What to Do When in Doubt.
When in doubt as to whether each
brake is doing it's share of work, if
there are only two, jack up the rear
wheels and apply the brakes far
enough so 1t is just possible to turn
one wheel by hand. Then adjust the
brake on the other wheel so that an
equal amount of energy is requir ed

justed in the same manner.

a heavy load put the gear in inter-

When driving use the brakes as
little as possible. When an emer-
gency stop is necessary close the

IS CHANGED,
D. c. PASTOR QUITS
Rev. C. A. Shreve Convinced
That Physical Ills Are
DivineIy Healed.

Stating, among other things. that
vine healing of bodily diseases: the
baptism with the Holy Ghost accom-
panied by supernatural manifesto
tions, and in the exercise of spiritual
gifts as exercised by the early church,
Rev. DIR. Charles A. Shreve. former
pastor of the McKendree NJ Z.
Church, has ask ed the Baltimore an
nual conference of the Methodist
Church, meeting at Annapolis, per-
mission to withdraw from its men,
bership.
Dr. Shreve, who has been engaged
in evangelistic work for some time,
sent a letter to the bishop and mem
bers of the conference setting forth
reasons for his action, as follows:
1T appears to me that God has
called me to do general evangelistic
work in widely separated fields and
among various classes, denomina-
tionS and sects.
Belief Is Changed.
'Inasmuch as l have recently en-
tered into certain spiritual expert
ences which the majority of the
clergy at present consider extreme
and to which experiences l must, to
the best of my ability, be true-and
the effects of which experiences must
naturally appear to a more or less
degree in my ministry do not feel
willing that the conference should
bear or even share the responsi bility
for the consequences of this ministry.
'Inasmuch as j strongly believe in
the doctrines of divine healing of
bodily diseases: the baptism with
the Holy Ghost, accompanied by super
natural manifestations; and in the
exercise of spiritual gifts as eXer-
cised by the early church, and men
toned in order in First Corinthians,
twelfth chapter; and inasmuch as il
appears to me that these things are
not acceptable to Methodism: and in
asmuch IS l cannot, as a preacher,
ignore these which ] consider i'm

STRINGENT BRAKE
REGULATION URGED
Automotive Trade Body De-
clares for Ruling Traffic
Director Proposes.

Supporting the proposal of Traffic
Director Eldridge that there should
he stringent brake regulation in the
District of Columbia, the Washing
ton Automotive Trade Association.
through C. H. Warrington, chairman n
of the service committee of that or
ganization, today pointed out that
faulty brakes are probably one of
the most prolific causes of accidents.
Such accidents, in his opinion, are
the result of carlessless of the driver
in a majority of cases, rather than any
inherent weakness in the braking
mecha nism
Testing the brakes every time the
car is taken out should become as
much of a habit as looking in the
radiator to see if it is we'll supplied
with water, according to Mr.. War
rington, who has made a special study
of brakes. He believes if motorists
would give more attention to that
part of the car there would be fewer
accidents.
Next Necessary Step.
II the driver finds that after throw
ing out the clutch and apply the
brakes the brakes do not work ef-
says, is to take the car to a mechanic
who specializes on that particular
make.
Describing some Of the facts about
brakes that should be known to
every motorist. Mr.. Warrington said:
Some brake Innings are too soft
and some too thick. They may become
matted and are apt to need constant
adjustment. The best Innings are
usually woven with plenty of asbestos
and copper wires.
1T usually takes a good mechanic
to install brake Innings properly. 1t is
necessary that the Innings be ade-
uuately stretched to avoid wrinklinG.
Also the rivets must be properly
sunk, so the metal of the rivets will
not score the brake drum. thereby
causing the brakes to fail to hold
as they should.
"Squeaking brakes are nuisance
which can be avoided by proper ad-
justment. The annoyance can often
be stopped by removing the wheels
and roughening the brake lining with
a file. The brake mechanism should
he wiped off and oiled once after
every 500 miles of driving.
Accidents Due to Faulty Brakes.
Many accidents are due 10 faulty
adjustment or application of brakes,
and it is the duty of every car owner
TO make a systematic. brake inspec-
ton regularly. For even the loss of
so small an instrument as cotterpin
may lead to serious accident
Brakes should not be allowed to
drag. as dragging heats them, wears
them out unnecessarily and absorbs a
lot Of the engine power. Nor should
they be too loose, for then they will
not act quickly enough to avoid dan
ger. On the propeller shaft brake
there is a nut on the brake band which
can be adjusted to make the brakes
just the proper tightness. The rod
connecting the pedal to the brake can
be turned either to the right or to the

Greek for Eye Winker.''
Bear Looks Like Toy.
Mr.. Wells told of a live Teddy bear,
10 inches high and looking, when
full grown, precisely like the toy.
Even smaller is the vest pocket
deer, which measured seven inches
from hoof to horn.
There is lizard that fiips off it's
tail at will.
There is a plant so sensitive that it
hattens itself against the ground
when one stamps near ii, but yet so
strong that it resists the fiercest ty-
phoons.
There is the hygienic monkey, so
careful of his health that after every

he repairs to the nearest stream and
brushes his teeth with the aid of the
first finger of his right hand
There is the bird which sleeps up
