Three -Points tp Check
Are Brakes, Horns
and the Lights
Now thut the seuson bus urrived
when everyone, in America, who has
an automobile Is driving It as much
as possible the'lndlvldual motorist
owes It to himself and to others to
mako certain that his car Is In an
absolutely sufe condition, accord
ing to I'M unk K. Iteusswlg, director
of public tafcty department of thCj
Oregon State Motor association, i
There are throe points that should i
bo checked especially,' he says, und j
those three ho names us tho brakes, ,
tlie horn, und tho lights. . f
Tli es unit's, Mr. Itousswlg bo
tieves to bo the most vital of all
from the standpoint of safety and,
he asserts, unless the motorist ,is
satisfied as to their efficiency he
should not tfoln the traffic stream.
A simple .Matter..
"It surely Is a simple, matter to
drop Into one's servtco station und
have a mechanic chock' 4)ver the
condition of . brakes, horn, and
light." Mr. Kcussw Ig says. The Job
Itself takes but a few moments, und
even If adjustments are necessary
It Is not likely that they will con
sumo m itch time.
"However, tho Importance of this
work shouldhot be measured by
tho usually smull umoimt of time
It takes. N Jirakes, of courso, uro
tho automobile's most essential
safely factor. Without efficient
brukes safety" Is impossible of
achievement. With brakes only
partially efficient, safety still Is fur,
away. The motorist should bo sat
isfied with nothing less than luu
per cent efficiency In tho operation
of his deceleration equipment, and
tho .motorist whp la. satisfied with
less is a menace to every highway
user, Including himself. .
Overlooking tlio Horn ,
"Tho horn frequently, is overlook
ed In sufoty thought, und too oft
en Us importance. has been mini
mised by Ignorant usage, l'roper
ly used, a good, clear horn Is an in
dispensable ndjunct. The motorist's
responsibility is-to seo to It that
the horri is malntajned In good con
dition, that its note Is reasonable
und distinct, and then to use It with
care and Intelligence. If these rules
are followed, the horn will be found
to bo a tower of strength -In many.
many cases.
-"Correctly focused lights, yield
ing full but not excessive glow,
should bo found on every car In
these months qf heavy driving.
Since night-time motoring is be
coming more and mure an absoluto
essential. Nothing is more unsafe
for. everyone than mal-adjusted
headlamps, and nothing la mora
conducive to un unpleasant eve
ning's spin. To overlook this safe
ty factor Is Inexcusable..
"Itcmember tho three places to
watch brakes, horn und llgh'ts
und today's motoring will be freer,
better, safer."
