CARE OF BATTERY

Automobile dealers take particular pains to see that the storage bat teries on the cars they sell are kept in good serviceable condition. says A. N. Earnhart of the Battery Ser vice company. local Prestolite dis tributors. Tt behooves the pur- chaser of . new car to take equal pains in the care of his battery if he experts 1t to last long time and give him continuous cranking and light ing service"
 -when a dealer receives a shipment of new cars, the first thing he does Is have the storage batteries attended to-" says Earnhart- Very little at tenfion is needed. Usually a test shows the battery in perfect condi- ton. Sometimes distilled water must be added to one or more cells. Rarely recharge is necessary to bring the battery up to normal.

Driving . mud -despattered Frank ;l1n car. Mir. and Mrs. J. G. Keefe ar rived in Butte, Montana. on April 27, after most interesting trip from Los Angeles, according to word received at the Franklin Motor Car company of this city. Leaving April IS, camp was made successively at Ludlow, Las Vegas, St. George, Cove Fort, Salt Lake City, Brigham City, Me- Cannon. Dubois and Lima
 Reaching the entrance to Beaver sanitation was held and it was de- cided to attempt the passage, though other cars were returning. with the statement that nothing could get through So the Franklin was turned Into a snow blow and the grind be- gan- At a point four miles from Old Beaver the road was blocked by a huge drift, and caterpillar tractor was stuck in the creek crossing on the road below, SO here the railroad he'd was the only salvation, and a mila was bumped off over ties From here the road improved. and so it was the Beaver canyon was con quered on April 26.
 The distance covered was exactly 1909 miles, and the entire distance was driven by Mrs. Keefe. This Is the third time the same car has
 made the trip with Mrs. Keefe at the wheel. and a wonderful feature of the trip was the fact that the Franklin which left Butte in a snowstorm No vembcr 27, 1920, returned on Apri 27, 1921. with Butte air in three tires Only one puncture in nearly si, months of every kind and condition of road is~quite a record.

sometimes invites complications which work hardship on the battery ana rob 1t of its natural ability to withstand wear and tear in service iater He knows. too, that the aver age battery will last for a good long time if it is given half chance.
 After the car is placed on the sales floor the battery is periodically in- spected- Unless the engine is run for few minutes every day or so the generator has no chance to replace the power that naturally deserts an idle battery, little by little each day. In this way the dealer aims to give the battery the benefit of the re- charging process that takes place in ordinary service in the hands of the car owner
 What happens when tho owner takes possession of the car and as- sumes responsibility for the batterys condition? Probably no two batteries get identically the same treatment
 Some owners seem content to know that the battery is working all right and apparently leave well enough alone. This is a dangerous
 policy and is frequent source of battery troubles No battery will thrive under this trea atment. More OlteH IL VIII SHOW SlEDS OI DdiklnS after the first month or two and un- less something is done quickly an ex- pensive repair or a replacement will be necessary.
 l Others get the periodical inspec- l tion habit early in the game, driv- ing their cars to battery service station for a thorough test by men who can recognize at glance the
 first signs of trouble and take the
 steps necessary to correct them. An ounce of prevention Is worth pound of cure, or, as the saying goes in
 automobile circles, an ounce of fn- l spection Is worth a pound of new l battery -

Dodge, With O2,OOO Miles SerDice, Goes
 To Washington, D. C.

Charles McArthur of McArthur Brothers. Dodge Brothers distribut- ors has received an interesting bit of information regarding a Dodge car that has travelled 102, 900 miles and is still "as good as ever.''
 George Wickham of Hermosa Beach, California, has recently been appointed assistant land commissions CT with headquarters at Washington, D. C., and before leaving ran around to Fred Albertson, Dodge distributor in Los Angeles to say goodbye he says.
 When George R. Wickham, city attorney of Hermosa Beach, was ap- pointed and confirmed by the senate as assistant commissioner of lands in the United States, with headquarters in Washington, D. C., he saw that his sturdy Dodge Brothers car, which has already traveled over 102.000 miles, was due to take another little Jaunt of about 3.000 miles, An automobile. like women, Is as old as it looks. and as Mir. Wickham drove up to the salesrooms of the Albertson Motor company, Dodge Brothers dealer. to bid goodby to Fred Cox. auditor of the concern. his early Dodge Brothers car. built in 1915, 'belied it's age
 '.The original finish was still there a little scratched, but still good.
 T understand that the field service department of the general land office has standardized on Dodge Brothers cars, so that I will be right in style when I arrive to take up my duties,' said Mir. Wickham. And after the strenuous mountain trips that I have made I can readily understand why the land office has decided on these cars for the use of their surveyors assistants and supply men. I bought my Dodge Brothers car, which. by the way, was one of the first in Los An geles, early in 1915. and have pilotet it over pretty near every foot of Cali fornia Nevada and Oregon

SAYS THERE { CHANGE r OR
 REDUCTION NOW

Answering the many inquiries that have been made of him during the past two weeks as to Ford's Likelihood of drop in price, Ed Rudolph quotes E. L. Graves. Los Angeles branch manager for the Ford Motor com pany, on the subject:
 It should be remembered that the Ford Motor company was the last to Increase the price of their products during the war period and the first to return to pre-war prices. says Graves. sThe prices were dropped back to the pre-war basis at one fell swoop. which amounted all the way from 20 to 32 per cent.
 Those who are waiting for another drop will wait in vain, am thorough ly convinced. No indication has bean received from the Ford Motor cora pany at Detroit that would point to further reduction on the other hand we have authentic information that the Ford Motor company is sell ing certain models at a very close margin and will continue t0 k,sc money on these types until the price of materials has been greatly re- duced.

 Not every mosquito has been put ont of business. but the enormous hoTdes of mosquitoes which made life a burden in New Jersey are a thing of the past. In the mosquito-re- claimed land territory, cities and towns have grown.
 ''New Jersey has now adopted slogan, The mosquito must go,' and 1t has five-year program which, if all remaining Salt-marsh breeding areas.

 RetaIIis Development.
 ''If Connecticut should pattern af- ter New Jersey in anti-mosquito work, then the millions of dollars now ex- pended annually for roads and state aim to make Connecticut habitab1e, and not cater wholly to those who wish to enter ahe state and get out of it as soon as they can. It is the mosquito problem, more than any other, which has retarded the devel- opment of the beau iful homes along the northern shore of Long Island Sound.
 New Jersey has 2s6.OOO acres of salt marsh, and Connecticut only 22, 800, or one-thirt rteenth as much. Moreover, fully one-third of his area in Connecticut has been ditched, so that not mere than E, GOO acres re main to be treated. In Connecticut ehis work has depended on local in fttadve, so it is spotedt and incom- plete, and no single locality new ben efits as greatly from it's own efforts as would be the case if all similar re- gions were similarly di Vched.
