YOU can readily see why it is neces-
sary for the tags to be kept accord

article 12, of the traffic regulations
deals with license tags. and i call
particular attention 10 paragraphs
c and D.
Methods Of Placing.
".(c) When two OF more identitica-
ton tags are displayed. and one is
placed above the other, the District of
Columbia Identification tag shall be
unobscured by a bumper. tire or other
article, and shall he located upper
ton tag or tags on both the front and
rear of the motor vehicle, the Dis
trict of Columbia identification tag to
be wholly visible and with no edge
overlapped. When more than one
Identification tag is displayed. and not
placed one over the other. the Dis

shall always be TO the left.

TOURIST FACILITIES
Thousands of Autoists Go

Says Association.

Right now Is the time thousands Of
people get the dope" together and

astonish lot of people to know that
the figures show 100000 vacation
days were spent in national forests
last year. Four million tourists were
counted and the average was two and
a half days per person. says the
American Forestry Association Of
Washington. BY auto and train they
get into their Fairgrounds at the first
breath Of spring. and from then on
1t is a parade until snowtime comes.
Recreation Added Return.
National forests were set aside
primarily to produce timber and pro-
tect the watersheds of streams" says

are their primary functions and no
other use should take precedence, but

Because of the peculiar arrangement
of the exhaust. there Is q tendency to
blacken the tag to a point where even
gasoline fails to clean it. Now this
is caused entirely by the carelessness
of the person placing the tags on the
machine. When the District of Co

other state tag is attached to IL at

BATTERY INDIGESTION

Few Motorists Can Resist Tempta.

Faucet,

when the internal workings of

accumulation of sediment in the bot

r. Keene. local Westinghouse distrib-
utor.
THE grids may be bridged with this
sediment, and a short-circuit ef-
fected.
IF this condition is to be avoided
distilled water should always be used
in refilling the cells. No matter how
often motorists are cautioned about
using rain water or water from a
faucet. there seems to be a tempta-
ton that few can resist. to pour in
little of the nearest water availa BILE
rather than drive to the service sta
tion and get distilled water.
THE distilled water may not be
quite so accessible at the moment
but the use of ordinary water merely
pEolongs the time until the service
station must be visited-and is very
likely to make the visit an expensive
one when it is made.
'The use of non-distilled water is
about as sensible as testing a battery
with a screwdriyer-and about as
