of dimensions and tolerance for the solid or one-piece rim for pneumatic tires; it was brought about by long cut-and-try method. It will be re- called that in case of so-called de- tachable rims for pneumatic tires there was for years discussion and de- bate by various organizations, me chanical patent, and business points being involved. In the next develop ment of any means for attaching pneumatic tires to motor vehicle wheels-that. is, demountable rims the Society of Automobile Engineers is now working toward bringing about standardization of the essential di- mansions in this connection).
 Probably the majority of tire valve Arrangements are due to the rubber washer in the screw cap of the valve itself. The large tl1imble which en- velopes the whole valve is not meant but the little cap which must be screwed off before the pump can be applied to the valve. What occurs is this: When the valve cap is screwed home the rubber plug squeezes out of shape, and is more or less cut by the sharp edges of the valve, so that very small pieces of rubber are ground off These get into the valve, and before very long it commences to leak, when the only remedy is to let the air out of the tire, take out the valve stem, remove the particles of rubber which have gotten into the valve, replace. and reinflate-a laborious operation which no one willingly undertakes To get rid of all this trouble it is only necessary to cut small hard leather discs which will just fit into the valve cap. The leather will not be cut by the screwing up of the valve cap, nor will it push into the valve as the rub Der plug does. It is not necessary or desirable to remove the rubber plug in the valve cup, but merely to put the leather one on the top of it. The rubber gives a certain spring be- hind the leather, and is, therefore, beneficial

MAKE YOUR OWN HATS
 AT THE Y. W. Q. A.

Is there woman who does not sigh over her millinery bills, There is really no need of such distress, for the Young Women's Christian Asso- citation offers remedy through it's practical course in millinery. A 1it- tie knowledge in domestic arts saves money and enables a woman to pre- sent a smart appearance at a mini- mum expenditure.
 For several years this course in millinery has been a popular one, and the results have delighted the students and amazed the public. The instruc- tor, Miss Mary Heating, is practical miiliner, possessing accurate knowl- edge of the business as well as a nat ural gift for trimming and artistic effects. She has had long experience in teaching in New York city, and has proven herself popular with her Bridgeport classes. The students are taught to cut. shape and make the hat foundation, then to pad, cover and make the shape, to sew facings, make bandeaus and last of all to trim, fash ion flowers and make bows.
 Two complete hats can be made in the course of twenty-four lessons, the class meeting twice each week. Those who desire to consider the class should call at 1OS7 Broad street, the associa- ton Office.

POLI's

None will deny that for the. past three weeks of vaudeville season Man. ager Poli has furnished the best all around bills eyer seen at the local theatre and it goes without saying that the pretentious act of Rock and Fulton has set standard which will stand for months to come The inn portance of the act to vaudeville may be suggested by the fact that for the next two weeks it will headline the bill at Hammersteins Victoria in New York city where they play seventeen acts on the bill For the coming week Manager Poli shows the diver sity of vaudeville by offering, in con- trast to the headline attraction of Rock and Fulton with it's fifteen peo- pie and "a carload of scenery, a little mite of a chap three feet high known as Little Billy, who simply walks out in front of a street drop and enter tains an audience for fifteen minutes with the brightest line of talk, sing ing and Representations and dancing that one would wish to see. Little Billy has been a terrific hit since he made his first appearance at the Fifth avenue in New York some months ago and it seems almost unbelievable. that mere child should have talent if the kind to accord him headline honors. Such is the case however and all who see the act next week will admit he is entitled to top the bill. As a special feature Manager Poli will offer Frankie Carpenter, Jere Grady and company in a great sketch success ."rhe Butterfly which has no dull moments from start to finish and which usually headlines every bill on which it plays.

 Automobile wheels are bigger this year than before, the average size be- ing about 34 inches instead of 32 inches. Larger wheels mean bigger tires. and these in turn mean easier riding, greater freedom from tire trouble and consequent economy.
 There is absolutely no economy in buying tires of small size for a car expected to carry a heavy load. Mo- torists are gradually awakening ito the fact that little extra money spent for larger tires proves a mighty good investment in the long run.
 Experience has taught motorists with 5000 or perhaps 5000 miles of foreign tours to their credit that it is well to consult with the manufactur- CT of the car before undertaking a foreign trip, and to rely on the makers judgment as to the selection of spare parts,

Madame x" the impressive drama of mother-1ove which Henry M.

Women especially are interested in it's wonderfully strik- ing studies of mothers sacrifice for her son, while among men there is a like unusual feeling of interest, since love for ones mother is perhaps the very strongest emotions a man is. cap- able of. In addition such special classes as the lawyers and judges are drawn irresistibly by Madame x" for the play gives a detailed and ab-, solutely accurate view of the peculiar French legal system-a matter that came under the special regard of the legal fraternity during the recent con- troversy over the famous Steinheil trial in Paris.

It is said that Victor Herbert has provided music that is refined. beautiful and shows the freshness of invention liveliness good taste and education of an expert Rida Johnson Young, of Ragged Rob- in" fame, has constructed an inter esting story that is said to be. far ahead of anything she had done be- fore Naughty Marietta is describ- ed as being knee deep in songs, dances girls and plot. which ought to appeal to local theatregoers generally.

THE. BARK
1.-THE FIGHTING. PARsoNr
s,asi.setsas assss ssFisy'


 For number of years there has not been, so it is said, a play. that com pines such a number of successful features as does 'sThe Fighting Par son. which will be seen here for the first time today, matinee and night at the Park theatre. Its author, Lem B. Parker, who has a score of sue cesses to his credit has taken for his central figure a Minister of the Cos pel This, in itself, is not an innoya- tion but as the character is employed in this play, new sides are displayed that combine to make him as heroic and yet as consistent and real as any ever seen on the stage The play which is styled rural comedy drama, is in four acts. three of which take place in the country, and one in New York city. While all the acts are equally strong, the one that has excit- ed most comment is that which has for it's locale, the much written about slum district of the great metropolis. Tn this act, a faithful picture of life on the lower East Side of New York city is shown, and incidentally the fighting parson is called upon to dem onstrate how he had earned his title. While MT. Parker's play is new to the East, it is now in it's fourth successful season in the West. In the interpreta- ton of the various roles, there has been chosen most prominent cast, included in which are Carolyn Friend and Joseph Mann in the leading roles, and Alfred Osborne. Dollie White, John Dunn, Mary MacGregor, Jeanne DArmond among the others.

Pittsburg, Nov. 21.-Just at the close
! of a performance in the Palm Garden
{theater here some irresponsible person
shouted "Firel" Instantly there was
panic among the 300 persons in the
;theater.
Men, women and children rushed pell
imell for the exits, and somebody on the
outside turned in an alarm, which
brought the engines from nearby fire
station gathering down the street.
Strong men threw aside women and
children in their efforts to get from

I the stage and tried to restore order
The doors were promptly thrown open,
and within a minute the audience was
/ in the street, leaving behind half a
dozen children who had been trampled
and crushed by the crowd in its efforts
! to escape. When the flremen arrived
they found no fire, and their only work
was to carry out the little ones and
send them to the South Side and st.

which had been summoned. The police
have no clew to the guilty person.

And when at last they could make

was almost heartless:
