FORD CAR PRICE
REDUCTION WAS
GREAT SURPRISE
Detroit Factory Will Go
Full Blast This
Winter

The reduction in Ford prices of $50
on each model, which was announce od
on October II, has set the motor.
world agog According to the local
Ford dealers, this radical decrease il
prices was totally unexpected at this
time by the motoring fraternity.
In epite Of the record production OF
the Detroit factory at this season, the
.suo,r oI uatllcd 0fdcrs has been
constantly growing. Consequently, the
news of tho latest effort of, Henry Ford
TO garry cat his ayowed purpose ot fuc
nishing transportation units at thc low
est possible cost camo as a pleasant
surprise to many thousands of pros
pcctive Ford buyers.
"Thc prices of Ford cars and trucks
are now at the lowest mark in their
history says B. L. Graves, western
district manager for the Ford interests.
"Following out the usual Ford policy,
the new prices are based not on what
it costs to manufacture at this tiIre,
but on what it is expected the costs
will be several months from now. In
other words, Ford declines always pre-
cede rather than follow reduced manu-
featuring costs, and these reductions
are in turn justified by increased eff
cheney in production.

this publication reproduces several
automobile ads from magazines of 1905
and 1904, when the auto industry was
in its infancy and the owner of ear
was looked upon as a plutocrat.
The article in the magazine shows

lac side by side, the Ford emphasizing
the fact that the engine develops eight
horsepower and eliminates the vibra-
tion so noticeable in other machines
while the Cadillac boasts that it is
possible to remove the tonneau and
make the ear "smart' runabout,
also that all the seats face forward.
The Ford sold for 5000 complete with
tonneau or $500 as a runabout while
the Cadillac is listed at $3.50 with ton

The illustrations of the ears in the
advertisements show them to be with

HARVESTING OF

Careless Motorists and

That the harvest Of children s lives

crn California must stop is the grow
ing sentiment among tho municipalities
Of the southern and central counties
According to, officials Of the auto.
mobile Club Of Southern California
more drastic measures are now con.
templatcd to protect the children from
the rush Of careless niotorists--and to
protect motorists from the rush of
careless children.
Statistics show at the present time
that more and more children are pay
iHg the penalty Of playing in the roads
and streets than ever before in the
history of the west. In nearly all the
larger communities restrictive mea.
sures have been taken, but it is in the
enforcing Of these measures that the
greatest good is to be accomplished
Children are forbidden by law in
most instances to play ball of either
Kind in the city streets. II is also
generally prohibited to use coaster
in the streets or roads. Law usually
stops skaters or coasters trying to '!nir

some instances these laws are not be-
ing enforced, and the Autompbilc Club
is starting campaign to sec'that they

An appeal Of particular importance

that the parents instruct their chiI-
dren to do their playing in vacant lots

CALIFORNIA MAY !
LEAD in NUMBER
Of AUTOMOBILES
Tremendous Registration
Increase for 1922 May
i. Lead New York

California is breaking all records III
automobile registration, and 1t may
lead Ahcrica in its total this year
According to figures compiled by the
Automobile Club of Southern Calf
fornia it is shown that there are more
autos in California at this time than
there were. in New York on January
/ Of this year.
The registration for 1921 in New
York, which lead America last year,
was Sl2,031. The registration at the
present time in California is approx
mately S34,19 California was fourth
on the list of states for the number of
automobiles registered last year, but
there is a possibility that it will jump
to second place this year, and if eastern
states eliminate all "dcad' or defunct
numbers from their. registration total,
TAT. the end of the year, then California
may jump into first place. The regis
tration figures as issued in this state
contain no "dead' numbers.
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and of course
New York, were ahead of California
last year The total number of ears
registered in this state for 1921 was
673,830--an increase Of 157, 1862 autos in
less than ten months of the year.
The increase during 1921 over 1920
for California was only 104,93S. The
comparison of these figures is pointed
out by the Automobile Club as indi
cative of the tremendous increase il
ears for this state during 1922.

Increased Factory

Axle Invention,

BERKELEY, Oct. 90. - Increased
factory space to meet an ever growing
demand for its product has been found
necessary by the Ruckstell Sales &
Manufacturing Company, Berkeley, and
every provision has been made to take
care of the insistent and growing de
mand for the Ruckstell two-speed axle
for Fords, according to Mr. G. Il. Ruck-
stell, president of the Berkeley com
pany, and designing engineer of the
axle who has just completed an ex-
tensivo trip and survey of business
condito ons.
within relatively short space of
time said Mr.. Ruckstell yesterday,
-" The two speed axle for Fords has
won meritorious standing among
Ford dealers and owners. This axle
provides two more speeds than given
by the standard stock Ford; it conse-
quently adds new fleXibility i'll traf-

standard Ford does not negotiate easily

TELLS TREATMENT
/: OF AUTO BATTERY

The chemical changes which take
place in storage batteries are said to
be reversible The acid in the bat
terry solution acts upon the active ma
terials in the plates and electrical cur
rent is generated during the process
When electricity is passed into the
battery, the changes are reversed and
the acid in the plates is liberated and
returned to the solution while the
plates return to their original compost;
tion.
While the battery is dischargiug,
the active material of the positive
plate, originally lead peroxide, becomes
lead sulphate through combination with
some of the acid in the battery solu-
tion. The material of the negative
plate, spongy lead, becomes lead sui
phate in the same way. The solution
becomes weaker in acid by this process
as is shown by the lowered density
when tested with Il battery hydrometcr.
Lead sulphate on the plates has a
greater volume than the lead peroxide
or spongy lead formerly thyre, and
forms /; layer of inert material over
the remaining active material. Thus
the weakening battery solution cannot
penetrate the sulphate to reach more
unchanged active materials and the
battery becomes less active and its
voltage lower.
In recharging a battery, direct cur
rent must be passed through the cells
in a direction opposite to that of dis
charge. During this period, the lead
sulphate on the positive plate is re
converted into lead peroxide, and the
lead sulphate on the negative plate is
reconverted into sponge lead. The
eicctrolyte gradually increases in dens
ity and at the end of the charge will
be of the same strength as before the
discharge.
The Willard Storage Battery Com
pany, Cleveland, with most other ma
tionally known storage battery manu-
facturers, always urged that no cthei
substances of any kind be placed. in
Il lead sulphuric acid battery. The
proper chemicals have been placed in
these batteries by authorized service
stations. None of these chemicals are
lost through use or evaporation and
but distilled water should be
added by their users.
During the period from February
to July 81, 1922, 708,097 motor vehicles
were registered in California, as com
