His aged parents riding in the rear seat
were both killed. He knew his brake
fluid was very low, the boy said, and
just neglected seeing 10 the matter.
You cannot neglect your brake fluid and
be safe
No Brakes
Only last week a sedan carrying a
vacation family on their way back
home from the West Coast to Richmond,
Va, went into bridge abutment, split
ting the fathers right shoulder wide
open and cutting up his wife's face
horribly on the windshield. He had
pulled over too far to his right to avoid
hitting or being hit by car passing on
his left, intended to slow down and
avoid the abutment, but his brakes
failed. At garage a mechanic who
examined the car for the insurance
company said the brake lining was all
gone and that the brakes had been
frightened until naked brake and drum
were all there was left When the drum
got too thin it broke up Someway or
another. I am not mechanic. only
farmer, do not know all the ways
ones brakes can go wrong. But 1 do
know one thing of vital Importance.
1t pays to have your brakes examined
frequently by a reliable mechanic. Then
follow his advice.

City on Tongue River. I drove Model
T, truly, a very wonderful car then.
One day was ambling along, maybe at
Is miles an hour, when suddenly had
no steering power at all. went off the
road and into tight barbedwire fence,
tangled up with the wire and stopped.
That's the only time in my 43 years of
driving without a mishap with serious
consequences that I ever had the steer
ing apparatus go wrong.
Faulty Steering Gear
have seen plenty of accidents, how
ever, from this cause. 1t was April We
were loaded up with feeder steers out
of Fl. Worth, headed north. We had not
covered over hundred miles on this
haul when l noticed car winding from
one side of the road to the other COM
ing down toward me on my left. pulled
off on the shoulder to my right and
stopped. 1t could have been a drunk or
driver asleep; but it wasn't.
When that driver got up along side
of me he came right across the slab and
butted into the left side of my big trail
er. Only the fact that he was driving
slowly saved both of us from serious
damage. His steering apparatus had
gone wrong and he was trying to gel
to a garage. Dead wrong. He should
have gotten off the slab if he possibly
could and stopped. Otherwise he coulc
have stopped on the slap and pushed
the car off the slab.

The Army also has its diplo-
mats.
Perhaps you never thought
about it, but the military at,
taches who represent the United
States in countries all over the
world fulfill a diplomatic func-
ton as much as State Depart
ment representative.
While they are not career dip
lomats, they are carefully chosen
and put through an intensive
training course preparatory to
going abroad.
Learning Chinese
For example. Col. David Schorr
of Arlington, who has been des-
ignated as Army attache to For
mosa, is spending eight hours a
day learning Chinese before going
to his post next May.
Col. Schorr, a graduate of West
Point, class of 1882, was stationed
in Hawaii at the time of Pearl
Harbor, saw action in Europe
during World War II with the
18th Airborne Division and since
has attended the Command and
General Staff School, the Armed
Forces Staff College and the Ma
tional War College.
Being a military attache is a
new experience for me-" he said.
ST remember when I was a young
lieutenant just out of West Point
I thought that to be an attache
one had to have lots of money
and know how to balance tea
cups. Now, I've learned what
work goes into it and how very
important it is"
And in case any one else
might think this is cookie
pushing" business, here is the
way an attache is chosen and
what is expected of him.
SeIective Job
It is highly selective job and
an officers record is thoroughly
examined before he goes into
training. He must have a col
lege degree and an outstanding
military record, with emphasis
on. combat, for it is especially
important that he know his own
army so that he can better work
with a foreign army.
The military attaches, Army,
Navy and Air Force. are men,
bers of the Ambassadors official
family, and normally rank just
below the counselor of embassy.
MY duties will be to advise
the Ambassador on military mat
tiers and to act as go-between
for the United States Army and
the army of the country in which
I am stationed" said Col. Schorr.
Contrary to public opinion, a
military attaches job is not a
cloak and dagger one, but these
men are highly trained observers
and are expected to report to
their government anything of
interest to the United States. :
And although the emphasis
is not on the social side. the
Army is careful to choose men
who will be at ease in a diplo-
matte post. And they also con-
slider the wife and whether she
will be suitable adjunct to her
husbands position.

Restocked with back-to-school

Military Attaches
Arnny's Diplomats

ing period, both the wives and
husbands attend courses at the
Pentagon to instruct them in
diplomatic procedures and proto-
col and to acquaint them with
life in their particular country.
In the discharge of his duties,
a military attache must do a
certain amount of official en-
PERTAINING. The Government has
relieved him of the burden of
bearing the expense himself by
allotting certain amount for Of
fetal entertaining. Thus the
Army is not restricted to giving
these positions to men with out
side income.
Many people wonder why the
Army only puts a man in an
attache job for two or three
years and then puts him back
on regular Army duty" said Col,
Schorr.
The reason Is that the Army
feels II a man stays away on
foreign duty for years at time,
he looses touch with his coun-
try and its military problems.
Also. they feel that a diversity of
assignments enhances the Of
ficer's professional development
and by rotating personnel, the
Army increases its pool of ex-
perts on various countries" he
said.
Eye Opener
Il must say, this training I
am now going through Is quite
an eye-opener into the customs
OF the Chinese, said Col. Schorr.
I'm told that in talking to a
Chinese one always belittles
whatever one has and compli-
ments or exalts whatever the
Chinese has. For example I
would say to a Chinese Tt is a
great pleasure to meet your
honorable wife But in intro
ouclng my wife to him, ! might
say, May I present my stupid
wife?'"
The colonel isn't sure just how
Mrs. Schorr will like this, but
he thinks he can get her accus-
toned to the idea!
These are just the silly
things" he laughed and then
added, II know my wife agrees
with me that job like this in
Formosa is a terrific challenge.
We are both looking forward
to it."
1t is not soldering" in the
old sense. but in this time of
cold war and little wars the need
for top United States military
observers all over the world was
never more apparent.

CLEANLINESS - S ON e
years ago. after an expedi-
ton to Panama. the. late
naturalist Raymond L. Dit
mars was returning by boat
to the United States with
some priced tarantulas. To
feed them during the voy-
age, he took along a supply
Of grasshoppers.
On the third day out, he
discovered to his grief that
the grasshoppers had died.
What to do about the taran-
tulas, which fed only on live
insects? In desperation, Dit
mars went to the captain
with a delicate request.
Would the captain mind II
he, Ditmars, looked in the
ships galley for reaches?
"You may look if you wish"
said the captain stifay, but
I assure you there are no
reaches on this ship"
The captain was not ex-
| aggerating. The galley
sparkled with cleanliness.
Are you satisfied now?"
asked the captain, expecting
his passenger TO be pleased
with the galley's spotless APP
| pearance. Ditmars was pit
terly disappointed.
For the remainder OF the
trip, he watched over his
tarantulaS anxiously. For
tunately, they made port
without a casualty-only q
little hungry.
