Scott & Piper 252-260 State St. j and Save Money What the Threads Are For Every one of the 196,000 threads in the Threaded Rubber Insulation of the Still Better Willard has a definite mission. Every thread allows free passage to the battery solution. Through this multitude of tiny paths the chemical action which means a good, strong current goes on with perfect freedom. No insulation ever used has equalled hard rubber in ability to resist tvery-day wear and tear. No method of conducting current through the hard rubber has the efficiency of the tiny threads. And the combination is found only in the Still Better Willard Battery. Let us tell you more about this insulation and the battery that uses it. cwmirai) , Aixto Electric Shop 418 Court BEGGE & BURRELL Phone 203 ' I IIIMIII IIIIIIWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJiLIMUMMMmjimjJij - 1 1 1 t T "" t AUTO NEWS.

Jt is dnteeating to know, how ever, that storage battery engineers have long tried to use ruwoer alone for tho insulation of starting aud lighting batteries without sucress- Only re cently, has the application of rubber as an insulation .been successfully used in the .construction of starting and of j lighting batteries, and even then ii.iw pruci.ss ,ior using 1,1 uuu iu ,ue iu vcutted. Rubber alone as au insulation has not been successfully used in starting and lighting 'batteries heretofore, be eauso tousle At, eifllei'tually 'insulated the p'ates, at the same time, it pre vented the free ciieulation ot the el ectrolyte. Thus Willard Storage- Battery com pany, in its new application of ' rub ber for sltorae battery insulation have pierced the raibber with thousands of Initio threads running from side to side of tho iuisula'.ion. As a result of this new invention all of the splendid insulating qualities ctf rubber have re mained, butt, the thousands of little threads running through the rubber now permit the free circulation of the electrolytic. As a result the "S'lll Better Wil lard Battery" is provided with the most durable 'battery Insulation known, while all the previous disadvantages have been removed. This new inven tion has ibeen named "Threaded Rub ber Insulation," and can be procurred only in the "Still Hotter Willard Bat tery". Just how this threaded rubber battery is manufactured is. fit course, a ecret with the Willard company, but the lact remains that tlie motorist has been spared the exptusc of frequent re-insulation olf his battery.

' The retirement ha been carried out methodically before the pressure of a steady succession of fresh German reserves, which are suffering enormous losses The situation is beinsr, faced with splendid courage and resolution. The dogged pluck of our troops has for the moment checked the ceaseless onrush of the enemy, and the French have no joined in the struggle.
