How to Treat q Storage Battery

A good many car owners have COM
mented on the way a storage battery
stays on the job right up to the last
minute. Endurance seems to be
one Of their strong points.
Every once in a while a battery
is brought in because the owner
found it suddenly dead on his hands,"
said c. Post. Willard Service Station
dealer.
Most of these failures are due to
plain ordinary neglect and we always
explain to the owner that the battery
had been slowly wearing out for a
long time through undercharge or
overwork, lack of water or some
other cause of battery premature
death.
ut is folly to expect that any bat
terry is going to last forever. but
there is plenty Of proof to show that
the right kind OF care will extend it's
life for a long time.
Always put in water regularly. and

Mary MacIaren at Strand.

Persons who argue that a man or
woman is either all good or all bad.
that deceit can never, under any cir
cumstanccs result in good, and that
white lie" must never be resorted
to, even to prevent heartache and
despair, are advised to see 1.-THE
Forged Bride" to be shown at the
Strand Theatre next Wednesday and
Thursday, with Mary MacLaren play
ing the stellar role.
'The Forged Bride" is Universal
production, directed by Douglas Ge-
rard. Among the players are Barney
Sherry. Thomas Jefferson. Harold
Miller. Dagmar Godowsky and Doro-
thy Hagan.
Based or powerful story by ]. G.
, Hawks, the picture is gripping from
start to finish. Miss MacLaren has
the role Of Peggy Reynolds, the
charming daughter of a skillful
forgerer. When she learns of her
fathers calling she urges him to go
straight.
The lure of the game is too strong
and he is apprehended while passing
a bogus check. When he is sent to
prison. Peggy becomes a soda foun-
tain girl at a beach resort, and there
attracts the attention of Dick Van
CORTLAND, son of wealth and posi-
ton.
Dick uses football tactics in making
love to the girl, rushes her off her feet
and marries her in spite Of her pro-
tests. Peggy tries to conceal her past
but Clara Ramirez a rival for Dicks
affection, unearths the secret.
How old Bill Reynolds does the best
job of forgery in his entire career, to
establish Peggy's eligibility to the
best circles, furnishes material for
the powerful situations which bring
the story to it's surprising climax.

PREP ARE FOR END
Father E'innerty breaches Sermon On
'Iseath" At The Catholic Church
Last Night.

Fa her Finnerty spoke eloquently on
the sub ,ect Death" at the Catholic
Chul ch last night. Remember thy last
end and thou shalt never SIM" "Those
whose lives are ever guided by this
thou ght,' said Father .Einnerty, "need
have no fear Of death: They use the
means given US by the Master to pre-
pare themselves to meet1a<lr God and
render to Him, the vigorous account
which all will have to give. Those
given to pleasure, to the worship of
money, to chambering in impurities,
to an irreligious bred, ungodly life,
would forget the very thought of
death. Better had they, while time is
left, make good use Of it, not for
earthly purpose, but for that of the
hereafter. For, "What doeth it profit
a man to gain the whole world, but
lose his own soul?"
Happy indeed is the man or wo-
man ever ready for the great, the all
important, the final moment of life,
with the words of the scripture on
their lips, "O' death where is thy
sting?"
Tonight at 7:3O o'clock Father Fin
nerty will speak on prayer"

ferences for the exchange of val
liable information-for example about
a dozen agencies were concerned about
oils, fats and wakes, and an interde-
partmental committee was organized.
Much the same sort of thing is now
contemplated with regard to the fed
eral service as a whole. It is to be
more closely coordinated, but this
must be done only after very careful
study so as not to destroy or impair
any agency that has been develop
ing through the years. The new Sec
retary of Agriculture, E. T. Mere
dith, stressed in an address to merch
ants in New York the other day that
it is vicious advertising to complain
against inefficiency and waste in the
government service, as reflection
that you are not pleased with the way
your government is being run. That
warning was against carping criti-
cism and not against constructive eff
forts to make the government service
more efficient and economical.
The mistake of attempting to loop
off expenses by one drastic slash here
or there was emphasized recently in
the House The appropriations COM
mittee cut to the quick appropriations
for the promotion and development of
foreign trade by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
The commercial attache service
was virtually wiped out by crossing
off the appropriation. The business
interests of the country protested Wig
orously and this item was restored
Behind this was seen the shadow OF
long -dravn-out contest between the
consual service of the State depart
ment and the bureau Of foreign anC
domestic commerce for coatrol of the
commercial attaches.
Now this foreign trade promotion
| work, brought into the spotlight by
the recent contest in the House, illus
trates the opportunity for coopera
ton to get economy and efficienc!
that Congress is planning to under
take on a comprehensive scale.
The Unit ed States Bureau of ETH
cheney has made a report to Congress
which shows that ID government de
partments and establishments are en-
gagged directly in the promotion AM
development of foreign trade, or II
activities closely related to that flel'
of wo-l-. They are the Department
