BAD BRAKES ARE
CAUSE OF fines
New York Magistrate Deter
mined Motorists Shall Be
Ready for Any Emergency.

a man driving an automobile which
has defective brakes ts as much an
enemy Of society as gunman." de-
elared Magistrate Simms In the New
York City Traffic court when he Inn
posed fines ranging from s25 to $50
each on motorists who were arrested
BY the brake inspection squad of the
department Of public safety. The fnes
were paid by the prisoners who were
convicted of operating pleasure cars,
ta1icabs and motor trucks with bad
brakes. In imposing the fines, the
court warned the accused that Sec
ond conviction would mean term in
the workhouse.
Result Of Accidents.
The department Of public safety is
engaged in city-wide campaign to
attention to brakes. This drive is a
result Of an epidemic Of automobile
accidents which caused more than a
dozen deaths In one week. The brake
inspection squad il operating In every
borough of Greater New York. Officers
use automobiles and watch others.
When a machine is seen to be using
brakes that have not been adjusted
it IL halted and the brakes are In
spected. II they are in bad condition
the driver Is given summons to ap-
pear in traffic court where Magistrate
Simms is imposing heavy fines and
Jail sentences for second offenders.
Due to Bad Brakes.
Results Of the recent investigation
in the Borough Of Brooklyn show that
90 per cent Of all auto accidents are
due to bad brakes. Several cities have
sent safety experts to ascertain the
methods employed in New York to
curb this evil. At least dozen other
municipalities have inaugurated brake
inspection campaigns which have re-
suited In decrease in the number of
accidents.
The New York city brake inspection
work is being conducted under the d.
rection Of Marcus Dow, president of
the National Safety council, which re-
Gently made public statistics showing
that more than 1900 persons were
victims of automobile accidents In this
country last year.
At present police officers connected
with the department, of public safety
are delivering series of lectures on
brake adjustment at daily meetings
Of motorists held in public garages,
schools. and before civic associations.

Trees of the Forests
Absorb Radio Energy

Signals in Transit across forests
have lost much Of their power especial
ly in the spring and early summer
when the sap and foliage make the
trees better conductors Of electricity.
Radio waves passing over and through
the trees give up energy Just as In
striking steel building. II a short
length Of wire serving as an antenna
can absorb sufficient energy from a
passing wave to create a sound which
can be heard several hundred feet
away from the phones, one can realize
how much energy may be intercepted
by a large steel building with Its cleo
trio wiring and pipes connected to the
ground. Such absorption Is particu-
larly noticeable when short wave
lengths are used.
When wave length Is eight to four
teen miles long dead spots" seem to
cause little interference. Such wave
Is comparatively long compared to
steel structures, and for this reason 1t
is thought they do not obstruct the
waves path to such a great extent.

GET AWAY FROM MUD SPLASH
When Machines Are Close Together
Dirt 10 Not Likely to Strike
~ High as Door.

When trying to avoid getting
splashed with mud most drivers will
get as far away from passing car
as possible. This is just the reverse
of what one ought to do to avoid
such nuisance. When the cars are
ten feet or 80 apart any mud that is
splashed Ii sure to strike the body of
the other car, whereas II the machines
are closer together, say three feet
apart, mud that is splashed will only
strike the wheels and the under sides
of the tenders. What mud would or
dInarily splash on the doors is much
more likely to be caught under the
running board when the cars pass
closer together.
