GILL BATTERR PUT
 TO A HEAVY TEST

Not very often is battery called upon to withstand the terrific strain of pulling the entire automobile through the starter, although it is frequently done on tests, but it re- mained for the Gill battery dealer at Merced, Cal, w. w. Willetts, to stake the real punishment to one of his batteries in a demonstration to con- vince a prospect that the Gill battery will stand more abuse without injury than any battery on the market.
 Willets had been driving his car, Chevrolet 490, by the use of the bat tery and starter up and down the streets of Merced, remembered by many motorists, as the gateway to the Yosemite, but one day a spectator jokingly pointed to truck-a five ton monster standing across the street. and said, "I'll bet you can't hook on that truck and budge it."
 The Gill dealer backed his car up to the truck, coupled it up and stepped on his starter with the switch off. The battery turned the starter over and Willets let in his clutch. The Chevrolet and truck moved forward for several feet, and then Willets threw it into reverse and backed the truck up several feet, just to show he had nothing up his sleeve"
 This test did not hurt the battery in the least, for by the patented cross-assembly construction of the high, thick, narrow plates, buckling is impossible.
 Black & Ellis, local dealers for Gill batteries claim that Gill batteries thrive on abuse.

IMPORTANT TO TIRE USERS

There is no good reason today why with the present low cost of tires, any motorist should take chances operat- ing his car with weak or wQyn-down castings or tubes, or buy unknown and inferior brands, said Mir. Wheeler of the Underwood Tire Co.,, local Sales Agency for Federal Tires.
 "When you consider that the stan dard brands of tires give twice the mileage today that they formerly did, and that the cost is lower than at any previous time in the history of the in- dustry, why should any motorist ex- pertinent with the cheap, unreliable, unknown brands?
 "Tire expense is measured by the mileage delivered, and a good tire, while costing but a trifle more than the inferior kind, is likely to give at least twice the mileage.
 Better to fail in doing something than to succeed in doing nothing.

KEEP ENGINE COOL
 IN HOT WEATHER

To keep the engine properly cooled during the warm summer months, flush out the water system at frequent intervals and fill with clean water. In connection with efficient operation, adjustment should be made to the fan belt. The position of the spark level should be watched to see that it is kept in an advanced position, thus as- suring better cooling of the motor.

Japan seems to be living up to the
letter of the Washington peace con-
ference. While two other signatory
powers of the conference are standing
in the offing, heckling over the
terms of battleship scrapping, the
Nipponese have dismantled thirteen
of their ships, stopped work on the
building of four others, and dis
charged 10000 officers and men. She
has further shown her desire for
peace in the Pacific, and made prac-
tical, so far as her part is concerned,
the results of the conference in
greater extent than any other nation
participating. Her fidelity to the
treaty obligations is more con-
clusively shown in the reduction Of
her army to one-fifth, and the shun-
ting of $1,000 Of her soldiers into the
private walks of life. Also, she has
returned to China the province OF
Shantung, and withdrawn her troops
from there.

to asking for pork after the barrel
