"The question tn the m!nd of the motorist who thinks ahead fhou)d be whether the cor he buys now will be able to transport his car, with comfort, at the speed that will be customary for fond travel within the next few years. "The predictions are that ppeed. more than pulling power, will be the prime demand upon tho motors within a short time. "Here lite motorist turns to road building for an answer to his query. He finds that concrete roads are not merely making high er speeds relatively safe, but that they are also eliminating steep grades and treacherous turns. If the motorist is looking ahead he cannot afford to buy a car Just be cause It walks up a hill in hifrh pear or blows off his hat when the demonstrator steps on the gas for a brief interval. , "The buyer wants a motor that will sustain speed, and sustain It without vibration. Another factor tho thoughtful motorist takes Into consideration Is that within the next few years there t likely to be an era of soar in(t ttaaollne prices. An engine to day that will not deliver more than 12 miles to a italfon. as an average for its year-round operation, may be a white elephant In lW'JT.'' Still more corroborative evidence of Mr. Ohryaler'a forecast the ear of tho future would bo a smaller car Is contained in tho same nr Uele. "It is contended by studenis of the changing conditions in motor dom that wheciluise need nn.Ioimer ho an imponiint consideration. There was a ttmo when comfort was determined by the length of the car. but nowadays some of the extremely short '.cars have excellent riding qualities, and the tendency Is to shorten the wheel base still further. Tho man who la buying a cur for the future naturally looks forward to an era, of smooth roads and smaller parking spaces. ; ROAD LOITERER MENACE THIS PEST 'UKNKKALliY TAKKS CKNTElt OK HIGHWAY One of the. grento.it menaces to raffle on tho streets, tno bouie vanta and eton on the country highways, la the slow driver cruie int? down tlio center of the t'lomuehfare.)

Fortunately, brakes dont ko bmt atl at unce, and an they becoino vm and low effective tho driver just naturally applies thorn earlier and more energetically; however. In emerge ncy.j ho cannot atop so quickly as ho Should, ao that he la risking accident a long na tho brukea are not at their maximum stopping efficiency. The opposite fault with brake., on the other hand,1 may exist with out the driver's realising it, though If he did he would be Juki as eugor to correct It as to repair brakes that fall to stop the car efficiently. This second fault is dragging brakes brakes that are too tight, and therefore exert a constant drag on the engine, with a correa ponding Increase in fuel consumu tlon. On an un-grudo climb, the least drag seriously affects tno performance of the car. The fact that dragging brakes are costing the driver money for wasted gasoline Is enough to. make most owners correct this fault. The trouble Is thai few ot them realise when this condition exists. Fortunately, however, auyoue may quickly determine whether lie la laburing under this unnecessary load on his motor and his purse. Brake Test la Easy Here is a test that anyone can make for hUtuwdf: On a well-paved level highway, attain a speed of 30 miles an hour, then shift Into neutral and coast. Begin timing your dec el era ton when the speedometer, shows 35 miles an hour: at the en4 of 60 seconds, your car should still be rolling five miles an hour or fast er. If It Isn't look for draggtnK bra k as A more certain test can be made. and is well worth while. Jack up both rear wheels, and with tho shift lever In neutral, turn each wheel forward by hand, first one and then the other. If the brakes are free, the opposite wheels should, turn backward, easily and evenly. Any "swishing1 sound or resistance Indicates that the brnko drums are making contact with the bands. If the bands are too tight, re adjust them. In many cases, how ever, the dragging fa due to out-of-rounds bund-, which must th?n be lued up at a service ntatton. Whatever the cause, correct th fault at, ence. Save your brakes; don't wear them out ot the ex pense of gasoline economy and performance ability. Remember that a free running car, with Quick accelerating powers, may often avoid a mishap that could not to prevented by perfect stopping ability. Brakes are for stopping th- cur, not (or overloading the engine.
