During the week OF July 18th.
the Police Department conducted
brake test and II was amazing
the number OF automobiles that
were being driven about the streets
Of Detroit without good brakes.
How many times do some OF us
take our car out OF the garage
knowing that We have only one
headlight or no tail light. but ne
glect getting II fixed until our at
teniion is called to Il by some
police officer. II we neglect our
lishls. We may also neglect our
brakes. hui with so many thous-
ands 'of cars on the streets OF De-
troit today, we cannot afford TO
lake chance OF driving without
knowing just how quickly and how
far from certain object. our
brakes can stop ~.
Surprising some small child
should suddenly dart out from bet
~een parked automobiles. That
childs life would depend upon the
condixsn OF your brakes and II
they d., no, function right. tie

son experiences through this type
.of accident The picture OF that

dren are playing they never think
of automobiles therefore we driy-
ers must do their thinking as well
~ our own. BY anticipating their
movements and driving our cars
accordingly. we csn avert many
