to the back Of this member. The saw
tooth edge engaged the lip, ratchet
fashion, regardless of the wear on the
lining of the band which the low-speed
pedal tightens around the drum in the
transmission.
To engage the teeth, the driver
pushes the pedal forward until the car
is on low speed, and then, with an
upward movement Of the knee, he
causes the teeth to engage. To release
the pedal, the pressure is applied on
the portion Of the plate just below the
pivot, SO that the teeth rise and dis
engage. When driving under ordinary
conditions, the drivers foot prevents
the teeth from dropping to the level
of the lip, and If he wishes to travel
on low speed for few minutes, he
presses the pedal forward in the usual
way; but whenever he finds it neces-
sary to travel for considerable dis
lance on low speed, the teeth are al
lowed to fall, thus engaging the lip

CARE Of BRAKES
PREVENTS WEAR
Equalization and Proper Atten-
ton Of Cars Machinery Are
Explained.
NEGLECT OF CONTROL RODS
clevises and Other Parts Are Not
Provided With Any Means Of Lu-
brication-Become Quite Noisy
and RattIesome.

The automobile owner is hardly to
be blamed because he neglects the
brake and control linkage on his car.
It is all beneath the chassis, and 1t is
certainly not arranged in such way
he can give it any marked attention.
The clevises, and other parts Of the
points Of the control rods are not pro.
vided with any means Of fabrication,
so that there seems to be little or moth
Ing that the owner can do to take
care of this part of the car.
Yet it is the brake and control
rods which eventually become the
most noisy and rattlesome parts Of
the car. The little yoke connec-
lions with which the little ends of
the rods are held together, become
full Of grit and are naturally bound
to wear.
The connections through which the
brakes are operated are simple and
easy to follow. The pedal or lever
is pivoted and connected with q set
of rods and linkage arranged in such
way as to transmit the motion of
the foot or hand in reduced and
hence more powerful leverage to the
brake mechanism.
Brake Adjustment.
In adjusting brakes some precau.
lions must be kept in mind. In the
case Of the foot-brake, which is gen.
orally the external or contracting
type, the bands bear on the exterior
Of the drums In securing the braking
effect. There is generally an adjust
ment on the exterior part Of the
brake itself where the adjustment can
be made without any danger of
changing the throw Of the linkage.
This is very important, because If
the throw or centers Of the links are
changed in their relationship they
will be affected by the motion Of the
springs.
Perhaps you have noticed in some
cars that If you watch the brake
pedal, it will move in or out as the
car springs are detected. The rea-
son for this is that the rod which
connects the brake linkage with the
brake operating units, or, in other
words, the last link in the chain Of
rods is centered so that the upward
and downward motion Of the chas.
sis centers about such a point in re.
iation to the pivot point Of the rod
that it becomes relatively longer or
shorter and consequently moves the
brake mechanism.
There are great many manufac-
turers who are not putting equalizers
on their cars and in these makes It is
very essential to see that the brakes
are adjusted uniformly.
How to Test Brakes.
An easy way to test the brakes is
to drive at about ten miles an hour
while some one is watching the car.
Apply the brake slightly and allow
the observer to note If one wheel was
locked before the other. II so, tight
en- the adjustment on the last wheel to
lock and try it again. The test can
be made on any kind of a road where
the surface beneath each wheel is the
same. A fiat piece Of asphalt makes
q very good place to hold such a test.

LET RAILROADS GIVE SERVICE

AS the matter OF most concern to
the public in the railroad wage dis
pute was the obtaining of more effic.
lent service, the country will look ex-
pectantly to the roads to make good"
now that wages have been adjusted
and rates have been increased to
take care Of the railroads increased
expenses. II the right disposition Is
shown toward meeting this demand,
there need be no fear of the public
attitude toward the higher rates. The
public was prepared for the advances
allowed the carriers by the Interstate
commerce commission, understanding
naturally, that the increase in wages
granted railroad employees would be
passed on to it through increased
freight and passenger rates.
The country has reached the point
where, II 1t can get improved service,
1t will not hesitate to pay any rates
that can be shown to be reasonable.
1t was painfully impressed during
government operation of the roads
that the latter had not been making
the money the people had been led to
unprecedented, that the carriers
were in a bad way through having
been restricted too closely in their
charges while the cost of the service
and materials they required was soar.
Ing. 1t Is common sense, IL we are
to avoid a collapse of the Transports
ton system, that the carriers cannot
be kept hobbled too much In their
charges while everything they have
to buy is mounting In price. or
course, this does not mean that the
public will submit forever to the "vic-
iOus circle" In price.making, but that,
until things are stabilized, the rail
roads will have to be allowed what
ever rates are necessary to keep the
service going. 1t will contribute to
prosperity to put the roads In a con.
dition to buy the rolling stock Of
which they stand I'm such dire need.
The first essential OF prosperity Is
to get the arteries of trade into
smooth and vigorous working condi
ti0n. Nothing would contribute more
to bringing down prices of necessities
than efficient transportation service.
