Mrs. Carrie C. Hutchinson. Jacobs Is a veteran of the battle of St- MlhleL He wrote a letter to his mother on October 10. shortly after returning from the battle front and while the American soldiers were discussing peace news from America. In his letter, he says: "AH of the boys around me are speculating on what Wilson Is going to do with regard to a General peace or armistice. We have just received mwi of ceaee moves being: made hy the enemy. When we were fight ing: at St. Mihlel our battle cry hap pened to be one of General Pershing's sayings. 'Heaven, Hell, or Hoboien by Christmas,' and we all want to be home by that time or as soon as Uncle Sam can ship us "back. "We boys over here are depending upon President Wilson.

OVtf Choose, the Cliadler r Certainty of Service V A$ an women of America are demanding more of their Vjl motorcars now than ever before. And rightly so. For the automobile is primarily and essentially -an instrument.of transportation There is an element of pleasure at times in the use of an automobile,but above all else isthe factor of service. Millions of busy Americans drive their automobiles princi pally just to get some place quickly and get back, to keep appointments, to make things or sell things or buy things, to save time so that they may do more work. This is a time-when men nd women of ability and character and energy must do more work. The automobile saves hours every day for them. If you are choosing a new czt this Fall, choose carefully. You don't want to spend wastefully to get the dependable car you need. Choose the Chandler, famous for its marvelous motor and known by nearly fifty thousand owners as a mechanically excellent car, durable and economical. On the one perfected Chandler chassis are mounted several styles of bodies, all splendidly built and finished and all comfortable. And the Chandler car is fairly priced.

One of the funny things about the storage Battery Is the fact that It doesn't store a solitary thing. The name Is Just another case of the layman' mixing up cause and effect. The fact Is the storage battery performs Its work through what the chemist would call an electro-chemical reaction, which differs radically from any process of storing up energy to be given out later, as the name seems to Imply. The manufacturers of storage batteries tell us that the life of the average battery Is rather less than twelve months. The reason for the short life of the unit Is simply that It does not get the care and attention It ought to have at the hands of the average owner. Dy giving the battery proper care the owner can easily extend Its life to fifteen month, and even to ylghteen months. When It is considered that the average cost of batteries Is up around 30, it will be understood that a saving of from three to six months In tha life of each battery means a large aggregate saving In money. The electric )storage battery as It Is "commonly used on the motor" car comprises a battery box. In side of which are plates of a lead composition, submerged In a solu tion of sulphuric acid and water, generally known as electrolyte. This battery liquid has a specific gravity of U0, when it la at 70 degrees IY There are two kinds of plates In the battery, positive and negative. The plates "are made In the form of grids, the lnter-spaces being filled with a composition of lead. The positive plates are filled with lead parox ide, which la a peculiar reddish brown In, color. "The negative plafes have a filler of a sort of spongy lead. TJje plates .are separated by stT-ipstof wbodjrvwhlclr "have-"," been ("treated to. resist the act lorn, of the battery" .fluid.' Tije positive and negative plates- are Inclosed In hard "rubber Jars; which contain the sulphuric acid solution.. The technical' same for these Jars Is cells, and a battery may Jiae from one to as many as are need ed tjO produce the power required. In operation the battery pro duces current because a chemical reaction Is going on between the eiectrolyta tnd the active mate .rial of the plates. This action Is always going fin. even when the battery is lying idle, which Is why the unit requires attention even when it is being laid up. As soon as a demand for current is made on the battery, the chemical action (BMKBtr 5QC $1795 -1 i increases in, force.- so' that the driver is able to direct whatever amount or current ne may ncta for HghUag the lamps. -starting the car. or what not This chemical action, which gen erates the currenti forusefnl. pur poses, also produces a peculiar condition on the' plates, a sab stance known as lead sulphate Do ing deposited thereon. The,, sul plate is a white substance, formed from the sulphuric -Acid iTh the electrolyte. As the deposlt,6f , lead sulphate grows heavier, , obviously the acid content of tho electrolyte' gets weaker At the sams.tlme the encruf tatlon on' th!platei-pre-' vents tho electrolyte from '.'acting freely op tho plates Jio produce current. iS In both ways the ac tion of the battery Is weakened by this InevltablccondltJoniof de posit on the plates. Ifuhe-adndl-tlon continued long enough, all tho add- would be -Withdrawn from the electrolyte and" deposited on the plates. The battery would then be combletely dlscharsed and the fluid 'Would 'be nothing but plain water. ' The cure for this condition is very simple, for it happens that if electric current froni 'anbutslde source. Is sent through the battery it causes exactly the reverse of the original process. The lead sulphate Is driven oft the plates and back into the fluld'ln the form of sulphuric acid. If the charging loperatlon Is carried oijtt properly: the battery will fte completely re? stored to full 'working capacity; and Is ready to bogln-generatlng current with all Its -accustomed vigor. It Is evident -that theeare needi ed by the battery Is to keep Jt as nearly as possible fully charged and otherwlse-'abld. to perform Its' appointed task. In'the first place any liquid is stibjeat to evapora tion. The eiectrolyta Is no excep tion to- the rule. Indeed, Its nature and the heat generated In the chemical action' make evaporation unusually rapid. To keep the elec trolyte up ta 'Its, proper level will be the car ovobers first duty. It should be a rule'to'flll up the Jars with distilled wateror water made from melting snov, once a. month in winter 'and -ottcejln two week in summer, when, the extra heat causes excessive evaporation. If, however, some of the bsttery liquid should happen to.be spilled. It will be necessary to "replenish with acid and water In the proper pro porlldns.slnce' both will have bten lost, Avhereas- in evaporation only the.watexjwW.be lost, f . .

Most cars today are equipped with a generator driven from soma shaft to recharge the bat tery aa It Is exhausted by cur rent demands.
