Motorists are told trr. put a pint of water in a quart bottle, cap it and set it on the floor of the car. The car to be tested should be driven for a short distance at a speed of about 20 miles an hour, then the brake applied. If the bottle remains... upright, it is evidence that the brakes need fixing; but if the bottle upsets and the car stops within 30 feet, the brakes are reasonably satisfactory. The mechanical expert of Toronto’s. Central Police Garage endorses the idea. He says: “From tests T have made at different stopping distances, the method has proved to be correct.”' Advance-Times Want Ads Bring Results.
