sTORlGE BATTERY
IS M|sN0MER;; AND !.
It isn't CHARGED
British More Nearly Correct in
Calling it Accumulator-
Some Electrical Facts Not
Known by Average Motorist.

There is no such thing as a storage
battery. Most people think of the So
called storage battery as vessel into
which q certain amount of 'juice" is
p.imped in charging and which stores
II until needed, when it is allowed to
ttickle out. But the storage battery
stores nothing. 1t is chemical bat
terry just as much as a wet battery or
dry cell, writes Jock Hiscock, of Phil
adelphia.
We may poke all the fun We wish at
John Bull for his quaint nomenclature
such as 'lumb irons" for Spring horns,
sgudgeon pins for wrist pins and
petrol lorry" for motor truck. but
when he speaks of his "accumulator"
We must admit that he has better
term than we, for the "accumulator" of
Cderrie England is the storage battery
OF the U. S. A. minus camouflage.
The writer believes that as soon as
motorists begin to appreciate the in
adequacy of the storage battery to
properly take care of ignition require
ments, the sooner they will come to
dependable ignition-the magnetic, and
more specifically the Splitdorf Aero
type magnetic.
HOW IT AccUMULATEs
Tho storage battery Is q simple de-
vice by which the chemical action be-
tween metals and acid is made to pro-
duce, or to Accumulate" an electric
current 1t consists Of alternative pos
tive and negative plates, the former,
when charged composed Of peroxide of
lead and the latter of spongy lead.
These are immersed in a bath of cleo
frolyte of sulphuric acid diluted with
distilled water. When the positive and
Eegative plates are connected on oppo-
site ends Of . circuit, the .electrolyte
sets up chemical action between the
plates by which current is generated.
In the process the lead peroxide of the
positive plate is transferred gradually
To the negative plates. covering them
with a sort of scum. When this scum
completely covers the negative plate,
the battery IL discharged.
In charging, an electric current IL
forced through the circuit backwards.
This reverses the chemical process, So
that the scum on the negative plates
Is returned to the positive plates and
restored to its former chemical condi-
ton. The charging current, therefore
is used up In the process. Strictly

NEW YORK TO TAKE
IMMEDIATE ACTION
FOR BETTER ROADS
When Present Plans Completed
States Highway System win
surpass Any in Country Bill
for $100,000,000 Bonds.

The inadequacy Of the railroads to
carry the ever-increasing volume of
freight piled upon them, and the rapid
strides being made in the rural motor
express movement are two of the fac
tors which call for immediate action
in New York state for the rebuilding
of the present highway system with
permanent roads. and the completion
of the system by the building of con-
Meeting links wherever they are need
ed. Automobile manufacturers, in
touch as they are most closely with
traffic conditions have no hesitancy
in expressing the opinion that the in
crease in automobile trucks within the
next five years will be so great that
not only present highways, but city
streets as we'll will be inadequate to
carry the load. In congress there are
numbers of bills dealing with the build
ing Of roads by means of federal aid
funds. But for every dollar of federal
aid money allotted to any state, the
state itself must raise another dollar.
When New York state passes bond
issue for $100,000,000 for improved,
permanent highways-and an effort
will be made to get such a bill through
the legislature at the coming session
federal aid funds in like amount will
become available, and that money will
be welcomed by the people of the state
for funds for roads.
ROADS ENVY OF WORLD.
That money will complete the pres
emit New York state road sytem, with
highways built Of durable materials,
which will last anywhere from rs
to SO years under the heaviest loads,
and with little cost of upkeep. And
when the system is completed, New
York will have a road system which
will be the envy of the world.
| New York is not the only state
where a similar move is under way,
| but New York is so situated that 1t
| should be able to put this s100.000,00O
fund across and get it's roads web
