr. Bridge. Every employment
officer under the supervision of the

School Children of Rock Island
County Give Freely to Red
Cross Treasury.

School children, members Of the
junior Red Cross organization Of
the Rock Island Red Cross chapter,
voluntarily pledged $SO8.S2 to their

by f. c. Fisher. city superintendent
Of schools.
The fund is used for various pur-
poses by the junior body, such as
paying the expenses for the adop-
ton of French war orphans, Red
Cross activities, etc.
The report shows the splendid
response of the school children liv-
ing in the county, who are under
the jurisdiction of the Rock Island
chapter. The children in the cities
of Moline, East Moline and Silvis
and Hampton townships are gov
erned by the Moline Red Cross

While the report issued by Mr..
Fisher is not complete, the record
is a commendable one, inasmuch as
it represents the efforts of the chill
dren, none of whom has as yet

HELPFUL HINTS.


Never add acid to a storage
battery unless you have been
advised TO do 50 by an expert
enced battery man. II the soIu-
ton is weak IL means that the
acid has entered the plates and
the battery needs rechargins.
Adding acid will sulphate the
battery and ruin 1t.
The only reason for adding
acid is when II has been spilled
or has leaked out. IL you know
the acid has been spilled you
may put in some OF the same
OF the same strength, but this Is
not advisable. Fill up the cells
with distilled water and take the
battery 10 a service station.
Keep a careful watch on the
strength OF the electrolyte to
prevent freezing. 1900 or
1,275 IL a safe figure, as II can
not freeze a few degrees below
the freezing point or water, as
the electrolyte Is but little
stronger than pure water.
A frequent trouble is cor
rosion OF the battery terminals,
due to acid climbing up the post
and attacking it. This will soon
stop the current from flowing,
so il must be cleaned off and the
terminals covered with cup
grease.
A slow leak from the battery
is a serious trouble that cannot
be remedied except by the sub
stitution of a new jar. If such
leak is noticed do not try 10
repair. as il is usually hopeless.

Society is one Of the best assets Of

1t has for years been an effective or
