Ever Kick a Battery to Pieces?

Of course you wouldn't do it Intentionally.
No good driver would.
But a lot of experienced drivers of trucks
and passenger cars have kicked their bat
teries to pieces without even knowing it by
banging on the starting button when the
motor didn't take hold at once.
Perhaps the trouble was just thick oil.
Maybe water had accumulated in the
carburetor
Possibly connection had worked loose.
Butwhateverit it was the battery had to suffer.
Iou can get far longer life from your battery, and
incidentally from your whole car if you'll always be
where the trouble is and correct it just
as you locate it.

DERELICT HUSBANDS

A large percentage of the cases
which are brought before Police Court
OF this cIhy are of men charged
with failing to support their wives
In some instances it is shown that
the, accused have deserted their life
partners and removed to other places.
The court invariably attempts to
reconcile the parties. and when theT
give assurance that they will live
together in future and that the hus-
barld will provide for the wife the
case is dismissed or continued in or
der to see whether or not the party
at fault will do his part.
In some cases the parties heed the
warning and no farther '"jars" are
reported. In other instances, how
ever, advantage is taken of the len
iency shown, and the husbands go
on from bad to worse.
On Monday a young man was ar
raigned at the instance OF MS young
wife on the charge of desertion and
non-support. He had married a
young woman last September. and
subsequently left his wife in this
city TO shift fer herself, He was
located in a town over hundred
miles from Alexandria and brought
back. The wife in her testimony
alleged her husband had virtually
contributed nothing toward her sup
port SINCE last March, and, TO her
additional distress. had left the city.
The accused wad held for the ae-
ton of the grand jury, and it was
announced that the more fragrant:
cases in future will be disposed OF
in the same manner.
