KEEP BATTERY
PLATESCOVERED
AT ALL Times

IF battery is allowed to go for
any length of time without having the
plates fully covered with the electro
lyte (water and acid) its usefulness
will be impaired seriously, if it is not
entirely ruined" said Asa Pittman,
manager of the Americas Battery
Company, the local Vesta Battery
Service Station, on Jackson street.
The reason for this, according to
Mr.. Pittman, is the formation of sui
phate of lead on the plates when left
exposed to the aid. This sulphate of
lead is nOn-conductor of electricity
and acts as insulator to prevent the
flow of current.
If the acid is allowed to get low in
the battery so that only part of the
plate is overed the remainder soon
becomes coated so that when the bat
terry is filed, it does not function as
powerfully as before.
Where the coating is not to heavy
a long slow charge will dissolve it and
save the battery. A heavy rate of
charge wolld cahse overheating and
rhin the battery.
Some car owners cannot under
stand why it sometimes takes four or
five days to charge battery. Heavy
sulphation is the reason. The mo-
torist should not complain if it takes
longer than he expected to get the
battery in shape, for. the service man
'having to work just that much hard
er to save the battery.
Mr.. Pittman says the Vesta sta
ton is always ready to fill your bat
terry wies distilled water free of
charge, no matter what make it is.
This little attention will often save
needless expense and delay due to
injured batteries.

DAYLIGHT SAVING BENEFIT.

Because of the fact that the clocks OF this
country were moved forward one hour at
o clock Sunday morning, March 30 In compll-
ance with the daylight saving law, the United
States fuel administration has called attention
to the estimates made last October that one
million. two hundred and fifty thousand tons
of coal were saved during seven months last
year through the operation of this law.
The plan was adopted in the United States
after it's success had been demonstrated In
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Holland, Denmark. Sweden, Norway, Portugal
Australia and Iceland. In European countries
the period during which the clock is advanced
is in most cases shorter than the seven months
adopted as the United States plan, because
Europe is farther from the equator than tins
country, and early sunrise prevails during a
much smaller portion of the year.
In Great Britain the plan is operative only
curing four and a half months, while In France
the clocks are moved forward for period OF
only three and a half months.
Coal production in this country having been
at low ebb for the last five months, there are
fears of a severe shortage next winter, partlcu-
Iarlv if tn weather should be cold and stormy.
The economy which will be effected by the day
light saving law this year, therefore, may prove
to be direct advantage.

Marriage for Money, Minus
LoDe, Almost Sure Failure

| Fay Stevenson, in Los Angeles Ex-
press: OF course marriage is a con-
tract But it is well TO remember
that 1t is a contract of the HEART
and not of the POCKETBOOK. And
/ the girls who look upon marriage as
gateway, an entrance TO all the
worldly things. % life, arr very apt
to bump right up against stone
wall.
Strange to say, the Decay Sharps
of life, the girls who marry for
money or position, usually fail to
reach their desired goal Before
very long they find that marriage
has proved wall and usually a very
high one. Fate seems to run after
the girls who look upon marriage as
gateway to earthly blessings. AL
though they may attain a few of the
trinkets and gewgaws they craved,
the bluebird, or real happiness, never
seems to be within their reach. And
then sometimes they don't even get
the trinkets and the gewgaws!
How many girls have made love
less marriages because they were to
obtain wealth and shortly after mar
riage found their husbands with even
Tess imam the iltlle salary OF the cnap
they really loved? Sometimes the
man who has money loses it, you
know. Or, worse still, how many
girls have found that companionship
and intellectually do not always go
with money? Oh, the wealthy man
can prove quite as much of wall
to woman as the poor man!
Not Worth Considering.
In justice to-, the feminine gender
lit is only fair to say right here that
some men have also been guilty of
gateway marriages, But the man
who marries for money is hardly
worth considering, and every one
knows the truth of Brander Mat
thews' aphorism: Nobody works as
hard for his money as he Teller who
marries it"
Now many of the foreign girls
from t1ne families are forced to look
upon marriage as gateway to life.
! 1t is considered very indicate for a
young, unmarried woman over
there" to express her opinion about
love, men or matrimony, but mar
riage gives them untold freedom.

A DESTRUCTIVE FORCE.

The influence of the league of nations as a
destructive rather than productive agency is
forcefully presented by former Senator Root.
The new league, according to him, not only
abrogates all of the 200 treaties of arbitration
existing among the nations of the world, but 1T
puts the whole subject of arbitration back
where it was twenty-five years ago. Instead OF
perfecting and putting teeth into the system OF
arbitration provided by The Hague conven-
tons, it throws those conventions upon the
crap heap"
.sAll questions of rights continues Mr..
Root, care relegated to the Investigation and
recommendation Of political body to be de
termined as matters Of expediency. [ confess
/ can not see the Judgment Of three generations
of the wisest and best of American statesmen,
concurred in by the wisest and the best Of all
our allies, thus held for naught"
But it is to the preservation Of the Monroe
doctrine that Mr.. Root directs particular atten-
ton He asserts that to surrender that time
honored policy at this time would be purely
gratuitous, and would not contribute in the
slightest degree to the accomplishment Of the
objects of the league 1.-The difficulties, the
disturbing conditions, the dangers that threat
en- are all in the affairs Of Europe and the near
east The real reason for creating league of
nations is to deal with those difficulties and
dangers, not with American affairs. 1t
hardly seems probable that under these circum-
stances the United States should be penalized
for complying with the request of its friends in
Europe to join them in the preservation Of
peace primarily for their benefit and not for
ours by giving up our right to self-protection
when that is wholly unnecessary to accomplish
the object Of the agreement -
IN other words, as has been pointed out by
most Of the speakers against the league the
United States is asked to give up the instru-
ment that has protected us for nearly one hun
dred years and to accept in its place an ex-
permental league, which, admittedly, will per
nit Of the very things that the Monroe doctrine
guards against There is no ''balance of pow
err on this side of the water. The ''disturb-
ing conditions as Mr.. Root points out, are
all centered in the old world, and it is to pre-
vent their recurrence that the league is to be
formed. If the United States is to contribute
to that end there is absolutely no reason why
the peace of the new world should be leopard
lied by destroying the very policy that has in
sured it.

And that Is why. no doubt, so many
girls upon the other side make mar
riage "de CONVEYANCE" without much
thought of love.
But the average American girl
does not need marriage to give her
liberty. She is permitted to go to
the matinee, read the latest novel
and discourse upon any subject she
chooses. Therefore, since she is so
sophisticated, since she dwells in a
land of liberty and is allowed to trot
about unchaperoned, there is no ex-
cuse for her looking upon Mrs" as
a gateway. And as to money-she
can go out and make her own living
as well as her brother
For Real Love.
The American girl then can marry
for REAL LOVE, She can believe
that certain people were made for
each other and that "her own will
come to her" regardless of money or
position. And woe to the girl of the
present day who doesn't appreciate
these facts.
No couple can be happy unless love
exists on both sides. And no matter
what fate may have in store for
them, those who marry for love
never regret 1t. Anyway, they feel
as if it all belonged to them!'
Besides this sentimental view that
some people were made for each
other" there is very practical view
to this marrying "for money" If a
girl is born with the Becky Sharp
instincts and simply feels that she
couldn't possibly wed without some
worldly inducements, she frequently
makes a mistake by selecting a
wealthy man to give them to her.
Some of the stingiest old "tightwads'
are the men who have the most!
No one appreciates that "All is not
gold that glitters" better than the
girl who makes a loveless. gateway
marriage. II would be far wiser for
the little Becky Sharps to grab Cupid
by the wings and hold on to him
rather than the strings of some I'M
loved husbands purse. "A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush!"
and the girl who has found love
should sigh Il am content!" Surely a
honeymoon is far sweeter than a
honeymoon!
