WARNING ISSUED
 BY RICHARDSON
Says Beware Of Batteries Of
 Unknown Make

Mir. Richardson of the Live Wira Battery Service, issues this warning to me torist&:
 Beware of buying unknown bat tries" ~o'79e-
 Mir. Richardson says, "When manu- facturer succeeds in producing a high quality product that fulfills a demand of the consumer there are always small people trying to counterfeit the prod uct. Some of them even go so far as to put the name of a similarly sounding name on the counterfeit and sell it as the original make.
 This may be a sincere form of flat tery, but it means a loss to the pur- chaser. The man who really suffers is the man who buys it. The manufacturer puts on such a quantity of his own make that he will not feel the loss of the sale of which this counterfeit robs him.
 'grhe only sure place to buy a bat tery is from a recognized dealer. This dealer will give you service and expert advice which will keep your battery in service as long as it is economical. By all means buy an advertised bat tery whether it be a Prest-O-Lite or any other we'll known one. By doing this you buy a battery of high quality and you assure yourself of dependable service.

QUICK TIME IN
 GOOD MAXWELL
Meyer Makes Trip From
 New York In 72 t Hours

Mir. Henery Meyer of the Lynch Jewelry company and a happy owner of a Good Maxwell Club coupe, has just driven his car from New York city to { Birmingham; making the entire trip of 1,425 miles in 72 hours.
 Mir. Meyer was thoroughly sold on -the Good Maxwell long before he ever dreamed of making this trip, but since the car made the wonderful perform anee of 1,425 miles in 72 hours, averag- s ing % miles to the gallon of gas, he is more thoroughly sold on his car than ever.
 The 72 hours not only included the actual driving time, but also two night stop overs. The first two days out, Mir. Meyer says that he covered o75 miles, which in itself is quite . record.
 The roads, Mir. Meyer states were in rather bad shape, and at Spartanburg, $. O., they encountered three miles of mud that went up over the hubs. This, however, did not stop his progress, while on the other hand, the party came across Ford touring car, of which the driver was just on the verge of abandoning. Using a tow chain, Mir. Meyer states that his Good Maxwell not only pulledSitseh out of the sea of mud, but brought the Ford out as well.
 Taking his car to the Dominick- Murphy Motor company for washing .and inspection, 1t was found that the car had made the trip without the least mishap to the engine or any part of the mechanism.
 Mir. Meyer says that for service and performance, he would mot give one Good Maxwell for any other two--four cylinder cars made--and he ought to know.

the motor itself. Slow cranking may also be caused by a partial short cir cult in the wire running from the bat tery to the starting motor.

FIGURES SHOW
 MOTORS INCREASE
Hupp Official Furnishes Some Very Interest
 ing Statistics

Figures just compiled by the Hupp Motor Car corpora ton show that auto mobile registrations in the United States have increased 1119 per cent in the last ten years, an average of more than 100 per cent over 1923 figures. They have risen from 1,24S, ,056. as of December 31. 1913, to 15,2Z2, ,65S on December 31, 1923.
 To Charles D. Hastings, president and general manager of the corporation, the chief reason for this marvellous growth is the fact that the automobile industry is the most conspicuous busi- ness that is today giving greater dollar value than ten years ago
 "A 1913 dollar today will buy III cents worth automobile" MT. Hast ings points out. But that is by no means all. It will buy motor car so far superior to the one of ten years ago that comparisons are almost impos- sible. The average dollar today will buy less than 65 cents worth of all other commodities based on 1923-14 prices.
 Tt is true that people have bought motor cars by the millions because they needed them. But they have also bought motor cars by the millions because the industry enjoyed their complete confidence.
 The growth of the automobile in- dustry has probably been unparalleled in the entire history of industry be- gwen the utmost value be- cause the men who head it have con sistently demanded that the public be cause profits have been subordinated to constantly better product. better serv. iced.
 Since the automobile became a re- alization approximately 25 years ago there has never been year when reg istrations have not grown. During the

If the starter refuses to show any signs of life when the pedal is pressed, the battery is dead or a wire has come off altogether, or the starting motor is out of order, or, finally, something is wrong in the switch.
 When the starting motor stalls with the switch closed, the battery IS very weak or there is short circuit. These are the most likely causes, but start ing motor out of order will cause this and so will loose or dirty connection. If the engine is frozen, from running without oil, this trouble will also be apparent.
 In cases where the starting motor spins idly with the switch closed, the best guess is that the pinion shaft is gummed with oil and should be washed with kerosene. I
 It is a fact that most troubles in the starting system are traceable to the battrey. Remember to keep the bat tery filled with distilled water, up to the indicated level. In cold weather filling once in two weeks will prob ably do this, but in summer the water should be added every week, Test the gravity, when you add water, using a hydrometer, which you can purchase for dollar in any accessory shop. If the specific gravity falls below 1.22, the battery needs recharge from an outside source. When the hydrometer shows 1.15 the battery is completely discharged.

NEW PEERLESS
 WELL RECEIVED
Six-Cylinder Model Given Enthusiastic Reception
 By Public

The enthusiastic reception given to the new Peerless Six has exceeded all expectations, according to D. A. Burke, newly elected president of The Peer less Motor Car company. M
 T have been in the automobile indus try for many years" said Mir. Burke, today, 'but have never known a car to be greeted with such enthusiasm.
 "We were confident that the Peerless Six would create something of a stir because we have been hard at work on its development for over two years and knew how it could perform. But we did not even hope for such an ova- tion."
 Mir. Burke reached into the drawer of his desk and produced a thick sheaf of telegrams. Picking one from the top, which happened to be from the Peer less distributor in Charlestown, w. Va, he read New Peerless Six has conquered steepest hills in our state and Ohio with ease. Few cars regardless of horsepower and number of cylinders can compare with it and in my opinion nothing ever produced excels. In this new Six you have everything desired, power, speed, flexibility, beauty and comfort. Orders mailed you today will show you what think of this car"
 We wish to express our great sat isfaction with both performance and looks of the new Peerless Six" read another one, from the Pittsburg dis tributor. Our dealer organization and sales force to a man are more than en- thusiastic. Our certified check is ready for trainload"
 Sweetest, smoothest six that ever got this far west" telegraphed the Los Angeles retail sales organization. Its a beauty, too. Sales force 100 per cent enthusiastic. When do we another ship mentY'
 These happen to be from our dis tributors and dealers," continued MT. Burke, but we have received many others from people who have bought Peerless Sizes, backing up tbe opinions of our sales organization to the limit.
 Our factory has been working day and night since April l, yet we are finding 1t impossible to keep pace with orders for the new car. It looks as though our manufacturing facilities would be taxed to the limit for some time to come. This is especially true since demands for the Peerless Eight are exceedingly satisfactory, to say the least" ,sS

same period the number of cars ac- tually produced and sold has been great CT each year than for the previous 12 months, except during the war year of 1918, and in, 1921, record that no other business in the world can come close to equalling, and one that speaks for itself concerning the industry's in tegrity.
 Today, notwithstanding the stock market skeptics and calamity bowlers whom the industry has surprised re- peatedly, more motor cars are being built and sold than ever before. This is because the industry is continuing to give the utmost value for the money and because the public, well able to buy. appreciates it.
 There isn't another business that can't learn considerable of value to it from the automobile industry"

AUTOS ON FARM

AutomobiIes on farms are used mainly for business purposes. The tour ing car is the most popular type of automobile with the farmers, as it can be used for all purposes, from hauling milk or feed to taking the children on Sunday picnies. The average price paid for small machines was $500 to $500 and for medium-sized machines from $85O to $1, ,250. Cost of operating touring cars, including depreciation, was between $200 and $500 a year.
 Gas and oil made up about 50 per cent of the cost. Few owners carried in suranee.

IN VIRGINIA

In rendering a verdict of $1,296 in favor of motorist whose self and car were injured as result of an unmarked obstruction on a public road, the supreme court of appeals of Virginia has established a precedent of interest to all motorists. According to the rul- ing the automobile driver has a right to presume that the highway at night Is in a reasonably safe condition unless warned accordingly. Most drivers, however, will proceed on the safer as- sumption that anything may happen.

 The starting system is entirely sep arate from the lighting system except that the two draw power from the same source, the storage battery. The starting system consists essentially of motor and a switch connecting it with the storage battery, plus the start ing system.
