Brakes Important
Factor in Autos

when & is fully realized that The en-.
tire safety OF the occupants OF an auto
mobile may depend upon the brakes In
critical situations. too much Importance
cannot be attached to the construction
Of the braking system. declares c. J.
corkhill OF the Nebraska-Haynes Auto
sales company. distributors
Without adequate surface at the rear
drums. full braking cannot be realised.
The Haynes designers have been very
liberal In providing an unusually large
area on the Haynes Hight six car. which
has total brskng surface OF sos square
inches. In addition both the emergency
brake lining Is thoroughly protected from
ali mud and dust. This feature OF pro
tection eliminates the wear on the lining
that would arse from the grinding action
arising when exposed ca the outside oil
: the drum. and far greater reliability
may be placed In securing the fun effect
OF the brakes.

~ yesterday to hold mounted
drill Horses were hired to
haul the apparatus to the Monument
grounds. where it fired the salue Of
eleven guns in honor Of Commodore
Barry. a statue Of whom was unveiled
in Franklin Park yesterday. AS 1t was
necessary to pay for the horses for all
day Just to fire the salute it was de-
cided to have the battery make use of
the animals to get in some mounted
drill.
The men reported to the armory early
in the morning, where they found the
horses waiting. After some moments
spent In adjusting the harness the
horses were hitched to the caissons
ed off on its drill After some time in
training the hired horses to act like real
field artillery animals. with the aid OF
a few jabs of the spurs, they we're
finally made to obey commands. Sew
eral times the battery unlimbered and
prepared to go into action, and it was
an Interesting spectacle for the crowds
who saw it marching about 1.-THE streets
The men did very well at the drill.
The manner in which the battery
fred the commodore's salute did credit
to It's excellent training. The field pieces
were stationed on the Monument grounds.
as that was the nearest place where
the salute could be fired without break
ing windows and Earring houses. In
order to get the correct time to fire
the salute the signal section OF the
battery was stationed on the tops OF
various tall buildings. From Franklin
Square, where the unveiling took place.
the signal was flashed by semaphore
flag to one of the men on top of the
Franklin School, who, in turn. signaled
to another on top Of the Southern build
ing. He gave the signal Attention"
followed by the letter IF" the signal
code for fire" In turn, the signal went
to a soldier beside the battery in the
Monument grounds. Within ten seconds
from the first signal the big field pieces
were booming forth their salute at three
second intervals.
After the days work was over the
men expressed the hope that they would
soon have another chance to obtain a
mounted drill.
