DEMAND FOR LIGHT
AUTO OF CLASS
Manager Richardson of the Re-
lance Company Suggests
the HerreShOff

Manager Richardson of the Reliance
auto company, in speaking of the new
Herreshoff car, said yesterday: 1T was
to fill the need of a light car of class
that the Herreshoff car was intended.
The owner of the heavy car Invariably
drives 1t about in the congested traffic
of the city with feeling of uneasiness
and unrest; he feels he is running an
unwarranted risk with his high priced
production and is abusing it. The in
cidental wear on brakes. on tires, on
gears and other parts of the mechanism
Is larger than in almost any other
character of work for which he could
employ his car. The engine is run
ming on low speed and consuming
more fuel, more iubricating oil, and
suffering more wear than if IL We're
doing the work for which 1t is es-
sentially designed. Gear shifts are con-
stantly necessary with the attendant
wear of meshing and unmeshing gears
Each time the heavy weight of the car
is checked by the application of brakes
the wear on the brake drums is eXces-
slVe-in fact, recourse to brakes IS
rarely necessary in the open country,
but is constantly required in the city
A light car designed with a larger
range of engine speed can be run more
economically as to fuel and oil con-
shifts. and requires less effort to check
its momentum than the big car it is
more facile and more economical, and
therefore better adapted to this class
of work. 1t is not only better suited
TO this work, but can also be employed
to better advantage in suburban serv-
ice"

NEW CONTEST FOR
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Eastern Club Given Good Ad-
vice by Goodyear Company
Regarding Penalties

The general public and the motor
enthusiasts have been greatly inter
ested in the work done by the cars in
the American automobile associations
annual tour, and equally interested in
the performances of the tires used on
the cars, but little has been said with
regard to the latter No competition
has ever been arranged by the associa-
tion to determine the progress of the
tire The motor club of Harrisburg
Pa, asked for suggestions, and the
Goodyear company sent the following
reply:
Your suggestions with regard to a
tire contest are timely We offer the
following suggestions:
"All tires used in the contest should
be purchased in the open market, which
prevents the use of special tires made
for the purpose and which are not
sold regularly to the trade.
Each tire manufacturer should have
the right TO designate the particular
style of tire he makes to be used in
the contest.
by way of explanation, VIC wish to
state that this company makes two
forms OF tires-the detachable with
straight sides and the clincher with
beaded sides. We make the former be-
cause we believe them to be the most
practical. durable and trouble proof de-
sign. We make the latter because
there is q demand for a tire to fit regu-
lar clincher rims, on which our de-
tachable form of tire can not be used.
"All time lost for stops occasioned
by tires should be penalized certain
number OF points for delay occastoned
by punctures, a heavier penalty occa-
stoned by blowouts, and a still heavier
penalty for loss of time occasioned by
tires blowing off the rim
1--WE would allow each car three tires
for rear wheels and three tires for the
front wheels. which would provide one
spare tire for each wheel without pc
nslizing for anything but time lost; but
should a car have to use the seventh
casing, or more, a very heavy penalty
should be inflicted for each additional
casing in addition to time lost for
changing.
There should be official observers"

Manager L. V. Lynch Gives
Demonstration to Satisfy
Particular Customer

Lynch is elated over the sale, as Ep
pinger had for a month been investi-
eating several other high grade
makes. and the deal was closed after
he had called Chief Engineer Bunker
of the Manchuria to pass on the merit
Of the engine. After a thorough DEM
onstration under all conditions, Bun
ker indorsed the car. especially the
engine, as being one of the simplest
yet most powerful he had ever ridden
behind. Solely on his recommendation
was the order placed. Lynch feels that
under such trying conditions he has
reason to be proud of this sale, and
the recommendation of such practical
man as Chief Engineer Bunker should
satisfy the most skeptical as to the
quality that goes to make up the

Art Dealers Find.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Wertheimer, London art dealer, was one day passing through Mayfair when he noticed a sale about to take place of the furniture and effects of a deceased nobleman." He walked through the rooms where dealers were critically examining choice specimens of undoubtedly genuine Chippendale and Sheraton, interspersed among early Victorian furniture, his eyes ap- parently dwelling on nothing. But when the sale was about to begin he asked the auctioneer if he would take
 z 5000 (s25,000) for everything in the house The offer was accepted. Now you can resell everything for me- said MT. Wertheimer, "except this.' and he , took down from the mantelpiece a dirty ornament some nine inches high ] and put it into his pocket. It was a piece of the rarest Dresden china, bearing the coveted mark of the wand of Aesculapais, which he afterward
 sold for s50,O00.

 When the Kansas legislature tackled the subject 1t rolled up its sleeves and went after the hostelries in approved Kan sas style. It not only prescribed sanl- tary regulations and provided for clean towels and sheets of ample length and breadth, but 1t required hotel owners to make costly and elaborate arrangements for insuring the safety of their guests in case of fire. The average Boniface was prompt to comply with the minor re- quirements, but he baked on supplying fire escapes, ropes. red lights and chem ical extinguishers.
 There are some 100 hotels in the state that are to be investigated. Of 657 so far inspected only 75 have secured "cre- dentials." Eleven have gone out of bus iness and 1t is believed many others will prefer to close rather than to comply with the law.
 4he statute works no great hardship on the city hotels, but the country hos telries are hard hit. The landlord whose patronage Is limited to a half dozen or a dozen guests in the course of a week s business cannot see the necessity of ex- tensive outlay. A man doesn't need to

From the Louisville Courier-Jo Journal.
 Kansas. always a little more radical in the reform business than any other state. is regulating hotels. The regula- tion is SO rigorous that good many of them are about to be regulated out of ex- istence. Most persons who have stopped at hotels to any appreciable extent will agree that there are sundry and divers things about most hotels that should be remedied or rectified. State legislatures, in the main. have paid little attention to the problem. Out west, however, where tall men are numerous, there has come a demand for nine-foot sheets and few other conveniences, such as men who need nine-foot sheets feel they have right to ask.
 Texas and Oklahoma, and probably some other states, have enacted laws looking toward such essential reforms as clean towels and sheets of adequate d. mensions for guests of longitudinal build, Western landlords have been little care less about supplying clean towels and the sanitary arrangements around hotels have been so inadequate that the law In its wisdom has prescribed a few simple rules

BELAsco's FIND" OF WAKEFIELD
Pathetic Note in Actors Voice Shown
 in Poen's Recital.

H. A Harris in the Cosmopolitan.
 MT. Belasco ''discovered'' David War field in a rather unusual manner. MT. warfield recited a poem at a private en- tertainment, and after the recital MT. Belasco said: That man has the most marvelously pathetic note in his voice that I have ever heard, and he doesn't know it.''
 MT. WarfieId became a Belasco star and Charles Klein wrote his first play. ''The Auctioneer." Illness prevented MT. Be- ,asco from giving personal attention to the rehearsals. Lee Arthur was called in as collaboration, and the first version of the play was much altered. It was not successful on the road, however, and there was much gloom, for it had been arranged that the play was to be produced at the Bijou theatre, in New York.
 '.The play at that time was almost en- tirely lacking in pathos. Warfield had re- lied almost completely on his comedy ef- fects. Belasco took Warfield to one side and said. apropos to the second act:
 Look here, Dave, we've got to get a pathetic note here. Here you are, a little Hester street Jew, who has de- veloped from a shoestring peddler into a seni-millionaire, You have realized the height of your ambition. You own a house on Lexington avenue. You have given a housewarming. The guests are all gone. You and Esther, your wife, the woman that is the Madonna of the world to you, are left alone. I want you to go over to her. just touch her gently on the cheek and say to her, Esther, are you happy?'''
 Oh. pshaw,' said Warfield. They won't take pathos from me-
 Try it. said Belasco, as a favor to me. Just go up on the stage there like a good boy and try 1t once. If you don't feel it the moment you do, I'll cut it out, but please try 1t just once as a favor. He tried it. A moment later Warfeld, raising his hand to shield his eyes from

The First Sleeping Car.

From Outing.
 The first real sleeping car was built in 1864. It was called the Pioneer and the builder further designated it by the let ter IA not dreaming that he would soon exhaust the letters of the alphabet. The Pioneer was built in 6 Chicago and Alton shop and cost the almost fabulous sum of S1S,000. That was reckless extravax agence in year when the best of railroad coaches could be built at cost not ex- ceeding s4500
 But the Pioneer was blazing a new path in luxury. Without it was radiant in paint and varnish, in gay stripes and lettering; 1t was a giant compared with
