HUMAN NATURE AND
THE STORAGE BATTERY

The following advice to battery
users, regardless Of the make Of
Storage battery he is using, is given
by Clayton Steele, manager of the
local branch of the, Electric Storage
Battery Co, Philadelphia, Pa.
I'm spite of all that has been writ
ten regarding the proper' care and
attention of storage batteries, there
is an appalling number of these use
full little power boxes ruined every
year purely from neglect.
However, as long as human nature
remains as it is, it is going to be
difficult task to persuade AUTOMOBILE
lists to give their battery the proper
amount of attention. They won't
give it to their own bodies. Doctors
will bear out the statement that ev-
eryone should submit to thorough
physical examination periodically in
order that, if any serious symptoms
are present, they may be detected and
checked in their incipient stages.
most of us know this, but we neglect
going to the doctor until we are
acutely conscious Of the fact that we,
need his services.
"How then, can we-negligent be-
ings that we are-be expected to give
proper attention to little inanimate
part Of our automobile that seems to
give satisfaction Cat least to GER
tain degree) whether we take care of
it or not.
obviously, the only thing We can
do is to keep hammering away at the
battery user, bombarding him with
facts about his battery until he be-
gins to realize how much he can save
by needing the suggestions offered
him.
probably no battery was ever in
stalled without attention being call
ed to the fact that II needed distilled
water-at least once week in warm
weather and every two weeks in cold
weather. And yet, in spite Of this,
many batteries go for weeks at time
without the slightest bit of water.
"It's true, the battery will light
your head and tail lights, it will even
spin your motor, but it's doing these
things at the expense Of your bat
tery's life. For the water, having e.
vaporated from the electrolyte, has
left practically nothing but acid, in
which the lower half of your plates
are submerged.
This acid is eating constantly at
the active material in your plates,
and in comparatively short time,
the lower half of your plates is strip
ped to the grid. No amount of good
treatment thereafter can remedy this
trouble-nothing but new plates.
eff motorists can only be impress
ed with the saving that can be ef-
fected through the use of little care
they will find that their batteries will
give them far better service than they
have learned to expect"

liable spirit which enabled the
settlement at jamestown To sur
.vive the privations aud difficult
ties that encompassed il during
those first years. There In 1907
was made the first permanent
English colony ia America. The
charter given by King James
to what was known as the Lon
don company, under whose aus
pices jamestown and the later
Virginia settlements were found
ed. designated that this colony
should extend 200 miles north
and 200 miles south of Old
Point Comfort aud stretch west
ward TO the sea. Under the reign
sof Charles III Ii was considered
such an important colony that il
was called the fourth dominion
of his empire, that Is. England,
Scotland. Ireland and Virginia.
From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The
name Virginia itself means the
virgin land and was so called
after Queen Elizabeth, the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
ment of Virginia Is of great in
terest. At first communism was
tried, under which system the
land and all property was owned
In common and all profits were
divided equally. This proved
disastrous failure. In 1919 the
first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was estab-
lished called the house of bur-
gesses, which continued In force
under varying fortunes until yir-
ginia Joined the Union and be-
came the tenth state In 17SS.
Much might be written of the
character of the early virginian
settlers and their great influence
on American life. From Virginia
has sprung two other states,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even so, the states present area
is 1927 square miles. Politi-
cally the Old Dominion state is
entitled to twelve presidential
electors. This is about the aver
age of the southern states.

When Margaret was discharged from
the factory it never occurred to her
that there may be other chances in life
but the one she had was always brush
ing against the hard things In life and
she left bruised by the contact. The
humiliation of her discharge from the
factory left her despairing and sick at
heart. She wandered through the
streets until she found herself standing
on the bank of the river. The quiet,
soothing tapping of the water seemed
10 entice her The endless current ever
flowing swiftly down to the sea fascin-
ated the sad eyed girl and she saw In
its depths release from the eternal
prosecution of life.
Margaret hesitated for a moment,
and in that short period, fate made
her decision, and sent her messenger
in the person of Teddy Shale to save
Margaret from her medltated death.
Teddy offered her a solution of her
troubles.
In the murky. uncertain atmosphere
Of a Barbary Coast dive, Margaret

MINE EXPERTS HEAR
TALKS BY THOMSON
GIVES REVIEW FROM BASIS OF
ORE DRESSING STANDARD
BEFORE CONFEREES.

An important conference betweeer
the mine operators of the Coeu1
! dAlene district and officials of the U
| S. Bureau of Mines and of the Idaho
State Bureau of Mines and Geology
took place at Wallace on the evening
of July 21st.
Francis A. Thomson, dean of the
University of Idaho School of Mines
and ex-officio secretary and director
of the State Bureau of Mines and
Geology, reviewed the work in ore
dressing which has been done at the
University by the various co-opera-
ting agencies during the pest four
years.
Following this A. W. F,ahrenwald,
ore-dressing engineer in charge OF
the federal work at Moscow, explain
ed briefly the present research in the
application of surface tension meas
urements to the determination of the
adsorptive capacities of certain
minerals for different oils. This ex-
position led to a good deal of dis
cussion by different operators and
millmen, who expressed themselves
as feeling that this line of work will
be ofg reat assistance to flotation
operators everywhere.
Mr.. R. B. Elder, of the school of
Mines staff, spoke briefly of the re-
suits secured by a method of decon-
taminating creek shines before flota-
ton, the decontaminating" affording
a pre-flotation treatment by hubbIing
and elutriating, thereby removing
from the slime certain surface ten
sion lowering constituents prejudi-
cial to flOtation.
Mr.. Thomas Varley, of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines station at Salt Lake,
discussed the volatilization process
and it's applicability to Occur d'Alene
ores.
Messrs. Stanley A. Easton and J. F.
Mccarthy, speaking for the opera
tors, expressed themselves as well
pleased with the progress being
made, and urged a continuance of
the present program.
Mr.. Easton took occasion to point
out that flotation, while a fruitful
field for research, is by no means the

which, as Mr. r. S. Handy remarked, |
