Brakes Tested Now Past 7,000 New Record in Safety Cam paigns Expected to Be Made Here. Omaha's brake-testing drive, spon sored by The Omaha Bfce, has so far equaled in the number of cars tested drives held in several cities of more than a million population, according to Jerry Cavanaugh of Detroit, man ager of the testing at Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue. The drive had been In progress four and a half days at noon Friday, when it was announced that a few mors than 7,000 motor vehicles of all de scriptions had been tested for faulty brakes. Equals Detroit. Manager Cavanaugh declared that this equals those tested in Detroit during the same length of time and predicts that the late Friday night rush and the testing on Saturday will be so great that the Omaha drive will establish a new record in safety circles throughout the country. Of the 7,000 cars, trucks, cabs and busses tested, approximately 3,775 iiave received the official pink sticker . on their windshields, indicating that brakes are in good working order. This is a high percentage, Cavanaugh says. More encouraging still Is the fact that hundreds of vehicles which failed to pass are returning with ad justed brakes and obtaining the pink windshield O. K. stickers. A line of motor vehicles extending for more than a hlock was waiting at S Friday morning at the Fifteenth street side of the Capital avenue test ing place. A large crowd also was at Fourteenth street entrance License Numbers Recorded. License number of every car which passes through the testing place is being recorded, no matter whether the car passes the test or not. The police department and the Omaha Auto Trade association through A. B. Waugh, commissioner, ar# co-operat ing with The Omaha Bee In the drive. Saturday will be the last chance to obtain a pink O. K. sticker. For the sake of the kiddles who may be maimed by bad automobile brakes, and for your own sake, have your brakes tested before the drive closes.

There is considerable rejoicing among local printers, not alone over the removal of the tax, but from the fact the con dition of their union is so healthy fi nancially as to warrant the action, which makes the Saturday half-holi day a fixture in the commercial divi sion of the printing industry. 2 WOMEN HURT IN AUTO CRASH Cars driven by J.
