TEN RULES OFFERED
TO SAVE BATTERIES
Greater Care Is Necessary Dur
ing Winter Weather.
Few Simple Instructions, II Faithfully
Followed, Will Add Materially to
Life Of Important Electrical
Device

Now that cold weather is here, you
should look your battery over every
two weeks. These few simple instruc-
tions. faithfully followed, will lengthen
the life of n battery:
]. Don't lay tools or anything else
on top of your battery.
2. Don't spin your engine several
minutes at n time.
3. If your engine does not start
promptly. see that the ignition switch
Is on and the carburetor mixture suf-
ficiently rich before using starter
again.
4. See that engine is sufficiently
prlmed in cold weather. Throw your
switch off; push starter to turn en-
then start again and your cylinder is
primed.
8. If you car stands idle for a
mont or. more, take the battery out
and leave it at the service station.
6. Use nothing but distilled water.
Z. Let an expert add the acid for
the electrolyte.
8. When the solution sprays or
spills, wipe clean with a moist sponge.
Some batteries make no provision to
keep the solution from splashing, so
this rule is given.
0. Keep metal parts of connection.
which are not lead-coated, covered
with a thin coating of vaseline.
10. Dim lights are sometimes warn
Ing signals of short circuits or i'm
proper charging. Let the service sta
ton make an inspection when you are
confused.

HANDY CLEANING RECEPTACLE
Convenient Way Outlined for Remov-
ing Dirt and Grease From Small
Machine Parts.

A convenient receptacle to have
around the garage for cleaning bolts.
nuts and other small parts Is made
by removing the bottom from a one
pound coffee tin and soldering In Its
place a coarse wire screen. The
parts TO be cleaned are then placed
In the tin, the cover put on and the
receptacle is shaken in n larger pail
containing Kerosene or gasoline. Dirt
and grease are separated from the
parts by the oil and allowed to fall
through the mesh.-Motor.

REMOVAL OF STEERING POST
Hardwood Blocks Are Best as They
Furnish Good Brace for Jack
to Exert Pressure.

To remov a steering post without
damaging 1t with n Stillson wrench,
clamp two pieces of wood, a surface
of each of which has been followed
out to hit around the post. Hardwood
blocks would be best. This furnishes
a good brace for a Jack to exert pres
sure in l%oosening the piece. Work
may be aided by blows on the blocks
by a hammer.

Give AUTO TIRE
GOOD ATTENTION
Very Few Owners Give a Thought
to Its Care, With Exception
of Initiating 1t.
COTTON FABRIC FOUNDATION
Elimination Of Internal Friction Would
Greatly Increase Life Of Cover
Big Difference Between Cords
and Fabrics.

To the average owner, al automO-
bile tire is good only when 1t travels
many thousands of miles without
breaking down or blowing out. Very
few give a thought to its care, with
the exception of initiating 1t from time
to time, and a still smaller number
know what it is made of.
A big tire concern has prepared a
treatise on the foundation of one
which should be remembered by every
motorist. 1t is as follows:
Cotton fabric is the foundation up-
on which an automobile tire Is built.
1t Is used to give stability and
strength. There are two %weIl-known
classes of tlres7the square-woven
fabric and the cord tire.
Cords and Fabrics Differ.
'In the square-woven fabric tire the
threads in each ply run In both direc-
tons, alternating over and under as In
a piece of ordinary cloth. In the cord
tire, the threads or cords In each ply
run parallel, with the exception of u
few small cross threads, used simply
to hold the cords together while they
are being ~lmpregnated with the rubber
compound.
"The life of a tire would be greatly
increased IL internal friction could be
eliminated. The internal friction
caused by intermittent distortion of
the tire in use is the result of the fric-
ton of the threads upon each other
and the strains and stresses set up In
he rubber compounds. Naturally the
fabric which gives the least room for
internal friction will give the longest
life to the tire.
Since square-woven fabric cannot
be thoroughly impregnated with rubber
at the points where the threads cross,
ticking at these points will cause a
saving action and the generating of
Internal heat. 1t has been demonstrate
ed very clearly by experiment that
when the temperature resulting from
Internal heat reaches go degrees, vul-
canlzed rubber ceases to function as
an adhesive compound, crunbles into
minute particles which fail to resume
their original condition, causing the
compound to lose its function In the
tire.

ports that the conference may be post

h European nations are exceedingly
DESTROYS that the United States shall
take part in the meeting, but this
grows more unlikely as time passes.
Secretary Hoover, in n Washington's
birthday address in Chicago, gave
what might be considered an unofficial
expression of the administrations
views on this matter. Without becom-
Ing too specific, he made lit plain that
the United States could not be ex-
pected to lend assistance to the nations
of Europe until they had worked out
some of their present pressing prob
lens, including unbalanced budgets,
overtaxed peoples, large armies and
an unbearable debt, both domestic and
external-all bearing their fruit of in
fiation and instability"
Mr.. Hoover added: 1--WE find our
selves much torn between an earnest
desire to be of service and a rightful
desire to keep ourselves free from
matters to which we are not a party
and which we cannot remedy partici-
patton in which, nevertheless, would
undermine our strength. Il influence

Mrs. Anderson Declared 500 Children Lost 10 State In Error Of County Home SysteDs

''If you desire to get women into your organization, interest them, show and sell them something which will appeal to them and then you will make. the game worth while" said Mrs. James Russell Parsons, president of the Neighborhood clubs of New York in her address yester- day afternoon at a meeting of the Fairfield County Republican Women's organization. 'tPatu uotism is service not sentiment, and after the women and to do that which will be of the greatest benefit of their own com munities and the nation.'
 Interest Them.''
 '-When you ask women to come into your meetings," continued Mrs. Par sons. Five out of every six will re- ply, o Pm not interested in political work!' Probably another would say T would rather give my time to phi1antrophy work! But if these women would stop for while and think it over, they would find that by good politics women give the largest contribution possible to philantrophy and good politics can be obtained only by all women joining in effort for that which is best for mankind and for the nation"
 Mrs. Parsons advised the women to guard themselves and their organ izations against the pitfalls of politi- cal corruption into which so many men and women all over the world she said, stNever sacrifice a. convic- tion for an ambition and let your po- litica1 life be one of concense, co-op- eration and courage
 Mrs. Davis Presided.
 Mrs. Leo Davis of Norwalk, presi- dent of the Fairfield County Repub- lican Women's association, presided at the meeting and in her introductory address splendidly voiced the senti- ment of her organization. 'We be- long to political faction.' Our object is to serve in our various com munities- We believe that if a par ty does not stand for the thing which will bear the severest scruntiny, it is not entitled to succeed We be- lieve in separate women'S, associations for the purpose of gaining knowledge and exchanging opinions, but we be- 1ieve in a party organization on mixed lines where men and women in team play work side by side to achieve con structive action" Mrs. Davis was heartily applauded.
 One of the most interesting speeches of the afternoon was made by Mrs. Rosemary Anderson of New London, who was appointed by Governor Ho1- comb as a member of the Child Vel | fare Commission and by Governor Lake as a member of the governing

Mrs. Anderson spoke of her work while on the Commission and of bet ter child legislation which should be one of the uppermOSt thoughts in the mind of the woman voter.

 Mrs. Anderson quite startled her audience when she told that 500 chiI- dren had been lost to the State of Connecticut through County homes.

 Think of it,'' she demanded. five hundred children whom the State cannot find and probably never will locate, ard the life of every child is of such vital importancei"
 We desired to put through a great deal of helpful legislation for chill dren, but received OnIy a small part Of it. One of the things which the commission wanted was to change the age limit when the boys and girls come into their majority. We wanted it so that if a boy under 16 went into a house or place of ill-repute even if it was to deliver a telegram. the owner of the house could be held, for we believed that the body of the boy was every bit as sacred and should be kept as clean as the body of a girl Two people cannot join to sell boot leg whislley,. and two people cannot joH to sell worthless stock but in this state two people, a man and a girl, can join for Illicit purposes and there can be no redress. Should there not be some change in the legislation re- garding the young people?'
