New-York tribune., 1919-08-03

There seems to be no let-up in the
picking on automobile owners and
drivers. The orders issued to the
police reserves to make sidewalk re-
ports of violations observed certainly
ought to result in an enormous in
crease of petty business of an ex-
tremely small time nature for the
traffic court. Not only that, but it is
very doubtful whether the kind and
character of violations so observed is
likely to be of Importance enough to
justify the issuance of summonses and
the clogging up of the courts to the
extent that will certainly result
from encouraging police reserves to
go gumshoeing for automobile Of
tenders.
Magistrate Houses example to the
contrary notwithstanding, there isn't
cents worth of value in sidewalk
testimony as to speeding cases. No
fair judge would ever hold man on
charge based on a pedestrians curb
stone estimate of a mans speed, al
most regardless of how expert the
complainant might prove to be as to
judging speed.
The amount of attention directed by
police authorities to automobile affairs
almost daily is serving to clinch the

automobilist is a dangerous character.
An automobilist, you know, may be one
of your best friends and acquain-
tances, and you may regard him, when
dlsmounted, as pretty nice fellow
and one who wouldn't do anything to
anybody. But when you come to re-
gard him in the light of what you
hear said by officials about his class
you certainly get the impression that
this same fellow you think you know
we'll enough is very bad and danger
everything that is stated about motor
lists as class by such thoroughly
unprecedented persons as those who ar
rest them and those others who judge
them, or, rather, not judge, but SEN
tence them when they are arrested.
One main difference between auto
mobile traffic and street railway traf-
fic is that there is constant increase
in the amount of rolling stock in au-
tomobile traffic. Automobilists, being
charged with the duty of looking out
for their own traffic interests, attend
to them by getting more cars. People
who run the street railways, being
only public servants, don't increase the
number of cars. Therefore, even if
there is an increase in the number of
accidents caused by automobiles, this
increase is proportionately nowhere
near as great as the increased num-
Der of automobiles, and probably does
not represent as large an increase as
in the case of street railways. This is
point too often lost sight of. Of
course, averages in statistics make no
difference to the man who is fatally
hurt by an automobile, and there are,
unfortunately, great many cases of
persons who are unnecessarily so in
jured.
In the main, however the automo-
bilist is not a person who puts in his
time manning and Staying, and if there
were less of hue and cry raised
against motorists by persons who seem
to regard it as necessary and impor-
tant they should continually pick on
the man who owns a car he chances
are that accidents would tend to de-
crease. 1t is certainly not soothing
to the state of mind of any person to
New-York tribune., 1919-08-03

Good brakes on the "old boat" are
about the best form of life insurance
the auto driver can have In fact, they
are about the most important part of
the car. A pretty poor sort of en-.
gine will run the car, but to stop it re-
quires the best there is to be had.
Pretty good" will not do in an emer-
gency. You need motor to get there,
but without good brakes you may get
too far. Like the orator, you need
good terminal facilities.
There is nothing the matter with the
from the factory. There will be little
the matter with them at any time if
they get the proper care-if oil is put
on where it is needed and kept off
where it is not needed, and if worn
parts are renewed in time to prevent
accident. The brakes will hold the
car as long as they are in condition;
they are sufficient for all needs so
long as they are in order. 1t is the
drivers business to see that they are
even if he cannot take time to look
after the motor. 1t may be a matter
of life and death before the garage is
reached again.
Every car has two sets of brakes,
operating independently of each other
and either one should be in shape to
hold the car at standstill, or, in
chauffeur phrasing, "slide the wheels" :"
There Othpr Of hco
the car which will be mentioned later
But the average owner is careless
about the brakes. Recently 1 rode in
a car where the driver was afraid to
trust either set. The foot brake held
under ordinary conditions, but was no
good for sudden emergency stop.
The hand brake would hold the car as
long as you held the lever, but could
not be set, as the ratchet was worn
and every time we stopped on grade
] held the lever unless there was a
convenient curb to run the wheel
against.
Some time ago, out in the country
] came across a smashed new Ford
which on a long hill had burned out
the brake lining. because the driver
did not know, or forgot, that there was
another set of brakes which he could
use. He might have cut off the igni-
tiOii anu picSSSQ lic ilISt SpScU pCudl
which would have kept him at moderate
speed by engine compression or, with
this particular car, might have pushed
the reverse pedal, which would have
been better still.
Drivers should learn to use first the
foot and then the emergency brake on
long hills. This alternating allows
each in turn to cool off, for where there
is so much friction heat cannot be
avoided, and only by alternating the
brakes is there safety from burned
out Innings.
The driver should learn also how tc
Use the engine as brake. BY engaging
/; lower gear and cutting off the igni-
tion the engine under compression will
retard the speed sufficiently so that
moderate use of the foot brake is
enough for safety. Likewise safety
calls for slow speed in descending a
long hill, as less heat is developed, or
at least it is developed more slowly
Brake Innings nowadays do not actu-
ally burn out being made of an as
bestos composition. But they char and
lose frictional qualities and the fabric

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

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-
tlon 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.

thing makes a poor driver even worse
and it doesn't help q good driver to

But as long as it works out to the

is likely to crumble away from the

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 overfowing
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-

This consists of long, thin strip
of hard felt wound around the shaft.

in a direction opposite to the forward
motion of the shaft. 1t should be

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

which is considerably above the high

an encouraging fact that this State
