DismantIina and Rebuilding
Some Simple Points.

Nearly all battery troubles are due
TO the owners failure to observe a
few simple instructions. The motor

his storage battery Is the one who Is
cautious In the care of It aud makes
II practice TO examine II at least
once every two weeks In winter to
see that the liquid solution Is UP to
the proper level.
These periodical tests are highly
important. They enable you to tell
In advance when your battery Is In
danger Of being ruined through under
charging or oyerbeating. when minor
troubles In the electrical system are
draining the strength and endurance
Of your battery. when an inexpensive
freshening charge would save expen-
awe dismantilng and rebuilding later.
Few Simple Suggestions.
Here are few simple instructions,
which, IL followed, will lengthen the
life of your battery, and give moro
satisfactory service.
Under no circumstances use any
thing but pure distilled water.
Boiled" water will not do, 1t must
be distilled water from which all
impurities which would injure the bat
terry have been removed. II you do
not care to add distilled water your
self make arrangements with the near
est service station to do It for you.
Acid or electrolyte should never he
added except by an expert battery
man.
All metal parts Of connectors,
which are not lead-coated, should be
kept covered with a thin coating of
vasellne.
Look ut your battery occasionally.
and II the solution has sprayed or
spilled. wipe clean with a moist
sponge.
Don't lay tools. or anything else,
across the top OF your battery. =
Remember that your battery Isn't
expected to keep spinning your engine
several minutes ut a time. 1t can do
It but It is bound to shorten the bat
tery's life.
If your engine does not start
promptly when you operate your
starter, make sure your ignition
switch is turned on and that your
carburetor mixture is rich enough be-
fore using your starter again.
In cold weather II your engine
doesn't start promptly gee whether II
Il being sufficiently ''primed."
II your battery Is to stand idle with
your car out OF commission for q
month or more at a time. take 1t out
Of the car and leave It with a service
station to be cared for.
Cause OF Dim Lights.
II your lights are dim or there are
any other indications that your bat.
terry is run down." II may be due TO
the fact that you are running the car
too little to keep the battery charged
or the generator may not be charging
properly, or wire "shOrt circulted II
II you cannot easily locate the trou.

an Inspection made.

 The attempted sale of the ships owned by the government and control ed by the Shipping oBard has been a failure and hac given rise to great deal of islander and charges of graft and in many ways has been unsatsi- factory. At the present time there are hundreds of some of the finest ships in the world lying idle or being oper- ated at loss by the shipping board. The process of chartering the vessels at low rates to private individuals or corporations Is believed to be a solu- tion of the problem. The ships will be entered in trade and producing a reve- nue.

INCOME TAX
 IS EFFECTIVE
 JANUARY lST
ISSUED BY COLLECT OR OF INTERNATIONAL REVE- NUE AT TACOMA FOR THE IN- FORMATION OF THE PUBLIC.

TACOMA, Dec. 31-Tke following statement is issued by Collector of h. ternational Revenue, Burns Poe, for the District of Washington.
 "The enactment of new revenue legislation has brought to the offices of Collector of International Revenue flood of inquiries regarding various provisions. The Revenue Act of 1921 became effective November 23, 1921 unless otherwise provided for.
 To avoid error in the preparation of their returns and later difficulties with the Bureau of Internal Revenue, taxpayers are advised to carefully note the changes and when they be- come effective.
 The excess profit tax is repealed as of January l, 1922. The rates for 1921 are unchanged.
 The surtax rates for the calendar ycc" 1921 are unchanged, and range from one per cent on the amount of the net income between s5,000 and s6,OOO to 65 per cent on the amount of net income in excess of $1,000,000.
 The exemption allowed for a depen- dent is increased from s200 to S400. Married persons living with husband or wife and heads of families are al lowed a personal exemption of S250o instead of s2000, unless the net in come is in excess of $5,O00 in which case the personal exemption is only s2,OOo.
 Single persons, and married per sons not living with husband or wife are allowed an exemption of S1,000. Persons having gross incomes for 1921 of $5,000 or over are required 10 make returns regardless of the amount of net income.
 Provision is made for the repeal as of January l, 1922, of the tax on stock holders of a personal service corpora tion as such After that date such cor porations are to be taxed in the same manner as other corporations.
 Many peprsons are under the i'm pression that the taxes on ice cream, soft drinks, etc, monthly returns of which are required, have been repeal ed with the enactment of the new act. These taxes remain in force until the end of the calendar year 1921.

1st, but the pending contests made this impossible. Now that the time for the adjusting of the boundary lines has been extended the whole matter will probably be cleared up and the holders of claims in the region will be able to do something with their hold ings. The extension of time particu- larly effects the old Costello holdings in the east field of the Cold Bay dis trict. When the boundaries in this field have been adjusted 1t is very likely that development work on the claims in this region will begin i'm mediately.

 Briefly the plan which the Presi- dent will suggest for the considera- tion of Congress is as follows; The Shipping oBard will be authorized to charter to private individuals or cor porations, any number of the vessels now under its control. It is proposed that the rates on such charters be so low that they will be attractive to op- orators. The novel feature of the plan suggested by the President is that it will provide that the Shipping Board shall take a portion of the receipts of vessels making trips in the export trade and turn over such portion so taken to American vessels on import
