They may become matted and are apt to need constant adjustment. The best linings are usually woven with plenty of asbestos and copper wires. “It usually takes a good mechanic to install brake linings properly. It is | necessary that the linings bhe ade quately stretched to aveid wrinklin Also tbe rivets must he properiy ®unk, so the metal of the rivets will not score the brake drum, thereby | causing the brakes to fail to hold! as they should “Squeaking brakes are a nuisance! which can be avoided by proper ad- | Justment The annovance can often he stopped by removing the wheels #nd roughening the brake lining with a file.

He was given @ cordial reception the audience upon arrival by Jeft to make it the right length for ef- ficient use. “In testing the internal type of brake it may be necessary to remove tha wheels, adjust the oam plates and adjusting nuts and equalize the length of the brake rods. Where four brakes are employed all four wheels should be jacked clear of the ground and ad- justment made at each individual wheel. What te Do When in Doubt. “When in doubt as to whether sach brake is doing its share of work, if there are only two, jack up the rear wheels and apply the brakes far enough so It is just possible to turn | orie wheel by hand. Then adjust the brake on the other wheel s0 that an equal amount of energy s required to turn that wheel. When four breaks are provided the other two are ad- justed in the same manner. “In going down an. ordinary hill leave the clutch engaged and close down the throttle.

He refused to explain just what the pin should indicate. Rutledge is an aviator, *all right, judging from his demonstration of fiylng ability at Bolling Field.

Thaddeus O'Sullivan, in his seventies and long a priest in the Cathollc Church, died at Providence Hospital today, after a lingering ili- ness. Father O'Sullivan had for sev- eral years assisted at St. Paul's Cath- olic Church and was chaplain to the Sisters of the Perpetual Adoration.

Miss Phillips pointed out that De- troit is strongly in favor of the platoon school, 90 of its 125 elemen- tary schools having been put on this system of operation. The distin- guishing feature of this type of school, she said, is division of school enrollment into two large groups for the purpose of working all of the school equipment simultaneously. A platoon school, she emphasized, is more economical to operate than the traditiopal school. A committee of the Board of Edu- cation, headed by Ernest Greenwood, vice president, is now {investigating the platoon school, as a result of a proposal that the system be adopted in the District schools.
