There is balm for many puzzled and bawledOut

nods of the United States supreme court Driving
through Washington, he was stopped by policeman
when he turned the wrong way into one-Way street

Thereby demonstrating that traffic officers in the cap
ital just ordy anywhere else, and all drv-

Consider the retort courteous of the distn-

Whereupon the policeman so overwhelmed
that he rendered speechess and made no effort

Here, majesty, is instructive example in the
treatment of traffic cops. Be humble, and dodge baw
outs and jail terms. Here also, is consolation for the
humiliating apses into which the best of drivers will
fall occasionally. If supreme court judge doesn't
know any better than to tackle one-way street wrong

USE OF RUBBER
In BATTERIES
MARKS ADVANCE

The greatest advances in storage
battery construction in recent year,
have been brought about by the list
Of rubber instead of wood.
In Willard batteries, especially
rubber has been adapted to use al
most to the total exclusion of wood
In Il single e volt Willard battery
rubber is used in five forms, total
ing from 81 to 80 pieces. according
to the size of the battery. These
five forms are jars, covers, vent
plugs, gaskcts and insulation. Where
hard rubber is used for the battery
case-a most recent development
which is becoming more popular
the Jars are not needed as the mono.
bloc case forms its own jars.
The use of rubber for jars, plugs,
covers and Caskets has been com
mon to the battery trade for q long
time.
The hard rubber case. however, is
a comparatively new development
In the use of rubber for eases there
were many difficulties to overcome

The greatest value rubber has to
the battery industry, however, lies
in Insulating the positive plates
from the negative plates. Here
again. Willard was the pioneer and
developed the famous Threaded
Rubber Insulation, a patented pro-
duet to be had only in Willard bat
teries
With Threaded Rubber Insulation,
Willard battery manufacturers were
able to take two more advance steps
toward the goal of a perfect stor-
age battery. These were. bone dry
and charged bone dry batteries.
The first step enabled handling of
batteries for storage and shipment
without acid. Absence of acid pre-.
vented the plates from being dam
ged by "shelf wear which occurs
whenever moisture in the battery
combines with the material in the
plates.
Charged Bone Dry batteries were
the next step. This process enables
the buyer TO get a fGlly charged bat
terry ar Il moment 5 notice. The old
method neccssitatcd a wait of n day
or two for the new battery to be
formed and charged.
Threaded Rubber Insulation and
Charged Bone Dry plates make "A
battery which is always new until
actually put in use. Not a moment
of its life is lost through shelf wear.
These advantages can be found only
in Willard Batteries as Threaded
Rubber is patented Willard pro-
duct.
