RULES FOR THE CARE OF MOTOR BATTERIES F. S. Armstrong Points to the Dan- ger of Overcharge--Caution Is Advised Many motorists do not knok that there is as much danger in letting their batteries get overcharged as there is in letting the charge ruh too low. Overcharging is very likely to happen during long runs when the car is operated at twenty to twenty- five miles an hour for a number of hours continuously. At this speed the generator is delivering current to the battery at its maximum charging rate, according to F. S. Armstrong, general manager for Vesta storage storage batteries. An overcharged battery overheats, with the result that the active ma- terial in the plates loosens and falls to the bottom of the battery, short- ening its life. Most cars have an automatic cutout in the electrical system which is supposed to prevent overcharging, but this, like many automatic devices, sometimes fails to work at the proper time. The safe way is to burn your lights, at least part of the time, when on a long drive. This takes the load off the battery and insures- against overcharging. The next time you see a motorist driving along the street at high noon with his lights on, don't yell at him. He probably knows what he is do- ing, and his battery will last longer than the other fellow's who is not wise enough to take this precaution. This idea is one which motorists would do well do adopt. In fact, most automobile manufacturers advise this procedure in their construction OUILEMTTE A. C. TO MEET ST. ANN'S NEXT The Ouilmette A. Cs meet the eleven bearing the name of St. Ann's next Sunday at the local gridiron, Third street and Linden avenue. Wil- mette's representative football team triumphed over the Fairmonts last Sunday to the merry tune of 49 to 0. Conspicuous among the snappy play- ing of the Ouilmettes was the per- formance of Braun, Schwall, De Long and Rosberg. Their dash and vigor was the life of a rather uninteresting game. Ouil- mette outweighed their opponents 10 pounds to the man. The Wilmette Junior football team will play a curtain-raiser Sunday be- fore the regular game, starting about 1:30 o'clock. They have been show- ing some good football and the regu- lars are more than willing to have them engage in the preliminaries. METZ AND HART TO SELL MOON, ELGIN Meet the man in the Moon. There are two of them in fact, Metz and Hart. They are this week announcing they have gone into partnership in the north shore dist- ributing of the Moon motor car and the Elgin Six. They have the cars now en dis- play in their showrooms in Sher- man avenue, Evanston. Hart, until a week ago, conducted the Hart Tire service at this location, while Metz had his headquaters there for the Elgin Six. JUNICR FOOTBALL TEAM SHOWS GREAT PROMISE Wilmette's Junior football team, played its first game against the Yale A. C. of Oak Park last Sunday at the Chicago field. Because players were unable to appear and substitutipgns had to be made the local team coMld not present a very formidable de- fense and they were vanquished 19 to 0.. However, .they are satisfied they can play good football, and have scheduled a game with another Chi- cago eleven at Third street and Lind- en avenue for mext Sunday. The game will be a curtain-raiser to the regular game between the OQuilmette A. C. and St. Ann's. COTTON FROM NEW FIELDS The fourteenth annual report of the British Cotton Growing associa- tion states that the number of 4(0- pound bales of cotton produced in new fields of the British Empire was 82,350 in 1914, 75200 in 1915, 78,800 in 1916, 72,600 in 1917, and 54,900 in 1918. Two or three counties in our cotton belt produce as many 500-pound bales as these. The "new fields" are in West Africa, East Africa, the Sudan, the West Indies, and in minor coun- tries whose combined production has not exceeded 5,000 bales. The asso- ciation's efforts are directed by Brit- ish cotton manufacturers with the ob- ject of making them less dependent on American cotton. . books, which, apparently, automobile owners seldom read carefully. FORD MOTORS DROVE NC-4 ACROSS SEA received official advice from the navy department that it was four Ford liberty motors--all built in the Ford Motor company's shops at De- troi drove the NC-4 to victory in its re- cent record-breaking. flight across the Atlantic from Trepassey, New- foundland, to Plymouth, England, a distance of 4,000 miles. They were regular stock motors built during the war as a part of the Ford liberty motor production. Upon his arrival in Lisbon, Portu- gal, Lieutenant Commander said, ::The engines functioned per- fectly all the way from America to Portugal." And American naval of- ficers who thoroughly inspected the NC-4 upon its arrival at Plymouth, England, stated that the big seaplane was in even better condition than when it left America. The NC-4 flight, which has meant skill, also adds another record to Ford achievement. the aet of Congress of August 24, 1912, of The Winnetka . Weekly Talk, pub- lished weekly October 1, i919.
