Uneven Brakes Do
Great Damage to Tires

n
When you bring your automobile to
sharp halt before the appraised hand
of the policeman at the street intersec-
tion have you noticed at times how the
rear wheels of the automobile ahead
of you act? Have you noticed one
buzz round while the other locks?
That popularity is the penalty of
faulty brake adjustment. The locked
tire is called upon to resist the pres
sure of automobile and pavement alone,
the consequence very often being a
badly gouged tread.
Before a man sets out in his automo-
bile he should give a thought to his
brakes. He should see that both brakes
grasp with equal effectiveness and that
the brake Innings are clean and dry.
If one brake is looser than the other,
not taking hold simultaneously, not
only is the locked tire damaged, q great
piece gougcd out of the tread, but the
safety of the motorist himself is jeop-
ardized. Properly adjusted brakes give
him perfect control over his motor and
respond to his touch.
| have seen tires with a section the
size of mans hand gouged out of the
tread when uneven brake tension
caused one wheel to lock and slide
while the other rolled. Let the wheels
keep turning, but under the Stacking
pressure of the brake, and your car
will be brought to a standstill more
quickly, with greater safety and with
out detriment to 'tires..-B. 2. Goodrich

Country Responds to
Motor Truck Reaction

"It is certainly most gratifying to
see how wonderfully the business peo-
pie of this country have responded to
the Presidents appeal for cooperation
IN every line Of industry for relieving
the terrible freight congesticns which
now exist" said Harry j. De Bear, man.
ager of the local Maxwell branch.
every business man to-day appre-
ciates that the motor truck is factor
of considerable Importance in great
many different ways in this war. 1t
has made possible, as a means of con-
veyancc, things that few years ago
would have seemed almost ridiculous
to even think Of. The past winter, which
has been the severest we have expe-
rienced in years, has really done more
to prove to the world at large the prac-
ticability and indispensabilty of the
motor truck for hauling ard delivery
purposes, and to prove that in these
days, in conducting an up-to date en-
tcrprse, it is practically an utter i'm
possibility to accomplish the desired re-
suits with any other than motor driven
vehicles.
81 certainly think that ene of the
chief factors in winning the war for us
is going to be the continued improve
ment of general commercial conditions
throughout the country and there is
nothing that has ever been given to the
business man as betterment for gem
eral conditions more helpful than the
faithful motor truck.
From what l have CLEANED from
some of the truck representatives along
Automobile Row. the hearty response
of the New York merchants has been
one far beyond expectations, and at the
present time in order to prove the is
sue of the motor truck being the Good
| Samaritan as the logical factor in ad-
justing freight conditions, practically
every motor car representative in the
country has begun to bring cars from
their birthplace to their selling place by
driving them over the roads. and it has
surely become common sight to see car
avan after caravan Of motor trucks
driving over the roads. East, West
North and South. through all kinds OF
weather. under all conditions, over al
kinds of roads. and always arriving al
their destinations ready to be turnel

Lien Law Is Interpreted
in Opposed Ways by
Two Legal Au-
thorities

Whether or not an automobile
dealer has the right to hold for pay
ment of a previous service bill car
which is brought into his station on
any subsequent occasion is question
brought to the attention Of this de-
partment recently. A motorist who
owed bill for work done on several
occasions in the seven or eight months
preceding took his car into the service
station again to have adjustments made.
There had been some dispute over
the items Of the pending bill or bills
and no settlement had been reached.
When the motorist sent his chauffeur
to get the car, having provided him
with the money to pay for the work
just ordered, the dealer refused to re-
lease the automobile. He said he would
not until the standing bill was paid.
The automobilst was Of the opinion
that the dealer had no right to do this
any more than any other person could
seize upon property he happened to
find to settle any outstanding ac-
count, unless the creditor had first
sued and obtained judgment against
the debtor. The question was referred
to this department and an effort made
to determine the law. The results of
thority to whom the question is sub
mitted contends that the dealer, under
the particular circumstances, is justi-
fed in holding the car. Another au-
thority holds the reverse.
Charles Thaddcus Terry, who for
years has heen an authority on legal
matters connected with the automobile
offers the opinion that the dealer in
this case has the law on his side. Mr.
Terry is counsel for the Automobile
Dealers Association and for other i'm
Eortant motor trade and sport organ
izations. His opinion is for variety
of reasons to be listened to with at,
tention and respect. He quotes Sec
tion 1S4 Of the lien law of the State
of New York. as follows:
The Lien Law
A person keeping a garage or a
place for the storage, maintenance,
keeping or repair of motor vehicles,
as defined by Article II of the
highway law. and who in cornec-
tion Herewith stores, maintains,
keeps or repairs any motor vehicle
or furnishes PaSOlene or OIner sup
plies therefor at the request or
with the consent of the owner,
whether such owner be a condi-
tonal vendce or mortgagor re-
naming in possession or otherwise,
has a lien upon such motor vehicle
for the sum due for such storing,
maintaining, keeping Or repairing
of such motor vehicle or for fur
nishing gasolene or other supplies
therefor and may dctain such mo-
tor vehicle at any time it may be
lawfully in his possession until
such sum is paid.

"that if the keeper of Il garage or ser
vice station repairs an automobile a

WAR TIME FOOD PRACTICES
BEST FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

Declaring war time economies in
food best for the public health, and
adding that for this reason they
should continue, Prof! Henry c. Shc--
man of Columbia University, told the
American Health Association, in ses-
sion in Chicago, of the benefits that
have come to thousands of Americans
because of the more appropriate diet
Prof. Sherman referred specifically to
the increased use of fruits, vegetables
and other Punishable for the sake of
saving wheat, meat and sugar, and
said as consequence the general the
general standard of health has been
greatly improved,
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, New York
City's public health commissioner, and
former University of Michigan pro-
fessor, said that food saving and food
control must continue because of high
prices and the small prospects of their
decrease until the soldiers come home.
Federal and state food control must
be continued and expanded" DR..
Copeland declared, "and such func-
tons as are entirely local turned over
to municipalities. An honest and CO.
operative market under municipal di-
rection would increase food shipments
sufficiently to lower prices"

SHORT RATIONS IN FRANCE AMI
ITALY


Lansing, Dec. 26.rThe signing, of
the armistice lifted the cloud of fifty
years and France broke into joy and
color and dancing. She walked at last
free in the sunshine and every good
seemed possible at once. Peace, how
ever, added nothing to food supplies
and hardship must go on until next
harvest. Victor Boret, the French
Food Controller, announced shortly af-
ter the armistice was signed that it
would be impossible to increase the
wartime rations to civilians, but pro-
missed lower prices. Mle''
To Italy, peace brought only in
creased, food difficulties as the newly
acquired territory and prisoners added
about 100000 people who, must be
fed. With; admirable foresight the
government lssef aside great Store Of
food for the Immediate feliefs of the
redeemed provinces and returning
prisoners, and prepared to face the
situation. s,-
Rationing is vigorously enforced by
the card system and war time alTot-
ments of food have been severely cut.
The new ration provides monthly
allowance of IL pounds of bread and
81 pounds of other food for each per-
son. This is only a pound Of food a
day and seems very little at any time,
but especially meagre in this hour of
victory.

SUGGESTS PLANTING
MORE BLACK WALNUTS

East Lansing, Dec i24.-The plant
ing of few black walnuts in every
woodlot in the state is Immediately
necessary if the nation is to be assur-
ed in the future of supply Of this es-
sential wood, according to Prof. A. X.
Chittenden, head of the school of for
estry at M. A. G. The available re-
serve of blacknut, Professor Chitten-
den said, was dangerously depleted
during the war.
Black walnut is much used for air.
plane parts, for gunstocks, and for
other military purposes" explained
the M. A. G. man. an consequence
our black walnut supplies have run
low. Inasmuch as it requires long
time for this timber to grow, imme-
date replanting should be practiced
wherever any black walnut has been
removed, as insurance for the future.
"The nuts should be planted in the
fall or winter, hen the soil begins to
freeze. If planted too early the squir-
Fels are liable to dig them up. If
planted in the late fall of early win
ter, the freezing and thawing Of the
