Because the vast majority of owner
of new automobiles are not alivo to ;
the Importance of battery examination t
when their machines nro turned over
to them, Mr. Baker, local manager or
tho Prest-O-Lite Service Station, has
sounded r nolo of warning. It should
be lioeded by all purchasers of cars
that either are new from tho factory
or have stood idle for some time. Such
machines may suffer from battery do- .
preciatlon to an unusual degree. He!
offers also to give any new car owner
a rresiiening cnargn ror nis battery
without cost, no mntter with what
make lottery his machine Is equipped
"The storage battery of any ear (
one of its most sensitive pieces o!
oqulpment," explained Mr. Bukor yes
terday. "It should bo tested as soon
as the automobllo Is purchased." The
owner Is likely to think that because
tho machine Is new tho battery is nil
right. In most casos ho doos not
know that any battery should always
bo put In condition after lying idle for
some tlmo. While his now car hns
boon in transit from tho fnctory and
on view In tho dealor's showroom, his
battery like all storage batteries obeys
tho same chemical law of deprecia
tion. Tho usual treatment in such
casos is to add distilled water to all
cells and fdvo tho battery a freshening
charge.
"I feel so strongly on this subject
that I gladly advise any ownor of a
new car about tho condition of his
battery, and If a freshening charge is
needed, supply It freely ns a regular
part of our sorvlce. This may result
In prolonging tho life of tho battery
Immeasurably. Wo aro hero to give
service and sorvico most certainly is
general education about battory uses
nnd abuses."

It will bo necessary to locate the guilty
parties and action taken accordingly.
Meanwhile Mr. Fear who has had tho

outcome and In tho event tho car
proves to be tho ono stolen, it will bo
