LESSON IN GENTLE BRAKING
No Quicker or Certain Way Of Sending
Tire to Junkman Than to Stop
With Jerk.

Apply the brakes considerably and
the car will soon show Its gratitude,
because gentle brake application re-
duces the strain on tires, wheels,
springs and other parts. If the
brakes are applied with full force at
least one, II not both rear wheels are
likely to lock, and in sliding along the
ground noticeable amount Of rubber
is scraped from the tire at the point
where 1t contacts with the ground.
There IL no quicker nor more certain
way of sending tires quickly to rub
bish heap or the junkman. Harsh
brake application wears the brake lin
ing unduly and pulls and racks the
whole car. Much greater economy will
be obtained and much less trouble will
be experienced If the brakes are used
a. Sparingly as possible.

PROPER CARE OF
MOTOR BATTERY
corroded Terminals Are FIRE.
quentIy Source Of Trouble,
Says Prof. BrokaW.
FLOW OF CURRENT RETARDED
After corrosion Has Formed Best Way
to Get Rid Of II 10 to seraps the
Terminate Until There 10
Bright Lead Finish.

Corroded terminals are the chief
source Of battery trouble, according
to H. Clifford Brokaw, technical direc-
tor of the West Side Y. NJ. @. A. Auto
mobile schools. He explains that
occasionally the self-starter will not
work while the lights, horn and ignl
tion operate smoothly.
"This condition may be traced" he
adds, ito corroded or poorly fitting
battery terminals which will only al
low sufficient amount Of current to
pass to operate the lights and horn.
AS the starting motor takes larger
amount Of current, the resistance may
be great enough to prevent it from
operating.
To Remove corrosion.
"Corrosion is formed by the action
of the electrolyte or acid In the bat
terry. After 1t has formed, the most
satisfactory way to get rid of 1t Is to
scrape the terminals until there is
bright lead finish. Washing the ter
minals with ammonia or some other
alkaline solution will neutralize any
acid that may be present and prevent
corrosion. When such washing is
done, care should be taken that none
Of this solution gets into the battery.
after the terminals have been
scraped and the parts assembled, care
should be taken to see that the ter
minals make contact for the full area
Of their surface. A firm and full con-
tact is required to supply the amount
Of current for the starting motor.
Some motorists coat the terminals
with vaseline or other grease TO pre-
vent the acid from coming in contact
with the joint.
Lights Burn Out Entirely:
"If the corrosion becomes too great,
or II the contact from any other rea-
son becomes poor, the lights are apt
to fare up to excessive brightness. and
II the contact is 80 poor that no cur
rent can pass or II the wire should
become disconnected from the bat
terry, the lights will burn out entirely
In most systems. This is because the
generator which charges the battery
Is designed to deliver sufiicient cur
rent to charge the battery at low
speed, and when the engine is speed
cd up 1t will deliver more than Is nec-
essary. The system Of regulating
the voltage in most cases Is such that
the battery plays en- important part
in keeping the voltage from rising to
a point where 1t will burn out the
lights and damage other parts.
Casually about the only attention a
battery requires Is to keep the plates
covered with an electrOlyte by adding
distilled water. Water containing
minerals might damage the battery or
at least Interfere with Its proper ac-
tiOn."

Photooraphic Hint.

The ordinary Photographic plate,
which Is not color sensitive, is really
blind to certain colors. These colora
are reds, yellows and green's. The re.
suit is that all are rendered black In
the print. Suppose one wanted to pho.
tograph shawl with design in
black, red, yellow, and green. The or
dinary plate would render these col
ors almost all the same. In the pic
ture 1t would be difficult to say where
the red ended and the yellow began.
But by using color-sensitive plate
and a color filter on the lens. the diff
ferences would be shown and the de
sign would be clear.

YOU AUTO KNOW

That ordinary soap should not
be used on the highly polished
surface of the body Of the car,
because soap usually contains
free alkali or lye which enables
1t to cut the dirt and grease
loose. but, at the same time, In
jures the vanished surface and
wears of the attractive gloss
which is the pride Of the new car
owner.
The best method Is to use
hose alone, removing the nozzle
SO that the flow of water comes
out slowly and does not tear the
grit against the gloss of the car.
II hose Is not available, a large
sponge and pail Of water may
be used, but care should be
taken to rinse the sponge after
practically every stroke. in order
to avoid scratching the finish.

Is Marriage a
Failure?
Yes and No,

Yes and No.
The written volumes answering
this question may be concentrated
into three words; yes and no. The
same question may be asked about
business. war. government, life it,
self, with the same answer. The
question simply mires us in rela-
tiVity; it depends on what is called
failure.
Most marriages contain elements
of both failure and success. Ar
apparently successful marriage may
be marred by a vital defect: a
single redeeming feature may make
an exceptional success of an appar.
ent failure. 1t is largely a cues
tion of viewpoint; a marriage for
material considerations only may
be regarded as successful il the
object desired is attained; witness
the fair proportion of apparently
successful marriages in France,
where interested third parties make
the selection; sentiment is second
ary. Our marriages based on SEN
tment, are more likely to unite
well mated souls. but are often fail
ures because vital material considera-
tions are overlooked
Again. a marriage may be unsuc-
cessful for a period. then the whole
complexion Of affairs changes and the
union becomes successful. This may
come through acquisition-or loss-of
fortune. death, or removal of interfer-
ing third parties, change of conduct
of husband or wife. etc.
The vital question for the indi-
yiduai to ask is with refereD,a e.
his own case: Will a certain uniJn
prove successful, and in what way?
II a girl marries for a second home,
and gets 1t. will she waive other
considerations, or will she, after
acquiring the man and the home,
begin complaining of spiritual or So
cial wants ungratified? will a
young man, after marrying a girl
for her looks, be willing to forego
such qualities as industry, frugality,
intellect? ''->-
Usually when a girl places her
case before her mother the latter, In
conscientious affection. reviews the
matter as she sees II; then, because
unable to. foresee the future. advises
the daughter to let her own heart
decide; the issue Is lodged from sheer
helpiessness. The parent who takes
a positive stand for or against a GER
tain union often lives to regret It.
The marriage question is as certain
Of progress toward solution as are
those Of labor and capital, prohibition,
poverty and wealth. The American
and French revolutions and our civil
war wrought no more distinct changes
