M0relI Writes of
 Difficulties of
 Battery In Ford
BY c. E. MORELL Manager of the Arizona Battery and
 Ignition Go.

6r V. E. MOhGEE
 Manager of the Arizona Battery and
 Ignition Go.
 Since the Ford car has been eIectri- cally equipped good many owners have wondered at the relative short ness of life of their starting batteries.
 The reason for this is found in the rather rigid spring suspension of the Ford and the fact that many owners drive their cars rapidly over rough roads, together with the short wheel base and the light weight of the car itself
 The vibration set up under these conditions quite naturally is transmit. ,. ted to the battery This induces a slight rubbing action between the plates and separators, causing rapid deterioration of the separator and sub sequent short circuiting of the battery.
 There is one battery. however, on the market whose construction specially fits it to withstand these conditions That battery is the Vesta- The plates 1 in the Vesta battery are locked firmly apart by the Vesta indestructible iso- lators. These "siolators" are practical ly vibration proof and there Is no way in which the plates can touch. Inas- much as the 'isolators'' are not in the path of the current they in no way af- feet the capacity of the battery. Ford owners are finding for this reason thai the Vesta batteries are exceptionally long lived in their cars.

the products of nature from one com nunity to another
 This fact is rarely thought of by the average man when he is speculating upon the reasons why articles of pro- duce and manufacture are high or low priced, as the case may be. Take the case of production in any manufactured line" Stapley went on. "The whole fabric rests upon the ability of the manufacturer to get raw materials. The cost of his finished product depends upon the cost of his raw materials to a great extent. ThD cost of these ma terials depend to a still greater extent upon the transportation facilities available and their cost to the producer and the manufacturer"
 The motor truck has certainly dem onstrated it's value in the whole scheme of transportation, and the future holds a still greater scope for this wonderful mode of conveyance.

EDITOR Is
LANDED IN
J A | |
Gave Alleged Bogus Checks
to Pay Expenses of Honey
moon Trip and to Minister
for Ceremony

Carl A. Downey, former city editor
Of the Ell Centro Progress, is under
arrest in San Diego on a charge Of
issuing check for which he had no
funds in the bank, and Officer Deaton
of the local police department has gone
to the coast city to bring him back to
El Centre to answer to the accusation.
Downey was recently married to Miss
Ruth M. Sherwood and it was in con-
nection with his marriage and honey
moon that the checks were issued it
is said.
Downey's arrest was caused by the
News Depot on Fifth street where he
cashed two checks for SIS each. Morris
Hylton swore to the complaint charg-
ing the former newspaper man with
issuing worthless check, but it is
said that a number Of others aggre-
eating approximately $100 are being
held by various business houses about
the city and by the First National
bank on which they were drawn.
Downeys' activity appears to have
eben confined to short period of time
in this city prior to his marriage to
Miss Underwood few days ago, as in
most cases where he asked to have
checks cashed he is aid to have told
the buiness men that he needed some
money in hurry as he was about to
be married. He obtained a loan Of
$50 from Probation Officer A. w.
Swanson after telling Mr.. Swanson
that he had lost check for $500 and
$75 in cash while on the road to San
Diego. He deposited Mr.. Swansons
check in the local bank and then wrote
a number of checks against the ac-
count, it is said, most of which were
returned to those who cashed them
because of there being insufficient
funds in the Downey account.
One of the most unusual features of
the case is that after his marriage
ceremony he gave bogus check for
$40 to the officiating minister. I'm.

nony Downey and his bride went to

PEACE Dove
IN IRELAND
EXCEPT IN
BELFAST
Dublin Castle Officials Walk
Streets Openly for First
Time. May Be Granted
Dominion Form of Gov
ernment.
(Ry Associated Press)

DUBLIN, July 1.-THE truce in
Ireland, agreed upon by government
officials and republican leaders, pend
lng peace negotiations went into ef-
feet at noon and in Dublin was marked
by the complete disappearance from
Lne streets of armed guards, military
ferries and armored cars.
Dublin castle officials who hitherto
have been unable to walk the streets
openly were going about this after
noon under normal conditions. AS a
consequence of the abolishment of the
curfew restrictions, theaters, moving
picture houses, street car companies
and railways announced that COM
mencing tonight they would resume
normal hours. Confidence was ~ex~
pressed everywhere that the republi-
can forces would observe the truce or
ders. In Londonderry in accordance
with the truce agreement all police
men were summoned to barracks to
hand in their arms and subsequently
resumed duty unarmed. In Belfast,
where disorders began Sunday and
were continued this morning the police
were still retaining their arms. AT
all other points the force was dis
armed.
BELFAST, July 1.-THE curfew
law was reimposed here today as the
result of disorders Sunday. Belfast
is now the only place in Ireland under
curfew regulations despite the truce
terms by which the curfew was raised
generally.
LONDON, July 11.-Eamon De-
Valera will come to London Thursday
for conference with Lloyd George
to discuss the basis of settlement of
the Irish problem. Official announce
ment to this effect was issued this
afternoon.
Yesterdays rioting in Belfast with
its list of Is killed and 100 injured
have aroused fears of what might
happen tomorrow on the anniversary
of the Battle of the Boyne.
1t appears today that the negotia-
tions between DeValera and Lloyd
George revolve around the granting of
a dominion status to Ireland and that
the demand that Ireland be granted a
republican form of government has
been abandoned.
