greater than is reasonable and pro-
per, having due regard to the traf-
fie, surface and width of the high
way on which he finds himself.
Severe penalties will follow an
infraction of this section of the new
law, say state authorities, and the
Automobile club warns motorists to
become thoroughly acquainted with
it.
Under the new motor vehicle act,
the following speed limits are pre-
scribed, and there is no joke about
these prescriptions either, say club
officials:
You must drive at fifteen or less
miles per hour in all business dis
tricts; at obstructed railway cross
ings; at highway intersections
where the driver S view is obstruct;
ed; and in passing schools when
persons are entering or leaving the
grounds.
In the residence district the speed
limit is twenty miles per hour. I'm
der conditions other than those
mentioned, the speed limit is thirty
five miles per hour. All of these
apply to night as well as in the day
time. ,.--

Watch Battery
In Hot Weather,
Experts Advice

Hot weather, just like extremely
cold weather, is danger period in
the life Of any storage battery un-
less proper care is given it. So
warn the FL Centre Willard service
station dealer.
''Summcr weather is probably
the most dangerous time the bat
terry must past through because
the automobile is used more dur
ing this period. This is the time
when overheating a battery is likely
to happen, said Mr.. Kendall
I" Motorists are prone TO forget
or neglect keeping the battery filled
with pure distilled water in hot
weather Evaporation Of the water
IN the solution in the battery dur
ing hot weather is rapid. If the
level of the water is permitted to
reach a point below the tops Of the
plates, the upper portion is left
exposed and useless. The covered
portion of the plates are then
obliged TO assume the extra burden
Of the useless portion This causes
rapid oyerheating and damage not

in considerable expense later.

New speed limit regulations gov
rrning motorists on California high
ways will 90 into effect September
l. And they put Il new angle on
reckless driving, according to Off
cials of the Automobile Club of
Southern California.
In the first place, the law de-
clares it a crime for any person to
drive any vehicle on Il public high
way at such a speed as to endanger
the life, limb or property Of any
person. Even if the autoist is
driving at speed less than that
prescribed by the law, but in such
a manner as TO cndanger the lives
of others, he will be due for pro
secutiOn.
This is the "joker" in the new
speed regulations; that the speed
mad motorist who is "hound -
for obeying the letter of the law
but fails to uphold its spirit, will
get jumped ON.
1t does not make any difference
if the motorist did not intend to
injure anyone. Under the new law,
he is "a criminal if he fails to drive
at careful and prudent speed un-
der all circumstances.
The motorist is required by the
new motor vehicle act to drive ut Il

mend plenty of pure water. Apply
this same advice to Il battery and
il will do its work properly.
Causes of overheating
"Oyerheating of battery may
result from am unaercharged con
dition continuing for sometime.
This starved condition may be due
to the inexperience or lack Of know
ledge on the part Of the driver,
who does not use judgment in oper-
ating his lights, or who uses the
starter oftener than necessary.
"When undercharged for some
time, plates become hardened and
offer greater resistance to the
charging current. If therefore a
ear with starved battery is taken
on Il long run, the normal charging
rate will produce intense heat in
the battery to such an extent that
the plates will buckle. If the bat
terry were in a normal healthy CON
ditiou this would not occur.

Reduction in Coal Rate to
State Insane Hospital Will
Be Obtained ,

The state railroad commission to-

proved contentious made by the state
board of. administration which en-
deayored to secure lower rate on
coal to the state insane hospital,
near Jamestown. A saving Of sew
eral thousand dollars year will re-
suit to the state, it is said.
The state board sought to have pub
lished joint rates on coal passing to
Midland Continental from the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
ways. The Midland Continental, stat
ing it was a Class B road with a
higher unit Of operating expenses,
asked that the division of the rate
be 33 1-2 per cent minimum to it,
this division obtaining on coal re
ceived on its lines from the Milwau-
kee and 500 roads. The state con-
tended this division was too great,
| and the Northern Pacific asked 25
per cent division to the Midland.
In making the division the rail
road commission, fixed a fiat rate of
45 cents per ton to the Midland Con-
tinental for hauling coal over its
lines, when received ut jamestown
or Wimbledon junction, The -ligrite
rate on the Midland ontinental now
is 81 cents from jamestown to the
