Charles H.- Hurdleston member of the State Railroad Commission, testified in a case questioning the State High- way Commission of Law of Texas, that he had made a careful investiga- tion, and the motor truck, with hard roads, such as were proposed, would win out in competition with the rail- roads, He said the trucks had. the advantage of a free roadbed and trackage, small overhead, low operat- ing cost and flexibility in the matter of routes and direct service from the shipper to the consignee, with conse- quent quicker delivery. He urged the continuation of highway improve- ment, nevertheless, so that the means of transportation, which had proven superior, could grow still faster. Inspect Your Brakes. The brakes stand between you and danger, possibly between you and death. Keep them in good shape. At the first sign of looseness have] them tightened and replace linings when they are badly worn. W hen you start upon a drive you can test the brakes at the first open siyetch of road by speeding up and then apply- ing first one brake and then the oth- er. Ii the car bas a tendency to swing to one side you will know that one brake fails te take hold. Un- evenly adjusted brakes cause serious skids Brakes may slip because of worn linings, improper adjustment or grease on the brake bands. ' In tight- ening brakes do not overdo it. A tight brake drags on the engine and wastes power. If the brake band is very hot after driving you will know that it is too tight. Never apply brakes except when they are really needed. Checking momentum kills. power which . bas cost you money to produce. Fore- see your stops shut off the motor in advance and coast to a stop. Jam. ming on the brakes ruins tires and puts a severe strain on the entire me- chanism. In going down bills you will aveid burning vp brake linings by leaving the clutch in, rethrding the spark le- ver, and letting the motor hold the car back, adding slight pressure from thro have promptly.
