Fact Is That When Much Running Is
Done at Night, and the Speed Laws
Observed, Battery Does Not Get
Sufficient Current.
Dtiring tlie shorter days a frequent
complaint to garage man «»r battery
and electric system expert has to do
with the battery, though in nine tinn‘s
out of ten tilt* man with the kick does
not know that it is the baltery. lie
will talk alK>ut the lights failing every
once in a while, or the horn refusing
to honk on ih'mand. But in the ma
jority of nses it is the battery whi»‘h
is !it fault.
“It is mort* difficult to keep the bat
tery ch:irge«} at this tiin*- of the year
than it is in summer.” a -onling to an
»^kpt“rt. The reason he gives for the
troulile is "that the sun sets earlier,
ami .just as our electric light and gas
hills mount at hom«*. he(-ause we light
the lamps >ariier. so it is with the
auto. The tlriver wh* obeys the law
us*‘s m«»re current.
“A c«implaiiit came in the other day
from an KWiicr who was experiencing
troulile with liis Hcctric jilant. The
lights w«mhl not work right when he
was running. Starling out there was
light, but after running a sh»rt time
there was tnmble. The lamps were
lltte«l with dimmers, and these wouhl
n»>t work at all times; sometimes one
would light and the other fall. He
went to the garage man, and then the
dimmers would not work at all. He
went to an expert electrician, who
looked over the battery and declared
it t* be all right; but on the ground
that he was a battery expert and m*t
a wiring expert, he could not say why
; the lights would not shine, and the
owner had visions of stern policemen
and the pf»ssibility of having to say:
‘Good morning, judge, your honor,’
and he sought advice somewhere.
“His trouble was that he did most
of his running at night, and as he care
fully obser\'ed the speed laws the gen
erator did not generate very much
extra current, and the battery w’as be
ing recharged at a rather low rate,
while being discharged at a rather
high rate. In other words, he was
chopping off both ends—burning both
ends of his candle. He was using an
excessive amount of current and gene
rating less than usual, because of run
ning at night, starting often and run
ning slow’ to observe the speed laws.
Up to a certain point the amount of
current which goe# into the battery is
increased in proportion to the speed
of the car.
“Generators are constructed so that
they will deliver a normal charge to
the battery for normal nmning; they
must not be constructed so they will
send out an excessive current, or they
will overcharge the battery, and that
Is harmful. The sun sets nmch ear
lier now and the cool weather makes
it necessary to tise the starter more.
In ■warm weather one little kick will
start the car off; in cold weather it
takes often from half a minute to a
minute.”

Jacking up Car to Save Tires.
Tires should only be jacked clear of
the floor when there is a reasonable
likeliho4ul that they may become de
flated and remain so for any great
length of time, for instance, in the
case of a car that is laid up for the
winter and which will not be inspect-
“d at short intervals. There can be
no doubt that the weight of a car act
ing for long periods on flat casings
and deflated tubes is injurious to
them, hut there is no reason to sup
pose that a properly inflated tire suf
fers perceptible deterioration merely
from supporting its load.
Moved to Tears.
“PaiMloii niy «‘nn«tim,” said the sym-
pathetic man. "1 have .Ui>t listened to
an {ifTtM-iing story.”
”Tell me about it.”
“I overheanl a woman on a trolley
car telling another woman about hav
ing worn the same hat for three years.
TJjO tones «»f her voice were heart
rending. I haven’t l»een so deeply
moved since starvation waf? lirst re
ported nmonir the Ilelgians.”
Keep Rims Clean.
Rusty rims cause rim-cut tires. Clean
them with emery cloth and apply a
coat of shellac or lead paint.
Other Names for Automobiles.
A Berliner, w’ho had long been prom
inent in local transportation interests,
established a motor cab service, the
ideasing German name of his vehicles
being “automobile texameterdrosch-
ken.” Despite the preposterous title
under which they ran, the cabs were
remarkably hand.some and graceful.
If there be anything in a name, the
motor cars that formerly flourished in
some parts of Belgium should have
instantly become sway-backed and top-
heavy. The Flemish word for auto
mobile is “snelpaardelooszoonder-
spoorwegpetroolrijuig.”
In Starting Motor.
Starting the motor will be facili
tated if the carburetor mixture is en
riched at starting. This is usually
accomplished by a dash arrangement.
Don’t blame the self-starter if you fail
to do this or if you try to start motor
on magneto instead of battery. This
applies especially where the self
starter does not throw the motor over
very fast
