Life of Battery
Is Dependent on
Its Use and Care

One of the most frequent queries
the service station man receives
and a lot of them are propounded to
him every day by perplexed motor
ists-is, elbow long will a battery
last?"
"To ask such a question is just
like asking the doctor how long
you will Iive,' states H. E. Ken
dali of Kendall Brothers, local Will
lard dealers. He would tell you
that if you ate simply, got pleAty
of sleep and exercise and did lot
of other things, you might live to a
ripe old age,i barring accidents and
provided there was nothing origin
ally wrong.
$50. it is not surprising that even
battery specialists are unable to tell
accurately how long battery will
last. 1t is Il fact that sometimes
an exceptional battery will function
for as long at ten years, but the bat
terry that lasts for only couple of
months is likewise an exception. q.
"But by this | do not mean that
a motorist has no guide to battery
values. Quite the contrary. AS
matter of fact there are four things
that determine battery life. They
are use, time, care and the quality
of the battery itself.
"Thcefirst three factors are who'll
Iy dependent on the individual use
of the battery.

BRAKES PLAY BIG
PART In PUBLIC
SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Paige and Jewett Have
Splendid Steering
Mechanism

Police officials in some of the
large cities have recently offered
free brake tests as part of the ma
tion-wide safety campaign. This
is certainly a real public service,
but why should safety propaganda
be centered on brakes when thore
are other features in the construc-
ton of an automobile that are also
of vital importance27
This question is asked by II. NJ.
Jewctt, president of the Paige Mo-
tor Car Company, who is an active
figure in the safety first movement.
1T is perfectly natural that
brakes should come first in one s
mind when careful driving is men
tioned,' says Mr.. Jewett. '"They
are important, of course, but how
many give a thought to the steer
ing mechanism, the clutch and the
transmission, or the frame and the
axlcs? 30
eff your car does not handle
easily, you may not be able to avoid
a vehicle or pedestrian that other
wise would give you only Il scare.
1t is for this reason that both the
Paige and Jewett have ball bear
ings in the steering spindles. Easy
steering is all the more important
now that so many women drive.
"You want a clutch and gear
shift that will not fail you in TAX
ing 4 steep hill or when starting
across u street in front OF other
traffic. Our engineers spent much
time in securing quick acting
clutch and smooth transmission
units that function with virtually
never miss or a stall.
These and other elements of
safety in motoring cannot be left
to your garage man--they must be
incorporated in the construction of
your ear. L should not be surprised
if some day each car must pass an
underwater RS laboratory inspection
on safety engineering just as much
as an electric switch or u steam
boiler.'
:" If you are honestly interested in
safety, not only for yourself but
for others, you will be wise to choose
a sturdy, dependable car and not
put all your faith in brakes alone. -
