herently equalized to the points where
the brake shoes or bands are brought
into action. they require no mecha-
nism for equalization. In this respect
they are superior to mechanical brakes
and even to air brakes. but only just
match the electric brake.
There is a race between designers
at present to develop the easiest
operating brake. One OF those cars
you considered buying is equipped
with what Is known as a vacuum
booster. The engine creates vacuum
in a small cylinder. When the brake
pedal is pressed the cylinder is opened.
Air rushes in with sufficient force to
help the driver apply the brakes.
'The development of lowpressure
hydraulics makes selfenergizing un-
necessary in this type. 1t also de-
creases the possibility of leakage. just
as the growing simplicity of mechani-
cal brakes decreases the possibility of
lack of equalization through neglect.
System Deserves Attention.
"A point few drivers consider is the
Importance of care in any type of
braking system. You can make your
brakes superior to those of the hy-
draulic owner who never checks the
pressure or makes an inspection. On
the other hand. the owner of a ny.
draulic brake car will have better re-
suits than the man who neglects the
best mechanical system in the world.
Know your brakes and take care
OF them. That's the best braking sys-
tenn Of ALL"

PASSING ON RIGHT
DECLARED BENEFIT
Proposed Regulation Success
in Other Cities, Observer
Here Says.

Relief from the congestion and de.
lay that marks Washington traffic is
one of the benefits to be derived from
the proposed change In the local regu-
lations to permit right-hand passing,
if the success of this regulation in
other cities is to be taken as a cri.
terion.
Taking sharp issue with opponents
of the proposed amendment which is
now before the District Commits
sioners. Oscar Coolican, local Packard
dealer, points out that in no city
where right-hand passing has been
tried has it failed to reduce accidents
and greatly speed up traffic move
ment.
"As to facilitating rapid vehicular
movement. such q step is invaluable
in teaching drivers their proper place
on the thoroughfare and bringing
into use the full width of the street"
says Mr.. Collican. "In New York and
Chicago, for instance, traffic would be
tied up constantly If passing only to
the left were permitted. Moving o
great volume of traffic makes it inn
perative that the full width of the inn
portant thoroughfares be utilized.
With virtually all traffic driving in
the middle Of the street. with conse-
quent confusion and delay, it seems
imperative that the National Capital
take this really progressive step.
Learn Not to Swerve.
"It is easy to answer those critics
Of the proposed amendment who de-
clare it will be unsafe to make such
a change in the local regulations.
They declare that the driver in the
middle of the street will swerve and
collide with the man passing on the
right. The answer to this is that the
driver quickly learns not to swerve.
1T takes him about one minute to
learn in New York that it does not
pay to wobble from one lane to an
other. AS a result, it is not done. One
knows exactly where one belongs
when such q rule is in effect.
Zone can cite the Loop district in
Chicago in pointing out how this regu-
lation works TO the benefit of all
street users. On the wide thorough.
fares there, three lanes of travel are

and I was glad that he had brought
up the point.
Mechanical and hydraulic systems
are only n part of the general pic
ture." l told him. zone of the most
effective braking systems is the air
brake. as used on railway coaches and
now on motor busses and trucks. The
electric brake Is another development.
There are poor mechanical brakes
and poor hydraulic ones. When any
one asks you what you would do If
you were driving a car with hydraulic
brakes and the system sprung a leak,
he is asking you what you would do
if you drove a car with inferior n.y.
draulic brakes. If any one discusses
the possibility of a brake rod of a
mechanical braking system breaking
or a pin coming loose, he is speaking
Of inferior mechanical brakes.
Il am not going to give you my
views on the brakes of the future, but
think l can clear up some points in
the present situation and perhaps help
you to a better understanding Of the
mechanical brakes on your own car.
The first point to bear in mind is the
patent situation. Naturally, the best
braking systems are closely guarded,
and royalties for their use are factors
in manufacturing cost. You cannot
assume always that the brakes on q
higher-priced car necessarily are bet
ter than those on a more popularity
priced car. Some Of the manufac-
turers of lower-priced cars have spent
their money for safer braking systems
rather than for other features.
Several Important Points.
'There are number of facts which
no car owner should overlook. One of
these is the natural difficulty of keep
ing four mechanically operated brakes
equaliZed. Another Is the fact that
no brakes of any kind are perfectly
equalized in service. Even in hy-
drauic brake you have the variations
in brake lining efficiency to contend
with. though this, as in brakes Of
other types, is being minimiZed
through the use Of internal expanding
brake shoes with inclosed drums.
"If the brake system is mechanical.
it must be fabricated. If it is hy-
draulic, it must be kept tight. and the
lines must be kept filled with fluid.
In the case of air, brakes, the impor-
tant factor is keeping up the pres
sure.
1T is not true that hydraulic brakes
are not suitable for heavy cars. They
are being adapted for use on trucks.
Because the hydraulic system is in

west side of Manhatton it would pro.
vide direct access to piers and freight
yards and tap the area where the
greatest amount of manufacturing
and shipping is concentrated. 1t would
bypass the heavy truck traffic that
now travels between these points.
AS at present planned, the tunnel
would originate in the Long Island
City section of Queens, at point di-
rectly accessible from the Queens
Boulevard. a similar portal in
Brooklyn is to tap the industrial prop
erty in Greenpoint which is now with
out direct vehicular connection. The
tunnel is to pass under the East River
in straight line to Thirty eighth
street in Manhattan and would eX-
tend without deviation and without
adding a single vehicle to the mid
town traffic burden, to Tenth avenue.
Ramps connecting with both levels of
the tunnel travel north and south to
Forty.Seventh and Twenty eighth
streets. Similar ramps are located so
that traffic bound from Queens or

Manhattan or vice versa is offered q

turning to the right are in the right
lane. Those proceeding straight ahead
are in the middle lane. Those max.
ing left turns are in the left lane.
The whole matter is so obvious that
a stranger catches the idea instantly.
Plan Already Tested.
"Objections to this proposed amend
ment would be understandable If we
were pioneering in this field of right
hand passing. We are not, however.
We have the experience of the great
est centers of traffic in the world up
on which to base our judgment"
Washington drivers need to realize
that they are killing off their chance
to speed up their own movement, and
the proposal for right-ha nd passing
offers an ideal way to teach them this
fact, Mr.. Coolican believes.
"Washington has broad streets,
liberal speed limits, a clear and simple
system of hand signals, three of the
most vital factors i'm speedy vehicular
travel" Mr.. Coolican says. when
we learn to utilize these advantages.
our traffic will move safely and
rapidly and may well be a model for
any progressive city"

SPANISH ROYAL DECREE
TO AID AUTO INDUSTRY
Executive Order Directs Official
and Carrier Purchase of
Home Product.

In order to stimulate the manu-.
facture of automobiles in Spain, a
royal degree issued recently requires
all automotive vehicles purchased by
the government, provinces, municipal
tiles and companies transporting pas
sengers and freight. to be of national
manufacture, provided the vehicle
needed can be obtained from Spain.
The decree also gives n price adyan-
tage Of from ) to 10 per cent to cars
of domestic manufacture.
This price advantage depends upon
the percentage of parts which are
manufactured in Spain. Automobiles
of which so per cent or more parts are
of domestic manufacture are to be
exempt from all taxes for a period of
three years, provided their prices
equipped are not more than 12,5O0
pesetas, and trucks above $4,000 Pc
setas. Automobile above these prices
will receive a so per cent reduction
in their taxes.

DAILY INSPECTION
OF AUTOS IS URGED
First Step in Reducing Traffic
Accidents, General Manager
of A. A. A. Says.

Safe driving begins with the open
ing of the garage doors when the
motorist goes out in the morning to
get his car for the trip to the office.
factory or store. according to Ernest
y. Smith, general manager of the
American Automobile Association.
who advocates a daily inspection OF
the individual car in the interest of
reducing traffic accidents. Such
practice serves not only to acquaint
the driver with the condition of his
car. but starts him away from the
garage with the thought of safety
in his consciousness, Mr.. Smith
points out.
while statistics on traffic mishaps
which blame the mechanical faults of
the car in a large number of cases
have been questioned in some sources,
1t unquestionably is true that de-
fective tires. brakes. steering and
other car features are distinct men,
ace to safety" says Mr.. Smith. Tests
of headlights, brakes and other equip
ment conducted in all parts OF the
country by motor clubs affiliated with
the American Automobile Association
show that many motorists do not
realize the absolute necessity for
keeping these vital car features in
perfect condition.
"A daily inspection by each mo-
torist will go far toward the elmina-
ton of this danger to themselves and
others. 1t is not difficult TO make such
a test. If, the minute he opened
the garage doors. the motorist were
to glance over the four tires he could
tell with fair accuracy whether they
were in good condition. Before going
a block from home he could give the
brakes a thorough test. The same
is true of the cars steering.
"The engine. of course, also should
be submitted to tests. Modern traffic
demands n smooth-running. powerful
and snappy motor performance.
"If each motorist were TO make
these tests and act Immediately when
defects We're revealed, a long stride
toward safety would be taken''

knowledge the Best Brake.

Smith had stipulated four wheel
brakes, but 1t developed that he did
not know what kind he was getting.
Fortunately, he purchased a car of
good reputation. and, accordingly. got
braking system in keeping with the
car.
"If ] had known there were so
many different kinds of four-wheel
brakes. I would have had a harder
time selecting car he said.
mot If you had kept in mind one
rule" ] told him. You can't go
wrong If you remember that no prin-
ciple of construction is desirable un-
less it embodies the best materials
and is treated to the best workman
ship. ] would rather have the two
wheel brakes of certain make of car
than the four-wheel brakes of some
on the market. That illustrates the
rule"
Smiths chief perplexity, however.
was the difference between the brak-
ing systems. To him all four-wheel
braking systems We're divided into
mechanical and hydraulic classes. with
a war existing between the two fac
tions. 1t is a popular misconception.

SECOND GEAR HIGHER,
Increased to Give Greater Accel-
Grafton in Traffic.

Driving one of the new cars, one
may be bit puzzled, perhaps, as to
why they do not seem to reveal such
great power in second gear as one
anticipates. One owner finds that In
order to climb a steep hill it is neces-
sary to go into low gear. This would
be less puzzling to him if he appre-
ciated the reason why he can travel
SO fast in second gear.
The reason is that second gear is
not as low as it used to be. In some
cases the ratio is only slightly lower
than that for high speed. Second gear
is made relatively high in order to
provide greater acceleration in traffic.
Low, however, remains the same, and
that is the gear to use when climbing
q reallv steep hill.
