C. actions for Proper Care of Modern Starting, Lighting and Ignition Battery By CLYDE WILLIAMS of Anaheim Vulcanizing Works Keep the Battery Clean KEEP battery and interior of battery compartment wiped clean and dry. Do not permit an open flame near the battery. Keep terminals and connections coated with vaseline or grease. If solution has slopped or spilled, wipe off with waste, wet with ammonia water. Keep Battery Filled with Water Pure water must be added to all cells regularly and at sufficiently frequent intervals to keep the solution at the proper height, which is level with the bottom of the vent tube in the cover. The frequency with which water must be added depends largely upon the conditions o operation. Once every two weeks in cool weather and once every week in hot weather is good practice. Do not fill with acid. Fill with pure water only. Do not use any water known to contain even small quantities of impurities of any kind. Distilled water, melted artificial ice or fresh rain water are recommended. Use only a clean, non-metallic vessel (porcelain, china, glass; etc.) for handling water. Read the Specific Gravity Regularly The best way to determine the condition of the battery is to test the specific gravity (density) or the solution in each cell with a hydrometer. A convenient time is when adding water, but the reading should be taken BEFORE, rather than after, adding the water. To take a reading with an ordinary hydrometer syringe, insert the end of the rubber tube in the cell, squeeze, and then slowly release the rubber bulb, drawing electrolyte from the cell until the hydrometer floats. The reading on the graduated stem of the hydrometer at the point where it emerges from the solution is the specific gravity of the electrolyte. After testing the electrolyte must always be returned to the cell from which it was drawn. Keep the Battery Fully Charged When all cells are in good order the specific gravity test will be within 25 points (0.025) in all cells. The gravity varies with the state of charge, as follows: 1.290—Fully charged. 1.215—Half discharged. 1.150 or below—Completely discharged. When battery is found to be half discharged use the lamps sparingly until by charging the battery the gravity is restored to at least 1.250. A discharged battery should be given a full charge at once by running the engine idle or at a Philadelphia Service Station. A completely discharged battery is always the result of lack of charge or waste of current. If a battery charges up all right and the specific gravity readings are O. K., but it soon runs down again, there is trouble somewhere in the electrical system which should be located and corrected. It is important to keep the battery fully charged in order to prevent freezing in cold weather. Electrolyte of 1.150 gravity will freeze at five degrees above zero, Fahrenheit, but electrolyte of 1.290—Fully charged. 1.215—Half discharged. 1.150 or below—Completely discharged. When battery is found to be half discharged use the lamps sparingly until by charging the battery the gravity is restored to at least 1.250. A discharged battery should be given a full charge at once by running the engine idle or at a Philadelphia Service Station.

It is important to keep the battery fully charged in order to prevent freezing in cold weather. Electrolyte of 1.150 gravity will freeze at five degrees above zero, Fahrenheit, but electrolyte of 1.250 gravity will require a temperature of 60 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, to freeze. Gravity in one cell markedly lower than in the others, especially if successive readings show the difference to be increasing, indicates that the cell is not in good order. If the cell regularly requires more water than the others, a leaky jar is indicated, which should immediately be replaced with a good one. If there is no leak, and if the gravity is 50 to 75 points below that in other cells, a partial short circuit, or other trouble within the cell, is indicated. In case of trouble of this kind it is best to consult a competent battery service station. 'TIS OPEN SEASON OF MOTOR SHOWS San Francisco's automotive equipment exposition closed yesterday, and Portland, Ore., today will see the conclusion of its annual show. Milwaukee's show ended on Wednesday, Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore and Tole-de today will conclude their shows. Oakland's annual show closed on Sunday, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Rochester and Tulsa, Okla., shows ended on Saturday or Sunday. Today Chicago's annual show opens, to last until Feb. 4. Additional downward price revisions, of which many were announced at the recent New York show, are anticipated. Salesmen are being trained, under the auspices of the Chicago Automobile Trade Association to use ten to twenty standardized answers to as many questions of the type that it is presumed the public would ask. During the same period an automobile salon will be held. Coming shows include the sixth annual Pacific Automobile Show at San Francisco, Feb. 11-18; Salt Lake City show, week of Feb. 20; San Antonio show, in March; and Denver show, March 10-20. FORD MUST PAY TAXES SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.—The Ford Motor Co. must pay the California franchise taxes for 1915-16, the superme court here has decided, confirming a decision of the superior court at Sacramento. The accrued taxes amount to $27,000. Governor Johnson in 1916 revoked the franchise of the company in the state. The company claimed $27,000 was an excessive amount. Horace Dodge, Scion of Noted Family, Lea Plant From Ground They say he has a peculiar tide for mechanical things, just his late father did, and this is a doubts true, but there is something of the philosopher in the makeup of young Horace E. Dodge. Young Dodge has done as he said he would when he returned from his honeymoon trip in Europe a few months ago. He has gone to work. Not on a swivel chair job in the front office, nor even a director-general-ship in the shops, but just "on duty" with thousands of others who earn their living at Dodge Brothers. The millions left to his family by the late Horace E. Dodge, one of the two founders of the great institution which still bears their name, are not going to be a barrier to the practical education of the son. He is determined to "lear the works" from the ground up. "I thought I knew the factory pretty well," he said, as he turned aside from his favorite rip-saw for a moment, "but I am quickly finding what a tremendous lot there is still to learn." Mr. Dodge went to work early in November. A little while ago he drew a check for the first money he ever earned. He is proud of that check and is going to keep it. BUICK CARS STOOD HIGH LAST YEAR Wm.

ONLY LIGHT CARS PASS JAP BRIDGES When Charles B. Warren, lately appointed ambassador to Japan, opened negotiations for the embassy's motor equipment, he found unexpected difficulties in the way, reports Sam Hubbard, local Paige distributor. Automobile men with expert experience told him that a limooline of a standard American make would not do. For Tokyo's streets are narrow and her many bridges are of light bamboo, amply strong to carry the lighter burdens that make up the traffic of the little men of Nippon, but never intended to carry a big American car and its burden of seven full sized white men. Colonel Warren will use an American car, a Paige 6-44. The chassis is already well on its way across the Pacific. But the body will be Tokyo built, of a size and weight to come within the requirements of Japan's traffic regulations. The new car will be generously large for the embassy's guests, though the Colonel will find it a bit tight should he have occasion to offer three or four Caucasian friends a ride together. RACE DRIVER HURT IN TAXI CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Louis Chevrolet the well known racing driver had his leg severely bruised and twisted in a taxicab collision here. Chevrolet never had been hurt before. He came here to attend the Chicago show. THORNLESS BLACKBERRY" SANTA ROSA, Jan. 28.—A perfect "thornless blackberry" has been evolved by Luther Burbank. It is announced here. The berry is larger in size and yield than the standard variety, it is said. Plain Dealer Want Ads get results. BUICK CARS STOOD HIGH LAST YEAR Wm. Goodrum States Well Known Car Was in Second Place Among Autos Registered Last Year Interesting figures on automobile registration have just been compiled, according to Wm. Goodrum, manager of the Anaheim Auto Co., Buick dealers. The figures are from the State Motor Vehicle Bureau for last year and are on the registration of autos in Southern California, 341,329 being registered. According to Mr. Goodrum the report shows that Fords led in the number registered with 115,123, while the Buicks were in second place with 20,218. A feature of the report, states Mr. Brokaw, was the fact that there was an increase of sales amounting to 8000 cars sold over 1920. This is a gain of 18 per cent. The increase of 8000 cars, says Mr. Goodrum, was equalled by Ford cars alone, which registered 8019 more than the previous year. TRUCKEE NOW MECCA FOR OUTING PARTIES TRUCKEE, Cal., Jan. 28.—This pioneer California town situated in a pass near the top of the high Sierra, has become a famous resort for California residents seeking the thrill of winter sports little known to most sections of the state. Every week-end the mountain-sides hereabouts are dotted with ski-ers and toboggan parties and the streets, upon which front many old-time buildings hinting of "wild and wooly" days gone by, are colorful with the gay sports attire of hundreds of visitors. The big California motion picture companies are taking advantage of the heavy knots and the rugged character of the region to film stories, the scenes of which are laid in the Canadian Northwest or Alaska. Truckee is near Lake Tahoe and but a dozen miles from the historic Donner Lake, named for the party of organ nuts which met a tragic death while attempting to cross the Sierra Nevada mountains into California.
