William Krotter was down from
Stuart yesterday. Meeting William
on the street, when it was fifteen
below zero, we remarked that it
was a little chilly and he replied
“not bad, not bad,” altho we thot
it was cold. We remember Wil

ago he was a resident of this city
and driving a team and wagon on
the streets when it was a lot colder
than 15 below and he did not seem
to mind it. We thot he was get

changed our mind.

No. A—OUR BRAKES
Wt’v* all noticed that whenever a train makes a long enough stop in a
station, there’s somebody on the job, dodging in and out under the cars
making sure that everything is in good shape for the train to continue its
trip. One of the things checked at every inspection
point is the brakes. For nobody knows better than
railroads how important it is to be able to stop when
you have to stop.
Now, if we think of it in a certain light, we people
,Who own automobiles are all running little trans
portation systems of our own . . . just like the rail
' roads and airlines and bus companies. Home is the
main terminal and there are lots of stops along the
line ... flag stops, you might say, and regular sched
uled stops—like the office, the grocery store, the
school, the theatre, and our friends' houses.
Just like the railroads, one of the main tilings wo
need to look out for is our brakes. Of course, every
body Knows tms ana yet somenow or otner we re apt
to be a little careless about it. Not that brakes don’t give us plenty of
notice when they’re going to need adjustment. As time goes on we find that
we can push the pedal lower and lower, till after a
while we can shove it down almost to the floor
boards before the brakes take hold. Even then we
sometimes wait quite a while before we have them
adjusted. It just seems to be human nature to put
off things like that. They tell us the result is that
one-third of all cars on streets and highways at any
given time have something wrong with their brakes.
The trouble is that when we let our brakes go like
that, all of a sudden we may have to make an emer
gency stop, and we may find it rather embarrassing.
Engineers say that if we realized what goes on
in brakes we would see why we ought to keep them
checked up. As they explain, It s a story of momentum
and friction, the same old forces we’ve talked about before.
They say that when we get going we build up a certain energy in the
" ~~z

MULTIPLIES
SOOT ^PRESSURE
\
OVER 100 TIMES
lorm oi momentum. Now when we want to stop, we
can't just destroy that energy, because, scientists tell
us. Nature never lets any of its energy bo destroyed.
We can only convert it into some other form of energy.
What brakes really do is to convert speed-energy
Into heat-energy. When we push down on the brake
pedal we press the brake lining against the brake
drums ar.d this creates friction tlmt changes the
energy to heat When we have changed all the speed
energy to heat, then we come to a stop.
Now modern brakes are very powerful. In fact, a
100-horsepower car will have about 5 0C-horse power
brakes. They can step tus pretty quickly even from
high specc’s. Eat v.'.;: n they do, they simply change
those speeds lrto a great deal of heat. In a very short
tune. The fact is we sometimes build up temperatures in our brakes as
high as 1400 degrees!
It’s easy to see that heat like that car. cause a lot
of trouble. Some of us may think it’s fun to ;h up I™ — ■ -
to sudden stops, but we might as well r. ii. ! • two 40 Ft 60 FT.
have to pay for that kind of fun in t .
wear. It simply doesn't pay to build up bra'.: j he a a |k
lot faster than it can be thrown oH. Ard v.v errt; ,\.v j fp
get hardly anything back in time saw . | Hj
it we’re going 30 miles an hour, our brakes can stop 1
us in 40 feet if they are all right; but it takes them
less than two seconds longer to stop us in twice that ,8
distance. How much better it is, under any normal Ucon»s Pi
Circumstances, to begin to apply the brakes a few -—
seconds earlier and, with gradually increasing pres
sure, bring our car to an easy stop. As a matter of fact,
smooth, gradual stopping wherever the circumstances
permit, is generally taken as a sign of a good driver.
Now if we want to keep our brakes safe and sound, it’s important to re
member what these fast stops do to them. But it’s just as important to re
member that all stops generate some heat in our brakes. That’s what, gradu
ally wears down the linings, and sooner or later makes a brake-adjustment
necessary. And that’s why we must watch them and see that adjustments are
made when they are needed.
So maybe it would be a good Idea to keep on thinking of our cars as
private transportation systems. If we keep them in good running condition,
they will serve us with safety and satisfaction.

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James R. Lowell
Nebraska has been singled out as
a stamping ground for political
speakers of national prominence
during the past week, while the
local political scene has been
brightened considerably by the an
nouncements of a number of of
ficials seeking reelection.
Speeches of the national figures
have been carried in the daily pep
ers, but a very brief resume is
herewith offered:
Former President Hoover, speak
ing at Lincoln: “Blessed are the
young for they shall inherit the na
tional debt.”
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, son of
Former President Teddy Roosevelt,
speaking at Omaha: “The AAA
decreased the amount of food avail
able for the people and it was the
direct cause of many going hungry
and half fed.”
Miss Josephine Roche, assistant
secretary of the treasury, speaking
at Omaha: “There are too many
‘perfectionists’ who criticize the
various moves of the administra
tion because they are not perfect,
but who do nothing themselves to
bring about a better social order.”
Governor Cochran has entered
the primary race for re-election
thereby disappointing the political
prognosticators who predicted he
would run for the senate or step
out of the political picture to ac
cept a federal engineering job.
While he is the first democrat to
file for the highest state office,
rumor has it that John Morehead
of Falls City, former governor and
former cong*-esrmnn, may get in
the race. Others mentioned are
Congressman Harry Coffee of
Chadron, James Quigley of Valen
tine, chairman of the state demo
cratic commi'tce; and State Sen
ator John S. Callan, of Odell.
Lieutenant Governor Walter Jur
gensen has filed as a democratic
candidate for re-election to the of
fice he now holds. The lieutenant
governor at the next election will
preside over the unicameral legis
lature on a full-time basis and will
receive double the pay of a legisla
tor, His salary will be $3,488 for
the two-year term.
Former Congressman Edgar
Howard of Columbus, is said to
have ambitions to be U. S. Senator,
while State Treasurer George Hall
has already filed on the democratic
ticket for the Washington job. J. J.
Thomas of Seward, attorney who
stepped into a position on the fed
eral reserve board soon after the
new deal began to take shape, is
being boomed by democrats as a
candidate for the senate if he is not
re-appointed to the hanking board.
Hugo F. Srb of Dodge, democrat j
j who has had considerable experi
ence in legislative circles is likely
to run for congress in the third
congressional district. Orville Chatt
of Tekamah, democrat who made
a good tho losing race in 1934 is
being mentioned as another con
tender in the third district.
W. J. Williams, republican, and
Saunders county product, who was
chief investigator for the banking
investigation committee named at
the direction of the legislature last
spring, has filed as a candidate for
the republican nomination for con
gress in the first district. He is
against the new deal, and says he
hopes that Former Governor Bryan
gets the democratic nomination if
he—Williams—4?ets the republican
nomination. “With information
gleaned from the banking depart
ment investigation, I can blast Bry
an clear out of the water and may
be send him to the penitentiary,”
Williams declares.
S. R. McKelvie, former governor
and Hoover farm board member,
has announced his approval of Gov
ernor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, as
a republican candidate for presid
ent. Last summer it was rumored
that McKelvie was ambitious to
run as vice-president, but his en
dorsement of Landon upsets that
rumor. The republican vice-presid
ential candidate now being talked
up is Congressman James W. Wad
sworth of New York, who is a wet
and a conservative.
E. Preston Bailey, Thayer county
farmer and state legislator, is con
sidered to be a likely candidate for
the state auditor’s office. . . . H. W.
Scott of Lincoln, former state tax
commissioner under Governors Mc
Mullen and Weaver, has entered
the race for railway commissioner
in the republican primary. . . .
Hugh Butler will run for republic
an national committeeman from
Nebraska and Mrs. M. D. Cameron
of Omaha will not be a candidate
for re-election at national commit
teewoman from Nebraska.
Secretary of State Harry R.
Swanson is a candidate to succeed
himself in his present office.

It has been proposed that a spec
ial convention of the republican
party be called in Nebraska to con
sider persons who have filed as
candidates on the party’s ticket and
to let the voters know whether
these men are worthy of support.
Plans have been made for a
statewide “rank and file” organiza
tion of the republican party in Ne
braska to campaign against the
new deal. Clubs are to be organ
ized all over the state.
Nebraska’s 1935 tax bill will be
more than $42,000,000 or nearly
$2,000,000 more than the 1934 as
sessments, according to Tax Com
missioner Smith. Some of the
counties have been unusually slow
in reporting as a result of the new
law requiring car owners to pay
personal taxes on their cars be
fore they will be issued license
plates. This last is profitable for
the more populus counties but not
for the smaller counties, Mr. Smith
believes, and tiie law must be
straightened out by the next legis
lature.
Mr. Behrens, board of control
member, purchased a perfectly
matched team of Percheron mares
for the Beatrice feeble minded in
stitution, and now he is offering
the state $200 more than he paid
for the 4-year-old mares, for his
own use. He wants to put the
team on his 800-acre farm near
Beemer. ,
