LIFE OF BATTERY
DEPENDS ON CARE
Unusual Demands Made on
Battery Will Shorten
Its Life.

Asking how many months a bat
terry will last is like asking how
many months a pair Of shoes will
last. The maker. or his agent can
only answer that II Is wear, tear
and care that count. but at the
same time he will lay special stress
on the care" Manufacturers of
the storage battery 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.
II a person makes unusual de-
mands upon a battery he will prob
ably reduce its life by a few months
but with all other things equal he
will have attained a satisfactory
mileage. Consequently cost per
mile in such a case Is as fair a basis
for comparison as cost per month.
What does time do to your bat
terry? Going back to the shoe argu-
ment. II you bought a new pair,
wore them a couple OF weeks and
then left them off. exposed to every
condition for a length of time, they
would deteriorate. In fact, you
would discover that they had been
wearing themselves out. It's the
same with a battery.
Care comes next. The battery is
something not only to use, but to
use up You provide your car with
electricity for starting, lighting and
ignition by using up the battery.
The battery is not an inexhaustible
supply of electricity, but it is a
boxful of electricity-m ingre-
dients and these ingredients must
be restored as used or the supply
will give out. The best protection
is to refill the cells with water, re-
charge the battery regularly, pref
erably at a service station, and
make tests of the battery every two
weeks. Such care will guard AGAINST
sudden and perhaps costly break
down.

Man is Dead After
Missing 7 Years,
Couft Says )

Upon the theory that when .
man 10 ynissing for seven years IL
can be presumed that he is no
longer living, the District SUI
preme court was asked yesterday
by Mrs. Margaret O'Neill to judi
cially decree Daniel O'Neill dead.
The missing man was formerly
employed by the Panama Canal
Commission and left the District
in 1914 TO join the Canadian
army. Shortly after this, IL Is
believed, he went overseas and
into action and no word has been
received Of him by his wife since
that time,
Through Attorney Raymond
Neudecksr the wife asked that a
decree be passed granting her let
tiers Of administration on his es-
tate. It is said his, estate con-
sists solely Of q life insurance
policy payable to- his wife. II IL
set forth in the petition that
O'Neill expressed the opinion be-
fore leaving home that the
United States should have en-
tered the world war shortly after
the declaration of war by Ger
many against England, and he
left home in order to join some
military expedition of the allies.
O'Neill was born in 1871, the pc
tition stated, and made his home
in Washington for many years
before disappearing in 1914.
