.A duice to Motorist 'Making surveys of this and that steems quite the fashion nowdays," says U. C. Abel, of the Abel Battery and Ignition service, 716 Elm street,i .Winnetka, local, Exide dealers, " but much. information of practical value can, bc obta.ined. "For instance," be continues, "a survey was made by the mnanufac-, turers of Exide batteriesto find out, ap>proxittiateiy, how many tim es, a battery to start his car. "The information obtained was higbly interesting. It was foun d that the average was 2,200 times a year. That nieans that the average automo- bile battery discharges current at a high, rate about this number, of times depending of course on thec'use 'to whicb the car is put by its.owner. "This information is. of value -in many ways. It emphasizes the deces- sity of keeping a wàtchful eye, on one's, battery from time to time, es-j h M I VUg~'IrnUd Dou't be fooled by the niild weather strAeae aule te conu.

According-. iy, a battery that bas been working ail right during the warm weather may not be in condition to stand an ificreased> load with, lowered efi- ciency. .41n warm, weather a battery can be in a pretty poor condition and yet be capable of tur ning over an engifne. 1"But whe.n frosty niornings corne, the* weakness in batteries beginsi to appear, usually catching the motor- ist unawares. Battery inspction at this ýtime is good insurance against unexpected battery failure this winter."
