TEMPERATURES WHICH

Through a typographical error H.

Several storage battery concerns
were consulted by The Star for the
benefit of the motorists.
The Exide battery people said that
when fully charged a battery will
freeze at 80 degrees below zero; III DIS :
charged, at degrees above zero; III
in good running condition there is no
danger of freezing.
At the willard storage battery
station a more detailed statement was
given. In general terms. If fully
charged il will freeze at so degrees
below: if discharged. at 20 DEGREES
above and IL threefourths discharged
at about zero. If In good running con
dition il would have to be very Sc
verely cold before the battery would
freeze.

The agreement of republican leaders
to accept the new Knox joint reso-

indicate definite abandonment of
any attempt to have Congress declare
peace by concurrent resolution
without the Presidents signature.
MANY members of both Senate and
House have held that such a course
! would be unconstitutional. and the
effort faced a legal contest which

Union by the Supreme Court.
President Wilson declared some

SHOW PROGRESS IN FIGHT
TO REDUCE LIVING COST

The first conference since the coal
strike began of cabinet members and
other officials who have been assist
ing Attorney General Palmer in the
fight on the cost of living was held
yesterday. H. F. Figg, special assist
ant to Mr.. Palmer, gave reports
which were said to show continued
progress in keeping down prices.
Tine reports were especially graft
flying" Mr.. Palmer said, taking into
consideration the fact that when we
began our campaign last summer we
were at the high point of supply and
the low point IF demand, while now
we are at the low point of supply
and the peak of demand A graphic
representation of living costs would
show a very satisfactory curve of
price ranges"
Mr.. Palmer said he could not pre-
dict the immediate effect on prices
of the settlement of the antitrust
action against the packers.
The big effect of the agreed de-
cree" he said. sis to open the chan
nels of business freely to all men
without fear of domination by these
interests"
The court in which the agreed de-
cree will be entered will not be an
nounced until the decree is filed, which
will be after the holidays.
