LIGHT CARS TO SOLVE
THE GASOLINE PROBLEM

The gasoline problem which has been
growing steadily more acute for sew
erai years and which has been attacked
by scores of scientists in an effort TO
increase the production. may be solved
hy the trend of the public toward light
err weight and more economical cars.
according to George S. Waite. general
sales manager of the Grant Motor Car
corporation Of Cleveland
1T is apparent that the present sup
ply of gasoline and oil would take care
of twice as many cars as 1t now does.
If each car used only half as much.
Therefore the decided trend of the
public toward light weight. economical
cars has the same effect on gasoline
prices and on the available supply as
would be obtained by very much in
creased production
The reports of Grant Six dealers in
dictate a decided tendency on the part
of owners of large cars to supplement
them with cars like our own. 1t is sur
prising also how many farmers or re-
tired farmers own two ,ars. one for
state purposes and another for
chores, as they say. The same is true
in the cities.
THE light weight economical six is
just coming into its own in another
field. that of business use. The next
year or two will see thousands of
Grants and similar ears used by sales
men and other business and profess
sional men. OF course. economy is
big reason for this, but business men
are demanding also a car that is dig
nified as wen as merely economical"

square, on Forty-ffth Street, between
Fifth and Sixth Avenues, for $4,000

pivot on which New York life revolved
In front of "this massive structure,

In an article, Writing Stories for

them. He should be able to enter INTO

should learn to look upon life as they

"The Custom House." Alger writes,
''is in the form of a parallelogram 200

in height, the ascent to the entrance
being by eighteen granite steps. The
boys entered and made their way to the

NIFTY years ago Horatio Alger, Jr.,
L published his first story Of New
York urchin. A Harvard graduate OF
the class of 1852, and later ordained as
Unitarian minister, he came to the
city in 1866 for the purpose of studying
the life of it's street gamins.
As a result of his research Ragged
Dick" was published the following year
as a serial in a magazine called Student
and Schoolmate." The bootblack hero
was new type and the warm reception
he received prompted A. X. Lorlng, OF
Boston, to issue the story in book form
and to order five more volumes OF the
same general character. Almost I'M
mediately Alger became the most popu-
lar author of books for youngsters
Working with feverish haste, ne
brought out the volumes OF the
Ragged Dick" series in rapid success
sion and followed with the equally pop
ular "Tattered Tom" group. Hundreds
of thousands of copies of these books
were sold, at least third of which found
their way into circulating libraries, par
ticularly into Sunday school libraries
Ragged Dick" was hailed as an "undy-
ing book"

Fifth Avenue, as most of my read
ers know" he writes in Ragged Dick,
is the finest street in the city, being
lined with splendid private residences,
occupied by the Weather classes. Many
of the cross streets also boast houses
which may be considered palaces, SO
elegant are they externally and inter

Where Are the Ballads of
Old Park Row?

Not so different from the Park Row
of our own day, though the sellers OF
penny ballads have vanished with the
high iron ratings which surrounded the
park, IAN Enclosure of ten acres, IN
Ayers words, which years ago was
covered with a greensward, but now is
a great thoroughfare for pedestrians
and contains several important public
buildings" In the park were the City
Hall. the Hall of Records and the Ro-
tunda. ''The former is a white build
ing of large size and is surmounted by
a cupola." runs the authors Baedeker-
like comment.
The old Postofice, replaced by the one
row in use, was "a brick building, on
Nassau Street, and was formerly
church. It is a shabby brick building
and quite unworthy of so large and i'm
portant city," Alger says in criticism.
Perhaps no one has a keener insight
into the personality of the city than the
boys whose daily occupation keeps them
in the New York streets. They arc
alert, ready to receive impressions ard
quick to form judgments which are
generally correct. Alger realized this,

"He crossed the foot of the park and

he saw street merchants. Most con-

fortunate than himself. In outward

who. in spite of their rags, are attrac-

as Dick was a success from the first, he
did not bother to change the formula.
In Reality Ayers Stories Were
New York GuidebOOkS
Looking back over the happy hours
spent with Ayers boys, their advent
ures do not seem as striking as the
reality with which their creator painted
the New York of the late fifties in
which they lived Faithfully ne de-
scribes the city as it was then, going
into details of architecture long since
destroyed, locations remembered only
nv few. and customs obsolete for forty
years, with all the elaborate care of
guidebook. If for no other reason, Ho-
ratio Alger, jr., should find his niche in
American literature because he has pre-
served the New York of their fathers
for the youths of the present day.
ut may be explained for the benefit
of readers who have never visited New
York" Alger remarks as he lays the
geographic plans for his later books in
Ragged Dicks" opening pages, that
about a mile from City Hall the cross
streets begin to be numbered in regular
order. There is continuous line OF
houses as far as 130th Street, where
NAV be found the terminus of the Har-
lem line of horsecars. When the entire
island is laid out and settled, probably
the numbers will reach two hundred or
more. Central Park, which lies be-
tween Fifty-ninth Street on the south
and 10th Street on the north, is true to
its name, occupying about the centre OF
the island. The distance between two
parallel streets is called block, ard
twenty blocks make mile"
