CERTAIN STANDARD
 SHOULD BE HELD BY
 EVERY BATTERY MAN

Every storage battery service station man should have certain standard to go by, especially in the examination of battery plates" declares Lee Higdon USE service station representative for this section. He says:
 The work of the service station man should be divided into a number of defi- mite steps and he should make it rule to follow these steps implicitly The man who has a different method for every battery will never be a success. He had better go into some other busi- ness.
 In the preliminary examination of plates it would be well to determine first whether they can be used again, or must be discarded. If discarded the positive and negative groups should be cut off and new groups, preferably machine pasted plates, burned on the plate strap.
 If only some of the plates are to be discarded the battery should be given a preliminary charge before the work of animation proceeds. Fully charged plates are in better condition for han ding. In fact it should be an unalter- able rule that the whole battery should be charged even though one cell Is in bac condition

 Many tentative entries have been made, but the response in general from the motor truck industry as a whsln has not been as spontaneous as was egpected. In view of the great good which the indus try will receive from this contest and in view of the worldwide publtrty which has been given to the contest, it is be- leved that failure of the napufactur- CTS to enter the contest will he tanta- mount to an admission on tHeir part that they do not feel their product j;. general up to this real and convincing test.
 It has been contended that motor trucks do not need such test, but in the great middle western districts this is held to be, by residents, and that includes many farmers, hardly true. The farmers want to know that the trucks with pneu- niatic tire equipment will fill the bill, and will provide high-class transporta- tion under any and all circumstances for their products to and from market. It is believed that, when the manurae- trrers realizeNthis. the entry list will be added to materially

CAR LACK
 HTS AUTO TWICE
Scarcity of Rail Equipment Hampers Production of
 Aut0mOtive Plants

For quite some time now, American au- tomotive7 manufacturers have been ascrib- ing their inability to speed up production to scarcity of materials, but a new slant on the situation was presented last week by one of the country's leaders in the steel industry.
 Steel operations throughout the na- tion's steel producing area for the first time since the so-called steel strike are arproNimating what we used to term nor nal but this favorable tendency does not seem to be helping the motor vehl- cle makers a great deal,' he said.
 The difficulty used to be to get the mills to turn out the steel; now it is to get the railroads to transport it to the factories. So in that way it is still the familiar scarcity of material that is cur taillng the output of passenger cars and motor trucks"
 All of which leads to the conclusion that the railroad freight car situation IS acute and getting Shall we say?) acuter.' Railway officials frankly admit that there is shortage of not less than 245, ,OO0 freight Cars. Of these. probably a ma jarity are cars used in transporting steel.
 One railway traffic manager said last week that of the 4,000 freight ctrs owned by his railroad and built for hauling au- tomobiles, but 300 are now on that rail- roads lines These cars are probably blocking freight yards while motor cars are being driven overland to dealers within radius of approximatelys6O 600 miles and in instances even farther
 Here is the way one of the city's largest motor truck distributors sums up the sit. uation
 Shippers are told the railroads have no freight cars. The natural solution of this problem is to build more cars. Bu, the car builders say they cannot build more cars unless they get the steel. and there are no cars available for hauling the steel to them. Moral ship by truck.
 Not that the truck is too delicate for this heavy work bulletin from the factory of the Rec Motor Company, Lan- sing, Mich, tells how Rec "speedwa gons' recently covered the $50 miles from Mil vaukee, Wis. to the Rec plant by way of Chicago through raging snowstorm, each hauling ton of steel frame mems bers.
 Automobile factories are not standina still however. Practically all are ex- banding their facilities in anticipation of better production conditions and a great CT output later. Cable dispatches last week declared Henry Ford and a syndi- cate of American capitalists had offered around $24,000000 for the Great Slough Motor works, built by the British govern ment during the war At least two other big figures in the American automobile industry are believed to have acquired holdings in British motor enterprises
 An interesting sidelight on the railroad freight car situation as ii affects the au- tomobile industry is the recommendation of the National Automobile Chamber O Commerce that all freight cars now being
