Stolen Train Aids Victim to EscaDc

Stolen Train Aids Victim to Escape.
Never stumped for some means of
escaping from a tight place, William
Duncan, star and director of the
latest Vitgraph serial. Smashing
Barriers" which is being shown every
Wednesday and Thursday at the
Strand theater, springs new one on
his followers In the seventh episode
of the story when he evades an out
numbering force of his enemies and
borrows an engine and train OF cars
to do it.
For the whole so minutes con-
sumed in showing the episode, Dun
can (Dick Daring). together with
Edith Johnson bella Manners) face
one peril after the other. moking it
exceedingly interesting and startling
for the audience. After leaping from
a high cliff to rescue Miss johnson.

with her to the shore bordering the
lumber camp, where the action takes
place. Bullhead Bulger (Joe Ryan,
and his gang are right after them
and. in danger of falling into the
ruffians' power, Duncan holds up the
engineer of narrow gauge lumber
train, about to take on load at the
side of the lake.
The engineer, at the point of the
pistol, gives the train all the speed
IL can stand, and they pull away
from the dangerous spot and once

Question: What kind of acid shall
! use to fill my battery?-H. II.
Answer: 1t is not necessary to use
acid except when the solution has
been accidentally spilled. 1t should
then be replenished by a mar who
understands batteries.
Question: The meter on my dash
shows that the battery is being
charged. and it does not charge
D. X.
/ Answer: Possibly your meter
needle is stuck and the generator
does not give the current indicated,
or you take out more than you are
| putting in. Test the generator at diff
ferent speeds of the car and find out
it's relation to your total require
ments. At Is miles per hour the gen
Ierator should give an amount of
electric current in excess of that re-
lQuired for your lamps.
Question: Why don't my battery
take a charge?-L. r.
| Answer: This is difficult to state
without knowing more of the condi-
tions. Sometimes battery may have
the appearance of not taking the
charge when it has been run down to
a low condition In a case of this
kind ordinary charging acts very
slowly on the battery. 1t is some
times necessary to charge battery
for week. "a hours aday. in order
to get it back to healthy condition.
If your battery does not take a
charge, and the battery has not been
run down, it would be an indication
of broken or poor connection be-
tween the generator and the battery.
This can be tested with an ampere
meter in the generator circuit. This
instrument will show whether the
battery is being charged. Connect
the meter in series with the battery
and run the car at 10. Is and 25
miles per hour and note the amount
Of current going in. Compare this
with the amount of current the ma
chine first gave. A broken jar may
produce the same effect, but in this
case inspection and taking specific
gravity reading will show that one
cell is too low.

HERE'S ONE FELLOW
 WHO NEVER HEARD
 OF BARNEY OLDFIELD

His hair was long and his trousers were tucked into muddy boots. Plainly. he came from a locality more remote than the suburbs. But he drove his lit- tie car jauntily up to a store in San Jose. Cal, and demanded the two best rough-tread 30 by 31a-inch tires in the place.
 The salesman rolled out pair of Old fields, to which he gave strong personal recommendation.
 This is Barney Oldffelds own make. ' added the salesman as a clinching argu- ment. He designed 'em for his own cars, builds em in his own plant. and super vises the construction of every one of 'em''
 Who's Barney Oldfeld?" blandly in- quired the agriculturist.
 For a second the question seemed to fracture even the salesman's brazen calm. Then he grinned.
 Quit your kidding" he replied. This is a serious matter"
 But the customer persisted and the fact finally percolated that here was a sim cere seeked for truth who honestly need ed information about the master driver .
 Enthusiastically the salesman warmed to his work, telling of the veteran s career, his study of tires and the success of his designs. The farmer absorbed every word.
 Well" remarked the listener when the salesman had finished, T never heard tell of this man Oldfield before, but if anybody ought to know tires I guess he should. Gimme those two" And the deal was closed.

WORLD WAR GREAT AD FOR THE TRUCK
Many New Uses Found for 'Lorries" During Up
 heaval Abroad

The world war was the motor trucks greatest advertisement It proved their universal adaptation to any and every haulage and delivery situation.
 On the big wheat farms they pulled blows and cultivators through miles of open fields; in the cattle growing coun- try they transported live stock seventy five to 100 miles to stoczyards. In the mountainous states, where grey the air plane umber, they kept the delivery schedules. In numerous states they proved unusually successful in road building. At Uncle Sams different can tonments they were employed twenty four hours each day, delivering supplies for American soldiers. With thousands of miles of rural express routes tieing up the farms with the cities, they kept the home fires burning"
 Many of the railroads, through ne- cessity, having eliminated the short haul, employed them. In every city in the country they displaced horsedrawn
 work of three.
 In the transportation department of Americas s greatest industries on 100 per cent government work they eliminated transportation delays.
 A thousand and one new uses were
 put to them in every city, town and mu- nicipality in the country to eliminate transportation delays, relieve the rail-
 roads and form an endless chain con meeting the source of demand with the source of supply.
 Thus they met the unheard of demands which the war dictated. Built for peace full pursuits they proved 2aore than equal to wartime emergencies.
 These proven service possibilities will enable every industry and line of busi- ness to make good on it's peace-time programme in so far as transportation of produce, products, materials, equip ment and merchandise is concerned While the many uses to which trucks will not be put will be somewhat diff ferent from those of the past two years, the experiences gained will go long way toward solving the new transporta- ton problems which we must now face to help reconstruct the war-wasted coun-
 tries in Europe.
