MUCH FIREWATER
TO Be DISTILLED
UNDER THE LAW

WASHINGTON, Sept 10. W.P,-
Permits for manufacture of an add
tional 100000 gallons of Bourbon
and rye whiskcv for medicinal pur-
poses are soon to be issued by the
Treasury, it was learned today.
For the first time since prc-pro-
hibition days, the Treasury this year
authorized manufacture of whiskcv
to replcnish medicinal stocks. Six
distillerics in Kentucky and Penn
sylvania are producing 100000 gal'
Ions this year.
Decision has now been reached to
manufacture similar quantity next
year and permits are expected TO b."
issued soon by Industrial Alcohol
Commissioner James NJ. noran, to
the same distillcries reopcncd this
year.
The United States annually con
sumes about 100000 gallons mcdi-
cinal whiskev. Manufacture of >,
100000 is necessary, however. to al
low for evaporation and barrel soak
age during the four year aging
period required by law.
Stocks of medicinal liquor now ON
hand aggregate about 100000 gal
Ions. or a four-year supply after al
lowing for evaporation and soakagc.
The liquor being distilled now,
therefore, will not be used until four
years hence, when present stocks
are depleted.

Check Up Repairs After
Car Has Been to a Shop

After the car has been to repair
shop always check over some of the
things that have nothing to do with
the trouble that occasioned the serv-
icing. This is important where cars
are taken to shops that do not spe-
cialize in the particular make.
What happens in many cases is that
mechanics disconnect things and loosen
parts that do not need to be touched.
They are not quite familiar with the
preliminaries to the real work and are
obliged to experiment a little. The
things that are disturbed in this way
are not likely to be thought of when
they come to finish the work.
Where the authorized service sta
ton does the work it is seldom that
anything is disturbed unnecessarily.
Any mechanic prefers to check over
his work little but often he is
rushed by the impatient owner.

SUDDEN stop is
BAD ON CHASSIS
Expert Suggests That Driv-
ers Use Their Brakes
With Moderation.

How long would your present auto
mobile last IL YOU installed a $50,
horsepower engine in the chassis and
drove it wide open?
There isn't motorist in the world
who would impose such a load on an
ordinary chassis, because every driver
knows that no standard automobile
could withstand the terrific stresses
imposed by so powerful an engine.
impose Equal Stresses.
Nevertheless, many motorists habit
ually impose equal stresses on their
cars without realizing it. fact
brought out by Detroit manager of
a large automobile concern, in dis
cussion of brakes and braking.
"Few persons realize how much
energy must be dissipated to stop a
car" he said. "Motor-wise drivers
who know that 1t requires tremendous
horsepower to give rapid acceleration
never seem to think of braking in
similar terms.
"With hydraulic four-wheel brakes,

brought to dead stop in one-fifth
the time that it takes to attain that
speed. A 2,000-pound car. there
fore, would require an engine of $50
horsepower to accelerate to 30 miles
an hour in the same time that it may
be stopped when going at that speed.
"Some drivers who would not eX-
pect a standard chassis to stand up
with $50 horsepower engine make it
a practice to use the brakes to their
full power for every stop. That is,
they maintain speed to the last posi-
BILE moment even when they know
long in advance that they must come
to standstill, and then bring the car
to q sudden halt.
Advantage in Making Stop.
"It is great advantage to have the
ability to make sudden stops in
emergencies, but it is a gross abuse
of a car to use this power harshly
every time.
"Drivers should use their brakes
moderately for all service stops.
When they see red light a block
a head they should let the car slow
down gradually. bringing it to stand
still finally with gentle brake pres
sure.
"This practice, if followed regu-
larly, not only saves the tires and
brake Innings, but guards the whole
chassis from undue stresses"

Jay Walking Barred by
Authorities of Paris

The authorities of Paris have adopt
ed American methods for the protec-
ton of pedestrians. Large brass studs
have been placed in the pavements to
show the pedestrian where he may
safely make dash to the other side
of the street, and pedestrians are ex-
pected to use this space and no other.
The century old-custom in France of
allowing persons to cross the road
where and when they will has been
abandoned, much to the disgust of 30
GOO Parisians, who paid fines for cross
ing the highways in the old-fashioned
way.
