Proper Braking Devices Are Quite Essential at All ° | Times. _ Brakes are the only safety device | On the motor car and when it is con- sidered that faulty or improperly ad- Justed brakes can be quickly correft- od and 'made to function properly it is ofttimes criminal negligence to al- | fow them to go unattended to. In case brakes are not working Jroperly. it is very likely that thay ave become coated with oil or ease, which acts as a lubricant. This condition is dangerous, for it may cause the brakes to slip when applied. At the earliest opportunity the lining and brake drum should wiped clean with kerosene, The brake lining may have be- eome worn so that insufficient pres- sure ig brought to bear against the fevolving metal drum and the car cannot be stopped quickly. A few | adjustments which any mechanic ean make while 'you wait, will often compensate for the reduced thickness of the worn lining. If the lining has become worn be- yond the margin of safety, it is best to take no chances, but to have the brakes relined. In the selection of | new brake lining, the motorist should | be guided by the experience of the leading automotive engineers, who have made numerous analyses and tests of various kinds of brake lining materfals. The wise motorist is satis- fied not alone in being able to drive @ car, but thankful that he can stop #6. He values a smooth, short stop mo less than he appreciatesa quick, easy getaway, Watch your brakes-- enjoy great comfort and safety. And while brakes are vital in the safe operation of a car, they should not be used any more than necessary. The best way to avold brake troubles is to use the motor as much as pos- sible as a brake on the hills. If you . are going down a steep hill, put the oar in second and let the motor hold 4t back. If the hill is very steep, get into low and slide down.

It is safer and greatly prolongs the life of your brakes. --p---------- P4484 2442 2290002 * y + MOTOR NOW CLASSED © _ * AS AN "ECONOMY" One combination which is showing real team work in slashing at the high cost of liv- ing 1s the automobile and the fmproved condition of high- ways. Years ago an automobile was purely a luxury, later it be- came a necessity, and now it is @ real economy. By means of it the city dweller is enabled to live ontsiie of the high-rent dis- tricts without sacrificing valu- able business hours. Furthermore, he can now live where he can have his own garden and laugh at the soaring prices of tood products.

Few moforists realize that a com- paratively large quantity of water gradually accumulates in the crank case, mixing with the oil and form- ing an emulsion, which has im- paired lubricating qualities. This accumulation of water is more pro- nounced in winter than in summer, and is found to a greater extent as the number of cylinders irtreases. This brings out the importance of changing the oil every 1,000 miles, and for the best lubricating results every 500 miles, in which case the old oil may be run through a cham- ois skin to remove the water, after which it may be used again.

There are no less than 375,000 motor trucks in the United States equipped with uneumatic tires, and DOES THE MOTOR CAR BENEFIT ONE'S HEALTH ? cam Autos Will Be Means of Add- ing Years of Life, Says Physician. Dr. Henry William Smith, writer on sclentific subjects, classifies the benefit of motoring under three heads--physical, mental and voli- tioned. "It is the muscles of the arms to- gether with those of the chest and abdomen, that pre-eminently and habitually suffer. Here we find un- development, softness, flabbiness and accumulation of unwholesome fat. And it is precisely lere that the steer- ing wheel of the car may come to the rescue, It is true that the handling of this wheel, particularly if the car is small, is not a very strenuous form of exercise, but that instead of be ing a defect, is on esssential merit. It is not desirable that the little muscles should be called upon to make a powerful effort. Their best | interests are met by precisely the kind of efforts that the steering wheel, supplemented by the handling of the gear and brake lévers, calls for: mild, but persistent action." DriWilliams points out that, in ad- dition to the exercise, the motorist has been in the open air, buffeting the winds inheling ample quantities | of oxygen to meet the increased needs of the accelerated currents of blood corpuscles ,and that digestion and assimilation are thereby Mactli- tated and the toxic products accumu lated through former inaction pro- gressively, are ¥n increased measure oxidized and (eliminated. MANIA FOR SREED WEARS OUT TIRES Not Only Dangerous to Others But Costly to Owners ? The automobile speeder sows more seeds than those of possible disaster when he "lets her out". He is also speeding up his tire expenditure, for fast driving is destructive to any cas- ing, according to a local tire expert. If the speed mania is so strongly| entrenched that the victim cannot desist from the dangerous sport, he aveid the prodigal purchase of tires: No. 1 is to ride slowly over rough roads and take turns cautiously. No. 2 is to increase the pressure in his tires from two to six pounds above normal. Specially built tires, such as used by racing drivers are required for speeding. The faster a tire is driven the more heat it generates internally Normal speed will not raise the tem- perature of rubber to a dangerous point. 275,000 running on solid tires.

Of the 700 different dimming de- vices for headlights tested by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Depart- ment, only 60 have been passed by the commissioner. Between 1,500 and 2,000 farmers recently attended a motor tractor demonstration at Knoxville, a little town in Iowa. Fifteen tractors were entered and 13 completed the plow- ing. .

The car carries an electric storage battery equipment and a large motion picture machine. speed over a rough road that they do Gver a boulevard, and they won- der why it is that their tires wear away so rapidly. Watch the speeder negotiate a rough road just about as fast as his car can travel and notice the rear wheels as they strike an obstacle. The shock comes so abruptly and so forcibly that they are usually raised off the ground. Perhaps only an inch or so, but during that fraction of a second when the wheels are off the ground the tension is released on the engine and .the wheels spin much faster. S Consequently when they strike the road the ground itself must do some break work, having "the same effect on the tire thread as that of a rasp being run over its surface, An average speed of twenty-five miles per hour gets the most mile- age out of the average tire.
