EDT 9 Fecha te Strange as it may seem, there is a right and a wrong way to use the brakes. It is just as necessary to know how to use the brakes in the RIGHT way, as it is to know how to steer your Car. : Most drivers when they learn how = to drive, recetve about & seconds instruction on “How to use the brakes,” and that instruction ts gen- erally compressed into about 25 words. “This is the brake pedal, when you want to stop the car, push it in.” The control of your car depends a great deal om the efficiency of your brakes and the way you operate them. Here are a few simple test questions that will show you how muck you know about your brakes and the art of braking— @) Ssy you are travelling at about 20 miles an hour, and you wish to stop at a point 60 feet away —where would you start to apply the brakes—would you push out the clutch as soon as you Started to ap- ply the brakes of would you leave it in and push it out later? aeoes avane usessasiesenaner prevveene Here is the answer—When you are within 60 feet of where you wish to stop—take your foot off the ac- celerator and close the ie. This will immediately reduce the of the car, because when you the throttle, the engine then acts a very efficient air brake pedal then apply a steady pressure on the brake pedal, strong enough to bring the car to a atop at the right point. This method of stopping a car al- lows it to come to a stop GRAD- UALLY and SMOOTHLY without Jerking or jarring, and in addition adds considerably to the life of the tires. @) When you are travelling down ® steep hill—do you make the brakes do all the work, or do you relieve them by using the engine as a say 60 feet, then release it and ap- CAR AND TRUCK STORAGE At the Liberty Garage Telephone 983 428 South Elm Street FOR CASH Your Golden Opportunity Prudential Tires HOW’S THIS 30x83 32x4 $22.00 33x4 $22.50 $2.85 34x4 = «$23.00 $1.75 82x38 %4 $2.75 B2x4 46 $27.50 i 33x4%6 34x4t5 $27.50 Center Street Service Station Cor.

If you use one brake all the time, the brake drum will heat up and the btake lining will glaze or may even burn cut. Suppose this happens when you are half way down the hill, and it has happened many, many times, you will find yourself in a very nasty situation. If you get excited, you may even lese control of the car altogether and have a nasty accident, Play safe, on a steep hill change into a lower gear, leave the clutch in, close the throttle, and use the hand and foot brakes alternately every 60 feet.

When the throt- tle is open, the engine prope's the car all right, but when the throttle is closed, the engine then acts as a very efficient brake. When you close the throttle, you out off the supply of gas to the cylin: ders, therefore the engine stops fir- ng and of course, stops propelling the car.

OL0S PRODUCT ALL OWN MAKE | | Great Strides Made | Extending Plant Facilities. For the first time tn 26 years the Olds Motor Works, Lansing, Mich.. is now almost exclusively on a basis where everything that goes into its cars is manufactured in its own plant. At this time, the factory executives say, the reorganization of the plant has progressed to the point where within two months the company will be manufacturing more than 90 per cent of everything that goes into its product. Early last summer the Olds Motor Works started to rebuild its entire plant to produce the lowest priced | six cylinder car in the world, and | several million dollars were invest- | ed in specialized equipment and plant alterations, the whole plant | being revamped and greatly im- proved. Today Olds Motor Works stands on a basis which few of the hun- dred odd automobile manufacturers in the country can boast of, that of being in a position to produce its own product from start to finish.
