DOPE INJURIOUS
TO CAR BATTERY
Normal Way Is to Pass Current
Of Electricity Through 1t
and Avoid Injury.

tPy ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege OF Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
In the old days. gasoline economic
ers were quite In style with the get
rich-uuick fiends They were much
more common than they are now. One
could buy them in powder, paper. tab
let or liquid form and probably admin
lister them in homeopathic or allopath-
ic doses-for the effect was just the
same.
AS long as the car owner was very
careful to have the carbon removed
from the engine cylinders. the valves
ground and the carburetor adjusted
and then apply the so-called econo-
mizer to the fuel tank, he was certain
to get greater mileage per gallon of
gasoline. And no wonder!
Sold as Mysterious Compounds.
The same thing applies to the pres
ent-day storage battery "reiuvenators,"
"recharging solutions" and what not
that are being sold as mysterious com
pounds and wonderful discoveries
which recharge your storage battery
In twenty minutes. Any battery serv-
ice station can do the same thing by
doping a. battery with strong acid, but
they know the harmful effects of such
treatment
The surprising thing is the willing
ness of many people to pay fabulous
prices, three to FIVE dollars being asked
for a single application Of these
"dopes" when most storage battery
service stations would do the same
thing for 25 cents.
Normal Mode Of Operation.
There is nothing mysterious about
pouring strong acid solution into a dis
Charged battery and having it operate
in twenty or thirty minutes afterward.
Any service station can do that. but
the normal way to recharge battery
Is to pass current of electricity
through 1t and avoid lnjuring it or
shortening its life. The quick way Is
to- pay three to five dollars for about
25 cents worth of strong acid-and
suffer the consequences.
