Practically all motorists recog-

Corrosion may have taken place
around the terminals. This should
be carefully scraped off and vase
line spread over them to prevent
further trouble Of this kind.
THE cradle in which the battery
rests is frequently 30 badly cor
roded by acid that. fisurativeiy
speaking. the battery is only held
by a thread. In fact, l have seen
a mans battery drop out on tho
road because the motorist had
failed to examine his cradle.
THE wisest course 10 to drive
the car to the nearest service sta
ton either before or after you have
completed the rest of the overhaul
ing. Here. an expert battery man
can test your battery, tell whether
It needs any repairs and in other
ways assure the success Of your

"One way OF avoiding this-lf

your battery service station until

when you are ready for the touring
season you can be sure your bat

At present all Belgium factories
combined and working at full capac-
ity cannot turn out more than 5000
cars a year; before 1921 their output
was greatly restricted. so that the
1921 production rate could hardly
have been sustained. 1t is thus
obvious that during these years,
even II the Belgian manufacturers
had been able to turn out the car
most desired at a popular price,
their mere shortage Of output would
have compelled importation of cars
from other countries to meet the
local demand.
There are at present about 6,l00
American cars in Belgium. 1910 OF
which are Of well-known makes.
Practically all have been import I'd
since the armistice. The excess over
the official import figure Of 1886
given above Is accounted for mainly
by purchases from army stocks. The
retail pricee of the most popular
American standard stock touring car.
all charges paid, vary from $500
to $500 francs for the low-priced
cars comprising by far the ma
jority, two makes selling below II 900
francs), 21,00O to 5000 francs for
medium-priced cars (the most popu-
lar makes selling below 10000
francs), and 81 900 francs for a we'll
known high-priced car.
Detailed figures show that Belgian
buyers give preference to cars SELL
ing as much under 10000 francs as
possible. Good sales were recorded,
however, for well-handled medium
priced. and even relatively high
priced machines that enjoyed good
repute in the American army. The
fact that sales of all American cars
slowed down with the rising dollar
exchange indicates that on the whole
the price was the initial argument in
their favor.

Cadillac Engineers Insist on

A sheet of ordinary newspaper is

Cadillac motor car there are 800

will appreciate that 1t 10 this

ments that results in a quality
motor car.
Cadillac manufacturing methods
have always been the source of
the greatest interest to the
mechanically inclined. Since taking
over the new Cadillac factory a
year ago the Cadillac Company has
developed the system Of construc-
ton to an even greater degree Of
perfection. Visitors to the Cadillac
plant are always interested in the
gauge room and the thousands Of
precision instruments used. To
maintain the standard of accuracy
the Cadillac plant has $4,000 in
struments in constant use.
The accuracy of these precision
instruments Is being constantly
tested. the piston-pin gauges. for
example. being checked twice every
day they are used. The ultimate
measure of accuracy is the
Johansson gauge. known as the last
word in mechanical measurements

the creations Of five or ten years
hence would look like. Glancing
back over the startling changes that
have been made in the last ter years
he has wondered whether or not II
would be possible for the. coming
decade to show similar progress.
MY personal opinion 10 that II
will not. I am Of the belief that most
