ings, but it is fairly constant. Notice
when driving, in the city particularly
the number of times the brake is an.
piled, and remember just how the
action is taking place in the mechan-
ISM. 1t will make you realize lubri,
cation necessities.
II you do not know where to oil the
brakes. look up the fabrication chart
OF your car in the manufacturers in
struction book and then locate each
bearing by inspection. You will find
that they collect plenty of road dust
winch needs to be removed, for this
grit makes excessive wear, and wear
means weak part which may break
when you need it most
The springs which hold the brake
bands clear of the drums need atten-
ton occasionally to see that they do
their duty and are not broken. An
other thing to watch is the condition
of the brake lining. 1t may become
greasy and will not grip the drum.
The garage man will burn out the
grease with a torch after removing
the bands, and you can save this ex-
pense by doing it yourself. Soak it in
kerosene and apply a match if you
have no torch.
The Innings wear thin, also, so that
the retaining rivets score the drum
Better let the repair man replace the
Innings, but if you are far from that
individual and mechanically inclined
you may do the job if yen can get the
proper lining material, and remember
n ri R,,t
job better left to the experienced
mechanic.
Perfect safety may be had only by
observing the foregoing and by keep
ing the brakes adjusted to work even
ly on each rear wheel. Adjustments
are made in front of each brake band
and on the brake linkage. To adjust,
jack up the rear wheels, set the brake
and turn the adjustment until each
brake when applied holds the two
wheels with equal force.

regard himself as constantly under
watch and surveillance. This sort OF
thing makes a poor driver even worse
and it doesn't help q good driver to
keep his calm.
But as long as it works out to the
interest of some one to crusade ana
campaign against the motorists, such
activities will no doubt be kept up. 1t
isn't fair treatment, but who expects
fair treatment from a crusader?
Figures gathered by S. M. How, gen.
eral sales manager of the Haynes Auto
mobile Company, show some interest
ing comparisons of motor cars and
railroad cars. "Thcre are 100000 au
tomobiles in use in the United States
TODAY" saws he. "At an average mile
age Of 5000, which is low. the total
EQUALS $4,000, 100000 miles per annum,
which, multiplied by an average Of
three passengers, means that the total
passenger mileage is 54,000,000,O00.
"The latest available figures show
that the official railroad passenger
mileage was 32,3S4,247, 1858. Automo-
biles, on basis of 800 days Of use and
an average of only two passengers, car
ried $500 100000 persons, compared
with the railroads total Of 976,303,6 SOP.
"The seating capacity of the 600O,-
900 automobiles in use in the United
States is estimated at not less than
3o,0Oo,o0o people. The total seating
capacity of railroad cars, Of which
there are 55,705, is about 100000
people To carry the people now car
ried by automobiles would require co.
900 new passenger coaches and 14,972
new locomotives, at combined cost of
$1,184, 100000, to say nothing of pas
senger tracks, depots and employees, at
an expense impossible to calculate.

and general family driving, but for
their own business needs they like the
medium sized car.
"The point many Of these wealthy
men make is that q medium sized car
offers them every convenience in the
way of comfort, speed and durability,
and does it at moderate price. They
are good enough business men to real
ize that for business driving, short
trips to the links, and general trans
portation, car Of this type is the best.
Moreover many of these men prefer
to drive their own cars. They get 6
lot of exhilaration and pleasure from
handling the wheel themselves. Having

a big heavy automobile for pleasura
driving is luxury that . wclI-to-do
family can Afford. But using this car
Tor short runs. is wasteful without
compensating advantages.
Business men view the automobile
to-day as it ought to be considered.
They look at it from the angle OF
transportation. Like railroads. cleo
trio cars and other public conveyances,
they measure the motor car on a basis
OF what it will do for given cost and
in comparison with the rest of the alto
mobiles on the market Paying for
pleasure, they say, is different from
paying for work, and the cars they
drive every day are work cars to
them"

is likely to crumble away from the
| wire woven within it.
A serious cause of brake failure is
oil. AS a rule this comes from the
differential, leaking through the axle
housing to the hub and OVERLOOKING
thence to the brake drums. This may
be the result of enthusiasm in lubrica-
ton, which prompts a too liberal guam
tity in the differential. Then when the
car turns off the crown of the road
the oil overfows the casing and the
sometimes the play Of the parts acts
like a pump and sends the oil out
along the axle. The remedy is using
less oil, and if that does not remedy
it put a felt washer in the axle hous-
ing
This consists of long, thin strip
of hard felt wound around the shaft.
Wind it, beginning at the wheel end,
in a direction opposite to the forward
motion of the shaft. 1t should be
| fastened to the shaft with shellac and
bound with cord in several places. 1t
need not cover more than six or eight
inches of the shaft.
A rather unusual case came to my
attention few days ago. Oil on the
brakes was traced back through the
differential case and through the
transmission shaft housing to the
transmission case. In this there was
pump action Of the gears which
forced oil through the transmission
shaft housing in such quantity that it
might be called literally food in the
differential and hubs. On this parti-
cular transmission case there is a
dome. The garage man who vainly
sought to stay the flood was told at
|
, air hole in this dome and it would end
the trouble by ending the pump action.
1t did.
But oil is needed upon other parts

DICKINSON WHEAT PERFECT
Kansas Acreage And High Condition
Unequealed.

The April report OF the Kansas
State Board of agriculture, ISSUED
today shows an average condition OF
90.32 per cent on an estimated total
of 10,75S,0 900 acres of growing win
ter wheat In Kansas. Such com
bination Of large acreage and high
condition has never been equailed In
any state or similar area in the
world.
The report shows an estimated
total Of $4,000 acres In Dickinson
county with 100 per cent condition
and no per cent failure. A small
acreage of wheat reported as possib-
ly worthless is mostly in western
counties and the result Of damage
done last fall by grasshoppeprs and
winds Present soil conditions are
reported uniformly as favorable for
continued growth and development Of
wheat excepting only the occasional
fields where 1t is too wet. While
April conditions are not always re-
liable barometers of harvest yields,
apprehension is reduced to a mini
mum this year.
