More than three ,montlis have
elapsed since the Washington Con
ference on Armament Limitation
and far eastern affairs passed into
history and yet the treaties growing
out of the three months of discus
sion at the international confer.
cncc called by President Harding
are not entirely out of the woods.
The treaties do not become effective
until all Of the Sfgnatory powers
have ratified them and deposited
their ratilications in Washington
and so far only two Of the nine
powers participating in the confer
cnce have taken such action.

The court Of international justice
has been thrown open TO the entire
world when the council Of the
League of Nations decided Russia,
Germany, Turkey. Hungary and
Mexico could bring cases before
the court, provided they previously
had agreed to accept its decisions
and not declare wan over the dis
putcS in quetion. These nations
were the only ones to which the
court had not previously been avail
able fer the settlement of disputes.

BOYS PRINTING PLANT.

The move of the State Board Of
Control last year to expand the
printing plant of the West Virginia
Industrial School for Boys, former
ly known as the State Reform
School, at Pruntytown, Taylor coun
ty, has been so successful that still
further expansion is now almost a
certainty, according to members Of
the board. For many years a small
printing plant has been maintained
but recently it was decided to in
crease the size Of the printing plant
introduce modern equipment and
give more boys the opportunity of
Tearing the printing trade.
The latest development seems TO
be the intention TO take on the print
ing of such things as the State auto
mobile licenses and similar work.

WANT SOUTHERN ROUTE fms1.

- IL. Lilly ,OI tne Sum-
mers county court, was in Beckley
this week in conference with mem
oers OF the Raleigh county court in
an effort to have them Join with
SCnmers county in move To en-
JON the State Road Commission
from building the northern route OF
the CharleSton-Whitc Sulnhur
Springs road. The chambers of
commerce OF Hinton and Becklev
are interested in the move and are
lending their support TO it. 1t is
stated that here will be no difficulty
IN securing the support and aid
OF every lawyer Of the two coun--
ties, and that failing to secure in
junction proceedings. mandamus
forcing the designation of the
southern route as the first one to
be built will be attempted.
Iafe grounds for the proposed
action are found in the constitution
al amendment on good roads pass
ed ny an enormous popular ma
Iority at the last general election.
That amendment reads, in effect.
that the proposed system of State
highways must first connect the
county seats, so far as possible, and
that thereafter the roads beween
oher points shall be given consid-
Grafton. With the constitution as the
basis for the suit. the local people
who are behind the move feel that
there is little doubt but that it will
result in tile construction of the
road Between Fayetteville, Beck
ley. Hinton, Anderson, Ronceverte,
and Lewisburg before the northern
route reaching the same destina--
tion is built.
The situation briefly is this: 4
road is going to be built The con-
Seltution says that the roads must
iTst connect aS many county-scats
as possiblcI Between Charleston
and White Sulphur Springs the com
mission proposes to build a road
touching al Montgomery, Gaulcy
Bridge, Raincllc and LewiSburg.
Passing through Kanawha, Fayettc
and Grcenbricr counties and rum
ming right by the doors of Raleigh
and Summers, it would not touch
a single county seat except at its
starting point and at it's destination
The contention of the residents Of
the last two countiec named in that
they are entitled under the con-
stitutional provision for which
they voted to road leading thru
their county seats. If they read
the constitution Alright they are en-
titled 10 SUCH road and the State
Road Commission, they think, is
perpetrating fragrant violation of
the law to proceed on the northern
route until the southern road is
built. The action is prospect will
If brought at all, probably be en-
tered jointly. The mandamus pro-
cecding would compel the construc-
ton Of the road thru Hinton, and
the injuctiCn would prevent the
construction of the northern route
until the other is built. Legal ad--
vice is not lacking. Every lawyer
in Summers and Raleigh counties
seem anxious to lend his services.
While not sure of the construction
that may be given the law by the
higher courts, there seems TO be
little doubt that the position is JUS

thing the back alley builders do
not care to do.
Once you possess a good battery
the next thing to do is to give 1t the
care 1T deserves. All you have to do
is to add distilled water once each
week in summer and once every two
weeks in winter, or at such inter-
walls as found necessary to keep the
cells filled to level. Aside from this
simple procedure see to 1t that the
terminals are clean and tight and
the battery as a unit is mounted
solidly in place. If white or green
deposit appears on one of the ter
minais little or no current will flow
into or out of the battery. Discon-
meet the terminal and scrape off the
deposit. wipe the terminal dry and
cover with . light coat of grease or
vaselIne.
Distilled Water Only
Never add anything but distilled
water. There are some garages and
even battery service stations that
will try to sell you some special cleo
trolyte to revive" the battery. These
special solutions should not be used,

pany, local Peerless dealers, have

tory that there will be no decline in
Peerless prices between this time

Is expected that an increase in price
will be announced some time shortly
after the first of the year.
One of the contributing causes of
the expected increase in price of the

President Greer College of Autome-
tive Engineering


If you wnt to obtain low cost of
battery service on your car you must
do three things: You must have a
standard battery, you must SEQ that
it is serviced properly and you must
give it a certain amount OF attention
yourself.
II you consider the cost OF bat
terry and the work it has to do you
will readily realize that 1t needs ex-
actly the care that you give the en-
CINE.
There are now on the market more
than 100 different makes of storage
batteries. Out of this number a
good percentage are virtually worth
less when compared with top-notch
batteries made by responsible con-
Germs. The worthless ones are some
time called back alley batteries
because they are made in barns. gar
ages and shops that have no recog-
nition. 1t does not take any partic-
ular skill or experience to make such
batteries. The plates are purchased
from one source, boxes, jars and cleo
tro1yte from others, and so the parts
are put together and the resultant
called storage battery.
Gets "stuck. Either Way
II the parts were properly made
and correlated a good battery could
be produced, but sucn n battery
would then have to sell at such a
stiff price as compared with the re-
putable makes that the alley
builders could not compete. So the
motorist is asked to buy these put
together batteries at low price,
sometimes at a high price. It does
not matter much about the price.
for the motorist gets stuck" either
way.
II you need a battery, buy one made
b. a reputable firm. That does not
necessarily mean a large manufac-
turer who advertises his wares all
over the country. because there are
many smaller battery makers who
haven't the distribution nor tho ad-
vertising volume. The battery bust
ness is one that must be studied in
order to produce good unit at low
