Safety lessons for the automobile
driver in the District OF Columbia,
prepared and distributed by the
Washington Safety Council, and used
in the instruction school of the coun-
ell. will be printed in The Star The
first lesson deals with the use and
care Of brakes. Read this and pre-
serve life and limb:
/. The brakes should be tested each
day. Before going half a block from
the garage make service test by
throwing out the clutch and applying
the brakes. II possible, select 4 dry
spot for making this service test.
Under no circumstances should the
car be taken farther If the brakes
are not operating properly. Drive
back to the garage and see that the
faults are corrected before driving
out again.
2. Automobile brakes have a definite
relation to safety. Important points
are:
a. See that good type of brake
lining Is selected.
b. Make sure that brake lining is
properly installed.
c. Keep the brakes in good operat
ing condition.
d. Make frequent tests for proper
brake adjustment.
c. Apply brakes properly when "on
the road
g. There are many types Of brake
lining on the market. Do not use lin
tagS that are too soft or too thick:
such Innings easily become matted
and necessitate almost constant ad-
tustment. Good Innings are woven
with plenty OF asbestos; some also
{r
Brakes Demand Experience.
4. Only an experienced mechanic
should install brake Innings. He should
stretched to avoid wrinkling. The
rivets should be properly counter
sunk; otherwise the metal of the
Tivets will score the brake drum and
3. To keep the brakes in good con-
dition:
a. Once in two months remove the
rear wheels and wash the brake lin
ing IN kerosene. This removes all
takes SIT the bite" out Of the brakes.
Never oil brake lining.
b. Brakes squeak when they are
glazed or when improperly adjusted.
Squeaking can often be stopped by
removing wheels and roughening the
brake lining with file.
c. If the brake lining is worn down
70 the rivets, sink the rivets still
farther or have the brakes refined
d. Wipe off and oil the brake
mechanism every 500 miles, or at least
once a month.
e. Make regular systematic brake
inspection habit. The loss of a
cotter pin might lead to a serious ac-
cident. When a lock washer Is re-
moved, don't put It back; use a new
one.
6. More accidents result from
faulty adjustment or application Of
brakes than from any other cause.
7. All drivers should keep tho
brakes adjusted properly. Brakes

Readable License Tags.

License plates with perforated
numerals is a new idea which is now
struggling for recognition. It would
take some mud to make ono OF these
plates unreadable; and that's just or e
reason why they would be practical.
With light background the cutout
numerals are read just as easily as
though they were painted on in black
And no amount Of dust makes them
any less readable. They have Il big
advantage over the conventional
plates for night driving, for the
light is arranged so as TO show
through the cutout parts.

should not drag; if they do they will
heat up and be worn down unneces-
sarily. Brakes should not be too
loose; loose brakes do not act quick
ly enough. Different adjustments
are made for different types of
a. On the shaft brake there is a
nut on the brake band which can
be adjusted to make the brake neither
too tight nor too loose. Brake rod
can be turned either to right or left
TO make it proper lengh for efficient
use OF brake.
b. On axle or wheel drum brake,
where equalizer is used. apply brake
when engine Is still. Adjust equalizer
! until 1t Is parallel with axle.
c. On external type Of wheel drum
brake tighten or loosen adjusting
nut on brake band, and equalize
length of brake rods.
d.. On internal type of wheel drum
brake 1t is necessary to remove rear
wheels. Adjust cam plates and ad-
Justing nuts, also equalize length Of
brake rods
Test Every 1000 Miles.
I 8. After the brakes are adjusted
50 they are neither too tight nor
too loose, they should be tested every
1000 miles, or least once a month.
10 make sure that the braking power
is equally divided between the two
rear wheels.
Many cars skid, not only because OF
sllppery streets, but also because of
unequal division Of braking power
JACK up Your rear wheels and apply
brake far enough so that 1t Is Just
possihle 70 turn wheel by hand. Ad-
just brake on other wheel so Tie
| same amount of energy is required to
turn the wheel by hand.
g.. Do you apply your brakes prop
early when ION the road?
ta) When coming to a stop on a
stralghtaway shut Off the gasoline
throttle and leave the clutch engaged
until just before you come to a stop;
this method Of stopping is especially
| advisable In wet weather because 1t
| lessons the tendency of the car to
skid. 1t also helps to distribute the
braking. power equally. and assists
the action Of the brakes. Do not
shut off the ignition until after you
have stopped: It may be necessary to
make quick start. Find out the
idling speed maintained by your car
when the gasoline throttle Is closed
then never except in emergency
cases. try to use your brakes when
| the clutch Is engaged and the car is
travelling slower than the idIing
speed.
Down Grade Advice.
(b) III going down an ordinary hill,
leave the clutch engaged and close
me 6asoiine throttle- IhlS helps cool
the engine. and also makes 1t un-
necessary TO use the brakes. II Is
sometimes desirable to turn off the
ignition switch; this further cools the
engine and adds to the braking power
Co In going down steep hills or
| when descending ordinar hills with a
heavy load. put the gears in inter-
| mediate or low speed at the top Of
the hill and leave the clutch engaged
Shut off the gasoline throttle, and, X
RI inCsr- IL l.,
td) In ordinary driving do not use
| the brakes oftener than necessary;
regulate the speed OF the car as much
as possible by the use Of the throttle.

II the car is equipped with foot
throttle use 1t in preference to the
hand throttle. This leaves the hands
freer TO operate the gears and the
steering wheel
fe) In making an emergency stop.

but do not lock the wheels. Keep the
wheels rolling; otherwise there is
danger that the car might slide or
skid.

Put EN- Out Right.

Never permit passengers to alight
from the left-hand doors OF tho car.
A lot OF people have a habit Of step
ping out into the street, thereby en-
dangering themselves and putting the
owner OF the car In an unfortunate
position. A driver can always dis
courage this dangerous practice by
making 1t a habit to swing open the
right doors when he stops. The pas
sengers unconsciously alight the
right" way.

1t is hoped hat all persons who
have beer opposed to the plans of the
local board of District ., or who have
Offered criticism of the plans formu-
lated for providing n four-year high
school in Saratoga the coming school
year, will make it n point TO attend
the school meeting at the school house
next Monday afternoon. These mat
ters will be under discussion at that
time, and the trustees will appreciate
a general expression of the wishes of
the taxpayers.
The Sun feels safe in saying that
the trustees of District . will be de-
lighted to know of any othr plan than
the one now under consideration which
will provide this section with high
school facilities the coming winter. and
your plans and suggestions will be APP
preciated.
Little if anything can be gained by
street-corner criticism. The annual

place to give voice to your ideas on
school matters, and to your criticisms
if you have any to offer.

NATIONAL PARKS-HANDS OFF.

Our National Parks, 1929! These
two years are beyond question the
most momentOus in the history of the
system since the creation of the Vel
lowstone-the first national park in
the wOrld-which celebrated its semi
centennial last summer.
The biggest thing of all Is that the
American people have within these
two years seized upon the national
parks as a part of their conception of
the greatness of America. The plain
people now feel toward their public
play grounds somewhat as they feel to-
ward Old GlOry-"Hands Off, They

a couple of more bitter battles with
