And even if the owner knows that his brakes are not dragging, it is good to make this test regularly, for it wiD show whether there is any other car disorder that exerts a drag on the running geas. If the car slows down too rapidly, and the brakes are found 0. K., then there is too much frictional resistance somewhere, and the qulc~er the owner has it corrected, the better.

It is to be expected that some congestion will be encountered, particularly on the narrow eighteen and twenty-foot roadways, just outside Cook county.

Most of the roads in this county have either been widened to forty feet or are scheduled for such action. seriously ahects car performance and operating economy, is passed on to the motoring public by Cari Hanson of Hanson Motors, Winnetka GrahamPaige dealer. ' To test for dragging brakes, attain a speed of · 30 miles an hour on a smooth and level road, then shift to neutral and let the car coast. When the speedometer shows 25 miles an hour, begin timing the deceleration. If your car is not rolling 5 miles an hour or faster at the end of 60 seconds, have the brakes inspected. To offset the effect of the wind, the driver should make the test in both directions over the same level stretch, and note the average time taken to decelerate from 25 miles per hour to 5 miles per hour. The average should be 60 seconds or more. "The beauty of thi~ test," says Hanson, "is that it can be performed at Ask fOr It by NamePines AUTOMATIC .. .
