Storage Batteries
Usually Weak When
Summer Is Over

Sunmer heat makes the work OF a
storage battery about twice as hard,
according to l.. Clifton, the Presto
Lite Battery Distributor at the Brewer
Service Station.
I'VE see batteries bFpught into our
station in all kinds of conditions-some
of them standing up bravely, many Of
them just tottering on .he edge OF a
breakdown.
"When a battery has been neglected
too long, it is impossible to bring it
back to life. 1t is dead rs the proven
bial door-nail and the only thing that
can be done is sell the owner "a new
battery. 1t is our job, however, to put
life in old batteries. If there is any
chance at all of doing so. We can usu-
ally add two to six months service to
the life of any battery if we are given
the chance before it's too late.
"If drivers would only get the habit
of calling at our station twice a month
for our free life extension service, all
battery breakdowns could be avoided
they would be foreseen and the battery
charged or repaired in time"
| Mr.. Clifton also states that for those
whose batteries have served their use

TERRITORY LAGS
All Efforts to Gain Entrance
to New Fields Seem to
Hit Snags; the Plans
Proposed Fail.

Construction of a railroad west from
Ardmore, to tap new territory has
struck a snag. and according to John
Easley. secretary of the chamber Of
commerce, there is little hope for an
outlet in that direction in the near fu-
ture.
Overtures and concessions We're made
to the Santa Fe. but b. F. Storey, sup.
erintendent of the road, said that his
company would not operate a proposed
line between Ardmore and Lawton even
if It should be built and presented to
tAe company.
Efforts to get Frank Kell of Fort
Worth to extend the Fort Worth and
Denver, which is building to Byers, Tex.
as, and Waurika, to run a branch line
to Ringling were fruitless Kell said
that he was building straight into Wau-
rka.
Extension TO Waurika by the Ringing
road seems hopeless at this time.
According 10 Mr.. Easley Ardmore in
dustries have demanded an outles to the
west for some time, which would ex
tend the trade territory some 20 or "a
miles more.

ton trip through the western states.
they little suspected half the pleasures
in store for them.
They left Kansas City, at which place
Mrs. Cornwell and Billy had been Wis
iting with her parents. and went di-
rectly to Colorado Springs. The resort
was in full swing at the time of their
arrival and the meeting with many Of
their friends made their stay there
doubly pleasant. The next place visited
was Manitou and from this point they
took automobile trips to all the places
of natural and historical interest, in
Guiding Cave OF the Winds, Garden of
the Gods. Seven Falls and Pixies Peak.
Salt Lake City next extended her
hospitality to the wanderers but the
main subject of interest there, accord

what the men had done with their nu-
merous wives when MOrmonism was
abolished.

which featured the session, was di-
rected at the past, present and fu-

part, she said:
Il wonder Just how many of you
are familiar with the Florence

know the high ideal Miss Night
ingale endeavored to instill into the
hearts and minds of her followers
for we are all followers of Miss
Nightingale, known as the Lady Of
the Lamp and as the Mother of
Universal Nursing. Miss Nightingale
desired that every nurse should take
the pledge and should live UP to the
pledge. / want to call your attention
to certain paragraphs from that
pledge:
Il solemnIy pledge myself before
God and in the presence of this, as
semblage, to pass my life in purity
and to practice my profession faith
fully"
Il win do all in my power to
maintain and elevate the standard of

devote myself to the welfare of those
committed to my care" If we can
keep ever before us these three
paragraphs we will be worthy of the

American nurse is proud to honor
and that woman was our beloved

POLICE GUARD PASTOR
Warned In Letters He viii Die
Before Boldly

Terrorized by series of more than
twenty threatening letters received by
her father, the Rev. Charles Tiud,ey
nastor of the Calvary African Methodist
Episcopal Church at Broad and Fitz-
water streets, Emmcline Tindley ap-
pealed to police of the Twentieth and
Federal streets station last night for
protection.
She had several OF the letters with
her. one of which read in part: "You
will die before Boldly" All of them
accused him of being traitor to his
race. As soon MS the girls story had
been henrd n patrolman was detailed
to guard the house and the letters
turned over to the postal authorities.
Miss Tindley anxiously explained to
police that her father had nothing to do
with the capture. She said that Cole
man, the man who realized who Boldly
was when he came to 2006 Rodman
street, where he was captured, had gone
to Mr.. Tindley for advice. The min
lister. shc said. merely told him that
he had better lay the matter before
Magistrate Scott and that he had not
gone with Coleman as was ut first re-
ported.
