"Own-I "Own-I ers of battery equipped cars must fill each cell to level with distilled water, I using the hydrometer for filling. In j warm weather the cells should be ' brought to level once each week be-1 be-1 cause the evaporation is greater than it is in cold weather, when once in two weeks is sufficient. At the time the water is added, a hydrometer test should be made. This- indicates the acid strength of the electrolyte or solution. At the same time the terminals should be inspected for looseness, and any deposit de-posit of salt should be removed with a stick. The battery should seat firmly in its saddle or scat, so as to minimize I the vibration. In brief, this is all that is necessary, but it must be done regularly. regu-larly. "Men and batteries are much alike in their actions under certain influences, and we treat them in somewhat the same fashion. AVhen a battery is overheated it burns up and starts disintegrating inside because it cannot stand high temperatures. tem-peratures. So with a man whose system is designed to operate at a constant temperature. tem-perature. If be gets fever he 'burns up'. "At the opposite end of the temperature temper-ature scale the analogy still holds, for i cold affects a battery as it docs a i . man, reducing efficiency. Likewise a battery hay to be kept at work or it will , die. of laziness. It must be charged and discharged regularly. The charging charg-ing current is. so to say, the battery's food. A corroded terminal may be likened lik-ened to a clot on the brain. ' "And so we find that' as a man's temperature tem-perature and his pulse, his actions, bis capaoitv for work give indication of his phvsicai condition, so do the battery's temperatury, pulse and general behavior indicate its condition, which is another ; way of saying the care it has received j from its owner." great industrial development "were wonderful dreamers. ' ' The pioneer automobile makers of the United JStatcs may have been dreamers also, but their dreams were mere eat naps compared to the dreams which are necessary today if a manufacturer would merely keep abreast of the times. Doubles in Year. Statistics of people employed, of capital cap-ital invested and number of establishments establish-ments making cars, trucks, parts and accessories become obsolete over night. During J SH S, when congress called for facts and figures concerning t lie automotive industry, it was estimated, after a careful census of the trade by the national automobile chamber of commerce, that there was invested, in a total of 550 companies making finished cars or trucks, $7o(i,U00,000. Tli at was the figure of a year ago. Tod:iy it is estimated that the amount invested in complete vehicle building companies exceeds $L50O,0UO,0OU. The number of passenger car manu-fncluring manu-fncluring plants is not increasing rapidly, rap-idly, but the capacity of the existing plants r;ipidly Is being doubled. In 1017, for example, 2oS passenger car factories (including the Ford) produced pro-duced 1.71S.77S cars. Production figures for 1918 do not count for anything, as many of the passenger pas-senger c;ir plants were on war work. In doing government work, however, mnny of these plants wore enlarged, a ud if labor and mn terial conditions had been favorable since the signing of the armistice, it would have been possible pos-sible for t hesc two hundred odd f ac-tories ac-tories to have produced more than 42,0n(l, '00 passenger cars in 1010. 500,000 Ordered. As it happens st rikes and shortage of raw materials may cut production of passenger cars down this vear to less than 1.5inVHtn.
