STORAGE BATTERY |S SOUL IF ALL
 A|RPLA|VE MOTORS

When a Liberty motor is giving it's utmost to push forward a Liberty plane, the result to the ear at least, is a noise which would hardly be well come in the reading room of a public library, or under your window when you want to sleep.
 Such is the voice of gasoline raised in protest against being introduced to the little spark of electricity which jumps across the spark plugs 165 times every second; but the protest is in vain for the juice" keeps coming;- 165 times each second. 9900 sparks per minute, 594, ,000 times in an hour, coming from a little innocent looking box full of lead and acid and water and rubber, slowed away in the fuaei- age. out of sight but never out of the mind of the man whose life depends upon il
 The storage battery is the soul of the Liberty motor As gasoline is its food, steel and aluminium it's clothing. so is electricity it's spark of life. Without that spark it is an inert mass; with it the Liberty motor is 4 source of magnificent power.
 The Willard Storage Battery com pany in Cleveland had for years been making storage batteries for starting lighting and ignition on automobiles. When Uncle Sam decided he would take no more nonsense" from the kaiser, the Willard organization was asked to design a storage battery for ignition in an aircraft motor.
 The first difficulties faced were the necessary limitations on size an6 weight, as Uncle Sam's specifications called for a battery of a certain ca pacity weighing not more than ter pounds. Any motorist who has tried C | lift his storage battery, knows whal | it weighs Lead,-the very nam' sounds heavy-makes up most of ths
 storage battery, and ten pounds O
 lead is not very much. The Willard | engineers set to work and designed { | battery of the proper capacity weigh ing but ten pounds and two ounces

which was satisfactory to the govern ment designers.
 But size and weight were not the only obstacles. An automobile prop erly driven stays on it's wheels and there is no danger of the acid contents of the battery spilling out. But a Liberty plane must operate just as well head over heels" as any other way. and the Willard engineers found that they must design a battery which, while open at the top. did not spill its contents when inverted. This sounds rather difficult.-and it was.-but it was done just the same. Within ten days from the receipt of the govern ments specifications. the Willard en- gineers had designed and perfected a battery which met the government s needs as to capacity. size, weight, and this battery operated upside down. This battery was adopted and never since has t-been changed in any de- tail
 Such is the inside story of the igni- tion on the Liberty airplane motor. Storage batteries have for years been recognized as the most efficient and most reliable means of providing lS HuliOl lOI SdSOitiit iHotOiSi uut otHcl and less advantageous forms of igiii- tion had to be used until American inventive genius was brought to bear on modern war problems.
 The inventions of war are being rapidly turned to peace use. We are breaking our swords into plowshares and the same little Willard battery which gave life to the Liberty aircraft 1 nishing the 9900 sparks per minute

miles in second gear through sand that could be negotiated no other way-it was expected that considerable carbon would be formed in the motor. This expectancy was augmented by the fact that excessive fabrication was the rule. Yet, when the motor was torn down and all carbon scraped it was found that just 2A ounces had collected. This is in the face of more driving than the average motorist would do in an en- tire season and under conditions that usually. would never be attempted by the ordinary car owner.
 Because of the extremely heavy con dition of about one third of the entire mileage when the car was ground through roads that it seemed no nle-

ehanical device could withstand, rerr axle trouble was tospe expected. Not once was it necessary to give thought or attention to this feature. It with stood without complaint all that hu- man endurance could throw upon it.
 And when, at the conclusion of the tour the car was driven over the con c1ete road from Milwaukee to the fac tory in Racine, the motor ran as smoothly and as quietly as during the first 1000 miles of the tour; the rear axle was as conspicuous by it's utter silence. New> tires had replaced all but one of those with which the tour was started and the car struck a pace of 67 miles per hour without sensible strain or undue effort.

 On the surface there appears to be no relation between the two subjects, but a moments reflection will convince anyone that, so far as Birmingham is concerned, there is an intimate relation, and that real ly the success of water transportation to a large extent depends upon the construc- tion of permanent hard road between Birmingham and the Warrior river.
 Alabama is just awakening to the i'm portance of ocean shipping and it is hardly doubted that when the legislature meets in July legislation will be enacted that will definitely establish Mobile as one of the important ports of the United States.
 The inspection of the Mobile harbor last Tuesday by the state harbor board, mem bers of the legislature, state officials and business men of the leading cities of the state after an inspection of the vest i'm provements at the New Orleans harbor, was timely and beyond question will bear fruit in the way of favorable legislation , for the Mobile harbor.
 The government has deepened the chan nel of the Warrior river and established barge and boat transportation thereon be- tween the Birmingham district and Mobile.
 The nearest point on the Warrior river to Birmingham is little over twenty miles away. Atpresent there is no way of reach ing the river at that point except by pri- vate conveyance over dirt roads that are practically impossible great part of the year for heavy trucks, or even lighter horse-drawn vehicles.
 Two lines of railway, it is true, touch the river at other points, but under present regulations there is no interchange of freight on through rate basis. Hence, the river is of no present material advan- tage to Birmingham.
 Plans have been drawn for a highway to be built between Birmingham and the riv- CT at what is considered to be the vantage point so far as industrial and commercial Birmingham is concerned. Following the peak Of ridge the greater part of the dis tance the construction problem is reduced to the minimum and lowlands and marshes are avoided except for a very short dis tance.
 This route, it is understood, has been surveyed and the proposition of building it will probably be put up to the county board of devenue at an early date.
 With transportation facilities between Birmingham and the river, the new equip ment which is to be installed by September l, Birmingham merchants will be able to ship or receive goods by the all-water route at a saving of about 20 per cent in the mat ter of freight charges.
 A recent survey made by the Warrior river development committee discloses that the tonnage of general merchandise handled by Birmingham wholesale mer- chants and jobbers and milland mine SUD- ply dealers is equal to something like 2OOO freight carloads a year
