The Storage Battery As Used In Touring Tn touring, the Btorage battery usually pluys such n modest part that it is often entirely" forgotten. The very fact that it is comparatively lit tle used, however, constitutes n reuson for examining it occasionally. The following explanation and sug gestions are offered by Mr. IS. B. Churchill of the l'rest-O-Ute Battery Service Station. "Most modern automobiles are equipped with generators which are intended to recharge the storage bat tery in proportion to the current con sumed by the starter and lights, under ordinary driving conditions. "Ju long, cross-country driving, the geuernlor operates under abnormal conditions -that is, it. charges the bat tery faster than the current is con sumed. Continued touring day after day, with little use of the starter and lights, in apt to result in overcharging tho buttery which is accompanied by over-heating. , ''Over healing causes the battery so lution to eeiuporate rapidly. it is therefore, advisable to examine tin? battery every few days, if the touring is continued, and add distilled water us needed to keep the solution well over the buttery plates. This atten tion is absolutely essential as allow ing the plates to become exposed, due to evaporation of the solution, is bound to seriously injure the battery. "Continued over-heating is apt to damage the separators- and the over charging should be relieved as much ns possilile. This can bo done by burning the lights over night or during the day if necessaiy. Over charging can al ways be detected by excessive spray ing and too rapid evaporation of the solution. "At the time tho battery is ex amined any solution that hns sprayed out should be washed off with a moist cloth or sponge. The hold-downs should atso be tightened to prevent unnecessary vibration. "As none but distilled water is suit able fpr bnttery use, most tourists find it more convenient to stop at battery service stations for addition of water than to carry a supply. All tourists, regardless of what car they drive or the make of batterv, are welcome at lour station, at iStute anfl Front streets,! where our bnttery experts gladly add distilled water if needed. At the same j time they can test the buttery and tell the tourist whether k is suffering from over heating. The same service is to be had nt any of the hundreds of l'rest-O-I.ito Itattery Service Stations dis tributed over tho country. CAS ECONOMY SHOWN 1 PORTLAND CAR IN MAXWELL CON TEST MADE OOOO EECORD ' ped From Factory In Single Day Those who want "Business as usual" in the United States will find substan tial comfort in the reports of sales made in April and May by tho Max well Motor Company, Ine., of Detroit. The Mcxwell Company's April sales exceeded by many hundred ears those of any month in the history of the company: The May sales, in turn, greatlv ex ceeded those of April. Moreover, shipments on the last day of May 635 ears were the biggest ever made by the Maxwell Company In a single day. This, officials of that company as sert, is substantial evidence that this great increase in business, instead of being a mere spurt, is a definite move ment, reflecting conditions generally in all lines and . daily gathering mo mentum. Maxwell officials comment on the fact that never before, since the in vention of the automobile, have any but two companies equalled or beat the Maxwell shipping Record of May 31st. And this achievement together with the two record-breaking months was made after we had gone into the war. Walter E. Flanders, President and General Manager of the Maxwell Mo tor Com puny, lac., said: "This country, in ' my opinion, is just entering an era of prosperity the like of which has never been seen. "We must supply tho world with nearly everything men need and, to do this, our factories and farms will be rushed to capacity. This can moan but one thing (front prosperity for manu facturer, merchant, farmer, banker and wage earner. "Tt would, therefore, bo the height of folly for any movement looking to unnecessary economy to gain headway aiuonng our people. "To win the war we must keep our (With Purrine Implement Co.) i We Repair - STORAGE BATTERIES, STARTING AND LIGHTING SYSTEM AND MAGNETOS.

It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to live and spend as he would in normal times.- "1 believe that the American people are going to do this." Besides the . record shipping day tho last day in May the factory com pleted (170 cars on the precceding Saturday but shipment of these cars was not completed until Sunday. Reports show Maxwell dealers in all parts of the country are prosperous. Dealers ore sending in larger orders for cars than ever before. Mr. Flanders said tho problem of the Maxwell Company was not to find buyers for motor cars, but to get ma terial enough to make ears to supply the demand and get railroad cars enough to ship out the products of the Maxwell factories. After finding the raw material it is a problem to get the railroads te haul the material to the factories. In the last year the Maxwell Com pany business has had a wonderful ex pansion. The company has leaped in to third place in point of production and has taken just four years to at tain this. More than a thousand automobiles were turned out in May than were pro duced in April. The production in June apeprently will exceed the May production. Mr. Flanders said: "More money will be in circulation ia the next few years than ever before in the history of the country. "The constructive military and naval program already outlined by the Gov ernment is going to crowd into one year what normally it would take five years to complete." The Maxwell Company finds the automobile market steadily widening. The people are making money and the Maxwell Company is fiuding it diffi cult te produce ears fast enough to meet the demand.

The greatness of the Maxwell rests in its superb chassis. Every part--motor, trans mission, clutch, axlesis the perfected product of experience and development. Not a freak idea, not a whim of some en gineering genius seeking a reputation for orig inality, in the whole car. - The Maxwell is a one model car one tried, tested and proved model developed to the high est point of mechanical efficiency by sustained concentration of master minds year after year. Just as Michael Angelok, by concentrating his great genius on painting and carving the mas culine form, showed what concentration will do to produce supreme grandeur in art, so has the Maxwell organization shown what can be done to produce a master car by concentrating on one idea, one model, one design. The engine, which has made the Maxwell a World Champion, has power to spare, power that takes thousands of Maxwells tens of thousands of miles under every sort of driving conditions, at a cost averaging from $6 to $8 a month. So, too, is there endurance to spare and supreme mechanical efficiency in the axles, transmission, in every part of the Maxwell chassis. We ask you to put the X-ray of your careful inspection and test on the Maxwell the result inevitably will beyou will want to own a Maxwell.
