The fines were paid by the prisoners who were convicted of operating pleasure cars, taxicabs and motor trucks with bad brakes. In imposing the fines, the court warned the accused that a sec- ond conyiction would mean a term in the workhouse. Result of Accidents. The department of public safety is engaged in a city-wide campaign to induce motorists to give necessary attention to brakes. This drive is a result of an epidemic of automobile accidents which caused more than a dozen deaths in one week. The brake inspection squad is operating in every | borough of Greater New York. Officers use automobiles and watch others. When a machine is seen to be using brakes that have not been adjusted it is halted and the brakes are tIn- spected. If they are in bad condition the driver is given a summons to ap- pear In traffic court where Magistrate Simms is imposing heavy fines and jail sentences for second offenders, Due to Bad Brakes. Results of the recent Investigation in the Borough of Brooklyn show that 80 per cent of all auto accidents are due to bad brakes. Several cities have sent safety experts to ascertain the methods employed in New York to curb this evil. At least a dozen other municipalities have {naugurated brake inspection campaigns which have re- sulted in a decrease in the number of accidents. The New York city brake inspection work is belng conducted under the di- rection of Marcus Dow, president of the National Safety council, which re- cently made public statistics showing that more than 12,000 persons were victims of automobile accidents in this eountry last year. At present police officers connected with the department of public safety are delivering a series of lectures on brake adjustment at daily meetings ef motorists held in public garages,” achools, and before ciyic associations, REPAIR REAR AXLE HOUSING One of Several Methods for Mending Broken Part of Auto Is II- lustrated and Described. When the rear axle housing of my automobile broke, I repaired it in the manner here described and illustrated, Before beginning the repairs, I wired the broken parts together by drawing STRIPS SCREWED SING BRAZE ARCUND BREAK AND ALONG STRIPS: a Broken Rear \s Here Illustrated. Axie Housing wire tight from one brake drum to the other. Then I drilled and tapped sev eral series of 14-inch holes in the hous- fmg, three on each side of the break for each of the strips that were In- tended to hold the broken parts to- gether, The strips, of which I used four, were eight inches long and %-inch wide and 3-16 inch thick. In each of the strips I drilled six holes %4-inch ‘n diameter to match the holes drilled in the housing, The strips were screwed to the housing—and then I wrazed all the way around them.—A. J.

Lynn G, Adams, superintend- ent of the Pennsylvania state police force, recently promulgated the fol- lowing simple rules which, he said, if observed by all motorists, would re- duce the number of accidents on the highways 95 per cent. The rules are as follows: 1. Read the automobile laws of your state carefully, 2. Never travel at a high rate of speed over a road with which you are unfamiliar, 8, Never drive, at any time, on the wrong side of the highway. 4, Heed warning signs. 5. Never pass, or attempt to puss, a car going in the same direction at the crest of a hill or on a curve, 6. Never stop your car just over the brow of a hill or just. around a curve, 7. Never follow a car traveling at a high rate of speed at less distance than 50 yards, 8. If you wish to pass another car | going in your direction choose a long, straight stretch of road. 9. When you are trayeling at a chosen rate of speed don’t “speed up” | because someone attempts to pass you. 10. Make careful and frequent in- spections and tests of your brakes, 11, Never use bulbs of higher can- dlepower than those prescribed by law for your lenses, 12. Inspect your tall light frequent- ly. This light marks the position of your car for the following driver, who may be’ facing light of an oncoming automobile. 18. Remember that the taking of a human life by doing a lawful act in an unlawful manner is Involuntary manslaughter, a crime punishable by a prisor sentence. 14. Remember that every time you “take a chance” you are gambling— with the lives of other people as the “stakes,” 15. “Safety First, Last and Always.” GET AWAY FROM MUD SPLASH When Machines Are Close Together Dirt Is Not Likely to Strike as High as Door. When trying to avold getting splashed with mud most drivers will get as far away from a passing car as possible. This is just the reverse of what one ought to do to ayold such nuisance. When the cars are ten feet or so apart any mud that Is splashed is sure to strike the body of the other car, whereas if the machines are closer together, say three feet apart, mud that Is splashed will only strike the wheels and tle under sides of the fenders, What mud would or- dinarlly spiash on the doors is much more likely to be caught under the running board when the cars pass closer together.

Although it sounds paradoxical, a load of bird shot pumped into the body of Turner Barber, the outfielder obtained by Brooklyn from Chicago in a trade, made the former a much bet- ter batsman. From the character of the injury sustained one would think that Bar- ber’s playing would be impaired, but he insists that it worked just the op- posite and points to the records to bear out the assertion, He batted 314 in 1921 and .809 last season. The shooting, purely accidental, oc- curred in the woodland in the vicinity of the player’s home at Milan, Tenn., two years ago. Barber was picking his way through some sage brushwood to get within aiming distance of a pheasant, Just as he popped his head up to discharge his musket, a fellow huntsman, taking him for a deer, fired his shotgun, and Barber fell back bleeding profusely from four ugly wounds. One piece of shot lodged in the fore- head, between the eyes, narrowly miss- ing the optic nerve which would have caused total blindness, The other three lodged in the left side of the nose, the left hand near the thumb and in the calf of the right leg. Barber dug the piece of shot out of his leg with a penknife and his fam- ily physician removed the piece from his hand, It was found unnecessary to extract the metal from the forehead and nose and Barber is still carrying them ground with him. He says he feared at first that the forehead wound would bother his vision, but instead it seemed to steady the nerves and his eyesight has improved. He claims that he gets a better view of the ball and has hit harder than before the accident. The player has suffered no ill effects since the shooting.
