S. A. Miles, general manager of both

squeeze more exhibitors into the

I With the coming Of the shorter days
and longer nights that go with cold
weather. 81 frequent complaint heard
by the garage man and the electricity
expert has to do with the battery. The
owner wonders why the lights fail
every once in while, or why the horn
that the battery, which is more difficult
to keep charged in the winter, is get
ting weak.
A driver recently, found his lights
would not work right when his car was
running. Starting out there was light,
but after running short time there
was trouble. The lamps we're fitted
with DINNERS, and these would not
work at all times; sometimes one would
light and the other fail. He went to
the garage repair man, and then the
DINNERS would not work at all He
went to an electrician, who looked over
tho battery and declared it to be all
right, but on the ground that he was a
battery expert and not wiring expert
ne could not say why the lights would
not shine, and the owner had visions Of
stern policemen and the possibility Of
having to face Il traffic Judge, and he
sought advice elsewhere.
In the mean time his troubles multi
piled. The horn, electric, refused to
"honk'' at times and got so that it
worked only after the car had been
running half an hour or SO.
Used Starter Frequently
While trying to determine the cause,
questions asked by an expert developed
the fact that the owner was. employed
during most of the day and only ran
his car nights, except that he was maxi
ing long trips on Saturday and Sunday,
and ran quite late into the night both
days. During the week nights his trips
were short, with numerous stops. This
caused frequent use of the self-starter.
he found it took longer to start the
engine, a natural result of the cooler
! weather.
These facts suggested that the bat
terry was being starved; that is, that it
was not getting enough charge to keep
it at its best. There seemed to be no
trouble with the wiring and the owner
was told he had better have the battery
charged and see if his troubles did not
end. They did
His trouble was, that he did most of
his running at night, and as he care
fully observed the speed laws, conse-
quently the generator did not generate
very much extra current and the bat
terry was being recharged at very
low rate and being discharged at a
rather high rate. In other words, he
was chopping off both chds burning
both ends of his candle. He was using
an excessive amount Of current and
generating less than usual because of
running at night, starting often and

last week by the oertner Motor Car
Company, when fifty Durant automo-
biles In a single shipment were driven
away from the Durant assembling

immediately to waiting owners. The

DECLARES PARENTS
 TOO LENIENT WITH
 SCHOOL CHILDREN

Charging that parents encourage their children to "cut classes" by fur nishing excuses of the meaningless 'unavoidably absent" character II. w. Stauffacher, registrar of the Phoenix Union high school, at a meeting be- fore the High School Parent-T Teacher association yesterday afternoon de- clared that fathers and mothers were too lenient with the young folk.
 MT. Stauffacher explained the meth cd of registration which is now being used. He said that if pupil failed to be present at morning class the noon record revealed the fact
 In "ditching" classes, he said, the pupils had the cooperation of their parents, who furnished the excuses.
 There were more than a hundred present at the meeting, which was pre- sided over by Mrs. J. L. B. Alexander, newly elected chairman. The coop eration plea of MT. Stauffacher, who reminded the mothers that while they | had one, two or three children to watch over, the high school had 1400,
 was emphasized in a talk by Mrs. | John Dennett. Jr. In her discussion of | Social Activities of High School Boys and Girls" she pointed out the | late hours that were being kept by the school children and held the parents responsible.
 Mrs. Dennett advocated the parties l beginning at an earlier hour, with re- | treatments served correspondingly early, so that the young folk might be ! home before midnight. In recognizing l the two types of affairs, the dance and the evening devoted to games, Mrs. Dennett said that games had to be amusing and interesting to hold the attention of the guests, making a number of suggestions.
 ] Declaring the automobile to be the 1 greatest influence for evil. the speaker accented the importance of home train 1 ing to hold the boy and girl to the | proper conduct"
 1 Mrs. Dennett urged simplicity in all | school activities and the measures she advocated were covered largely in the 1 following resolution passed unani-
 mously:
 Whereas, we believe that the attain :
 ment of the physical, mental and nor al perfection of our children should be our highest ambition; and, where
 as, we believe that one of the means
 of accomplishing this happy state of
 in social activities of our young peo- pie; be 1t resolved, by the members
 of the High School Parent Teacher association, that it will use its utmost
 influence toward:
 1. Simplifying the social activities of high school students;
 9 To confine social activities to
 non-school nights;
 3. Urging high school children to be at home not later than 11:30 o'clock from all social affairs;
 4. Encouraging simplicity in the high school girls party frock.

Art Training Develops Talent
 Of Many Girls in High School

Yesterday was the last day of the semester in the art department of the high school, and the students, under the watchful eye of their teacher Miss Cordelia Perkins, were rushing their work to completion. There were strings of quaint clay beads which must be given their last gay coat of paint, candlesticks to be lacquered, drawings to be completed. Lying on tables were completed sets of luncheon doilies, lovely hand painted ones which com pletely disguised the fact that they were made of common oil cloth. There were gorgeous parchment lamp shades with some real professional designing on them, the kind that costs a mint of money in the stores. There were tables and chairs for porches, lacquered in a riot of color. There seemed to be everything that one might want in a home, there ready for the asking-yes even down to hats and dresses. For Miss Perkins not only teaches drawing painting and interior decorating, but she designs the hats and dresses which the girls make in Miss Helen Brooks class.
 Many promising young people are taking the art course now, and taking it with the purpose of making theil livelihood by the knowledge learned

PAINLESS
 DENTISTRY
The practical appli- cation of the modern

 methods in dental surgery indicates that all operations shall be painless or at least rela- lively so, and since the methods that we em- ploy in our modern dental offices are only those approved by the highest authorities and dental clinics, our patients are all sub iected to a minimum of inconvenience in having all work done. They are also as- sured that there shall be no bad after effects, because we use those methods of anaesthesia which are best adapted to each individual case, and apply it in manner which leaves no opportunity for harm to the patient.
 We especially welcome those cases which difficult and which require highest degree of care and ability in tba treatment offices fitted with the latest most approved equipment and instruments The cara la taken In matter of sterilization.

 Robert Torrance, art editor of the school paper, had several designs for a cover for the annual lying on his desk which went a long way toward proving that he deserved his title.
 Down in Miss Brooks class the young ladies were putting the finish ing touches on hats which showed the workmanship of experts and the style of a French designer. There was a fluffy taffeta dress lying on one of the machines which simply coaxed one to put it on and dance out. And every little girl was so busily engaged in her work that she had eyes and ears for nothing else. That is, all except one.
 She came rushing into the class room out of breath, and with distress writ ten plainly on every feature of her rosy countenance. In her hand she held a partly finished hat.
 What is 1t, Catherine?" asked Miss Brooks.
 "Oh, Miss Brooks. I hurried so tc get here that lost my braid. I mus have dropped it on the street some where"

 "Go back over the way you have come, and look for it." decided Miss Brooks. And Catherine with a las despairing look at her hat, and at tho others which were fast nearing com tpletion, turned and left.

BY U. :. r O6-tI rtGr4.-t n -SEHVlCE (This is the third Of four articles on
 "Bad Air.")
 Tn the matter'of humidity, the great majority of houses disregard this en- tirelv. Most indoor air is far too dry. The humidity should be from 50 to 65 per cent. Usually it Is from 25 to 35 per cent, or 40 per cent at the most.
 One of our greatest errors in Ven- tilation is in maintaining our homes at too high a temperature.
 Sixty-five to 6S degrees F. is about right, instead of 70 to 75 degrees. which 1 is not uncommon.
 l With proper humidity. tempera- ture of 65 degrees is just as comfort able to sit in as a temperature of 70 degrees with the humidity low. 1 When people get a proper apprecia- ton of this fact they find that 1t is probably easier to supply the humid
