This Is positively

Such was the conclusion of r*hlef
of Police Janes P. Colle, of this city
nt the conclusion of a demonstration
given to Flint officials to prove the
efficiency of the Buick-^four-wheel
brakes. \ i
At the invitation of the Bulck
Motor company. Chief Cole, Mayor
Cuthbet4son, Police Sergeant Mc
Donnell, and three police commis
sioners. were shown what he new
brakes would do at various speeds

At the conclusion all agreed that the
demonstration was a revelation and
that in their opinion when applied

The greatest thing ever," he remarked.
'Once when tve were going thirty-five
miles an hour, the car was brought
standstill In a little over thirty
feet."
Loaded with seven passengers, the

town streets where traffic Is heaviest
ire It was demonstrated that
could be brought to a stand,
still within the length or two from o
speed of ten to fifteen miles an hour.
Satisfied as to these testa the party
drove at the rate of twenty-five miles

brakes and stopped within a car’s
width of a passing trolley car. Anoth-

On the country road speed was In-
erwined from thirty to thirty-five mile*
and hour To demonstrate how quick,
ly the car could be stopped at this

the rear of a horse-drawn express
wagon. Coming up to within a short
disantn of the latter, the brakes were
applied nnd tho car brought to n stand
still In thirty three feet. The aarne
test was applied In running head on

The significance of these results Is
best appreciated when the standard
