RARE MUSICAL treat
HEARD AT PINNEY

One of the rarest treats OF the sea-
son from a high class literary and
musical standpoint was the appear
ance of the Sheehan English Opera
company at the Pinney theater Satur-
day afternoon and evening. The opera
company consisted of quartet which
sang the leading songs from three of
the good operas, and a musical direc-
tor. The musicians We're actors as
well and appeared in costume with
the accompanying stage settings.
At the piano was Arnold Beaumont,
the musical director, who was assisted
by three local musicians with violin,
flute and drum. In all, the scenery,
the orchestra, the costumes, the dra-
matte effects, one was actually car
ried back to the evenings Of the opera
itself. But, best of all, the voices OF
the quartet, without exception, We're
superb, and one who for some months
had heard only the mediocre could not
but be agreeably held In appreciation,
The selections from the old time
operas of I'll Trovatore" The Be-
hemian Girl and Martha" rang out
clear and without flaw. The tender
places, the tragic moments, the play
full notes, were all touched by voices
SO trained as to be free from harsh
ness, slides and broken tones. The ar
lists were Joseph Sheehan, Nelson r,

AJAX NEWS ITEMS

The United States government is
sometimes slow in making decisions,

his precision and fine judgment. Willie

Interesting News of the Motor World

shocks every minute the car is under
way on the road; they are never at
rest, and the wonder is they stand what
they do. But it is not uncommon for
springs to be in hard service for five
or six years or more, with the hardest
kind of country road work, and still
not give out.
There are all sorts of spring devices
to relieve the main springs Of the small
shocks that are so injurious, including
shock absorbers, straps, snubbers, and
the like. The average motorist knows
that It is the rebound that causes
springs to 60 and so one inventor has
designed a spring that is in reality
double spring, a smaller one being on
the top of the other for the purpose of
eliminating the rebound. There is a
spacer between the two springs, so as
to permit this action up to a certain
point, and beyond this point the top
spring, or rebound, comes into action,
preventing the upward movement of the
car body in nice proportion, the argu-
ment being that if it is good to have a
spring for the downward movement 1t
is quite as essential to have one for
the upward movement.
Improvements constantly are being
made in the construction of motor car
power plants, as we'll as in all other
parts, and the motor has been so great
ly bettered within the last few years
that it is now necessary to build huge
gas eating affairs. Through careful
design and workmanship and with i'm
d.
vices the smaller motors have been
made to produce much more power.
Gradually the old fashioned cast iron
piston ring of one piece is being showed
aside for the more modern idea Of sew
eral smaller rings made to fit into one
ring groove. Four small rings take the
place of one larger one, occupying the
same groove. so that where a motor
ordinarily has four rings, with this new
one 1t would have in reality 16 rings
four in each groove. The rings are
made of spring steel, thus being flex-
ible and springing evenly all around
so that If there is a spot where one OF
the little rings failed to close, the mex
one would perform the duty.
Best Of all, they are so arranged ant
placed that the slots will not come op.

LUBR|CATION IS
VERY IMPORTANT
Constant Improvement Do

Nothing is more essential to the life
and good running qualities Of a motor
car than good lubricating devices, and
Furthermore, when car is we'll lubri-
Gated there is much more comfort to
the occupants and much less liability
of trouble of one sort or another on the
road, writes High" Much has been
said and written about the necessity of
keeping some form of lubricant be-
tween the leaves of the springs in order
TO make the car ride nicely because of
the further ability Of the springs to
have such movement as was designed
for them. The spring bolts frequently
are overlooked in the matter of proper
fabrication; at best a little oil is
squirted on. only to run to the floor or
be smeared on the outside, to pick up
and retain all the dust that comes
along.
There really is no need for using or
binary oil on spring bolts, because 1t
will seldom find its way to the proper
spot and is pretty apt to drip away
without doing much good Heavy
grease works better. lasts longer, and
when forced in through a spring bolt,
tends to drive out the dirt rather than
permit it to find its way to the wear
ing parts.
Not all cars have spring bolts that
are made with a hole to carry the
grease from a grease cup screwed into
the end of the bolt, and where a plain
bolt is used there is nothing to do but
adhere to the old method OF squirting
oil in the spaces that show, and trust to
luck that it will find its way to the
wearing parts. The modern spring
bolt has a hole drilled through the CEN
ter, and in the middle is another hole
drilled to intersect the lengthwise hole.
Then in the nut end of the bolt Is a
combination grease cup which, when
filed with grease and screwed down,
will force the lubricant into the pas
sageways and directly between the bolt
and the spring holes This grease will
work its way around so that every part
is fabricated. There is necessity of
using only little grease now and then,
for the heavy article will not run away
as will oil. The other end of the bolt
is threaded for the nut and hole is
drilled for cotter pin. As a rule
these bolts are accurately ground for a
particular size and are hardened

her note telling her she had saved

Frank labored for years, and during
these years he studied law, while Bill
associated himself with a clique of
rascals that bought and sold votes and
made themselves rich on questionable
contracts.
The two pals did not meet and the
little girl grew to young womanhood.
Frank became the clerk in her fathers
law office. Then he met her. They did
not recognize each other. they never
met before-they thought. 1t was not
long before a strong and vital love was
theirs.
Her father Mr. Stone, was elected
mayor of the city. He was elected by
Bills crowd. Then Bill fell in love with
the mayors daughter. This affection
was not mutual, the girl told Bill that
she did not love him and was not the
least interested in him-wished him
we'll and told him to go. Bill went to
the mayor and demanded that that Of

favor. To do this the mayor refused.
Bill was angry and Immediately be-

Frank, now the mayors secretary. was
no other than his partner in crime and
then he compelled Frank to live in fear
of him.
Then came the frame up" A news
paper owned by Bill came out with
some strong stories accusing the
mayor. Although he was innocent, the
mayor could not, in the face of the
system, prove it, So the girls father

Bill is placed under arrest. He sees his
game is up, then he plays his only card
against Frank, knowing that he can at
