Few Simple Regulations
to Cut Motor Accidents

We have too much automobile law.

elimination OF all unnecessary re-
Quirements and the enactment OF a
few simple rules and regulations that
may be easily understood. easily en-
forced and. as nearly as possible, unit
versally observed. says an official Of
an automobile organization. such an
elimination would In many instances
do away with about three-fourthB Of
our present laws.
Traffic rules and regulations are
yet In their formative period Much
remains to be done before avoidAble
accidents may be reduced to a mini
mum. The principal difficulty Is the
unwillingness OF the public to accept
and obey such rules and regulations
Il IL a matter Of undisputed record
that between 30 and 30 per cent OF
all accidents result from the neglect
of the individual pedestrian and less
than per cent are caused by the
direct fault OF the motorist or the
reckless use Of the motor car. Lying
between these figures somewhere are
from TO 8 per cent OF the accidents

Accidents Likely When
Brakes Are Waser-Soaked

Brakes should be given special at
tention after a car has been washed
or has been driven through water or
splashy mud. In either case, water
Is almost sure to get into and soak the
external brake bands, and under such
conditions water Is very much Of a
lubricant and viii have much the same
effect as oil In preventing the brakes
from taking hold promptly. Hence
the FIRST time you need to stop In a
hurry, you are very likely to find that
they refuse to take hold promptly and
a bad smashup may be the result.
The remedy Tor suspected wet
brake bands is to drag the brake a
few times Immediately after leaving
the washstand. The increased pres
sure on the brake bands forces out the
water and allows II to dry off. so that
when needed In an emergency. they
will take hold promptly.
Where grease. oil, mud. dirt and 30
on have produced a sort OF glaze on
the brake bands, they cannot be ex-
pected to take hold as they should
and accidents are likely to happen.
About the only effective way to rem
edy this trouble Is to take on the
brakes and remove the glaze with q
rough file or hacksaw blade or to wash
the lining with gasoline and scrub 1t
with q wire brush.
