YOU AUTO KNOW

That Il battery is never us cf.
ticient in cold weather as 1t is
in warni-- owing to I number OF
causes. In the first place, the bat
terry itself loses some Of it's
power when the temperature is
: lowered and fails to deliver as
much current, even when fully
charged. us it will during warm
er weather. In addition to this,
1t is more difficult for the self
starter 10 turn the engine over
when the latter is cold and an
extra strain is therefore placed
on the battery. Finally. cold
weather prCsuppOScS shorter
days and Il greater use OF light,
another factor which must be
taken into consideration
II is therefore well to pay par
ticular attention to the "heart"
of the car during the winter ana
particularly In The early spring
when its vitality is apt to be
quite low. Distilled water should,
or course, be added ut regular
ntcrvalS-weckly inspections OF
the watcrlcvel in the cells are
always ndvisable-nnd ut least
once Il year the entire battery
should be taken apart and the
sediment from the plates cleaned
out. If this is done in the spring,
the energy created during the
summer Will usually carry the
battery through the succeeding
winter without any trouble.

Cotton Conditions Better.

oouth Carolina cotton mills are now
working more employees than during
the corresponding period OF last year,
according to reports of the depara.
ment OF agriculture, factory inspection
division, for 1922. up through May.
fhe number Of employees in the mills
as announced by the inspectors is ST.
0Ol as compared with 5O,276 in June,
1921.
The general condition Of the mills
is reported to be good, the increase in
the employees indicating more work
and more products turned out. This
increase of 1884 employees over last
year was found despite the fact that
Is mills were closed when the inspec-
tions were made, 1t was announced
The report also shows that condi.
tions now, as regards employees, are
better than in either 1919 or 1921. In
1919 the number Of employees was 50.-
sos and In 1920 the number was ST.
42S.
White males employed in the mills
far outnumber all others with 33,S16
for 1922 as against 16,S43 white fe-
male3. The number Of negro men was
3,264 and the number Of negro won.
en- was 635 The number Of white boys
between the ages Of IA and 16 years
| was 1,193 and the number Of white
girls between the ages Of IA and Il
| was 1850 No negroes between tho
| ages OF II and 1G were employed il
| the mills, the report shows
An increase in the mills Of 4,79C
| males over last year is noted in the
| report and 1857 females as well as
81 negro men. These increases in
the number OF employees, the inspec.
tors believe, point to much better con.
ditions in the cotton mill industry in
South Carolina.

Huge Spruce Log Produces
10000 Feet of Lumber
tBy ASSOCIATED rress)

HOQUAIM, Wash, Feb 17-An
enormous spruce log 10 feet in diam
eter, believed the largest ever cut in
this section, recently was sawed into
5000 board feet of lumber. When
first put on the saw, the big log broke
the mill machinery and was not cut
until repairs were made.
Some time ago larger log was
brought here, but no mill would tackle
it, and it was placed in a Hoquaim
park for exhibition purposes.

GERMANY YIELDS,
 HOPING FOR LOAN
Wirth Accepts Allies Terms Expect ing Foreign Financial Assistance
 Meets With Opposition.

Berlin, May 2S.-The immediate prospect of an international loan ap- pears to have accelerated Germany's accepte nee of the terms laid down by 31. Although the nature, the volume and conditions under which foreign financial relief for Germany is likely to be forthcoming remain unannounc- cd, or are purely conjectural, it is evident that Chancellor Wirth's cabi- net was decisively influenced by the prospects of such loan, and on the strength of this succeeded in recon cling the coalition parties to yield support to the cabinet.
 Not since it's many conferences with the allies on separations began has the Wirth cabinet succeeded so well in keeping it's customary eleventh hour decisions from the knowledge of even the Reichstag leaders and the German press.
 It was almost mid-Saturday when the Foreign Relations Committee ad- journed after discussing with Dr. Wirth, Dr. Hermes, finance minister Walter Rathenau, minister of foreign affairs, and Robert M. Schmidt, minis ter of economics, the nature of the present arrangement with the Repar- ations Commission, although the chancellor early in the day had suc- ceeded in assuring himself of suffici- ent preliminary backing to warrant the cabinet in agreeing on the final draft of the note.

MORE COAL IS PRODUCED
Output fer Last Week Largest Since
 the Strike Began.

Washington, May 2S.-Reports from the bituminous coal fields still operat- ing in spite of the general mine strike showed a general and notable increase in production setting in last week, the Geological Survey reported today. For four successive days, in- cluding Thursday-the last reported cars loaded with new coal number ed more than 14,6OO, and on Tuesday the total was 15,025.
 The survey estimated this would give a total production of more than 5,000,000 tons for the week, compar- ed with high previous week, April 1, when the strike was called, of A. 5OO,OOO tons.
 "The increase is largely in response to higher prices and more active de- mand," the report said, calling into production mines which have been hitherto working only part time, in the districts not affected by the strike. To a much smaller extent the in- crease results from resumption of work in eastern Kentucky and south ern West Virginia.
