WHAT IS MORE STUBBORN THAN A MULE?

Jt is an old saying when wo want to describe pig-headedness to call a man as stubborn as a mule; but, isn’t a mo-tor-car that absolutely refuses to budge more stubborn than a mule? You can make a mule shift, but many aLi irate motorist will tell you in between the swear words that when a motor-car takes it into its head to stop stark still, it will stop stark still. But geLting dow n to tin tacks, is that motor-car altogether to blame for is pig-headednesk? How many times 'has j a motor-car got into that condition, and valuable time in consequence ! wasted, simply because of the owner’s [ neglect to sec that the battery was in proper condition? Tbe battery of a motor-car is cquivn- j lent to tho nerves of the human body. ! AVlien the nerves ar© functioning pro- j perly, we are not aware of their pro- i sence, but let them get out of order and they quickly make them selves felt by the various aches and pains to which our bodies become subject. The motorists who appreciate easy running cars which never give them any cause for worry always have their batteries regularly tested by the Christchurch Battery C 0.., 86, Ktlmorc Street, 3 doors east of Papamii Road. ’Phono 1959 196TTS
