"Brakes are perhaps the , most im portant single item on a vehicle, as far as safety is concerned. The fact that many people drive vehicles with poor brakes was shown last year, wfcen 890 fatal accidents and 26,200 aon-fatals in the United States were caused by defective brakes. 1 When you take your car or truck to one of the State's mechanical in spection lanes for its check-up some time this year, brakes are among the most important mechanisms to be tested. , . , , The Manual of Motor .Vehicle Me chanical Inspection Requirements has this to say about braking effort: "All motor vehicles except motor trucks or tractor-trucks ; with semi fajilers originally equipped with four wheel service brakes may not in this respect be altered, shall be capable of ..producing a total braking effort of k, not less than 54 per cent of the ve ,icle weight (corresponding to a stop ping distance of 25 feet; at 20 miles (i per hour). "All motor vehicles originally equipped with two-wheel service brakes shall be capable of producing total braking effort of not less than SO per cent of the . vehicle weight ( (corresponding to a stopping distance of 45 feet to 20 miles per hour).

No. the sxeen vegetables are richer in vitamins than the white. It is probably due to the chlorophyl or coloring matter. When this is I bleached out of celery, asparagus or any other vegetable, it is rendered less useful to the body. Until modern knowledge revealed the reason for eating greens, people consumed them 'in the spring because they had an idea that they did some thing to the blood that was helpful, At THERE'S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT . .

The dry seeds are poor sources of vitamin A. , The ' green , shoots that are sent up from the seeds are much richer in it. Green cabbage contains more, vitamin A than white cabbage.

'" 'tvKvy-1 : "The relationship between the vita min A content of such familiar edible plant tissues as lettuce and aspara- and ' their desrree of arreenness has been cogently demonstrated by1 cultural Experiment Station in East Lansing. ; Their investigations have dealt with the" effects of light of vari ous qualities. By the .. selection of suitable glasses, acting as, light filt ers of different potencies, it has been possible to produce all degrees of greenness in asparagus shoots of the same age under comparable environ mental conditions."' The analysis showed that the asparagus that con tained the largest amount .of chloro phyl, that is, the one that was the greenest, possessed "the greatest amounts of nutritive vitamins. The coloring matter in vegetables is said to be rich in vitamins. Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel Sterling, profes sor of physiological chemistry at Yale, says that "recent . experiments have shown that yellow vegetables such as carrots, yellow turnips, yel low corn and sweet potatoes abound in important vitamins v which are found in butter and cod liver oil." It seems as though these vege tables might be used as a substitute for cod liyer oil in the diet, of chil dren. Strained, they would "be more appetizing and palatable. We see that even the white corn meal and potatoes are not so rich in nutrition as the yellow. The yellow color is by the green grass, and it is the chlorophyl in that which is the vegetable analogue of hemoglobin in flesh foods. ' ' All these colors are manufactured in the laboratory of nature, through the action of sunshine on the chemi cals in the soil.
