NEGLECT CAUSES
MANY ACCIDENTS
Car Is Equipped With Set of
Brakes and iii Treatment
Destroys Them.

(By ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
iege of Automotive Engineering Chicago)
"If only you ignorant mortals could
understand motor talk" grated tiny
voice, what narrowing tales of torture
you would hear"
"But some of us do" I gasped,
peering down to locate the hidden
voice which seemed to come from in
side the brake band of the car by
which l was standing, 1--WE studied it
conscientiously for ten years"
"Then for the love of depreciation,
listen-and carry my message to the
world. I'm all worn out and ready to
fall apart"
Brake Worn Out.
can't repeat that pitiful tale. It's
moral is listed in the newspapers every
day under the head Of Accidents" 1t
was only too true that the poor brake
was worn out just as he said, for the
next day I came across it and the rest
of the car, piled against tree at the
foot of hill The driver escaped, as
is usual with fool. He intends to buy
another car-with good brakes this
time. He told me so himself. Do you
know him? His name Is Legion.
Now! What do you know about the
brakes on your car? Is their action so
positive that they will stop the car
almost instantly? VIII they hold in an
emergency? You say; Eyes of course,
they did it just the other day." But
would you be willing to bet that they
would do it again?
Are you one of those who trust in
luck and the devil to take care Of you,
and eventually, "bust" into a tele-
graph pole? If you are one of these
kind of drivers. you better put this
copy Of my article carefully away to
read again later. You will appreciate
the story much more then-provided
st. Peter hasn't given you a harp In
the meanwhile.
III Treatment Destroys.
Every car is equipped with a good
set of brakes and neglect and III treat
ment are the only things that destroy
them. That word neglect should be
erased from every motorists dictionary
for it is the cause of 100 per cent OF
all motor accidents.
Brakes must be given the most
critical attention, and that, frequently.
Test them Watch out that the Innings
are not wearing too fast Make this
inspection two or three times a week.
You, the driver is the one who pays
the penalty if anything goes wrong on
the road.

Resetting a Magnetic

In resetting the magnetic the coupling
often may be placed so as to cause the
magnetic shaft to be out of alignment.
The best method is to note the condi-
ton of the coupling before being re-
moved, which is done by slipping the
thumb and forefnger around it.
The periphery should be perfectly
smooth and one side should not be
higher than the other. In resetting
the coupling clean it well and see that
the outer surfaces of the parts are In
line

Do Not Employ Heat
to Straighten Steel

II through some mishap some
of the steel parts of the chassis,
such as the rear axle tubes or
front axle, become bent. do not
use heat to straighten them, be-
cxwss these parts are all care
fxlg heat treated, and If heated
for Strengthening they are likely
to have the effects of their &C
curate heat treatment nullified.
This will result in materially
weakening the parts so that they
are apt TO be incapable of with
standing the strains put upon
them.
The best way is to straighten
such parts cold, but If the bends
are too great this cannot be
done. In extreme cases Of this
kind the best thing TO do is to
ship the affected part or parts
to the factory for strengthening.

Drive Wheels Locked

1t sometimes happens that the drive
wheels Of the car are locked because
of breakage in the differential or uni
yersals, so that 1t Is impossible even
to haul the car home. In these cir
cumstances 1t is best to remove the
keys that hold the rear wheels 10 the
axles. This allows the rear axies to
turn, freely and the car may be towed
in without further difficulty.

Stuck in Deep Mud

When the car is stuck in deep muo
and the wheels cannot get any pur-
chase try wrapping the tire chains
bodily around the tire and rim of the
wheel, so that they make big bunch
and then fasten them with a strap or
some wire. Turn on low gear, slowly
and carefully and generally the wheels
will get grip enough to pull the car
