WEATHER AFFECTS
STORAGE BATTERIES
Much Less Efficiency Shown in
Cold Season Than Under
Warm Conditions
DIFFICULT TO START

"Automobile storage batteries show
less efficiency in cold weather than in
warm weather. asserts X. A. Harp
sales manager OF the Auto Equipment
and Service Co.
The winter months, with their in
creased hours of darkness, take an extra
toll In electrical energy from every stor
age battery. Even IL a battery has
stood up we'll during the summer sea =
son the surplus energy demanded by
winter may cause it to fail by becoming
prematurely discharged.
"The engine is always more difficult
to start in cold weather because the
gasoline will not vaporize quickly and
due to stiffness of the oil in the bearings
aud around the pistons. This engine
resistance demands a further increase
in the output of the generator and CON
sequently a more urgent call upon the
battery to keep up the electrical sup
ply:
''These conditions should be antici-
pated by the motorist and preparations
for the winter months made accordingly.
If the battery. after a successful sum
ner, does not indicate a normal test its
faults should be looked after at once
before IL is subjected to the crucial test
OF wiater.
'Of course, nowadays very few cars
are put away for the winter. When this
is necessary, however, the. battery
should be dry stored to eliminate de-
terioration. This is done by disassem.
bling the battery entirely. replacing all
worn parts and reassembling without
electrolyte. The battery is then her
metically sealed to prevent air. attack
ing the plates. 1t is only necessary
with n battery so prepared to fill with
new electrolyte in the spring and give a
freshening charge. exactly as new bat
teries are placed in service. The re-
guilt is dependab'e battery rather than
an unknown quantity"

Behold! Paper Hats.

bonds are happy. Their wives have

being designed, with, according to
those who know women's hats, a
great degree Of success. The only
difficulty that confronts the move
ment is the shortage OF crepe paper,
with which to replace the hats as
they get rained on or wear out.

Planning For More Leisure
Suggestions for
MORE REST AND PLAY
By Loretto G. Lynch.

r ACH year people are finding out
that it is good for them to
- have extra leisure time. And
every housewife should now en-
deavor to plan to have more leisure
than ever before. Yet it Is a puzzle
to many women as to how they are
to have leisure when their house
keeping takes till midnight every
night, winter or summer.
Yet it can be done. And the wom-
an who can sit down and really rest
for an hour or two that she can
really call her very own Is going to
be happier and healthier little
woman when the cooler days return.
The luncheon cloths of Japanese
toweling are inexpensive and are
laundered with far greater ease
than the plain white linen cloths
you may have been using. Paper
napkins save work. Large plates
that accommodate a whole meal are
ideal labor-savers, and their diVi-
sions make it possible to serve neat
ly with a minimum Of dishwashing.
TIME-SAvERS.
The fireless cooker is invaluable
TO the woman who would save her
self work. 1t is almost impossible
to give any model meals for the
requirements of each family, for
occupation and location differ. But
generally speaking, there may be
one hot meal and one cold meal
outside of breakfast each day BY
writing out your tentative plan you
may be able to cook enough pota-
toes on Monday to provide for the
principal meal on Monday and to
give enough left-overs for potato
salad for the other meal on Monday
and still enough to make cream po-
tatoes on Tuesday. For it requires
no more fuel and very little more
labor to cook twenty potatoes in

Sir Walter Scott Not
the Author

All the reference books and a long
tradition assign to Sir Walter Scott
the authorship of the lines:
"One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name"
SO far as was known they were
first used by Scott in the heading of
chapter of "Old Mortality" He
did not say they were his. But so
many of the verses which he did
prefix to chapters of his novelJ--
often attributing them to "Anon.H
were written by him, seemingly on
the theory that It was easier for
him to invent than to quote OF copy,
that the familiar quotation men
toned has all these years passed for
his.
Now, however, a fellow Scotsman,
Mr.. James Rankin, of Galasheils,
has unearthed the original. Accord
ing to letter in the Literary Sup
plement of the London Times. he
discovered the quotation-along
with thirteen others wholly negligi-
ble-in an Edinsburgh weekly
paper. the Bee, OF 1871. They were
written by an unknown Major Nor
daunt, and were printed twenty -four
years before Scott helped himself to
one of them.

Important, but illustrates the way
