SPARKS
From an Old Battery
by Old Man Voltage

As l look back on my long life of
had work, certain things stand out
as clear as the blue sky. remember one
! day, Mr.. Driver, when you took me on
| an all-day ride, way back into the coun
| try. You had friend with you, re-
member? And your friend was compli-
menting you on the smoothness Of your
car. You were pleased and after lunch
you started up again. / was feeling
pretty well myself that day and / gave
your engine mighty spin that made it
start with a\hum. You smiled and told
your friend that you had a battery that
was the best you ever saw. You re-
member all that, don't you!
Two weeks after that you left ME
standing outside of that theater in town
and forgot to put on your DINNERS. You
had done a lot of night driving that
week anyway and 1 was getting pretty
tired; / had been overworked. Then
you cussed me out for not turning your
engine over as fast as you thought |
ought to; you expected me to keep on
going all the time without any reference
to my capacity.
1t would be possible to build a battery
having the capacity that you want, Mr..
Driver, but it wouldn t be good thing
to do. If the engineers that made me
had put inside of me very thin plates,
hardly thicker than paper, used great
many of them, with very light separa-
tors, thus providing little acid space
and a high gravity of clcetrolyte, l
would then have been able to spin your
engine almost as fast as your motor
can do it, | would have been as frisky
as a young colt and you would have
smiled as you pressed the starter but
ton and listened to me working under
your feet. But that would not have
| lasted long. In few weeks | would
have gotten so feeble that it would
have been impossible for me to have
even turned your engine over.
| Dom you see, Mr.. Driver, that bat
terics are like most other things in
| life; we can't have everything that We
want If you get unlimited life in
your battery, you have less capacity;
| if you get unlimited capacity, then
you have much shorter life. And
50, what the engineers did that built
me, was to make the best possible
compromise between the two and give
me long life and good capacity.
These are things you never thought
of, Mr.. Driver, especially all during
the months when [ worked for you
and got very little in return. Next
week ] will tell you why | am so light
and then you will appreciate me even
more.

POINTERS ON HOW
TO USE BATTERIES

Asking how many months a battery
win last is like asking how many
months pair of shoes will last. The
maker, or his agent can only answer
that it is ''wear, tear and care y that
count, brit at the same time he will
lay special stress on the care Man
ufacturers of the Willard storage bat
terry have figured as a matter of fact,
that there are just four things that
determine the life of a battery. These
are use, time, care, and the quality
of the battery itself.
If person makes unusual demands
upon battery he will probably reduce
its life by few months, but with all
the other things equal he will have at
tanned satisfactory mileage. Conse~
quently cost per mile in such case is
as fair a basis for comparison as cost
per month.
The battery is something not only
to use, bnt to use up. You provide your
car with electricity for starting, light
ing and ignition by using up the bat
terry. The battery is not an inexhaust
ible supply of electricity, but it is a
boxful of electricity making ingredi-
ents and these ingredients must be re-
stored as used or the supply will give
out. The best protection is to refill

FREIGHT TRUCK men
ASK 5-TON ROADS

Highways are the companion OF pro-
grcss and with the extension of paved
roads into formerly remote agricultural
regions, the wealth of the state and
nation has been immeasurably increas-
ed From the standpoint of social pro
gress, the farms and rural population
have been aided in the enjoyment of
cultural and recreational activities
which might otherwise be denied them,
according to Fred Mott, secretary-man-
ager of the California Motor Transport
Association in a statement issued to-
day.
''Regulation of the industry with
the enactment of uniform state We
hicle law is now matter of vital i'm
portance, said Mr.. Mott. "We must
use the roads up to the capacity of the
tonange which they will bear without
accomplishing their premature destruc
tion. This matter could undoubtedly be
taken care of under uniform state
law and the fixing of q just tax which
will compensate the state for the wear
and tear inflicted upon the highways
"The vital necessity for the use of
motor trucks both directly as railway
feeders, is evidenced upon every hand,
Mr.. Mott said. ''Thc Importance of
motorized transportation to the farmer
of California is such that it has broad
encd his markets and has reduced to a
considerable extent the cost Of moving
his produce to market. The prosperity
of our agriculturists should not be i'm
periled by haphazard, and lily consider
ed legislation in our 50 counties. Rather
should we have we'll ordered regulation
through the instrumentality of uni.
form state vehicle law.
''Thc Bureau Of Public Roads of the
department of agriculture has com.
pletcd an investigation which shows
that in 1918, the cost of wagon haul
age from farms to shipping point aver
aged about SOC per ton mile for wheat; !;
33c for corn; and 4Sc for cotton, while
by motor truck, the averages here
shown are but 15c for wheat; 15c for

corn and 19c for cotton. This reduc.
tion was accomplished in a large meas
ure by the rapidity of service furnish
ed by motorized highway transporta-
tion and by the use of new and better
highways which are now being con
structed in all parts of the country.
''The campaign has resolved itself
into the proposition that California
highways should be built up to stand
ard which will permit the operation of
any five ton truck with capacity load.
Thus we would accomplish the end
sought by the California state highway
commission, which through Charles A.
Whitmore, one of the commissioners,
has voiced its opinion that gross
weights upon trucks should be eliminat-
ed to that required to permit a five
ton truck to be loaded to capacity, to
stop the loading of other trucks beyond
their rated capacity, and to graduate

CAYUSES RIDE TO
RANGE in AUTO

The day of the real COW puncher,
with his silver mounted saddle and
bride, his trusty 8 as and his engraved
chaps has long since passed. Today,
even in the widest regions of Arizona,
New Mexico or Wyoming, you are more
apt to see fencerider or a ranch en-
ploy on his way to the oundup mounted
upon his motor car than upon a bucking
broncho. If you care to see replica
of the historic cowboy you must visit
one of the big motion picture studios
when Il western is beini staged, and
even then perhaps there will be too
much paint nthe puncher's face to fit
in with the ideas Of Frederick Remings
ton.
A Stockton livestock firm has bought
modern equipment to their rescue in
truly commercial style and now, while
using the cow pony TO round up eat
tie, Burgess and Stewart transport their
cayuses from roundup to roundup by
means of REQ Spcedwagons, thereby
saving much time and saving expense
by enabling their men TO dc their work
more quickly.
''Before the purchase of the Speed
wagon from the STOCKTON dealer repre-
senting the REQ Motor. Car company of
California, much time was lost in get
ting the horses from one place to an
other" says Byron C, Foy, vice presi-
dent of the California REQ company and
manager Of the Los Angeles plant, ''as
it was necessary to either ride or lead
them long distances and that consumed
hours of time and left the men and
animals tired before they began their
days work.
"With the Speedwagon the men
leave Stockton at clock in the morn
ing with the horses all saddled, and at
8 o'clock the men are herding the cat
tie at the Pennington range, 20 miles
away. The horses are full of pep too,
because the ride in the Speedwagon
chills them little and they move faster
in order to get warm. If it were neces-
sary to ride or drive the. horses to the
range it would be noon before the men
get on the job, according to representa-
tivcs of the stock firm, and the horses
would be all tired OUT

/ to motorists that they must have an
operator s license while driving ears,
! The California Motor Vehicle act re
quircs everyone who drives a car to
have an operator S license, not only in
| possession, but actually on the person
any time that they may use a car.
! Traffic Officers throughout the state
have received instructions that in case
of any violation of the traffic laws,
they must first demand that the driver
of the car produce an operator s license,
and if this cannot be done they must
make an arrest, no matter how triviol
the original offence may have been.
Each day in the police courts there arc
eases of drivers having to pay fines for
not carrying their operator license;
right here in Ell Centro. The license
costs nothing, and applications can be
had by calling at the office of the auto
club. The application is forwarded to
Sacramento, and the license sent to the
applicant. Once a license is issued it is
good until revoked for some violation
of the Vehicle act. The Auto club urges
all drivers of ears to obtain an opera
tors license at once, and having re-
ceived it, to carry it with them at all
times, OF Detter Het, pace IL Oh tHelI

thereby avoid needless Inconvenience

The Auto club still has plenty of
Safe Drivers League emblems, which
are issued to autoists who sign a pledge
agreeing to drive carefully and observe
the motor vehicle laws, and wishes to
see them in greater number of FL Centro
cars. The safety emblem is not guar
antee against accident, but if all who
drive cars join the Safe Drivers League
and observe its aims, it will do much to
reduce the number of accidents accord
