SAFEST TO USE OVERSIZE BATTERY
In an electrical system, the pressure of the current is termed "electrical potential" or "voltage" and is measured in volts. Thus in a lead sulphuric acid storage battery, in which each cell develops an electrical pressure of two volts, the voltage can be increased by increasing the number of cells and connecting them in series with each other.
The rate at which the current flows in a circuit is measured in "amperes," and the capacity of any generating unit is measured in "ampere hours." Now let us see what governs the size of batteries used on automobile systems. Suppose for example, that in two tanks of different sizes water is placed under an equal pressure of six pounds per square inch by means of the weights. If the valves are opened and the outlet pipes are of the same diameter, the water in each tank will escape with the same pressure (analogous to volts) and at the same rate (amperes), but the larger tank having the larger capacity will supply water longer than the smaller one.
Electrical cells shown in the ordinary automobile storage batteries have the same electrical pressure, but the ones with the largest plate surface have the greater capacity and can deliver current longer at the same rate, or for an equal time at a greater rate. Assuming that a battery could deliver five amperes for 12 hours, it would have an ampere-hour capacity of 60. That amount
L. A. TIGHTENS UP ITS PARKING RULES
There will be more lines of vehicles parked in the second line of traffic in Los Angeles if an emergency ordinance to be effective until Dec. 26, in preparation for holiday traffic, is passed. The ordinance was recommended by the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Traffic Commission last night.
In the congested area parking will be forbidden between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. of current could be drawn as one ampere for 60 hours or 60 amperes in one hour, depending upon the size of the cables used or the amount of resistance placed in the circuit.
Three methods can be used to increase the ampere hour capacity of a storage battery: (1) Increase the area of the plates; (2) Increase up to a certain point the thickness of the plates; (3) Increase the number of plates in each cell, by either of these methods the amount of electrical energy will be increased, but the pressure with which it leaves the battery will remain the same, namely, two volts for each cell connected in series.
The Willard Storage Battery Co. of Cleveland has always urged its service stations to explain the meaning of battery capacity to their customers and to demonstrate the advantage of using an oversized battery for dependable and convenient driving, says A. Bevillard of the Anaheim Ignition Depot.

200,000 MILES AND DODGES STILL GREAT
Dodge Bros. motor cars are vorably known throughout the world for many important advantages, but are probably best known for their ability to give satisfactory service over a long period of years—for a period of life beyond that commonly afforded to a motor car. Ninety-four per cent of the cars that have been manufactured by this company are still in operation, dine in and day out in all parts of the country.
One of the most notable examples of the long life and durability of Dodge Bros. cars is found in car No. 12, the first Dodge Bros. car shipped to the Pacific coast, arriving there in December, 1914. No. 12 was displayed in San Francisco and Oakland used as a demonstrator and eventually sold. Recently it was discovered that the possession of a rancher named Santa Rosa, who used it in his daily work, he refused to sell outright, but finally traded it on a new car. At the present time it has been run approximately 175,000 miles.
Carl Schafer, of Madison, WI is an enthusiastic Dodge Bros. owner. Mr. Schafer purchased used Dodge Bros. car in September, 1916. Since then he has driven en, and has proofs to support his statement, over 229,000 miles. Mr. Schafer has sworn to take above facts before a notary.
Some time ago John Austen miller, Jr., and Robert Baur, two young men of Terre Haute, purchased a used Dodge Bros. touring car with which to tour Cadaa, Mexico and the western states. At the time the car was purchased the speedometer registered 203,000 miles, and they were those who doubted that the car would ever reach Chicago. The boys returned a few weeks ago, after having gone even farther than they expected, having added 11,121 miles to the original 203,000 mileage. They expect to make a tour of the eastern states next year with the same car.
Rickenbacker Car Is Improved Again
"I will give to the world the greatest light car value ever produced" — W. C. Durant.
THE BIRTH of the original Star Car dates back to the Summer of 1922—just a year ago.
Much interest was displayed by the public in the new light car, and on the part of the motor-wise there was an immediate recognition of the wonderful qualities contained in the chassis.
From this class were recruited 125,000 owners within the year just passed. They are men and women who know about cars, who respect their own judgment and who act on it.
They realized that despite an absence of the outer emblems of quality, usually associated with cars of the highest grade, the Star Car could compete with the best of them for intrinsic merit. They bought and they have not regretted.
In that year the average cost for replacements has been only 25¢ per car—a phenomenally low rate, and one which bespeakes the correctness of design of the Star Car.

The NEW STAR CAR
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Further freight reductions by the eastern railroads would avail the wheat grower nothing, because Canadian grain raisers would continue to have a competitive advantage in their preponderance surplus and in the inevitable corresponding cuts in rail rates which the Canadian railroad would make, according to Robert S. Binkherd, vice-chairman of the eastern railroads' committee on public relations.
Binkherd's statement was reply to the contention of Oscar B. Bradfute, president of the American farm bureau federation that since the railroads of Canada and of the United States make comparable rates for export, it appeared obvious to him that a lower rate in the United States would operate to the advantage of the American farmer irrespective of what the Canadians do.
Bradfute is said to have declared:
"The action of the railway executives apparently means that the railroads will resist every step taken to aid the farmers."
Binkherd's statement follows:
"The Canadian wheat grower must export about four-fifths of this year's crop. We have a surplus of about 90,000,000 bushels for export. Canada about four times that amount."
Tire Co. Scores Biggest October
Reports from the Goodyear Los Angeles factories relative to fall business clearly indicate that the motoring public are once more returning to sound tire buying.
J. K. Hough, manager of tire sales for the big tire company, brings this out in speaking of the record fall business done by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Hough says: "Our peak month this year was the month of August, when 148 carloads of Los Angeles-made Goodyear tires and tubes were distributed to our western branches, marking the greatest deliveries of Goodyear products during the entire history of the California company.
"Deliveries during September continued to remain high, and in the month of October just passed, our deliveries were the largest of any October sales since we began production back in 1919."

SOMETHING NEW
Radio users everywhere remark
the minimum of attention the
Gould radio batteries require,
as Robert V. Jensen, local disbuter. They are less frequently
argued and do not have to be
shed between charges because
the basic features of their den and construction.
What is technically known as
attention of voltage" is a feature of all Gould radio types because of a special Gould negative
rate which holds its charge—a
quality of very great value to the
radio user.
Flushing, or the addition of
stilled water, to replace evapolation in Gould radio batteries is
reduced to actual charge periods
the use of an extra high jar,
which doubles the reserve liquid
acidity of the battery and, incintially, prolongs its life.
Gould Dreadnaught Plates and
Gould Armored Separators, famous nationally for their duracity, insure the extraordinary
length of life characteristic of all
Gould storage batteries.

And then there is a whole famly of animals. They, too, have fine coats of paint.
Miss Brundage says that many

LIGHT AND FAST
LONDON, Nov. 17.—Britain's
latest super light cruiser—the
Probisher—is nearly completed,
and it is expected will be commissioned in the new year.
She is regarded as a "stand-by"
ship, and will probably be used
as a cruiser squadron flagship in
the Mediterranean.
Her displacement is 10,000 tons,
and her special armament includes seven 7.5 and six 12-pounder guns. She is expected to attain 31 knots.
