The Russian political situation has
become calmer. Premier Kerensky
has withdrawn his resignation, and
there are continued indications of
the strengthening Of the morale Of
the Russian armies on the south
western front. With all political
parties behind Premier Kerensky in
his effort to solidify the Provisional
Government, it will be possible for
him to carry out stronger measures
for the safety of the revolution. The
new head of the armies, General
kOrnil0ff, also will be able to use
more stringent means in keeping
the Russian soldiers to their duty.

HARDING "sKIDDING''
AND THE USE OF THE
EMERGENCY BRAKE

Upon the records of the motor We
Alcle department q large percentage
sc serious accidents are charged to
'skidding," says Commissioner Sto-
ocIrel In q recent statement of interest
TO autoists. Investigation has led to
ne present conclusion that the skid is
caused by lack of proper driving
knowledge.
II Is common to find drivers other
~ise competent and in many cases ex-
pert whose only idea Of proceeding
down a wet and slippery hill is to
coast with clutch out and the speed
governed by the use Of the foot brake.
This Is always a dangerous proceed
Ing moments thought will at once
chow that this method must result in
retarding or perhaps entirely stopping
the driving wheels which become at
once. to all intents and purposes, run
hers, and, as they cannot turn, must
side.
II the spot on the highway where
such condition is produced has even a
aIight crown, or tip to one side or the
other, a skid, more or less serious, at
once results.
TO prevent sliding and skidding the
driving wheels must be kept turning,
0f q this is readily accomplished by
Keeping the engine coupled in gear.
An experienced and well trained oper-
ator going down a grade or hill in
v ct weather, and usually at all times
ncver coasts, but invariably uses his
engine in gear. For a long hill he will
also turn off his ignition and use
compression and footbrake, and some
times his emergency as well, to hold
his car at proper speed. If all driv-
crs would adopt this practice, skid
ding would soon be past history.
At the hearings of the department,
large number of collisions between
machines being considered, it has ap-
peared that the emergency or hand
brake is seldom set before the coli
reason for this presents itself, name
Is, this brake is so rarely used for
purposes of control of the car while
81 motion that the driver is not prac-
ficed in such use. Consequently when
the emergency for which it could be
useful confronts the driver, he does
not use 1t because he is not trained
ana IN readiness.
AS q matter of fact this brake can
be used to good effect for other pur-
poses than to hold the car while at
standsti1l, and especially as an alter
nate to the foot brake, going down
grades and hills.
a great many cases of overheated
and burned brakes can be saved, ii
each brake does half the work. It is
