COURT DENOUNCES
USE OF BAD. BRAKES
Held as Great a Menace to
Society as Are the
Gunner.

NEW YORK. April IA man
driving an automobile which has de-
fective brakes is much an enemy
of society as gunman." declared
Magistrate Simms in the New York
city traffic court when he imposed
fines ranging from SIS to $50 each on
motorists who were arrested by the
brake inspection squad of the depart
ment of public safety. The fines were
paid by the prisoners, who were con-
victed of operating pleasure cars
taxi cabs and motor trucks with bad
brakes. In imposing the fines the
court warned the accused that a sec
ond conviction would mean term in
the workhouse.
Plea to Motorists.
The department of public safety is
engaged in a city-wide campaign to
induce motorists TO give the neces-
Sary attention to their brakes This
drive is result of an epidemic OF
automobile accidents which caused
more than a dozen deaths in one
week.
The brake inspection squad is oper-
ating in every borough of Greater
New York. They use automobiles
and watch others. When a machine
is seen to he using brakes that have
not been adjusted II is halted and
the brakes are inspected. II they are

summons to appear in the traffic
court where Magistrate Simms is i'm
posing heavy fines and jail sentences
for second offenders.
Results Of recent investigation in
the borough of Brooklyn show that
so per cent of all auto accidents are
due to bad brakes.
Other Cities Seek Remedy.
Several cities have sent safety eX-
pertS to ascertain the methods being
employed in New York to curb this
evil. At least dozen other munich
nalities have inaugurated brake in

suited III decrease in the number of
accidents.
The New York city brake inspec-

sons were victims of automobile ar-

still Reveal Much, Though Probably
Less Than Was the Case Some
Few Years Ago.

Once it was possible to tell LADY
bv her hands-that is if you regarded
q ladv as "a female of the favored So
cial class" She had well-kept hands
because she did nothing to roughen
them or enlarge their knuckles or cause
premature wrinkles. Even if fortune
had gone against her she somehow
avoided the work that would mar the
symmetry of those hands. She did
without sugar for her tea and did
needleWofk for money in order to avoid
the work that she regarded as mental.
And because a woman of this class
knew that it was at her hands that
others looked for an index to her So
ciaI nosition it was her hands that she
saved. wearing gloves by day and by
niobt to keep them white and to pro
tact them and repair them from the
ravaees of wind, sun and homework.
The situation is rather different now.
The young woman of immigrant par
oy+s who sells tinware in the DEPART
mont store basement has deliberately
,nonicnred nails and hands that are
smooth. but the wife Of the college
orasident has hands that clearly show
Tho effects of work that we would once
have regarded as mental.
Perhaps still to the keen observer
