TAKING CARE OF
BRAKES ON AUTO
Much Care Must he Given Drums and
Bands Around Wheels After
Long Trip.


at q time when thousands Of mo-
florists are planning their summer
cross country trips, the Importance OF
carefully adjusted brakes in the prop
er operation Of the motor car assumes
increasing Importance" says a local
travelling on all sorts Of roads and
steep grades, the condition Of the
brakes is a matter Of vital Importance
TO the occupants OF the car In this
connection. we have no further to look
for an example OF forethought, than
TO the drivers OF racing cars entered IN
a big event. Before any big race, not
Only the drivers but the racing off
Gals examine the brakes OF the Var1-
Gus cars, and If found lacking in any
respect, the car is barred from the
event. both for the safety OF the driver
himself and other contestants in the
race
Many forms Of lined brakes are in
5uI ed more by water than they are by
oil that is. water viii cause poorer
operation than oil After a tour, the
bands require a, thorough cleaning, be-
cause dirt, water and even small stones
may have gathered between the band
and the drum The dirt contains sand
and the sand cuts the drum and also
INJURIES the lining Heat is also a fac
tor. as when the band is forced against
the drum through improper adjustment.
This causes band disinte grafton, espe-
cia1ly when the hand brake is used
ouu little.
In the racing events, the most ex-
perienced pilots have frequent recourse
to their hand brakes to relieve the
wear on their service brakes and allow
them TO cool, and the tourist may well
profit after their example when on a
long run Owners should make II q
point to remove the bands from the
drums as often as three times a year
and carefully examine the bands for
defects In replacing old bands. they
should be given a good cleaning in

RESPONSIBILITY PUT
PART ON PEDESTRIAN
Important Decision Handed Down from
Wisconsin Supreme Bench
in Motor Case

in Motor Case
The supreme court of Wisconsin ex-
tends advice to automobilists in an
important decision which absolFes Il.
J. Lindenmann, a Milwaukee motorist,
from blame in connection with the in
jury of Mrs. Catherine Parles of Mil
Waukee, who was struck by Linden
mann's car The decision establishes
an important precedent in the matter
Of drivers liability and is greeted with
satisfaction by motorists, inasmuch as
the pedestrian is charged with at least
some responsibility.
The court says in part: Many pru-
dent chauffeurs deem il safer TO pass
in front rather than behind persons
standing in the street. By so doing,
they pass in the line of vision Of per
sons standing and are less likely to
frighten them even though they come
closer. A driver cannot be charged
with prescience nor with a reasonab bic
anticipation Of possible, but only prob
able results Lndenmann had every
reason to believe that from the time
he entered National avenue he was
within the line Of vision Of Mrs. Parkes
where she stood waiting for the ap-
preaching car He took a course that
IN all prOba bility seemed to be out
side Of where she would be likely TO
De OF go, and yet where she would
see him That the fact turned out TO
be otherwise does not alter the case"
Mrs. Parkes was injured in 1908
while standing in the street waiting
for a car. Evidence showed that as
Ltndenmann attempted to pass in front
OF her she walked forward He then
turned his car to pass behind her, but
she stepped back and was struck A
verdict Of $500 damages in the first
trial was set aside as perverse a
jury in the second trial awarded her
$4,000, but the trial judge reduced this
to 1880. The supreme court now or
ders a reversal of judgment and dis
missal Of the case on the merits Of
Lindenmann's plea.

Home affairs continue to challenge our
attention more than foreign affairs" were
the words with which Miss Richards be-
gan her Monday morning talk on cur
rent topics in Woodward & Lothrop's :
auditorium yesterday. And the compre-
hensivc short survey OF the European
war situatio that followed was given
simply as staging for the presentation
Of the situation now uppcrmost In our
own country.
In the bare hour and a quarter that
followed Miss Richards managed. in her
own really wonderful manner OF putting
much thought into few words and many
words into short time. TO present the
facts In the recent diplomatic nesotia-
tons with Austria. reading entire the
note from Secretary Lansing and review
ing the facts OF the sinking of the
Ancona.
The touch Of Miss Richards own per-
sonal opinion OF the note was shown
when, having finished reading il. she
looked up at her audience and said in an
aside: "Some backbone to this. isn't
there" with an apology for the slang.
she said that In the note We seemed 10
H.. insisting on having Austria eat
crow" and that unfortunately Austria
would rather eat almost anything than
crow at this particular time.
Miss Richards was in especially bril-
liant mood yesterday. and many times
she had to stop in the rapid-fire OF her
discourse to wait for the laughter ana
applause of her audience to subside. In
on the newspaper account
OF the Austrian note yesterday morning
she said: You can always take the
hea dimes with a grain Of salt-and some
times with n whole salt cellar full. Later
she brought out a laugh by referring &c

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
Frances Haverxal.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Frances Ridley Havergal born on De
| ccmber II in 1886. made her name ia
nous as hymn writer, and many of hel
hymns arc found In the standard collec.
tions Of today-among them 20. Saviour
Precious Saviour" Golden Happy Are
Sounding" Thou Are Coming. o. My
Saviour and Thy Life Was Given
For Me-" Yet it has been said that Miss
Haversars biography was as helpful in
its influences as all her hymns.
She came of a musical family. Her
father was a writer OF sacred music, her
brother built an organ, remarkable in
its day. and a set of chimes that at
tracted attention. and her sisters were
also musical.
Frances was born at the rectory at
Ashley. Worcestershire where her father
was rector. She was gifted with a re-
markably>keen mind. but she was never
strong physically. For that reason her
father supervised her education careful
ly. to keep her from studying too hard.
When she was sixteen she went to Ger
many. where she studied for a year or
two. and there her interest I'm music was
deepened. She began at seven to write
poems. and very soon she was selling
them to the prominent religious periodi-
Gals OF the day
Besides writing poems. Miss Havergal
efited her fathers psalmody. and took
part in much philanthropic and chari-
table work. She also wrote tracts and
other forms of religious prose.

Miss Richards took considerable time
in her talk yesterday to a discussion OF
the problem now confronting congress in
raising sufficient funds to meet the de-
mands OF the government. and gave a
quick lucid explanation II the technical
difference of the direct and indirect tax
and the main points with regard to a pro-
tective tarin and tariff for revenue
only" She especially Interested her au-
dience when she reviewed the fact that
at the time Of the discussion of the
Payne Aldrich tariff discriminating duties
were laid on articles especially worn by
wcmen-feathers. laces. trimmings and
artificial hair. Here there was a ripple
OF suppressed laughter. a man in the
audience being heard above the rest and
in an instant Miss Richards added. .Oh.

switches
made up by the women of the country
and presented to Congress in protest
OF these discriminating tariff sched-
ules. The petition found its way to
the waste paper basket and the whole
affair was the subject of laughter.
That was four years ago" Miss
Richards remarked. They wouldn't
laugh that way now. They have got
a new vision"
The Presidents message to Congress
came in for good share of Miss
Richards talk and she presented
briefly the difficulties that face the
country in adopting any definite meth |

a great difficulty being due to the |
faa. this she quoted from a high Of |
fetal in the navy. whose name she |
would not give. that our army and |

said she. is just one of the difficulties |
that confronts Democracy.

to the lose OF efficiency sustained by |
the frequent change of the personnel |

tain language did she show her ap-
proval Of amending the constitution to |
lengthen the term of office of the |
