A-HOUR WEEK
is DISCUSSED
AT OPEN FORUM

saA discussion of whether or not the
hours of workmen in job printing
p1ants should be reduced from 4S to
A hours per week, characterized the
dinner and open forum at tic Com
merciaI club las night. President
Thomas F. Kane presided.
Z Workmen maintain that the Al
hour week should become effective on
May first. i. was brought out in state
ments made last night. giving as their
reason for this demand. that an
agreement to that effect was entered
into between representatives Of both
Sides at a meeting in New York early
ID 1919. and that the nature of their
work Is such thai their health de-
l1ands that the agreement be abided
BY.
3 Employers contend that the agree
ment was entered into by only a sinai
Number Of the master printers. that
these were mostly New York city men
who sought to ave some local con-
tfoversy. and That conditions are now
such as TO annul the arguments put
UP by workmen at that time. Their
principal argument was h a to in
augurate the 44-hour week would en-
rail a greater expense to al who pay
for printing work. which would in
their opinion react to the disadvan,-
age of all.

WATCH YOUR RRAkEsl

One Of the most important parts of
driving an automobile is the proper
utilization of the brakes. by their
brakeing We shall know them" might
well be applied to auto drivers.
1t is the careful and conservative
and wise driver who discovers the
ability of his brakes; when to use
them and when not to use them.
There are many occa sions when the
natural action Of the engine may serve
as brake and l believe that the most
efficient driving comes from only a
liberal use of the brakes.
To my mind even the service brake
should be considered a sort of an
emergency brake. There are many .oc-
casions when drivers slam on the
brakes" as the expression goes and
thereby do harm to the car as well
as the tires. The man who depends
too much upon his ability to use his
brakes really imperiIs himself and
pedestrians. He tries to hold his car
on hills wholly with his brakes when
his engine might be helping the cause.
1t is just as logical for the motor
to stop car as it is to run it. With
the throttle closed the resistance Of
fered against the, pistOns serves as
braking power by retarding the rear
W heels. The driver who uses his motor
in manner to brake the car will
put one-third the wear on his brakes.
Then when the crucial test does
come in an emergency the foot brake
can be just as much an emergency
brake as the emergency brake. The
latter's function, in my mind, comes
merely as a protective brake to Sc
cure the car when it is not in use.
Some cars have elaborate sets OF
brakes My old Minerva was equip
ped with air-cooled brakes. Some cars
even have water cooled brakes. Take
care of your brake lining. Abuse to
brake lining is like abuse to anything
Else. It's results are destructive

FAMOUS KiLTI1S BAND
FEATURE OF THE GREAT
SOUTHERN AUTO SHOW

Canada's greatest musical organi-
cation, the famous Kilties band, will
be featured at the Great Southern Au-
mobile show TO be held at the i'm
mense city auditorium in Atlanta, Ga,
March 5tn TO 18th, inclusive.
This organization is of world re-
nown, having played in every coun-
try, and shortly after the Atlanta en-
gagement will sail for England for an
indefinite stay.
More than 100000 will be expend-
ed in carrying out the elaborate
scheme of decorating the interior of
the great auditorium; thus insuring a
wonderfully beautiful and appropriate
setting for the many individual exhib-
its.
Upwards of seventy-five different
makes of motor cars and trucks will
be on the floors, besides a wonderful
display of the newest and best devel-
opments in automotive equipment.
Every indication points to an un-
usual. attendance, for great interest
is manifest in every section of the
south. More than 1000 dealers are ex-
pected to visit Atlanta during the
show week, while owners and pros
pective buyers will be there from
every state.
The Great Southern Automobile
show, in our opinion, says Jack Cren-
shaw, local distributors of the we'll
known Studebaker line, is an out
standing example of the confidence
demonstrated by southern motor in
terests in the future. 1t is said that
the automobile industry is the COM
mercial barometer of the country, and
this being true we can readily sense
the rapid trend towards more normal
business.
Conditions with us are that bust
ness is better and improving daily,
and we are preparing now to care for
the demand we are certain will follow
the complete exhibition of Studebaker
models to be on display at this great
show.
