During the winter months the load
imposed upon the battery is increased
on account of temperature, early
darkness, etc.
It IS well for the car owner to

Early darkness means from two to

Along with this we use our cars
less for pleasure riding or touring
during the day, therefore, there is
less chance of restoring the necessary
charge to battery to take care of
this added service. 1t is obvious then
that higher charging rate is de-
sirable to take care of this condition,
unless your battery was over charg-
ing during the summer.

BISHOP DANIEL S. FUTILE

The Right Reverend Daniel Sylves- ter Futile, who died yesterday in St. Louis, was reputed to be the oldest Anglican bishop in point of service in the world. For prelate of eighty-six, who was brought up under the relig- ious beliefs and observances of the Forties, to head his church and to keep his leadership in an age noted for its changes, even in religion, denotes a breadth of vision seldom associated with strict orthodoxy. One who now adays has attained the age of eighty six has lived through more history and has perceived more human advance and development than occurred in any previous five centuries of earth's his tory. Bishop Futile was renowned and respected by all who knew him, whether personally or by reputation. He dignified his position and lived worthily, which is sufficient epitaph for any man, be he prelate or layman of whatever degree.

TRADERS oUTWIT DIPLOMATS

The Europeans may produce the best diplomats, but America surely breeds the best traders. While the diplomats have been disputing over Mosul oil properties and exclusive con- sessions in Mesopotamia, American business strategists have been busy with the Turkish government, and, if reports be true, have taken out the richest slice of the Turkish pie. Some time ago the Standard Oil Company was reported to have obtained foot
 hold in Mosul, and now comes the news that an American company has secured direct from the Turkish gov ernment permission to construct five thousand kilometers of railway and exclusive right to develop oil and other resources within twenty kilometers on each side of the right of way, and au- thority to revive agriculture and re- build Angora. The proposition is said to involve about two hundred million dollars, very extensive program con. sidering the backward state of devel
 opment in the territory concerned.
 It appears that neither the alench railway concession nor the British oil concession was ever ratified by the Turkish parliament. Thus the diplo- mats have been overreached by the traders, and concessions that were of decided political complexion have been relegated to the realm of pure business where they belong. The Brit ish and French governments will how not be able to take advantage Of the strategic position originally given " the mandate authority to gain Tor their nationals preferential considera- tion in Turkish concessions. Thus, without any connivance on the part of our government, our nationals have won for themselves the equality of op

The country wants prosperity.

The country wants prosperity. It has prosperity and it is satisfied with prosperity. It has no imitation and it wants none. More and more America is assuming the rightful position that there is room here for every fit man wishing to make this his home and be- come a real American, but there should not be opportunity for a single unfit to come over here and become a men ace. Moreover, America wants not men who come here to earn wages ana carry their pile back to Europe, but men who desire to reside here perma- nently, found homes here and raise families. That is safe immigration and the kind for which Americans are everywhere showing pronounced pre- ference.

On the contrary, it rather rejoices that there steady job at good wages for all Americans and that there is not an extra army of aliens here to hasten the day when there will net be so many. jobs at these good wages. They would rather spread this production over longer period with fewer idle men at it's inevitable expiration than hurry to it's end by bringing over hordes who would but hasten a period of unemployment and add to the army of the unemployed.

SEEKING PUBLIC JUSTICE

Although the court has ruled against ~tha Public Service Commission on its motion to dismiss the injunction against examination of the Mobile Gas Company's books for the purpose of adjusting the valuation for rate-mak- ing purposes, the commission is still trying to serve the public interest in this matter. The latest move is an at tempt 10 set aside the present valua- ton and to start anew. The essential injustice of the law, recently amend ed, was that only the utility had the right of appeal from valuation, and
