FOUR THINGS

One OF tho most frequent queries
the service station men receives-and
a lot of them are propounded to him
every day by perDlexed MOTORISTS
How long will n battery last?"

not answer your question definitely.
so 1t is not surprising that even
battery specialists arc unable to tell
accurately how long a battery will
last. 1t is a fact that sometimes an
exceptional battery Will function for
as long as ten years. but the battery
that lasts for only a couple Of months
is likewise an exception.

determine battery life. They are use,
time. care and the quality Of tho

There are 81 road camps and sprinkl-
ing stations. During the summer 107
miles OF road are sprinkled twice daily
at hours which cause the least incon-
v%enience to travel. Equipment in
cludes two motor-driven and is horse
drawn sprinkling wagons.
Roads maintained are 29s miles
within the park and SIS outside.
There are about $50 men engaged
in the upkeep of park improvements

About 1900 men and women are in

added TO the fleet this season, and
the older cars all nave been thoroughly
overhauled and painted during the
winter. The big fleet was modified
at Mammoth Hot Springs last week

cars being assigned to the various
routes.
All the big hotels of the Yellow

hotels are situated at Mammoth Hot

lions have been made at the Lake
Hotel, where there are 119 additional

Another discovery of vital Import

which have made n careful study OF
the automobile industry estimate that
