(a) Once in two months remove
the rear wheels and wash the brake
lining in Kerosene. This removes ALI

(b) To stop brake squeals remove
wheels and roughen the brake lining
with a file.
(c) II the brake lining is worn

least once a month.
te) Make regular systematic brake
inspection a habit. The loss of

cident. When a lock washer is re-
moved, don't put 1t back: use new
one.
BIames Faulty Adjustments.

faulty adjustment or application of
brakes than from any other cause.

to make sure that the brakina power
is equally divided between the two

also because Of unequal division of

is required to turn that wheel by

RED CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMPAIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross II
its health service. Thus a committee
made up of prominent physicians, san
itarians and public health experts,
after months Of exhaustive study, re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service, but should undertake a
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just issued, discloses that 1t
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields of public health nursing, in
struction in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
900 of whom served during the World
War. The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections OF Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Pepobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1908 Red
Cross nurses working under the d.
rection of Chapters. This work has
won so high a regard that many of
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene and Care OF the Sick
is noting a steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who COM
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were I'M
der the instruction OF 1,054 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each persons pecu1-
lar needs Is winning widespread rec
ignition through the work Of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school |
year 2,688 carried on regular instruc- |
ton in nutrition, reached more than |
t50, 900 children and adults. More |
than $3.50 volunteers assisted in this |
work. Throughout the country 1928 |
health meetings were held under Red /
Cross auspices, attended by approx
nately 254,5 persons.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Ar11istice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
September gave the answer to the
question, What is there for the Red
Cross to do In time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request Of
the President to lead the national ef-
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands OF sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without membership enrolled in ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important.
1t is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up OF millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November IL,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 20, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends OF the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.

in the six months period ending Octo-
Der 1, it is announced by F. A. Jeter,
secretary of state.
This is an average of better than
$4,000 a month, so that in two years,
officials estimate the state will re-
ceive approximately $1,000,000 from
this source of highway work.
From past observation, officials be-
lieve that the average monthly in
come will not be reduced through the
winter. They say that the number of
cars put up for the winter in the
rural parts of the state will be com
pensated for by the increased use of
cars in cities during bad weather
Many people in cities walk in the
summer and fall, when the weather is
pleasant, but take to the cars in win
ter time.
