 Do you know how Walter Johnson $ pals in high school discovered that he had speed to burn? Do you know that he was tried out as catcher first and then as pitcher? Do you know that he pitched 15-inning game in high school which resulted in a 0-0 score? Do you know how he was discovered to be a pitcher? These and many other questions are answered in Walter Johnson's second installment of My Twenty Years on the Mound" next Sunday.

TRUCKS SOLVE
HARD PROBLEM
Garry Heavy Loads Of
Concrete Up Steep In
clines OF New City

The paving Of 125 miles of broad con-
crete road is a herculean task at best,
but when these roads lead over the
winding inclines of a foothill communi-
ty, then it becomes an engineering prob
lem. Al problem such as this has been
solved in a most sa tisfactory manner
by a fleet of five Graham Brothers
trucks, according to S. III. Woodruff,
successor to Tracy Shouts, Co, creators
Of Hollywoodland, "a new community
in the Hollywood hills, and George
Colley, superintendent of the Western
Construction Company IN charge of
the development, 81 - 4A,
These Graham Brothers trucks, with
pneumatic tires and, equippedswith a One
and one-haf cubic yard body, are used
to convey cement from a central mixing
plant to the area in process Of paving
thereby simplifying the paving problem
in residential districs such ms Holly
woodland, and at the same time cutting
the cost and time of installation to a
minimum.
"Coincident with our decision to in
stall centrally located mixing plant,
from which we could distribute the
cement to be used in the paving of this
project with equal facility and dis
patch to any point on the property"
said Woodruff. 1--WE were confronted
with a decidedly unique and puzzling
transportation problem. s
First we had to have equipment
which was powerful and sturdy enough
to transport the cement from the mix
ing plant oyer the hills on a tempo
rary road which we had constructed to
the area undergoing paving, and Sec
ond, we had to have truck speedy
enough to convey the cement from mixer
to forms in the shortest possible time

ing to motor car owners who want the

"a storage battery is an electro
chemical apparatus and therefore sensi-
tive to changing conditions, Many a
storage battery goes dead from over
heating in hot weather. To preserve the
life Of a battery the temperture should
never exceed ITO degrees. ~
f 1.-THE working and wearing parts Of
"a battery are away from sight and for
this reason an injury done to your bat
terry will not be, discovered until it fails
to operate, perhaps weeks later. You
may also overhead and overcharge your
battery because the generator regulation
is out of adjustment and permits the
generator to, charge at an abnormally
high rate. Here are few hints that will
enable you to keep your battery in good
condition.
Il. Look at your battery once or
twice a week. Make sure it has enough
water. Keep the water above the sep
arators in Prest-O-Lite Batteries, Others
higher If instructed by the maker! =
-. Watch your ammeter to see that
the generator charging rate is no
higher than recommended for your car.
