British Motorists Speeding Along Main
Roads Trapped by Police to Test Brakes

British motorists speeding along
the main highways of the United
Kingdom are finding themselves sub
jected to new type of police trap.

favor of the abolition of speed laws
in England and the substitution OF
arrests for reckless driving. This
has brought about some relenting on
the part of the authorities in their
severe control of speeding along the
public highways.
Not so long ago complaints were
made by policemen stopping motor
lists and getting into their cars with
them and putting them through a
test to try out their brakes. Motor
lists took exception to 1t, although
the police were acting fully within
their powers. and the practice has
been discontinued

Brakes Are Easy
TO Dry Moving at
Moderate Speed

When driving in traffic, nothing
is more discomfiting than wet and
inefficient brakes. Drying them is
relatively simple process. Set the
hand throttle for a car speed of Is
or 80 miles an hour.
1t is necessary to use the hand
throttle in this case in order that
the right foot may be left free for
use on the brake pedal. After set
ting the throttle, apply the brakes
gently and internationally for about
half minute.
No more effective way for drying
brakes has been developed.

the bumpers themselves are being

Nowadays the automobile owner
also may sit behind safety glass. He

before the season of extensive touring
begins in earnest. And now is the logi-
cal time to allow good mechanics to
go over the automobile from stem to
stern, tightening, tuning and gener-
ally preparing it for the greatest tour
ing season in history"
According to Mr.. Jose, an important
development in car maintenance has
been the thorough systematizing of
all jobs, making possible a scaling
down of costs through economies of
time and effort.

TOURING PLEASURE
DEPENDS ON AUTO
Journey Quickly Loses SAVIOR
II Car Performs Poorly,
Observer Says.

With Spring already underway and
with the touring season just in the
ofnng, motorists now should give care
ful attention to general features OF
car maintenance to the end that pro
Jected trips may be made as trouble
free as possible and completely enjoy
able from the mechanical point OF
view.
More, perhaps, depends upon the
condition of the car than any other
element where the success or failure
OF the motor trip is concerned. This
applies to the short jaunt as well as
to the tour lasting weeks and covering
thousands of miles. In both instances
the cars mechanical performance
must be such as to allow the driver
and other occupants freedom fully to
enjoy scenery. riding qualities and
30 on.
Driving Must Be Pleasure.
That this particular season is the
correct one for giving the car such
attention as 1t may need In prepare
ton for months of great usage is
pointed out by Rudolph Jose. presl-
dent of the Washington Cadillac Co,
who says that motoring pleasure de
ponds largely upon whether or not the
motorists car Is in such condition as
to be a pleasure to drive"
He points out, in Illustration of his
statement, that while a motorist may
drive poorly running car through
beautiful country and get some enjoy
ment out of the scenery and other
factors, yet he cannot get the most
from his outing unless his mind is
more completely free to see with I'm
troubled eyes everything about him.
I'm other words says Mr.. Jose, "a
trip through the most alluring country
will be only partially happy one for
the driver whose automobile is not
operating efficiently. If the motorist
must nurse his car along, or put up
with certain mechanical annoyances,
it obviously is impossible for him to
give a. full measure of attention to
everything that nature has to offer.
His car should be running so smoothly
and so unobtrusively that the driver
is aware Of its existence but does not
have 1t forced upon him at time when
he wishes to devote all his attention
TO other things.
Good Condition Imperative.
'It is imperative, therefore, that the
motorist plan to put his car in as
good mechanical condition as possible

Modern Motor Cars Safety Devices
Automatic Protector for Drivers

The modern motor car has become
something of AN automatic protector
for the driver. In addition to being
sheltered behind the wheel, he now is
behind a cloak of unusual safety de-

Once upon time the motorist sat
up in a precarious position, where,
without a moments notice, he could
be bounced head first into the path
of his own vehicle. Manufacturers

FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH

The task that confronted the
Fifth Street Baptist Church on Its
entrance into the magnificent new
building at the intersection III Fllta
and Jackson Streets, conceived ana
erected by the daring and splendlo
worker, DR.. 7. j. King was stu
pendous if not appalling. The
Church had recently suffered d
heavy loss in a bank failure and
only a man with the persuasive
power and executive ability OF Dr.
King could have persuaded any
builder to undertake the enormous
task of building this great structure
with the limited finances OF the
church at that time; but Dr. King
was equal to the conception and ex-
ecution. and erected noble struc-
ture OF which all Richmond ought

and $500 Zone thousand eight hun

This task following hard upon heels

Overwhelming. But neryed for the

but a splendid waterloo in which the
men covered themselves with glory
second only to the wonderful work Of

wisely chose Sister L. B. Blackwell

to one of the greatest of the many

After the crisis was past the church

How different is the feeling of the
church this August to that of last
