EFFICIENT BRAKES
FOR AUTOMOBILES
REQUIRED BY LAW
Many Accidents Caused by Worn-ouE
or improperly Adjusted Brak-
ing Devices.

Inefficient or improper brake action
on automobiles is constant menace
to both the owner and to the general
public, Secretary of State Louis l.. EN-
merson declared today in discussing the
provisions of the automobile laws, the
enforcement of which is under his d.
rection.
''The law provides" he said, shat
every motor vehicle and motor bicycle
while in use on public highway shall
be provided with good and sufficient
brakes and also with bell, horn or
other signaling device This is wise
provision. Without proper brakes a
driver is In constant danger of coli
iision He should not endanger his
own life in this way, and ne certainly
has no right to endanger the lives of
others.
ut Is important that every owner
OF an automobile see that he has a
good quality of brake lining and that
1t is properly installed. Frequent
tests for proper brake adjustment
should be made. The lining should be
kept free from oil and grease. Tests
should be made every thousand miles
or at least once a month to make sure
that the braking power is equally di-
vided between the two rear wheels.
Inequality between the wheels often
causes skidding.
Experienced drivers save wear on
brake lining and often avoid skldding
by shutting off the gasoline throttle
and leaving the engine engaged just
before 1t is desired to stop the car,
thus reducing braking with the brakes
to a minimum"

GRADE CROSSING is
GREATEST MENACE TO
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
Great Majority of Persons Killed by
Trains at Crossings Were
in Autos.

The railroads of the country have
inaugurated a nationwide campaign
in the interest of greater precaution
at grade crossings. Statistics show
that the great majority Of accidents
on railroads occur at grade crossings
and that by far the greater number
of persons killed at crossings are in
automobiles.
The National Safety council reports
that in 1919 a total of 1854 persons
were killed at highway grade cross
ings In the United States, and of this
number ,232 were occupants of auto
mobiles or trucks. The same ratio
holds good in other years covered by
the report.
proper precaution would have pre-
vented practically every one of these
accidents Secretary of State EN-
merson said today. ''If the law is
obeyed the number of accidents at
grade crossings will become negligi-

MANY GARAGES Do
NOT OBEY THE LAW
Fall to Keep Record of Automobiles
Brought in for Storage or
Repair.

Investigators working under the
direction of Secretary Of State Louis
l.. Emmerson, report that the section
of the automobile laws most generally
ignored is the provision requiring
garages to register the numbers of all
cars brought in for storage or repair.
The record, If the law is complied
with, should show the license num-
Der Of the car, the serial number and
the engine number.
The purpose of this act is to make
the detection of automobile thefts
easier and to facilitate the return Of
stolen cars.
Secretary OF State Emmerson col
lects from local sheriffs and police
authorities the numbers of all stolen
automobiles These are published
weekly in bulletin form and sent to
all sheriffs and chiefs of police in
the state.
If every garage kept register show
Ing the numbers of all cars brought in
for storage or repair, 1t would be
much easier for the police to trace
these cars.
Investigation shows that only a
small percentage of garages comply
with this law.

"Just Around the Corner"

Thousands who wept and laughed at "Humoresque," will have an oppor- tunity soon of seeing another East Side story by the author of ''Humor- esque'-Fannie Hurst.
 The new picture is Just Around the Corner" and not only is the orig inal story the work of one of the col laborators of the screen version of Humoresque, but the scenario and di- rection are the work of the scenario writer of that classic-Frances Mari on. It will be shown at the Central theatre Friday and Saturday and Ea- gle theatre next Sunday.
 "Just Around the Corner tells the story of the Birdsong family living in New York's East Side. It is a story of family devotion, of the struggles of a mother, daughter and son to pre- serve the untarnished name of their family in the face of poverty and their ultimate triumph. Love. humor, mis fortune, smiles and tears and smiles again all play their parts.

Wisconsin Educator
 Says Mexico Facing
 Great Advancement

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 6.-"Ameri- cans have something to do. They have q hope in life. 1 was never so impress ed with the American common schools as l was when 1 crossed the Mexican border into the United States" This was the statement of Prof. F.. A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin who spent months in Mexico Investigating the conditions there.
 Our civilization is progressing along lines on which no civilization has ever run before. and it is bringing a won derful race of people," said Professor Ross.
 Tn boards of arbitration and con cilization, MeXicans are distinctly more advanced than we. But with all the progressive energy of the la boring classis, and the cooperation of the government, the laborer's pay is far below that in our country and will be below it for an indefinite time. ;
 q was astonished to find how ,ra- tional the radical leaders were. They advocate socialism in time; when the country has been educated to state where it is fit for it."

"The Brides Play"

More than any other of the splen- did pictures she has made, Marion Davies, Cosmopolitan star, likes ''The Brides Play" a Paramount picture which will be seen at the Eagle thea Ire Tuesday and Wednesday and Gen. tral theatre Thursday. Miss Davies plays the part of prankish Irish girl bubbling over with good humor, but always ready to listen to the troubles of the villagers and to help them solve their difficulties.
 The picture, while modern in it's setting, carries the audience back to medieval days in the portraying of a romantic incident that took place cen turies before. In this medieval story, Miss Davies again is seen as the fair haired heroine of "The Brides Play"
 The popular actress finds this pie ture the most sympathetic of her car eer. "I vertically lived the role of Aileen Barrett and also that of Enid,'' she said. when the production was completed.

The story suggested by Leon ard Merrick's The Laurels and the Lady" was adapted with taste and skill by Beulah Marie Dix and Sada COwan. The theme is one of intense heart appeal and the various scenes which take one from France to Mexico and thence to Siam, with their kalei- doscopic views, are beautiful in the extreme. The leading roles are eX- ceedingiy portrayed by Dorothy Dal- ton, Mildred Harris, Conrad Nagel, Theodore Kosloff. John Davidson and Julia Faye.

"her Beloved Villain"

Appearing in a strong character role of Her Beloved Villain,' the new Wanda Hawley comedy-drama which will be shown at the Lyric theatre Tuesday, is Lillian Leighton who, at twenty-One, held the distinction of be- ing the youngest newspaper publisher in the United States.
 For several years before she became an actress Miss LightOn was a news paper writer of more than local fame. When ordinary young people are com ing of age, sHe owned and published the "Mattoon Clarion" in Mattoon, Wis The twenty-one year old miss not only directed the policy of the paper, but wrote many of the editorial leaders herself and supervised the daily make up of her sheet.
 The same cleverness which made her good newspaper woman stood her in good stead when she became an actress. After ten years of success in vaudeville, on Broadway and in stock, she entered motion pictures, scoring an immediate hit. Recently she has had important roles in Secret Service" Louisiana" and Thou art the man."

"loVe's Masouerade"

Loves Masquerade" starring Con- way Tearle, which has been announc- ed as the attraction at the Lyric thea tre for Friday will attract particular attention because of the novelty of the exterior locations which have been chosen in the working out of the story. Much of the action takes place in a typical little New England fish ing village and this atmosphere has been created in a manner which is especially convincing. Director Will liam P. s. Earle, always stickler for photographic detail, gave the exterior locations a great deal of thought and the screen pictures which have result ed are fully as impressive as the ones he used to create in the best commer- cial photographic. studios in which he worked before he took up the business of directing motion pictures.

The great climax at the close of the story in. wolves the criminal breaking of biz dam on the mountain and the conse quent flooding and destruction of a village far below. The making of these scenes-for which both village and concrete dam were constructed is said to have Teen a task involving large expenditure of time, labor anC money.
