About Your Battery.

Perfunctory attention to the battery
Is gradually resulting in ignorance
of its construction and operation. Car
owners add water to the cells-when
they happen to think about it-but
seldom know exactly why they are
obliged to do so. A man who has
driven cars for six years still does
not know why he should not fill the
cells above a certain point.
So, cut out this brief summary of
the important points and tack them
up on the garage wall for future ref
erence.
Water must be added to the cells
because it is the water content of the
electrolyte solution which evaporates,
not the acid
When drawing solution out Of a
battery for hydrometer reading al
ways return 1t to its proper cell. I'm
less this is done the strength of the
electrolyte in the various cells will
naturally vary.
Casing of the electrolyte will cause
cell to overflow when being charged
if too much distilled water is poured
in.
You add water before using the car
or run the engine awhile after do
ing the job-so that the chemical &C
tion will be started and the battery
strengthened.

Two Traffic Tricks.

If. while waiting at a crossing for
the stop-go sign to be turned in your
favor. you fear that the engine may
stall, let 1T run fast. but evenly. Don't
race 1t periodically. This gives the
off1cer the impression that you are i'm
patient, and he'll be inclined to give
all other traffic preference.
when steering sharply in order to
avoid hitting something always apply
the brakes at the same time. Steering
can be used as a safety measure, but
don't depend upon 1t. Stopping and
steering combined will produce best re-
suits.

nuisance which will shortly be classed
with glazing headlights. When a heav-
lily nickeled car is facing the sun the
reflections from it are frequently suf-
ficient to temporarily dazzle the ap-
preaching driver. If the nickel is kept
highly polished-as it must be in order
to look right-the effect is much the
same as though mirror were catching
the rays Of the afternoon sun and re-
f1ectfng them into the eyes of the on
coming drivers. Windshields and head
lights cause enough glare without add
amount of nickel. A little nickel goes
long ways-toward identifying the
car. simplifying the work of polishing
the trimmings and safeguarding the
driver who is easily affected by glare.

explanation is that for the starter

peak of 400 amperes may be drawn
from the battery with a fall of volt

cable and its length. A loss in watt

MOTOR VEHICLES IN
 STATE ARE GAINING
Registrations Now Average Al.
 most One Thousand a Day

Startling increases in tho Connect
 cut motor vehicle registration lists are reported from the state capito
 offices, where nearly 1000 registra' tions day arc being issued to pros pectlve motorists. The department oi motor vehicles states that the num- her of pleasure and commercial auto mobiles registered at the close of business last week was larger than !, the figures on the same day last year by nearly 23,000.
 The 100000 mark has been passed | in Connecticut registration figures and the markers, now being issued, are well along in the six figure class, Up until April ? there have been issued to owners of pleasure and commercial cars total of 105,025 licenses for 1928. Of this number 20,4l have been issued for use after April 1. The 1o5,o25 figure is divid- ed into S2,756 pleasure cars and 22,- 269 commercial cars. Only 2,s5o commercial markers have been is- sued for April 1 use. The other IT, 455 are pleasure cars.
 A comparison of the 1928 figures with those of last year shows that a high water mark has been reached in the registration lists in Connecti- cut. The present figure tops that of any April in the history of the de- partment and is equal to the total registration figure on May 5. 1922.
 In spite of the wintry blasts that still blow about the state, motorists are clamoring to get out licenses for new cars and for cars that have been stored during the winter. The rec ord registration figures seem to point out that there will be an upprece- dented number of cars travelling about the city streets and country highways this spring and summer.
 On Saturday the main and branch offices of the department remained open the entire day for the conven- fence of those who were unable to get out licenses on Good Friday. A record amount of business was re- ported by those in charge of the vari- ous offices. At the Hartford windows nearly 1,500 licenses were distributed. and total of over 5000 were given out at the other office windows.
 On Monday another rush was eH- dent at the distributing centers, where between 2.500 and 5000 state cus- toners were cared for. Since then the crowds have gradually been di- but still as unusual num- Der of registrations and operators li- censes are being issued each day.
 Already the department of motor vehicles reports that total of close to $3,000,000 has been received from operators licenses, and fines. This amount is much greater | than the income for a similar period | In any other year. Last years in- come for the first three months was but little over s2.1so.Ooo, and even that was an increase of 57 per cent over the 1921 income.

RAINS ARE GENERAL
Roads in Bad Condition Following
Continuous Showers.

Rains of the last two days, ac-
cording to kilograms and cards being
received hourly at the highway depart
ment of the Chamber of Commerce,
have closed most of the main arteries
of automobile travel in this part OF
the state.
On the Kings Trail TO Corpus
Christi, W. II. Furlong, director OF
the department said Tuesday, between
the Bexar county line and Floresville
two loaded trucks have turned over in
the ditch and five ears are stuck in
the mud. The terrible condition of this
stretch of road, he said, is the result
of construction work now going on III
Wilson county. Beyond Floresville
the road is fair with the exception
of n stretch close TO Kennedy which is
also under construction.
Between San Antonio and Houston
over the .. 5. T., he said, the road
is very heavy this side of Gonzales.
Reports received from East Bernard
and Rosenberg are to the effect that
it has rained for sixteen hours without
a halt and is still raining. The roads
there are impossible, and all travel
has been suspended.
In the vicinity of Uvalde on the
o. S. L. it is reported that there
has been three and one-half inches of
rain in the last two days, making the
road impossible. Four and one-half
inches have fallen at Cotulla on the
road to Laredo, and the advice is be-
ing given to defer travel in that direc-
ton.
To Junction City and Kerrville, ac-
cording to reports, the road is good
with the exception of little stretch
north of Center Point. This. however,
can be crossed with chains. The h.
L to Dallas is also good except at
one place near Taylor where it is
heavy and where chains will beNneces-
sary.
Mr.. Furlong is keeping in touch
with points on all of these highways.

JAP STAND PROTESTED
Chinese Hold Meetings; Decry Treaty
Abrogation Refusal.
BY the Associated Press.

Pekin. March 27.-Several hundred
students, merchants and laborers, de-
spite heavy showers. last night, held
open air meetings and marched
through the streets as protest
against the refusal Of Japan to abro-
gate the 1915 treaty concerning the
leasehold of the Wang Tung peninsula.
Dispatches from Shanghai report
that the Chinese merchants met there
and proposed japanese boycott in
retaliation for Japan's attitude in the
retrocession of the Chinese territory.
A number of the members of the
Chinese parliament last week tele-
graphed the various provinces urging
the people to organize manifestations
for March PC, the day on which the
old leases of Dairen and Port Arthur,
and Kwang Tung peninsula expired.
Mass meetings were recommended to
afforC an opportunity for lectures of
protest against Japan's insistence in
continuing the 1915 treaty based on
the famous "21 demands"
The treaty in question renewed the
japanese leases on the peninsula for
so years.

Our purpose is to make Gebhardt
