Buick Truck Goes
Up Steepest Grade
in San Francisco

Duncan street which suddenly broke
into fame because the motor world dis
covered It was the steepest graded hill
in San Francisco and Immediately set
about TO master Il by driving cars over
the top, was again the scene for another
siege Saturday by hundreds OF automo-
bile enthusiasts and before the sun had
set several more makes OF cars showed
the power and fiexibility OF their motors
by crossing the crest OF this 80 per cent
incline
When Joe Sohmedll. who successfully
drove the Buick little six up the hill last
Tuesday. started up the grade with a
Buick l,bo0-pound truck. there were many
misgivings 20 whether he would succeed
and grave fears were expressed for the
welfare OF his load OF five passengers.
On the first two attempts the truck
halted within a few feet from the top
and ala back the grade, but ON the next
trial the power-wagon negotiated Il with
out the slightest effort and afterward
made several more trips Up the incline
as though It was nm ordinary grade.
After the first two trials Schmedli
seemed to know Just how much fuel 10
feed the motor and II responded per-
fectiy 20 its task. Following his ascent
In the truck schmedn again drove the
Buick little six up the grade and slipped
over the top with the same ease that
characterized hts demonstration on Tues
day.

The c. w. Francis Automobile company
OF this city has recently closed n contract
to act as distributors for this territory
for the new Detroiter six" and demon
strators have recently reached Omaha
They can now be seen at the Francis

Judging from the tremendous sales Of
these skies" throughout the country Il
is expected that the Omaha and sur
rounding public will soon be following
the same trend as the rest of the country.
The skies are commencing TO take their
rightful place as leaders in the automo-
bile field. and II Is rather noteworthy
that tho new Detroter six-forty-fiye has
proven one OF the sensations and sur
prises OF the 1916 season. This new crea-
tion was brought out for the first time

The new Detroiter Motor Car company
was organized last July and continued
service and output or Detroiter cars
without interruption, but they decided
that It was necessary to bring out a
model which would be n radical depart
ure from anything which the previous
company had heretofore shown.

 This is only one of the many thrills that are shown in the most startling serial story of the year. The plot deals all the way through with the intrigue
 and schemes of foreign agents to ob- I tain the specifications of secret pro- cess for obtaining air from the sea water to supply the interior of subma- | rines, making them both safer and more deadly. The United States wants 1 the secret and is willing to pay for it. 1 but while the agent and the inventor 1 are making the final arrangements the 1 inventor is killed. Then the spies ! shortly after get complete track of the 1 secret and the book .,yltaining it and i are after it. Hence the race, the jump, 1 but only to encounter further obsta- i cles.

Il. B. Warner at Arizona

Charles Swickard, who, under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince, direct ed the production of The Beggar of Cawnpore,' the Triangle feature in which H. E. Warner is starred, was the victim of practical joke while the pie ture was in the making.
 Among the properties used in the production was a hasheesh pipe, which Swickard had obtained in India some years ago as a souvenir. He loaned it to Warner and the latter used it in a number of scenes in which he is de- picted as the victim of an East Indian drug habit. In the big scene of the production, Warner renounces the habit, realizing that there is still a spark of manhood left in him. While the scene was being made, Swickard was astonished to see the star dash the pipe to the ground and smash it to bits
 "That1l cost you $100, said Swickard to Warner You can't get a pipe like that in this country. I didn't tell you to break it"
 T know the script didn't tell me to smash it,' replied Warner. Tt was just little business I thought of my self. In fact I had planned to do il ever since I read the script. You see how well I had planned it, because the pipe l broke was only an imitation 1 which l had cast in the modelling de- partment Your old pipe is safe in the property room"

Naked Hearts at the Columbia"
 If you remember how grandma sang Come in to the Garden, Maud,p you are going to like the picture Naked Hearts" so well at the Columbia that you are going to give it special place in your list of the pictures that remain. It is Tennyson's Maud" First, there are youngsters, Maud and Edwin and Little Robert in their quaint clothes of that period and their still more quaint mannersms and costumes. How pret- ty Zoe Bech and her childish compan- ions were ever taught to produce the graceful and old fashioned courtesies is beyond the say of the layman.
 Naked Hearts" won't take you off the chair with excitement. No yam- pire will twine some fool man around her snaky fingers, and no cowboy will throw his foam covered steed on it's launches and wing an escaping bandit, but if you know the unrequited love of the man who lost Maud when she believed him dead and took the veil, you are going to sit through this pie ture and vote it a sparkling story well told and superbly acted. The fidelity to detail, the wonderful bits of old fashioned custom are so appealing in their quaintness that you are going to do just what half the big audience at the matinee did yesterday-shed sur reptitiously a few tears. Naked Hearts is a relief from the common or garden variety of movie play and it is so good that even the blase fan will vote it a masterpiece.

 Patrons of the Lamara theater will be treated again today to the most startlingly original five reel motion picture ever shown in this city when "The Closed Road" is shown. House Peters and Barbara Tennant play the leading roles, and the picture was di rected by that peer of European direc- tors, Maurice Tourneur, who is re- sponsible for such big World produc- tions as "Trilby" and Sealed Lips ''The Closed Road" is a typical New York story with Grants Tomb, Bellevue l hospital, Sing Sing, and the New York death house, containing the elec- tric chair, used in giving that touch Of realism and atmosphere so prominent in all Maurice Tourneur productions.

No western play that has been of fered in pictures has attracted as much attention from those who know what a western play should be as ''The Knight of the Range" which is to be screened today at the Amuzu. This story of a dashing knight of the saddle was one of the first pictures to be shown at the Columbia and was the biggest kind of a hit. If you did not get to see it at the Columbia the chance will be afforded at the Washington street house. The riding of the greatest band of cowboys in America alone is worth the price of

Series of Fortified Towns

With the exception of Obregon and Gavira, every commander in this north Mexican army has had mili- tary training outside Mexico, and all have served through the revolutions of the last half decade. Most of them have had much more actual war ex- | perience than any of the American officers who will lead troops against them.
 In addition, Mexico is protected on the north by series of fortified towns, extending in a line across the continent and reaching southward in rude, triangular shape to Mexico City, which, owing to the very na- 1 ture of it's location, in a valley ir the mountains, is impossible of more than local Qualifications and extreme ly difficult of defense, as Genera Santa Ana's men learned to their cos in 1S47.

 But whatever may be the outcome of the schemes of Carranza and the politicians behind him, it is certain that he has done everything possible with the resources at his command to prepare Mexico for war with the United States. During the last year in Mexico City, I have had particu- larly good opportunities to observe the workings of the project for Car ranza looked forward to conflict with the northern republic long before he was recognized, even before he and Francisco Villa severed relations.

According to Her Faith.
By ELLIS MEREDITH.

Not long since woman walked into
the office of the Federated Charities OF
the city Of Denver. She was accompan-
led by five children, all under II years
Of age. They were all poorly and insult
hciently clad, and the woman had the
look OF one who has been battered and
bruised in the battle of life, battered
and bruised, but not defeated. There
was something about her that arrested
the attention of the secretary, and made
her feel that here was something diff
ferent," accustomed as she is to all
sorts and conditions Of misery.
The woman told her story quite frankly
and simply. She had come from q
Southern State-no matter which one-a
few weeks before. She had used prac-
tically all the money she had In reach
ing the Queen City Of the Plains, and
the unaccustomed cold was hard for the
children. She shivered in her calico
dress. but made no complaint She had
found a little place to live at a nominal
rent. but there would have to be coal
and groceries and a little temporary help
for another baby was coming soon. She
explained that she was willing to work,
and the oldest boy was a handy little
fellow, and II she could be assisted
through the present emergency she felt
certain she would be able to get along
afterward.
The Secretary listened patiently.
howbeit more than dubiously, with the
five pairs of hungry eyes fastened upon
her with full confidence in her as a
source of supplies. Then she explained
the necessary rules governing organ
lied charities. and reminded the wom-
an that she was entitled to aid in her
own State, but not in another until
she had established her residence there,
and 1t takes year in Colorado, and
concluded by telling her that IL she,
or her children. were to become public
charges they would be sent back to
the state they came from.

tary. trying to be kind. We have to
