Barney Oldfield Says

a matter of fact, for diameters could not
be increased because the wheel sizes
have been getting smaller and smaller.
The smaller the brake diameter the
less effective it is in braking, the wider
the brake the longer it will last. The
brake diameter may be considered sim
ply as a lever and it is the length of a
lever that counts, not how wide it is.
When there are four levers of a given
size they are bound to be more effective
than two levers of the same length (dia-
meter.) That is why four-wheel brakes
do not have to be applied for s. long a
period. Four-wheel brakes last longer
because the four brakes wear far less
than two brakes that have to do the
same work of stopping.
Steering is Easier
One of the questions that has been
asked often is the effect that the front
brakes have on steering. AS a matter of
fact, steering is easier on cars with four

so-called center point or caster effects is

system there is provision for automati-

the designers knew that and made auto
matte provision for it. If there were any
danger in four-wheel brakes half the
motoring population of France, Italy,
and Belgium would have been in hospi-
tails long ago.
| appreciate the fact that not all car
manufacturers have engineering depart
ments that can design a correct four
wheel b~ralsin9 system, but that is not
that in time they will not be able
to do so. They are all working on four
wheel brakes now and sooner or later
they will anopt them whether the cars
are heavy or light. The automobile own
Ell will then have as much braking abili-
ty as he has engine ability. As it is now
he has engine power and speed that he
rarely uses to the maximum but occa-
he wants to use them. So it
be with brakes. He should have
a wide range Of ability. He should be
able TO stop in a few car lengths going
at 40 miles per hour. He may not have
to do that more thar once a month but
then that once q month will save many
lives.

FOUR WHEEL BRAKES

Some time ago | wrote about -four
wheel brakes and at that time made the
prediction that many prominent makers
would cars with this equip
ment. The public has already heard OF
the great strides this form of braking
has made and before another few months
have passed many more makers will
adopt fou-wheel brakes. Over in Europe
France leads with this equipment. Eng
land, Belgium, Italy, and Germany fol-
low. There are around rs makes of for
leien cars with four-wheel brakes. One
make-Isott-Fraschini-h used four
wheel brakes continuously since 1908, so
the four-wheel types are hardly new.
Recently there has come to my ears
all sorts of ridiculous stories about what
four-wheel brakes will not do. While in
New York in August I heard about a
certain branch manager who was hurt
because his four-wheel brake car over
turned. In Buffalo | heared the same
story about the branch MANAGER there.
In Chicago | heard a similar story. 1t is
quite obvious that stories of that kind
are circulated by some force that does
not like the progress being made by the
companies that are using four-wheel
brakes. They are trying to discredit
this type. 1t can't be done. You might
as we'll question the judgment of all the
good engineering brains of France and
Italy, Belgium and Germany. The brak-
ing systems here are based on designs
that had their origin abroad.
Sufer Than WheeE Brakes
In the first place let me say that four
wheel brakes are safer than two-wheel.
The reason for the adoption Of four
wheel brakes was the need for greater
safety. The need has existed. for 10
years. We made our cars faster, more
powerful, rapid accelerators, but forgot
all about making them good shoppers"
The railroad companies developed brak-
ing first and then increased their speeds,
for it was not until the advent of the air
brake and a brake on each wheel that
railroad trains dared to go over 80 miles
per hour. Now we travel at 60 and 70
and the train a be brought to a stop
within its own length. In the automobile
field we develop engines and bodies and
nearly every part Of the car and the
brakes were hardly touched. In recent
years the brakes have become worse, as

The appeal is now being con-
sidered by the federal cabinet,
which has three courses open to
it, to uphold the tax as constitu-
tional and allow its enforcement,
to disallow it as unconstitutional
or to refer the whole matter tc
the supreme court, in which lat
ter case it would probably drag
along for a long period before
any definite decision could be OBJ
tanned.
Color is lent to the possibilities
of a foreign oil invasion by re-
ports that leases in the central
part of the province are being
obtained by large corporations
for development in the spring.
The British Petroleums, limited,
has laid out a large sum of money
for drilling and tankage facilities
in the Wainwright field, and
many other companies. SO far
unidentified, have secured hold
ings there.
The situation is n which is
being closely watched by such
organizations as the Standard
Oil company.in the United States,
the Imperial in Canada, and other
leading interests. Evidence of
the far more than local interest
that is being taken is evidenced
by the exploration work under
taken by the Imperial as far
north as Fort Norman, where a
flowing we'll has been developed
almost within the Artic circle.

How C n ada is TO Make
Oil Walters Drill or Quit

Calgary, Alta.,-A decision
which may have a revolutionary
effect upon oil development in
the northwest, and which may
indirectly cause the great uneX-
plored fields in Alberta to be
thrown open to intensive drilling
by foreign companies, will be
made by the Canadian federal
government within a few days.
All land in Alberta, in which
mineral rights are held by the
land owners, are subject to q
newly imposed tax Of three cents
an acre while the mineral rights
remains undeveloped. Big land
owning companies threaten to
dispose of the land at any price
it will bring and place no obsta-
cIes in the way of foreign eXplora-
ton of the oil and mineral rights
if their appeal for the disallow-
ance of this tax is refused.
1t is claimed by New York au-
thorities that such a policy would
probably disturb the present ratio
of control in respect of oil, if a
flood of outside capital should de-
velop a real field in this province,
and the possibility of its being
followed is said to be causing
grave uneasiness amoung the big
American companies.
The three cents tax was i'm
posed by the Alberta legislature
at it's 1928 session, but has not
been collected yet. The Canadian
Pacific Railway company owns
more than 10000, 900 acres of
land in Alberta, upon all OF which
the mineral rights are retained
by the company, and this vast
parcel of land has been closed to
oil exploiters. Similarly the Hud-
sons Bay company owns millions
Of acres. The railway company's
tax bill alone would amount to
$500, 900 a year under this speci-
levy.
Hundreds of investors in the
United States who have held land
md mineral rights in Albarta
re affected under the same tax
evy, and many millions of acres
f land may go begging if its col
sctioL is enforced.

from the Sunburst Oil & Gas
company on the e sw 29-35-1w,
for himself and associates and
will move a rig and tools to the
property this week, preparatory
to spudding in Friday. The loca-
