recent nriir.e by William VUumn
In the Pctroit Automobile club's
puhliruUon, tho Detroit Motor
News,
"ThlnkinR uhead In car buying
has become a prime consideration
for nintorimn who are not addicted
to the yearly buying habit," the
article rend 8.
"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. ;

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

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

then shift Into neutral and coast.
Begin timing your dec el era ton

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

the bands.
If the bands are too tight, re
adjust them. In many cases, how

Whatever the cause, correct th

that a free running car, with Quick

Brakes are for stopping th- cur,
