OF motor vehicles or the construc-

Subdivided into five divisions. the
outline treats OF the field of high
way transport, the highway and the
motor vehicle, legal phases of the
subject, principles of successful
operation and the selling of trans
portation.
One of the subdivisions deals with
the Internationally of highways,
railways and waterways, showing
how the transport trinity may be
so co-ordinated that the most effec-
| tive distribution of commodities may
be attained.

SAYS OWNERS CAN
MEND CAR BRAKES
Must Attack This Job in
Proper Manner, Warns
Auto Authority.

A good many owners seem to feel
doubtful about their ability to care
for the breaking system of their We
hicles. especially as regards relin-
ing them after the bands have
given evidence of needed replace
ment. There is no reason why any
car owner cannot refine his brakes
if he attacks the job in the proper
manner.
So long as the metal band wears
evenly and no mental spots show
the brake lining may be considered
serviceable. Sometimes. however,
the wear may be even, but the rivets
that hold the bands show signs of
wear. The lining may be otherwise
perfectly good. but after the rivets
begin to wear down the operation
of refining should not be long de-
layed.
In refining the brakes the op-
orator should know that the band
must fit perfectly and must make
good contact with. the drum. If
only one side of the lining bears on
the drum. 1t is obvious that the
brsking efficiency is considerably
reduced. in addition to which exces-
sive wear on parts of the lining will
be induced.
Now We come to the actual Job of
refining. Before you begin have the
new lining cut to the actual size
needed. Most accessory shops keep
brake lining measured off in feet
BY giving the make and model of
the car the owner can have the lin
ing cut off in proper lengths. And
right here let me say that the most
expensive brake lining is none too
good. The action of this unit is so
important to the safety of the
driver and his passengers that every
precaution should be taken in re-
placement, particularly as to buy
ing the most reliable lining that can
be obtained.
To remove the old lining the
wheels must be taken off and the
brake bands be disconnected from
their bands. In the case of a pro-
peller shaft brake the floor boards
will have to be removed. The brake
rods will have to be removed usual
W bohih6 OuI a COlAeT PIN ana
clevis. After the bands have been
taken off the parts at the end of
the axle should be cleaned with
kerosene. Worn spots should be
watched for. The brake bands and
all small parts removed should be
cleaned and put in box so that
they will not get out of the way
The old lining is next removed by
first cutting off the rivets that hold
1t in place. A sharp chisel must
be employed to avoid injuring the
band or the rivet holes. After the
lining is removed the brake bands
should be carefully cleaned, any
burrs filed off, and IT should be as
certained that the rivet holes are
not. out of shape. In case this lat
ter condition exists, a drift pin may
be inserted to make them round
again.
In fitting the new lining a length
of 1t should be laid on the band
surface in such a way that II fits
snugly. leaving slightly over an
inch.

Radiator Filler.

A very convenient radiator filler
may be made by fitting a faucet near
the bottom of an ordinary pail. With
this device it is possible to place the
bucket on the hood with the faucet
over the radiator hole, turn on the
water and not bother again until the
cooling system is full. II saves the
bother and labor of holding a pail

All of Harding
Cabinet to Take
Part in Campaign

Washington. Oct. 10-(By A. P.)-
Although President Harding is MAX
ing plans to take a personal part in
the political campaign, virtually every
member of his cabinet, according to
statements today, will take the stump
between now and election day to ask
and House.
Extensive trips are in prospect for
several members of the Presidents
official family, whose speech making
tours will cover nearly every section
Of the country. The effort, it APP
pears, however. ill confer in the east,
New England and the middle west,
btu some speeches will be made in
other parts of the nation, according
to present plans.
The Presidents friends say he sees
the country for an endorsement of the
Republican administration. AL
though he participating in campaign
councils, his associates say he is not
likely. either to make any partisan
speeches or issue. statements asking
for election of Republicans. His
views are represented as coinciding
with those of his party managers.
who are averse to the issuing of
party appeals from the White House.
The cabinet, however, with the sim
gle exception of Secretary Mellon, is
preparing to do it's share through
speech making in thu fight for Repub-
lican victory in November Few of
the department heads have made
fixed speaking engagements but all
have arranged to be away from
Washington or in a position to assist
the regular array of party spellbind-
ers at the peak of the battle in late
October and the first days of Novem-
Der.
The only definite speaking date made
so far by Secretary Hughes is at Bos-
ton, where he is scheduled to speak
October 80 In addition to a full list
of candidates for House seats, Sena-
tor Lodge, the Republican floor leader
in the Senate. is a candidate for reelec-
ton. and it ma: be supposed that Mr..
Hughes in his Boston address will
touch upon the administrations for
eign policies.
Secretary Weeks will precede Mr..
Hughes in Massachusetts. having ac-
cepted an invitation to speak in Bos-
ton october "A.
Attorney General Daugherty has
definitely scheduled only two platform
appearances during the campaign
Chicago, October 20, and Canton, Ohio,
October 81.
The navy department head plans also
to make "a tour of inspection of the.
Boston and Portsmouth navy yards in
about twoaweeks. This trip, it is said,
probably will include several cam
paign speeches, but Mr. DENLY has
definitely accepted no invitations. The
secretary, while absent from his office,
will witness the Gloucester races.
