Battery Suggestions

The storage battery IL the
electrical bank account Of your
car. You deposit or draw.
A good pair of headlights may
discharge the battery in II
hours. To replace this current
you would probably have to
drive the car eight hours at 20
miles an hour.
An average winter cranking
will consume enough current to
require from six to ten miles
driving to replace It.
An overdrawn battery account
10 apt to cause mental and ply
steal comfort.
The liquid in a fully charged
battery will stand below zero
temperatures. In discharged
battery it will freeze at much
higher temperatures. The liquid
should be kept well above the
plates. Offer the battery a
drink at least once every two
weeks, but, In cold weather.
only just before a run. Water
added to the battery will mix
only when the battery Is charg-
ing or discharging. Before
such mixing It IL just clear wa
FER and will freeze at ~ degrees.

The American league has been leading by several hundred all through the season, but when the final report was posted on the black board at the noon meeting at the Burritt hotel today it was found that some one had iuggled the fig ures to make it appear as though the National league were ahead. The matter was referred to High Com missioner" John A. Andrews, who reported through his secretary, L" W. $ 'oge, that Figures do not lie, but jars sometimes figure" Presi- den. W. C. French and his assistant, A. J. DcLaurier of the American league and President c. ]. Leroux and his assistant, C. w.

Ban- nan, immediately charged a frame up.
 Mir. Bannan was "released under bail" in custody of Mir LorouN, who is himself in custody of Chief Hart A hearing will be held later. In the meantime, during the conference through the some mysterious source, the correct figures were restored.
