''HEART DISEASE"
COMMON AILMENT
Storage Battery Is One Of Most
Important Units Of Car, Yet
Often Overlooked.
MANY ARE STARVED TO DEATH
To Secure Long Life It Should Be
Charged and Discharged Frequent
lyCareIess Owner Soon Makes
1t Piece of Junk.

1t is very peculiar fact, but nev-
ertheless true, that a hard-headed
business man will invest three or four
thousand dollars in motor car and
then cease to take the necessary pre-
cautions in safeguarding his invest
ment.
The storage battery is one of the
most important units of the car, yet
it is a device which seldom receives
the proper attention, writes B. w.
Cooke. president of a Chicago trade
school. All that the average owner
knows about this unit is that it re-
quires certain amount of distilled
water occasionally. have often seen
storage batteries in use that did not
receive even occasional attention.
Literally they were starved to death.
Heart of Automobile.
The battery may be considered the
heart of the automobile and when it
fails the car stops.
When the engine is in good condl-
tion 1t will start within fifteen sec
onds. If it does not, then the opera
tor should locate the trouble before
he abuses the storage battery. When
the starting button is pressed, as
much as 200 amperes of current may
be drawn from the battery. This
means excessive chemical action in
the battery and If continued for any
length of time the battery is sure to
overhead.
Sooner or later the battery becomes
a useless piece of junk in the hands
Of the careless car owner. Excessive
use is one extreme. The other is
when the battery is used but little
and the car much.
Charge and Recharge Often.
To secure long life in storage bat
terry the unit should be charged and
discharged frequently. If you should
find that you are overcharging your
battery turn the tail light on occasion
ally during the daytime. or even when
you leave the car al night. This will
serve to drain the battery slightly and
keep it in condition.
Always bear in mind that your bat
terry can be likened to a wooden pail
II 1t Is drained too much, II Will be
like a pail left in the sun; it soon
falls to pieces.
1t Is the storage battery mans duty
to keep your battery in condition. He
is the man who can pour the water
out of the pail and fill 1t again." Ev-
cry time you pay him 80 cents it is
an investment that pays big divi-
dends. Remember this.
Donf let your car have heart
trouble.

HEAT DETERlORATES RUBBER
Tires Cannot Long Remain Intact
When Highly Heated by contin.
uous Speeding.

= A high-grade tire on racing car
will sometimes stand up as far as 500
miles, about one-twentieth of the life
of tire operated under ordinary con-
ditions. This difference in tire service
is due directly to difference in the
heat developed. Heat exerts de-
teriorating effect on rubber in proper
tion to the intensity and length of
time the rubber is exposed to it. Run
ming at high speed quickly raises the
temperature of a tire. This heat re-
suits from the internal friction set up
In the tire carcass. Tires are designed
to resist the effects of heat produced
by ordinary everyday car operation,
but they cannon long remain intact
when highly heated by continuous
speeding. The tire bills of the speeder
are likely to be higher than those of
the driver who proceeds at a moderate
pace.

FORESEES VOYAGE TO MOON
ture the Trip Can Be Made In
Forty-Nine Hours.

NJ. Esnault-Pelterie, of the Paris
Aero club, predicts that the utilization
of the intra-atomic energy will enable
men in the near future to travel from
the earth to the moon in 40 hours. The
first 81 minutes, Il seems, will be very
agreeable, but during the 4S hours and
% minutes of the second part of the
course one will have the sensation of
a terrible fall in the void.
And this reminds one of the charm.

One morning when standing ut the

Valve clicks and slaps are the most
common engine noises.
The neglect in tightening bolts or
filling grease cups often leads to trou-
BILE and frequently breakdown.
Spring shackles, wheel bearings,
steering connections and universal
joints should be oiled frequently to
save wear and insure smoother opera
ton.
1t is a good plan to have ones car
gone over thoroughly by competent me-
chanies once in a WHILE but there are
certain points that every owner can
look after himself.
To slow down the engine and re-
main in high when crossing railway
tracks Is a dangerous practice. The
engine may die with the car wheels
on the first rail.
Because of incorrect adjustment of
the carburetor, nearly one-quarter OF
all the gasoline used by motor vehi-
cles is wasted In incomplete combus-
ton.
Among the little things on car
that stand good chance of being

YOU AUTO KNOW

That failure to shift gears on
a long hill Is one of the signs Of
the amateur driver or of the man
who prefers to try to "show or
the power Of his machine at the
risk Of serious damage to the
engine or, at best, of stalling In
the middle Of the incline. First
and second Glow and intermedi-
ate) gears are placed on cars for
emergencies of this kind and are
designed to assist the engine In
pulling load to which it Is not
accustomed. The driver who
does not make use of them Is,
therefore, placing an undue
strain on his car and should not
be surprised If something gives
way under it.
The best method to use in the
case of long steep incline Is to
approach, If possible, at a fair
rate of speed, so that the car
will gain as much initial impetus
as possible. Then. when the
machine begins to lose speed but
before it has slowed down too
much. shift to second and, If
necessary, to first. Also, at the
first sound of a knock" retard
the spark, for this will slow
down the engine and give it more
power, thus making it unneces-
sary to shift gears on hills which
the driver knows by experience
his car can make without la
boring. ..
