Another factor that influenced

be a material reduction In the number
of automobile accidents. 1t is not Q
difficult matter, this looking after ones
brakes to see that they behave prop
erly. The following is simple method
by which one can know how eficiently
the brakes on ones car are working:
Two white lines about inches broad
are painted on the street pavement with
81 feet between. The automobile whose
brakes are TO be tested should be driven
by the owner at 20 miles an hour. A.
the first white line the driver applies
the brakes to the limit of their capacity.
II the car stops before the second white
line is passed the brakes are in efficient
condition. If. however, the car cannot
stop within 81 feet the brakes should
be examined by a competent mechanic
at some reliable service station or ga
rage. A test like this should be made
during dry weather and on hard-surface
pavement. Similar tests can be con-
Quoted for cars gIing at the rate of 80
miles an hour or IS or 40 miles.
Brakes being such an important part
OF ones car and so essential to safety.
1t Is the wise automobile owner who has
them tested or inspected regularly He
has help In this matter in that trafdc
regulations in most communities stipu-
late that brakes must be in efacient
working condition. In many cities there
are special ordinances which provide for
their inspection by the police at periodic
intervals.

Economic conditions in North Caro-
lima are generally believed to be much
better than in the other three States

Carolina's State highway system has
given the Tar Heels the equivalent of a
good, healthy swig from the Fountain

BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

in some circles that it is slovenly to
rest the left arm on the window sill
when driving. There is, however, no
justification for such an idea. The best
of drivers rest an arm on the window
and do 1t for the special purpose of
being able to signal quickly in an emer-
gency. Also, If the left arm is kept in
side there is the likelihood of jamming
the elbow against the door in event OF
q sudden tug at the steering wheel.
One of the more technical features
of the automobile with which it is pro-
fltable for a woman to have at least
slight acquaintance is thrust"
when a mechanic speaks of this, he
really means thrust load" the name
given to a load, or pressure, parallel to
or in the direction of a shaft.
Take the main shaft of the engine
itself. You can readily see that the
action of the pistons and rods working
on the shaft produce a load, or pres
sure, perpendicular to it. This is known
as the radial load, but in addition,
there is an endwise pressure or thrust
load. Engines have to have a special
bearing to take the thrust"
The same thing Is found in the
wheel bearings. When running on a
level road, these bearings are subjected
to radial loads, but when a curve is
encountered a thrust load is added as
an additional load on the bearings.
Thrust pressures frequently get out of
