high speeds.
S. J. asks: "Is the regulator
supposed to protect the battery
from being Overcharged?"
The regulator is a kind of auto
matte switch which controls the
charging rate according to battery
needs. In other words, it increases
the generator charging rate when
the battery is low and reduces it
when the battery is sufficiently
charged.

system. Would like to know why
1 can notice, especially on a cold

This is to be expected because
of the location of the all-important
heat-control valve which aids car

The simple fundamentals of good
battery care are the same for all

vital during cold weather AS air
temperature drops. the battery's
burden grows heavier. Its crank

of how new or well-charged it is,
yet during this time more starting
power is required.
Accessory demands on the bat

are needed more often. and a
further drain is added when the

Bit of History
Chester w. Holmes was Ana
costia's principal on October %.
1885, when 400 pupils first entered
the red brick, colonial-style build
ing. In those days. Anacostia was
a junior high school. In 1887 the
transfer of approximately 300
Eastern High School students
changed the classification of the
building to a junior-senior high.
Not until the completion of Kramer
Junior High School in 1914 did
Anacostia become full-fiedged
senior high.
John Paul Collins succeeded DR.
Holmes as principal in 1887. Upon
Mr.. Collins joining the Marine
Corps as a captain in 1912, Mrs.
Opal H. Cookery replaced him and
served until her resignation in 1854.
