AUTO NEWS | ; International Harvester Aw ards Pins; Donald Hamilton High for Current Year

IN 1927 INTERNATIONAL Harvester Co. Inc. formed the Triple Diamond Club, membership to which is limited to those men who during the fiscal year sell enough International trucks to gain 500 or more points. The points are given for each unit sold according to size. For instance, a !:-ton truck sale nets a salesman 6 points, for a two-ton truck sale he gets 10 points, etc. On an average it means a salesman must do a $50,000 volume during the year. : : Wednesday night, the annual Triple Diamond party was held at the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (U. P,).— The Army and Navy are embarked on the hation’s greatest. peacetime program of building . cantonments and air bases, and plants fo produce equipment and munitions.

The sound of hammer, saw and riveting machine is ringing in most

$739,200,000 for Plants

Another $739,200,000 is being spent for airplane and aircraft engine plants; armor, tank and munitions factories; new shipways and shipyard facilities. This program alone is expected to bring into construction another $330,000,000 of private industrial building this year.

Most of the projected cantonments will be large enough to hold a division of troops each. They will be complete with mess halls, administration buildings, hospitals,

Besides those projects, there are 17 Army air bases in various stages of construction and seven Government arsenals and munitions depots. Despite delays and the fact that

Five-Point Battery Check Advised

‘WITH SEVERE WINTER WEATHER just a few forecasts away, A H 8 I i 4 ay - Moo d engineers of the Willard Storage Battery Co. urge you to not only have the battery but the entire electrical system of your car checked. ' There are more than 100 places in a car’s electrical- system where a 3 gi tiny flaw, short circuit or leak may drain the life from a perfectly good . battery. Too, batteries must carry a heavier load during the winter. Heaters and radios now are the rule rather than the exception. Lights : are used for longer periods. Higher compression motors, when cold, put _Snowfi?ke patterns In a greater drain on the battery.. . . : Willard engineers suggest this five-point checkup: ‘First, the battery is tested with a hydrometer to see if it is sufficiently charged. (It should read 1.260 or better). Next, the battery should be filled with water to the proper level. Then the sealing compound on top of the battery must be checked for leaks. Step number four is the check of the car’s starting system. Finally comes the so-called low-voltage checkup with a testing unit. ; 4 :
