DRIVING MOTOR WITH BRAINS
Amateur Must Learn That Brakes Are
Least Effective When They Are
Most Needed.

Z + y
One Of the first things for the anna
teur driver to learn is that, unfortu-
nate as 1t may be, the brakes are less
effective when they are most needed,
writes III. w. Slausen in Leslie's. When
descending steep hills the weight Of the
car is, to large degree, taken of of
the tires, for the force of gravity is
straight downward. This means that
the wheel on even a heavy car will
slip more easily, when coasting down
a steep grade, and skidding, Is, there
fore, far more liable to take place.
With the engine positively connected,
however, and turning the wheels over
at slow rate Of speed slipping, and,
therefore, skidding, cannot take place.
The other condition in which braking
effect is reduced to minimum is on
slippery streets. The brakes may be
so set that they are able to lock the
wheels and cause them to slide even
on the driest pavement. but the brak-
ing effect Of sliding wheels Is not near
ly SO great as that obtained before
sliding is allowed to take place. With
slippery pavement 1t must be remem-
bered that the brakes can only be used
effectively to the point when sliding is
lust about to occur.

AUTO is ESSENTIAL
TO AMERICAN PEOPLE
Necessary to Maintain Standard
Of Human Efficiency.
Il Would Be Just About as Easy to
Get Along Without Telephone,
Telegraph, Typewriter, Street
Car or Elevator.

Gould the American people get
along without the automobile?
Undoubtedly they could, but no cas-
Ter than they could get along without
typewriter, telegraph, telephone, street
car and elevator. 1t is necessary in or
der to maintain present standards Of
human efficiency. It is one Of the
things that has made us great in
achievement, because 1t has kept US In
close touch with others. It has re-
duced miles to yards, hours to min
utes.
Fulfill Obligations.
There is, therefore, q feeling in Off
cial, as well as in civic circles, that
after the automobile plants have full
filed their obligations and handed
over to the governms nt whatever ia
cilities are necessary for the manu-
facture Of munitions, they can best
fulfill their duty to help win the war
by building plenty Of cars.
Thus this year will see many Of our
factories busy all night and day sup
plying the boys tower there" with
their requirements, and the folks left
behind with theirs. In both these du-
ties-to the soldier and to the civilian
the automobile industry will be help
ing materially to rout the enemy.
Just as physical fitness in the sol
der is the prime essential on the bat
tlefield, so it is equally important that
there be at hand every aid to prompt
and energetic action on the part Of
those at home.
Beneficial Results.
There is scarcely phase or feature
of business life which the automo-
bile has not entered with beneficial
results. 1t carries thousands where
railroads and street cars cannot pene-
trate. It is ready at call.
These facts are more generally real
lied than ever since we entered the
war. People have ceased to think of
the automobile in terms Of pleasure
only. They know, by proof Of eye
and personal experience, that it is q
great and indispensable utility.

One billion FIVE hundred million
quarts OF home-canned produce in
1913!
A goal has been set for the 1918
home Gamers. The stupendous size
of 1t might make 1t appear impossible
Of attainment were 1t not for the fact
that the American family's ability to
can, in a patriotic situation, has been
demonstrated. The great canning eff
fort for the year 1917 has been est-
mated at $4,000, 600 packs by officials
of the United States department of
agriculture. But there are still thou
sands Of untitled Jars in every town
ship Of the United States, the special
lists say, In setting the new goal and
advising early preparations for the
1913 campaign. If slogan is needed,
"Fill every jar in every home, keep
every Jar busy throughout the year."
Is suggested.
Pack for Last Year.
The method of arriving at the esti-
mated countrywide pack for last year
is interesting. Eight Of the principal
featuring rubber jar rings reported a
production for use in home canning
of 836761, 24S rubber rings. Retailers
and jobbers, 1t is understood, carried
over from the year 1916 large supply
of rubber jar rings. Taking into ac-
count the special caps that were sold
and the use OF jar rings second time,
the officials believe it is safe to esti-
mate the number of packs made in
homes last year at 850,O0O,O0O.
Quart Jar for Canning.
Canning in most homes is done In
quart jars. It is reasonable to assume
that the two-quart packs may be used
to Offset the pint packs, specialists
say, and that therefore the total pack
estimated might safely be expressed in
quarts. Placing general average
value of 20 cents quart upon this
product, the estimated value Of her.
metically sealed food canned in homes
is $17O,00O,000. In most cases this
food was produced or the farm or in
the backyard garden, was canned In
the family kitchen. stored in the pam
try, and is being consumed in the
home. The transportation facilities Of
the country were not taxed in the pro-
| duction of this food and in most cases
1t was produced on soil that otherwise
would have been idle. with labor that
would have been unable to find useful
| employment.

FEDERAL SERVICE SHOWS
MORE SUGAR CONSUMED

Returns from the first war
emergency food survey made by
the q. s. department Of agricul-
ture indicates that the amount
Of sugar consumed In 1917
was about 1873 ounds per
capita whereas the average
annual consumption for the
five-year period ending in 1915
was S4.7 pounds per capita. The
evident increase in consumption,
says the department, Is due In
part to the increased manufac-
ture for export Of commodities
like condensed milk and to an
increase in population coupled
with an increased consumption
by individuals and to an In
crease in consumers stocks. &
