Battery Really Does
 Not ".Store Juice"
BY MARSHALL A. MOODY Electrical and Battery Expert

The impression that prevails in the mind of most motorists that a storage battery stores electricity just as a reservoir stores water, with the gene rator pouring it in at one end and the lights and starter taking it out at the other. is erroneous"
 ''The word storage is really a mis- homer as applied to what actually takes place in a battery, but we have no non technical name that would describe il as well. What really takes place is 9 chemical action and reaction; the send ing of current from the generator in the battery changes the nature of the composition of the positive and the negative plates and the completing oi the wiring circuit by touching of the starting button or turning on the lights starts them back again toward their original composition. thereby creating the force called electricity It conld perhaps, better be likened to the wind ing up and releasing of q spring than to the pouring in and out of water.
 But, after all, to the layman his generator puts electricity into his bat tery and he gets it out hv touching a button, and what word better describes that than storage
 Tn one respect the name storage, suggesting, as it does. the reservoir, is @ good one. for 1t may help keep the fact in the car owners mind that water is a necessity.
 The dry reservoir is a total loss and so it the dry storage battery. Make use of the Titan free service stations and be sure your battery is getting enough distilled water for it's needs.

McEuheren Says
 Big Improvement
 Already Apparent

Ut is certainly a pleasure to be able to quote low prices on automobile tires" says l.. IT. McEllherren, man. ager of the Mack Tire company. "The buying public are highly elated over the recent decline. Of course We have all watched a continual price advance in all commodities for the past four years. and each advance was met with staunch American spirit and the usual smile. Now that we are on the other side of the hin, the decline in prices is 9 splendid indication that conditions are rearranging themselves and there is no doubt in the world ere long we will be on a before -the-war footing.
 'All fields of endeavor are showing a decided improvement and for ourselves we are pleased to say that with the ex- ceptional bargains we are able to offer and with the unusual demand it is rather hard to keep a complete stock

Interest in Coates Tire House Bought
 By John Sabre

The interests of Cal Messner and Frank Headlee in the John r. Coates Tire House have just been purchased by John Sabra of Tucson, formerly a Phoenix business man.
 MT. Sabra lived here for 9 years. moving to Tucson about one year ago. he is very well known all through the Salt River valley, having been connect- ed with the automobile business and automobile racing here to q great ex- tent.
 Mir. Sabra's connection with Mir. Coates will be marked by an enlarge ment of the business, plans now being laid which will make the concern one of the largest in the entire west. Only the most standard lines of tires. ac- cessories, gas. oils and greases will he handled, and the most up-to-date serv- ice will be available to the general public, according to Mir. Coates.

 The reduction applies to all shop work repairing, overhauling, etc, or anything required by a Ford that feels the need of a hospital.

STATES NEEDS NEARLY
TWICE AS LARGE NOW
AS AVAILABLE INCOME
(By Guthrie SMITH

New Mexico's needs have been
growing very much faster than its
income. The disproportion has ncw
reached an acute and distressing
stage, it is shown in the report OF
the budget committee, which Gov.
McShem transmitted, without recon
mediation to the Fifth legislature on
Thursday.
The report shows that the needs
for the tenth fiscal year will reach
a total of $2,8S7, ,i94, while for the
eleventh year. with no building pro-
gam authorized, the needs will be
only Sl,8o2,24l. The appropriations
for the eighth year totaled 81 ,24l 400,
for the ninth year, 81 ,2Oo,6Ol.
But the total OF S2,8S7 ,l94 for the
tenth year is to be further increas-
ed by S46S ,65S, to cover deficiencies
for the ninth year. This brings the
total to $3.352,679 THIS figure makes
the demands of the ninth year look
modest indeed by comparison
One encouraging feature is that
the total includes a building pro-
gram that runs to $l,223J600 There
are many reasons for believing that
this building program will have van
ishcd almost entirely by the time
the general appropriation bill is
presented for Gov. Mechem's sigma
ture. Some of the members of this
legislature have declared without re-
scrvation that not dollar is to be
appropr for new buildings for
state educational institutions.
oil Of Tho ht,.lrltpar
gram, to cost $l,236O, and the
total then remains 81 ,6S3,S94, and the
increase is in round figures, $440,-
y95 greater than the appropriation
Tor the ninth.
Included IN the $465655 needed to
cover deficiencies for the ninth year
ar ethe following items Buildings
for the Military Institute, at Ros-
well and the Insane Asylum, at East
Las Vegas, $2l3000; building at the
Institute for the Blind at Alamogor-
do, $1,000; building at the Silver
City Normal college.SOO; the old
deficit that has been accumulated at
the Agricultural college, $1,000.
1t is estimated by the budget conf
mittee that the total OF assessed va
luation for the year 1921 will drop
to $575 100000. On three mill levy,
assuming that the tax collections
will average 90 per cent, the tax
income will be $l,275,000, which will
run far short OF meeting the needs
This does not include, OF course, re-
ceipts from the income tax and the
inheritance tax, both OF which laws
are yet to be passed.
The estimate OF needs for the
tenth is as follows:
Legislative, $1,000.
State departments, $5O7,72O.
Courts, $S4,400.
Educational institutions, $l64l, 10,
including the building program.
State Institutions, created By the
constitution, $449, 700.
State Institutions, created by sta
tutes. including the museum OF New
Mexico. the Girls Welfare work and
the Chids' Welfare, $lO6,SOO.
Indebtedness, interest and sinking
fund, $0i955
Miscellaneous, Sl70.5S5.
