Lexington Brake
PreUeRts Accidents

Recent reports from Safety First
specialists point out the fact that a
large percentage Of automobile ac-
c dents are caused by defective
brakes Recognizing this fact the
Lexington Minute Man Six has been
equipped with an ingenious emer-
gcncy brake, which Is ample protec-
ton to the driver
This consists OF what has been
termed the "onc finger emergency
brnkg,' on account Of its ease In
handling. Tho pressure OF the little
finger Is sufficient TO bring the car
to a quick but gentle stop The
brake consists OF an eight-inch drum
mounted on the front universal joint
directly back OF the transmission
and applied by a hand lever In the
center OF tho driving compartment
This construction does away with
any necessity for the old method Of
the double braking system applied
to both rear wheels Furthermore
II does away with the double brake
rods and complicated linkage neces-
sary' to operate that typel ef brake
system. This eliminates many un-
necessary rods and makes a neater
looking chassis
With the old system, an improper
ly adjusted brake rod often caused
an uneven pull. resulting In the
rapid wear oon one tire. with the
Lexington system this is impossible
The brake is prevented from grab.
bling through a spring mechanism
that gives an elastic pressure on the
drum no matter how hard the pull
still another OF the great advan-
tagcs OF the brake. as was pointed
out by Frank Il Ansted, president
and general manager OF the com
~ Is tho easy accessibility of the
ke lever itself Located in ex-
actly the right place and ready to
the hand without any effort. II is
the best insurance against accidents
caused by faulty brakes that we
could devise" said Ansted.

THE FIRERUG IS A TRAITOR

IMN ordinary times worry
over possible fires is miti-
gated by the fact insur-
ance is carried. "I should
worry" is often the attitude of
the man whose property may
go up in flames.
Now the situation is wholly
different. The financial loss
is not the chief consideration.
The essential thing is that food
stuffs be protected against
loss, not so much to protect the
farmer or the insurance COM
pany but for the sake of the
government and the people of
those nations that fight for
freedom and world decency.
We need the food. An attack
on the source of food is an at
tack on the government. 1t is
not arson, it is treason.
