any kind. The other Mitchell car is

When a fabric-lined brake refuses
to hold properly it is not bad plan
to apply a little belt dressing. such
as may be obtained at any machine
shop or machinery supply house. The
difficulty. although generally the re-
suit of leaking from the end OF the
axle housing sometimes really is
the fault of the lining material, and
where such is the case the remedy
suggested is a good one. though only
lfemporary in its nature.
