RUNDOWN BATTERY
LIKE A BAD TOOTH

III q tooth goes wrong we go to
dentist and get 1t hxed," E. r. keene,
local Westinghouse dealer, said to
two new recruits in the army of
motorists last week. There's trouble
ahead if we allow weeks or months
Of biting and gum-chewing
to go by before giving the tooth the
attention it needs.
Most people are fair to their teeth.
! But too many autoists are not fair to
their batteries. A tooth and Sattery
are alike in many ways If something
| Ia disturbing their proper function
ing nine times out of ten only a
touch here and there by an expert is
| needed to restore them to a long
period Of prime working condition. If
either is neglected, however, the fault
becomes the owners. and not that of
| the tooth or battery"
Lose Their Tempers.
$50 many motorists lose their tenn
pers and take it out on the starter
when 1t lags in turning the engine.
1t is 50 common for motorists to
place infinite trust in their generators
without thought as to whether they
are charging at the proper rate. AS a
rule the average motorist knows that
| the specific gravity of his electrolyte
has something to do with the eff
cheney Of his battery. But it is gen.
orally the case that, having bought
and paid for battery, he expects it
to take care Of itself automatically.
And then, when his neglect and abuse
has resulted in the battery refusing
! to take a charge-well, he just natu-
rally goes up in the air and hlames
everything and everybody except him
| self.
| THE service required Of a battery
may be such that the generator does
not charge at the proper rate. If lit
tie night driving is indulged in and
| the starter used to excess the drain
is heavy. Excessive night driving and
little use Of the starter means a light
drain. The first produces an under
charged battery and the second an
| oyercharged one-one being just as
undesirable as the other.
Distilled Water Needed.
Distilled water, which any service
station will furnish, should be used
to keep the liquid in each cell Of the
battery up above the top of the lead
plates. A little examination once a
week in summer or half as often in
winter will take care of this. Any
motorist should be able to do this
himself.
liquid has spilled and acid should be
added as well as distilled water. he'd
better let an expert handle the job.
II he doesn't, he is likely to get the
wrong proportion, and that means
well, it means that the expert will
have to take care of it anyway"

A Short Story.
by O. OSCAR FISHFACE.


1t was dark. And the alley was
dark, and the night was dark. We
might even say that the car was
dark. for what is black but dark
gray? And Harold's car was black.
Harold was young, that is he might
have been older. Methusalah was
older.
Harold had made his money selling
flivvers. For twenty-seven years he
had sold flivvers. On the street cor
ers. in hotel lobbies. on trolley cars
and. in fact. anywhere that he could
find anybody with 45 cents, which
was required as the first payment, to
buy one. All during these twenty
seven years he was working and
waiting for the time when he could
own an automobile. And he drove his
! fiivver all the while.
Now that time had come. He had
retired from business and had bought

Though a boy quite plain
. Always had on his face
An expression of pain.
He was really good-looking
And he dressed very we'll,
And with his Cadillac speedster
He could throw quite a swell.
But with all of his clothes
And his Cadillac eight,

The President added that there

The secretary's message then
quotes that portion of the admiraPs
speech in which he described Irish
sympathizers here as technical Amer
icans," charged them with placing OBJ
structiOns in the way of the allied
naval forces during the war and de-
nOunced them as "asseS."
The extract, as quoted by the sec
retary, follows:
81 do not want to touch on the Irish
question, for / know nothing about
it. But there are many in our coun-
try who technically are Americans,
some of them naturalized and some
born there, but none of these Amer
leans at all. They are Americans
when they want money, but Sim
Feiners when on the platform. They
are making war on America today.
The simple truth of it is that they
have the blood of British and Amer
lean boys on their hands for the OBJ
structiOns they placed in the way of
the most effective operation of the
allied naval forces during the war.
They are like zebras, either black
horses with white stripes, or white
horses with black stripes. But we
know they are not hOrseS-they are
asses. But each of these asses has
a vote, and there are lots of them"
