CARE FOR STORAGE BATTERY
Because Of Comparatively Brief Life
1t Should Be Given Good Treat
ment by Owners.

After a storage battery is fifteen
months old the dealer considers it
worthless. The fact that the battery
has such comparatively brief life at
best, should lead owners to give II
careful treatment, so as to get maxi
mum service from it. Adding distilled
water to the cells to bring the fluid
up to the proper level, should be done
once a week in summer and twice 4
month in winter. But this Is not
enough; the gravity of the solution
may not be correct.
A hyd-ometer syringe test Is the only
sure method of determining the condi-
toin of the battery, and IL the cells
show below 1000 each, they require
recharghg. Once every two months
the battery should be taken to the
service station for charging, espe-
cially IL the user is a doctor or one
similarly occupied, whose car is start
ed and stopped many times each day.

Those who have kept informed on
the great problems confronting the
United States army In the pursuit of
war realize that the question of trans
portation is one of the most diff
ficult ones. 1t was only six years ago
that the quartermaster department rec
ogniZed the Importance of motor truck
transportation, and when the campaign
against Mexico was opened in 1916 the
desirabiity of limiting the number of
designs became evident.
The United States army bought its
first one and one-half-ton truck as late
as 1913, and by 1916 it had accumu-
lated experience with but a limited
number. In that year Col. G. b. Baker,
then chief of transportation in the
office of the quartermaster general, in
vited the Society of Automotive En-
gineers to send representatives to
Washington to confer with army Off
GERS and representatives of about fifty
truck builders, TO cooperate In the pre-
pairing of specifications for standard
ton trucks. This conference was held
May s, 1916. and the specifications
were issued In June, 1916. On these
plans trucks were hurriedly purchased
for use against Francisco Villa. This
gave the army the first good chance
to test the usefulness of motor trans
portation under trying conditions as
they existed on the Mexican border.
Designed Standard Truck.
Shortly after declaration of war on
Germany Col. Bakers staff entertained
hopes of having completely stand
ardized military truck. They pro-
ceeded to have new drawings and
specifications made, including all the
suggestions and experiences recorded
to that date. A number of members
of the S. A. Il. were asked to assist in
the design of the new truck and they

commenced work I'M Washington on
Aug. l. By Oct. l, 1917, all details
and designs were completed, and ten
days later one sample war truck each
of class A and b were ready for test
ing. One truck was driven overland
to Washington and the other had to
cross the Allegheny mountains. On
Oct. 10 the trucks, after successful
trips, were presented to Secretary
Baker and driven to the White House,
where they were examined by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Big Orders Are Placed.
The general staff and Secretary
Baker at once authorized the produc-
ton of 10000 class b trucks, and to
execute this great task the military
truck production section of the trans
portation division of the quartermas-
ter's corps was organized, composed
of civilians only. The work was dis
tributed among seventeen truck
builders, each to make 500 to 1000
trucks. The first five trucks were
available January 10, 1918. BY April,
1918, production was proceeding so
satisfactorily that the general staff
authorized the purchase Of 5000 more
trucks, and in August, 1918, an addi-
tional $4,000 were authorized, but
the armistice was signed before the
last order was far advanced.
Class 8 Trucks Lead.
It has, however, been clearly dem.
onstrated that the class B trucks are
not equaled in performance by any
other type of truck used overseas.
The experience acquired by the auto
motive engineers will be Immediately
available in their peace-time occu-
pations, and the motor transport
corps acknowledge that the success
full solution of the motor truck prob
lens is in large measure due to the
cooperation of the Society of Auto
motive Engineers.

In Yukon territory, where remote COM

of limited medical and nursing sup
plies. To meet the emergency, Indian
runners with dog teams were dis
patched from Dawson with anti
influenza serum and sent across the
snow as far north as Fort Mcpherson,
near the mouth of the Mackenzie river,
making the round trip of 1000 miles
in little less than two months, which
is fair performance in mid-winter.
The journey included crossing the
Rocky mountains.
