VEHICLE IN DENVER

Efforts 10 open a jitne bus service in

grant any permits The city council also
has passed a bill requiring persons
wishing 10 operate any service of this

total of about $50 motor ears over So

AUTO GRIPPLES
THE RAILROADS
Motor Car Travel, Says Rail
road Man, Cuts Down
Train Earnings.

Denver. Colo, March 13.-The auto
mobile as a competitor with the rail-
roads and as the cause Of a consider
able reduction in the local passenger
business all through Colorado was
cited by r. S. Ruble, assistant gen
eral passenger agent Of the Union Pa
ciflc system, in evidence at the pas
senEer rates hearing before the state
public utilities commission, as facts
adverse 10 any rule the commission
might contemplate, having in view the
reduction OF passenger rates in this
state.
During the last two years said Mr..
Isuble. there has been a considerable
shrin kaye in the passenger business
throughout Colorado I attribute some
of this to lack Of great prosperity
attribute some Of il to a reluctance on
the part of the people TO spend money
IN travelling until they feel more GER
tain about commercial conditions. But
] attribute most Of it to the part the
automobile is now playing in the pas
senger business Of all the western
states
Three years ago" said Nj Ruble,
we did big business between sta
lions from here TO Cheyenne and from
Denver TO Fort Collins and across to
Greeley and back to Denver Travel
Ing men used that route often. And
they used IL in large numbers Our
business Of that kind was considerable.
Between many local points we ran

But the automobile has cut into all
that and it has cut into IL largely.
Passenger business Shows Losses.
Il have here" said Mr. Ruble. read
ing them off one by one, the names Of
more than 20 stations where during
the last two years, she receipts from

$1,000 a month, and I think that that

HOW | GET 4
MOTOR To SPEED
Joe Nikrent Tells the Meth
DDS of Making a Racer
From 2, Stock Car.

The question that I have been
asked the most in my experience as a
race driver is, How do you set the
speedT said Joe Nikreut, well known
always been that there is no magic
that enters into the construction OF
the modern speed creation, but a
ceaseless attention to details
Few people realize the terrific
strain that a motor is subject 10 traN-
cling at say 80 miles an hour Be
cause Of this strain, it is necessary TO
have all Of the rcciprocaJlng parts or
the motor working in perfect unison
To accomplish this, all parts must be
balanced TO a hair, and neglect in this
particular has lost many a race.
The size and position of the valves
play an important part IN the driver
choice of mount The success Of the
alve-in-the-head type Of motor pro-
dUced by foreign designers in Amer
lean races has caused American de
signers TO produce racing cars with
the same type Of motor in the attempt
to wrest the laurels from their for
eign cousins, won at the last Indian
apOlis race.
People who have the impression
that the holes drilled in the frames OF
racing cars are for ornamental pur-
passes are mistaken. These holes are
the result Of the endeavor TO reduce
the weight Of the car to a minimum.
Each ounce taken off the weight
means another fraction Of a second
more speed. and the ability TO reduce
weight without sacrificing strength
has won many a race, especially where
fractions of a second play such an
important part in the racing prOfes-
sion of today
The finished racing car is q marvel
Of mechanical and engineering genius
The slightest push viii roll il along
the ground, and the driver can only
hope when he lines up for the starting
lag, that his months of preparation
have left no small task that might |
mean the loss of the race Undone.7

SLEEPS IN CAR;
SAVES ROOM RENT
San Franciscan Makes Bed
in His Car; Many Others
Do the Same Thing.

Take up yoUr bed and walk" is an
old adage which viii have to be recast
TO fit modern times. 1t should read
now, Take up your bed and ride or,
at least, that is the opinion Of =. II.
Valentine, of san Francisco. who has
solved the high cost of hotel accom-
modauons problem by making car do
duty as Pullman palace sleeper.
Valentine, who recently bought a car,
was so impressed with the window dis
play that q motor company had made
in which car was shown with its
front seat removed and a bed made up
in the tonneau, that he determined to
carry out this idea and save room
rent.
Driving his car all day, Valentine at
night goes TO the garage. puts UP his
car, and, by simply releasing a couple
of bolts, removes the front seat Of
comfortable bed in o few moments,
with the result that for s. a month,
which he pays for garaging his car,
ne has IN addition all the private con-
Ycnience Of a comfortable room.
This is not a new idea. and there
are many people who have fixed up
their cars so they can make down i'm
prOvlsed beds while on camping or
touring trips Norman +. Feazey, OF
The Herald, has had the back Of the
front seat Of his Ford cut so that it
can be thrown back on hinges, and
thus, IN conjunction with the rear seat
afford him a bed.
Many people in touring are getting
to prefer the comfortable cushions Of
their cars TO the questionable con-
Veniences the small town hotel offers
TO parties who are touring for one or
Two days To others making more am
bilious trips, il is assuring TO know
that no matter what befaus them.
they have always the means Of having
a pleasant resting place at night. and
a lew moments work is all that is
necessary to provide it."

Ie Adams in equality street."

Maude Adams In ''QuaIIty Street"
The reception accorded her admirable
revival Of J. NJ Barries delightful ro-
nance of an old maid. Quality Street, B."
at the National Theater last night could
have been only a qualification to Maude
Adams.
She brings TO her Characterization OF
Phoebe Throssell-what a namei-wh0
gave promise of spending her days in
amiable spinsterhOd until the manly Doc
tor Brown entered her life, a wealth OF
grace and individuality. a ripened expert
ence, and her wonderfully expressive
voice. And she was never more charm
ing than last evening.
Miss Adams art has advanced far since
she made her appearance in the part OF
some years back but none OF the many
admirable portraits she has presented to
an admiring publiC-extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific-since she first
essayed the role will be remembered long
er than her warm and human picture Of
the little maiden lady in this charming
play of life in rural England more than
a hundred years ago.
Doctor Brown left for the NapoleOnic
wars almost as soon as he had secured
the heart of Phoebe, and when he re-
turned after nine years he found her
reduced TO teachlng school, due TO having
followed his business advice in investing
her small fortune. However she is all
the world to him and he quite fills the
life of her, and there is the inevitable
ending when fond lovers meet.
Despite the years which have elapsed
since It's first presentation. Quality
Street retains it's original freshness. IL
is a story of simple charm, which ap-
peals to every one. Miss Adams was quite
exuberant Of spirit last evening. and her
enthusiasm communicated itself to her
capable support. Angela Ogden's depiC-
ton of PhOebe's elder sister. Susan, was
exceedingly we'll done, and Lenore Chip
pendale, Byrd Rodgers, Elise Clarens,
and Sarah Converse were quite in the pic
ture at all times as the village gossips.
The Doctor Brown Of Charles Ham
mond would have been more interesting
had he been at all times more sure of his
lines. Morton Selten, Stafford Windsor,
Wallace jackson. ct al, were entirely ade-
duate in the remaining roles
Miss Adams will repeat the perform
ance Of this charming comedy at the
midweek and Saturday matinees. and on
Saturday evening. The balance Of her
short engagement in this city will be de-
voted to Barrie's latest plays, THE
Legend Of Leonora," and THE Ladies'
Shakespeare.

The following incident related by

Rev. Francis F. Higgins, whose death
was announced a few days ago, gained
such influence among the lumber jacks.
Boys" he once said to them. I'll never
forget a porterhOuse steak l saw once:
I'm a big man, you know, and when l
get hungry, I'm hungry. You know
how they fix those windows up: a chunk
of ice and some lettuce and a steak or
two. Well. boys, all at once l got so
hungry that 1 ached. l could hardly
walt to get in there. But | stopped:
Look here, Higgins thought /, what
n YOU didn't have a cent: what II you
were a dead-broke lumber-jack and
hungry like this? Boys, II frightened
me. 1 understood just what those poor
fellows suffer. And I couldn't go in
the restaurant until I had got square
with them. Look here, Higgins 1
thought. the best thing you can do is
to go and find hungry lumoer-jack
somewhere and feed him.. And did,
too; and I tell you, boys, 1 enjoyed my
dinner"
