When we asked Mr. Lesses; of the 'focal Willard Service Station, to atiswer this question for bur readers, he said, "I will try to talk in words of one syllable and try 30 keep away from technical terms. "The Hydrometer = test simply weighs the battery solution. We take the weight of distilled water as a standard and call it 1." Sulphuric acid weighs more than water so that when it is added to wafer, as it is to make the battery solution, the solution will naturally weigh more thin the original water. It is this in- creased weight which we measare. "It the battery is properly vaarged, the battery solution should weigh one and 28:100 times as minch. as water. This weight is called specie grav- ity. When a battery is discharged, the acid leaves the. solution and en- ters the plates which makes the so- ~hition-- lighter or nearer the weight! of the water, "When a battery is charged, the acid leaves the plates, enters the so- lution 'and makes it heavier. T here- fore when we weigh the solution (or test the battery) and find that it weighs 1.280 times as much as water, it shows that the battery. is fully charged. If. however, fof instance, it weighs 1.170 times as much as water, lates and not in the solution; there- Pe the 'battery is discharged' "But remember that you cannot charge the battery by adding acid.

The driver may be In a hurry. The engine may have stopped of ifself. The choker may have been used to stop the engine, & common and a very good practice In cold weather. The fact is, almost any one, from one cause or another, is likely to overlook this little duty on leaving the car. Meanwhile, what has veen nap pening? If the car is battery igni- ted, it is probably of the closed cir- cuit type. This means thai the eur rent is flowing to the breaker dis tribitor head constantly while the switch is on, with the exception of the infinitesimal moment when the breaker snaps open and shut again. The breaker cannot remain open, 80 that if the engine is stopped there is a constant flow of current as long as the switch is on. The result is usu- ally a discharged aml perhaps badly damaged battery, and almost certain. ly a burned-out resistance wire. Have Bearings the Same. | In removing play from the rod bearings by reducing shim thickness, great care should be exercised to get each rod bearing as free as every other bearing. To make one bearing tight and another rather free in movement is courting trouble, for in most cases it will be found that a knock will result. Ph TO GLASGOW. ose Saturnia Cassandra Krom-- Portland.
