POLICE 70 ON TRAIL
 OF DEFECTIVE BRAKES
Will Test Automobiles at Five Spots in This
 City

Local autoists are warned to look it their brakes and make sure that they are In proper condition, for to- morrow morning Chief William C. Hart of the police department will tnaugurato the first campaign against defective brakes tc be held in this city. The chief said today that the tests will be the opening gun Of an educational campaign to reduce the number of accidents in the city.
 Five different spots have been se- lccted about the city for the tests, and the chief has assigned Traffic Sergeant John J. King and Motor- cycle Policemen William s. Strols and William r, Hayes to duty test ing. The squad will go from one lo- cation 10 the other so that motor isst will have no opportunity Of avoiding test.
 In announcing the brake test, Chief Hart said that about 1To cities throughout the country have inaug- urated the system and in every case, the results have shown q remarkable decrease in the number Of accidents S in these cities. The city Of Bridge Fort has been testing the brakes on au' omobtles for the past six years and figures show that the number of accidents there has decreased from one !o every A machines in the state 70 one for every 121 machines.
 "A large number of people are operating machines that have de- fectiHe brakes and are actually un- aware Of the fact that because 3 s the brakes become worn they make sl- loWanCes for the bad brakes uncon- Sciously," the chief stated. The man. ner of testing will he 10 mark off q stretch of S7 feet on a level pave ment and the driver of d machine will be ordered to approach the start of the stretch at speed of 20 miles m hour. As he reaches the line marking the start of the measured distance, the foot brake will be ap- piled, and if the car fails 10 stop be- fore reaching the second line the brake will he adjudged defective. The driver Rill then turn around and he same test will be applied to the emergency brake.
 Tests Of this nature have been highly commended by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins R. Stoeckel, who feels that they have q remarkable effect in reducing the number Of accidents about the state.

BIG CROWDS FLOCK TO
 DAYTON TRIAL TODAY
Lawyers Find Printed Rules of Ethics for Their
 Information

Dayton, Tenn, July 70 P-The usual large crowds Hooked to the Rhea county court room today long before the hour of conlening of the 1 Scopes evolution trial. The audito- rum was comfortably filled half an hour before Judge Raulston was 10 open the court.
 | On each counsel table lay a large cardboard sheet, whose top bore the title in black type "Canons of pro- tcssional ethics' The canons were listed in S2 divisions, beginning with one which read:
 "The duty of the lawyers to the courts. It Is the duty of the lawyer to maintain towards the courts a respectful attitude, not for the sake of the temporary incumbent of the judicial office, but for the mainte- nance of it's supreme importance" The declaration was without an- Inounced authorization, save this ex- planation at the bottom; 'These are rules for the conduct or lawyers generally agreed upon and posted by members of this bar that you may know what to expect of the lawyer"
 When at the scheduled hour of the court opening Judge Rauxton had not arrived, the crowd seemed to be the largest of the trial.
 The space in front of the judicial eminence was crowded with attor- neys. Among these Mr. Bryan and Mir. Malone of opposing counsel were talking together.
 As Judge Raulston struggled through the crowd the bailiff an- nOunced:
 Now, all you people who are standing will have to get out of the room. This Is an old building and the floor is likely to give way any minute"
 The crowd laughed and those without seats began moving toward the door.
 If you don't get ont we'll have to put you out" the bailiff added
