Mileage Hint?

'T'HE motorist must always rr
A member that to start an auti
mobile engine two things are necet
sary; first, gasoline^ second, i
spark. The generator supplies di
rect electric current for chargir
the battery, from which the spar!;
is obtained and as a result is a ver \
important part of the car.
The charging rate of the genera
tor may be regulated. In winter,
when lights are used oftener, and
when cold-starting troubles impor:r
severe strains on the battery, it
should charge at a higher rate thar
In summer. With the return of long
er days and warmer weather its
charging rate should be readjusted.
i While the generator is being in
spected and its charging rate set
the motorist should have his electric
Circuits gone over. He should be
sure that all wires are firmly con
nected, that his battery has an
ample supply of Water, that its
terminals are not corroded and that
it has a sufficiently high hydrometer
reading.
Proper ignition helps to insure
proper combustion, which, in turn,
is an aid to smoother engine opera
tion and minimum fuel consump
tion. Obviously, an inspection of the
generator, the battery and the elec
trical connections is necessary from
time to time to insure efficient
engine performance.
