BRAkING LORE.

Suppose you are waiting on downtown
corner in any large city for chance to
cross the street. Motor cars are rlRhinn
by in an unbroken stream. Suddenly The
traffic officer blows his whistle. What do
YOU hearf The blasts Of the whistle are
drowned in the screaming OF brakes aud
the scraping of tires on the dry pavement.
There is nothing unusual ia TINT, you say.
Unfortunately, there isn't, because at
least 90 per cent of our 1000, 600 and more
automobile drivers handle their cara that
way. They drive with their brakes, They
lct the safety OF their cars rest entirely on
the serviceabihty OF their brakes. They
do not believe there is any need OF pre-
pairing to stop before conditions actually
require the slamruing on Of brakes.
Not so many years ago public opinion
declared n man good driver when he
could speed up TO point, jam on the
brakes and bring the car to n stop IN n
very short distance. In fact, this sort ot
"braking power" WIS supposed to be q
test NJ to the worth Of nn automobile.
This idea of good driving still prevails
10 some extent.
In the words of people whose Judgments
are generally accepted as true by those we
call sensible, good driver is one who has
his car under control Mt all times. He is
cautious in whatever he docs that he may
not endangcr the safety OF pedestrians,
other motorists. or his own car.
1t naturally ariScs, then, that man
who drives with hia brakes is not good
driver. This may seem like q strong state
ment, hut nanallsls will clear UP any
doubts III this regard,

Statement Says.

Granting credit to Germany and
Austria equal in amount to the bal
lance of the funds still held by the
Alien Property Custodian after pay.
ment of all just claims was one of
four measures proposed tonight by
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion to relieve the credit and crop
price situation
The sudden and rapid decline in
farm crop prices is due, primarily,
to two causes" statement from the
Farm Bureau Federation said. First,
the Inauguration of the deflation
policy of the government, particu-
larly the policy of credit restriction,
and second, the absence of the usual
market for certain surplus American
farm products.
Money Put Mt Auction.
One of the effects of the policy
of increasing re-discount rates was
TO virtually put money up at auc-
tion, that is. banks everywhere took
advantage of the situation to lend
money to those who could pay the
highest rates for It," the statement
read. This naturally excluded the
farmer who must ordinarily work
on narrow and precarious margin
of profit, and in many instances
placed the money in the hands of
certain of our producers Of nom
essentials who have been accus-
toned to operate on a wide margin
of profit"
To meet the present situation and
as a permanent remedy for the lack
Of credit needed by farmers to mar
ket their crops the Farm Bureau
Federation makes the following
proposals:
Proposals Made.
q. The granting Of a credit to
Germany and Austria equal in
amount to the balance of the funds
still held by the Alien Property
Custodian.
This credit would amount to near
ly s1.000.0OO.00O and would he
spent for raw products, largely agri-
cultural.
