Show LESSON IN GENTLE BRAKING No Quicker or Certain Way of Sendini Tire to Junkman Than to Stop Wrth Jerk. Apply the brakes considerately and the car will soon show Its gratitude, because gentle brake application reduces re-duces the Btraln on tires, wheels, springs and other parts. If the brakes are upplled with full force at least one. if not both rear wheels nre likely to lock, and In sliding along the ground a noticeable amount of rubber is scraped from the tire at the point where It contacts with the ground. There Is no quicker nor more certain way of sending tires quickly to a rubbish rub-bish heap or the Junkman. Harsh brake applicntion wears tlie brake lining lin-ing unduly and pulls and racks the whole car. Much greater economy will be obtained nnd much less trouble will be experienced if the brakes are used i s sparingly as possible. , |
