BATTERY CA he
STRESSED

Stressing the Importance Of
proper care OF the storage battery
to insure trouble free operation
during the spring and summer
months. David Gregg, research
engineer OF the AC Spark Plug
Company, says IN part:
with the coming Of warm
weather the car Is in constant use.
Less current Ii needed to operate
the starter, the lights are not 20
frequently used. and the car II
longer periods. For these reasons
the battery ID often overcharged,
and IL this condition II kept up
serious battery damage will result
through plates buckling.
Some drivers leave their lights
burning on long trips to reduce the
current going to the battery. but
at best, this Is nakeshift arrange
ment. The best plan is To drive
into your service station and have
the charging rate OF the generator
changed for summer conditions
This takes but q few minutes and
Is a precaution we'll worth while.
Then check the water level in
the battery as FREQUENT intervals,
filling with distilled water as
needed. Check the battery cables
for tightness. and keep them coated
with vaseiine or grease to prevent
corrOsiOn.
More headlight bulbs are burned
out due to loose cables or wires
than for any other reason, for a
loose wire on the battery increases
the line voltage to that OF the
generator and makes the lights
burn too brightly. Garry an extra
kit of bulbs, and few fuses and
you're all prepared for summer
driving so far as your battery IL
concerned"

Motorists are wondering. The
majority of cars are coming through
with warnings against fast driving
posted on the windshield, but there
is far less stressing Of this warning.
One large producer of cars has
raised the breaking-in speed limit
from rs to 40 miles an hour.
IL one make of car can be
driven 40 miles an hour during It's
first 500 miles of existence without
damage, why cannot the same De
done with any car Of the same price
class with q comparable engine! Is
there any advantage in having an
engine capable of high speed upon
delivery, aside from the convenience
of not being obliged to drive
slowly? Would any engine be I'M
proved by running slowly during
the breaking in process, even u II
could. be driven fast without scoring
the cylinders through freezing OF
the pistons?
INQUIRIES Are Many
These questions are engaging the
attention of thinking motorists. and
automobile statesmen are reporting
an increasing number OF INQUIRIES
touching on this subject. Fortu-
natelv. there are some handy
Euideposts.
IN considering car speed, one Is
concerned largely with engine speed.
Not ali engines are running at the
same speed when their cars are
travelling 40 miles an hour. This Is
because of the difference In gearing
between various makes. and even
models. of cars To assume that
an engine is travelling unusually
fast lust because its car IS skim.
ming over the road at 40 miles an
hour NAV be entirely wrong. Some
engines are running quite fast at
the comparatively low car speed
Of % miles per hour.
The situation this year is greatly
cannlicated because while major
inv Of engines are of the high speed
TYNE there is quite a variation In
the degree of this high speed. In
addition, some manufactures Sill
adhere to the policy Of producing
i slower speed, heavier duty type
power plant.
Gear Changes Needed
1t is not, however, entirely a
question OF engine speed. The
matter of load also must be cor
sfdered. Speed alone will heat up
pistons and cause them to bind IN
their cylinders as many a mortists
has discovered to his chagrin when
abusing a new car. But normal
speed combined with a. heay load
also raises piston temperature to-
what may be q danger point. Hard
hill climbing in high gear has the
same effect Of an excess load on
level ground.
Hills and loads call for widsr
open throttle which. in turn, means

increased combustion, greater heat
and greater expansion. It is better
to climb the steep hills in second
gear with a new car, but If this
rule is followed car should be
taken to avoid running as fast
in second gear as one would in
high. No set rule can be given
in this respect because Of the
great variation in gearing as well
as in engine design.
A handy guide, however, is to
run in second at a speed at which
the engine seems neither to be
laboring nor running to fast. The
purpose OF climbing in second is
to cut down friction on the bearings
as we'll as on the cylinder walls,
and lie the car is run ton slowly
in second it cannot develop suffi.
cient power to reduce this friction.
Few car owners appreciate that in
many cars second gear is more near
ly high than was the custom some
years ago. Almost all cars now
are able to climb steep hills in high
gear. Failing in this they require
only a slight gearing down" in.
order to prevent strain. That is,
after they have been broken In.
Many motorists strain their engines
by taking in second gear steep
grades which should be handled in
low.
Wise Driver Takes Care
The use of aluminium alloy pistons
with various means of conducting
heat away from the piston head,
which is so apt to expand suddenly
and seize in its cylinder, has been
cited as one argument in favor Of
scrapping the rule about slow lriv-
ing when the car is new.
The newer Iubricating systems, for
another thing, are said to obviate
the possibility of scoring cylinders
should the car be driven fast during
the first few hundred miles OF its
existence.
These are excellent arguments
viewed from theoretical standpoint, !
but experienced mechanics say they
are still trying to eliminate knocks
which have been put into new en-
gines through excessive new car
speeds.
On the theory that something may
go wrong. the wise motorist is care
full about breaking In the new car.
However, he is not so foolish as to
carry it to extremes. Whenever
one finds 4 motorist who would not
think of exceeding 90 or IS miles
an hour with new car it is q GER
tainty that he win have trouble. He
viii not be consistent. You will find
him driving too fast in second or
perhaps stepping on the gas at the
end Of the 500-Tnile period without
taking the precaution OF changing
the diluted oil in the crankcase.

Publicity of Figures in

Robert Quinn, president of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, is taking the lead in
suppressing overemphasis on player
values. He steadfastly refuses to
name the terms, whenever such terms
are cash, whereby he acquires or sells
a player. With Quinn it has become
matter of policy.
When Quinn announced the pur-
chase of Ken Williams from the st.
Louis Browns he was besought on all
sides for the details. These he gave
freely until pressed for the amount of
cash involved. There he baked.

costs me-" he explained. at doesn't

Wilbert Robinson, president manager
of the Brooklyn club, happened to
come along just as Quinn made his
observation and agreed.
Me, too," he said. "That ought to
be written into the rules of the major
leagues. A lot of harm has been done
by releasing those outlandish figures,
which, even if they were true, were
all out of proportion and placed false
value on players"

many experienced baseball men, to the

generally supposed TO have under

While the average American may be
but family interested in the work of
Houston, the empire-builder, he can
not fail to be stirred by the deeds of
Houston, the man. We can admire
the pure grit he displayed when he
received that dreadful wound in the
assault on the Indian stronghold at
Tohopeka, but we must admire more
the moral courage he displayed when
he faced q vast crowd of Texans, de-
plored their hasty decision for seces-
sion and dared to predict defeat for
the South. For sit is far easier to do
something spectacular with all the
world applauding than 1t is to stand
square for a principle and to flout the
mighty monarch, Majority"
Small wonder then that three states
should claim him as their own. vir-
ginias claim lies in the fact that he
was born March 2, 1893 at Timber
Ridge in Rockbridge county not far
from Lexington, the son of Samuel
Houston, who served in the Revolu-
ton as one of Daniel Morgan's stall
wart rif1emen, and one of those pioneer
mothers, who were "tall and strong"
and a fit mate for such a man. Last
year Virginia, with Texas cooperating,
erected monument at that place and
there each year memorial ceremonies
are held on April q, the anniversary
of Sam Houston's greatest victory. the
battle of San Jacinto.
When the elder Samuel Houston
died in 1907, his wife took her six
sons and three daughters with her
over the Alleghenies and established
them a pioneer home on the borders
Of the Cherokee nation in eastern
Tennessee. So Tennessee spreads upon
the record Of its contribution to ma
tional history that she sent Sam Hou
ston to his first war under the leader
ship of her greatest hero Andrew
Jackson, in his expedition against the
Creeks; that she sent him to represent
her in congress and that she later
made him her governor.
Texas claim to Sam Houston Is
need repeating here. The events them
selves are well known, but the sig

for their own but as his contribution
