JANE TYRRELL. POPLAR HEADING WOMAN POLL PLAYERS


 The cordial greeting extended the Poli Players in their first weeks engagement of the season has been a source of great pleasure and has established them firmly here in Bridgeport. At each performance of Arizona the old faVorites of the company, John E. Ince, Joseph Egg genton and Arthur Buchanan received great applause on their entrances and the newcomers, especially Miss Tyr rell, the beautiful leading woman, Charles Schof1eld, Isadore Martin and John Junior soon installed them selves in firm favor with the Poli clientele. The stage settings and ac- cessories reflected credit on Stage Director Socola and Scenic Artist Carns and altogether the opening was highly successful. For the coming week Manager Poli has selected for presentation that gripping natural play of American political life. "The Man of the Hour,' play which was a reigning sensation for months after it was first produced and which will be shown for the first time in stock at Poli's the coming week. In George Broadhurst's famous American drama depicting the working of political life, it's intrigues, it's machinery. it's bribery with spoliation for the politi- cal losses, we find a lesson calculated to instill in the heart of every Ameri- can citizen that strong desire for fair play and honesty both for municipal and national government.
 In this instance, and 1t applies to every large city in the United States, the machine is being run by one Horigan, (Mr. Philips) bull dog ferocious politician whose policy is identical with Richard Croker, late of New York. Tn his endeavor to con- trol the entire community he has overstepped the bounds, and circum- vented by Alderman Phelan of the Eight ward, (Mr. Schofield) Horigan has recourse to capital, seeking aid from Wainwright (Mr. Kirk).

 There are many little ways in which a girl may make herself a perfect guest if she once realizes that the art of being a guest is one we'll worth studying. It is not an easy matter to be a good hostess, and ite is far more difficult to be a good guest.

guard the fabric against chance of
rotting. What applies to cracks also
applies to pieces of the tread that
are clipped out by sharp stones or
other objects.
A tire can be saved a great deal
by the driver when on the road On
every country road in America are
many shap stones either loose or fix
ed in the roadbed. Vigilance on the
part of the driver will save the tire
from all of these. Frequently on "a
new road will be stretches covered
with loose cracked stone, which are
most treacherous. In driving over
such places it is always best to shut
off the power entirely when passing
over them, providing the stretch is
short enough so the car will coast
clear over it. In this way the rear
tires roll over the stones the same
roads that they have had to be sent
to the factory to be repaired.
Good Suggestions
Many drivers fail to realize that the
rear tires are subject to much great
er wear than the front ones and so
will wear out much sooner. Because
Of this it is always good sense to
change the rear tires to the front
after they have been on long enough
to show considerable wear, because in
this way the entire set of four will
last much longer. This is one of the
great reasons for using the same size
Of tires on the front wheels as on the
rear ones. In addition to this it is
good policy to interchange the right
i:nd left rear tires. With the major
ity of roads crowned little the tire
wears on the inner side of the tread
more than on the outer side, and if
the tire on the right wheel is not
changed with that on the left the
tread will wear through on one side
and be fairly thick on the other side.
BY making the change the whole
available tread is being utilized and
the mileage correspondingly increas-
ed.
Keeping the car weight off the tires
when the car is standing In the gar
age reduces the tire upkeep for the
year Manufacturers of jacks have
realized this and are now marketing
simplified jacks designed to be put
under the wheel hubs so that with
one movement of the jack handle the
car is elevated enough to take the
weight off the tires A set of four
of these jacks can be secured at
nominal sum and the value of them
can scarcely be estimated.
There are many other ways in which
the upkeep may be reduced without
much trouble to the car owner. The
use of small vulcanizer Is one Of
these. With the vulcanizer it is pos
sible to repair "a, bad cut which could
not be properly handled with sur
face filling compound The vulcaniz-
er also helps in keeping inner tubes
in repair and is most valuable as
set to the car owner who desires to
reduce his tire bills.-Motor Age.
