STORAGE BATTERY
LOADS HEAVIER
All Sorts of Accessories Draw
Current From Magic
Box"

The ordinary automobile storage
battery is subjected to a greater and
and greater Toad each year, as ad-
ditional accessories in the electri-
cal line are added. Today we have
electric hand warmers, unit heaters
for the tonneau, parking lamps,
dash lamp. trouble lamps. spotlights,
battery meters, electric dash clocks,
dome lights. extra cowl lights, cleo
trio warning signals, and rear sig
mails, all operated from the storage
battery, as we'll as the ignition and
starting systems.
The tendency seems to add an
ever increasing load, until the pres
ent day manufacturers are advocat-
ing setting a standary battery of
1S0 ampere hours capacity, to give
proper electrical service.
II you are desirous of relieving
the load on your battery, you can
purchase a small set of lights, with
wiring which Will help you ac-
complish a great saving of current
The set of auxiliary lights is COM
posed of four. two tiny buttons with
clamps and reflectors, for fasten-
ing to the windshield. one dash
lamp with screw bracket. and a
small rear fender lamp for a park
ing light. The globe sockets of the
set are the screw pattern. and the
bulbs used are the ordinary flash
light bulbs. All four are connected
in series, and draw but 2:5 amperes
the same amount Of current that the
ordinary parking lamp consumes
The set can be used for night driv-
ing in cities, and for parking.

APPRECIATE TALKS
Chamberlain Makes Hit With
Lectures on Sales
Methods.

Important conferences on the sub
ject of Meeting Sales Resistance in
the Automotive Industry" were held
the past week under the direction
of o. H. Chamberlain. widely known
sales executive. The meetings were
held under the, auspices OF the
Washington Automotive Trade As
sociation. on the sixth floor of the
Buick Motor Company's building.
Fourteenth and L streets northwest.
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. at eight in the eve-
ming and on Friday morning at 10
o'clock.
Many members of the local Auto
motive Trade Associationt attended
the MEETINGS, and the efforts of Mr..
Chamberlain were highly appre-
ciated. From those companies send
ing attending representatives, the
unanimous report was given that
their sales forces had profited in
every way by the series of lectures.
and the general hope was expressed
that the speaker could be heard from
again in the near future.
Mr.. Chamberlain Is regarded in
the business world as an efficiency
expert on marketing manufactured
products, and his wide experience
embraces responsible organization
positions with the National Cash
Register Company, the Burroughs
Adding MACHINE Company. and the
American Multigraph Sales Com
pany.

LIFE OF AUTO TIRE
THREADNCREASED
Chemists Discover Method to
Lengthen Period of
Endurance.

How far should the tread of an
automobile tire run? Today chem
lists have discovered a method of
compromising tread rubber that
gives it. under normal conditions.
$4,000 to 10000 miles life. The tread
wears away so slowly that were the
lest tread stock evenly distributed
over the road, only the width of the
tread, it would be but nine tee
millionths of an inch in thickness.
Even the most powerful micro
scope can magnify but 5000 times
which is far too coarse to detect so
minute a rubber film. Consider that
this rubber deposit along the road
way compares in thickness to an
inch as the distance from New York
to Denver compares with the dis
tance of the. earth from the sun.
When the motorist considers that
this wonderful wear-resisting tread
Is merely a compound of the milk of
the rubber tree combined with a few
pigments, such as sulphur, zinc
oxide and lamp black, he is more
than ever amazed. As a matter Of
fact. while tread rubber sloughs off
at the rate described, II Is actually
pieces instead Of evenly as a film.
1t is only in this way that tread
wear can be detected.
1t is the policy of jealously guard
ing by constantly testing treads
with rivals under actual road con-
ditions that Is largetly responsible
for keeping'.the Miller tire factory
running at full capacity today.
Comparative mileage is indeed the
true test of tire quality and decides
the public acceptance Of tire.

SPARE TIRES NEED
PROPER ATTENTION

When you are looking over the
tires on your car. don't forget the
spare you are carrying behind. Un-
less 1t is covered to protect it from
light, water. oil and heat. II will
rapidly deteriorate. These four
enemies of rubber will take the life
out of any rubber product in a short
time.
1t is important 70 make sure that
the spare tire is fastened tightly to
the carrier. II there is any play in
the fastenings there will be con-
slant rubbing against the casing
and consequent injury to it. Once in
q while a few drops of oil should
be placed on the demountable rim
bolts. OIL should also be used when
an old tire has rusted to the rim
and refuses to give up its hold
But when oil is used carefully wipe
1t OF the tire before the job is fin
ished.

The individual brake has q small

on the master pedal forces the oil

STOCKS UNMOVED
BY FORD PRICE CUT
Reduction of IA Per Cent
Applies to All His
Models.

In spite Of the announcement
Friday by the Ford Motor Company
that their entire list Of models had
been cut IA per cent in price, the
quotations of the New York Stock
Exchange in automobile stocks,
showed that the automotive. world
was entirely unaffected by the drop
in Ford prices. =
OF those automobile stocks listed
on the Exchange, an overwhelming
majority showed increases from II
of a point to as high as 1 point.
and the only stock that developed
a drop during the day was General
Motors, preferred, which lost 4 of
a point, while General Mortors 6
per cent debentures gained a point.
The quotations of new prices
contain the following figures given
out by the Ford Motor Company,
effective Friday last.

Speed on Sharp
Corners Reduces
Service of Tires

Taking sharp corners without
Stacking speed means poor service
from tires. according to Miller tire
men. Although everyone knows
that it is inviting accident, there are
still many who will make a sharp
curve without taking their foot off
the accelerator. HE practice is as
responsible for as rn.2y collisions
as any other one thing.
But even when nothing happens to
the car. there is something happen
ing to the tireS The tendency of the
car to sway to the side as 1t takes
a corner puts a severe strain on the
castings. To some extent it takes
off the tread as in skidding.
