Public Buildings and Grounds event
uaIly show that Gardener ~ took the
afternoon OF today the accountants
can blame 1t on the Sylvan Theater
sunrise dancing class in rhythm.
Gardener ~ IS an old hand on the
Monument Lot but he almost col
lapsed when the S. T. S. D. class issued
forth from its dressing room just
west Of the old Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing building about break
fast time and invaded the path he
was mending.
The class was bound for the Sylvan
Theater, the somewhat DruIdical re-
treat that Col W. W. Harris, superin-
tendent of buildings and grounds,
provided for lovers OF true Dramatic
and terpsichorean art.
Chiffon and Smiles.
Marshsled by Miss Charlotte Ho-
gan, the class tripped along the stony
roadway to the grassy Monument Lot,
all neat but not gaudy in chiffon and
sweet, sweet smiles
Before the class assembled for the
mornings "up-and-down-and-sk
simple man in overalls, who was ut
terly without opinion on the subject
of rhythmic dancing, bore to the
sylvan theater grove the following
articles:
Four great rugs
One music box, with a needle that
had to be sharpened on a stone.
One bucket Of ice water.
One package OF music records.
He took a long drink from the ice
water bucket, glared over the dipper
at The Times rhythm reporter and
announced that the girls were "all
set"
Blase Reporter Annoyed
Then ne went away, and the girls
came from their dressing rooms. The
rhythm reporter, by long experience,
had learned 10 AFFECT extreme annoy
ance with dancing classes. That kept
the girls from being self-conscious.
Pretty soon several harried pho
tographers appeared, and the girls
began movement A. which consists OF

lated to emulate a pink zephyr breast

and II you go fussing around the
''No Trespassing" sign, trying to
watch Miss Hogan's dancers in action,
you're liable to get pinched. Most
certainly, you'll get shooed away.
That's why you'll have to take the
rhythm reporters word for the pro-
gram Of the S. T. S. d. C., unless you
want to interview Gardener. AZ, who
was in no mood to be interviewed up
to noon today.
Seriously, though.,the Sylvan Thea

of future Ruth St. Denises, who
think the dew on the morning grass
Is the best thing in the world for the
classic dancing art.
Girls Of younger Set"
Miss Hogan is the chief sunriser,
and nearly all the girls are members
OF the city's younger set"
They obtained the consent of
Colonel Harris to have their morning
dancing classes on the stage of the
Sylvan Theater, and the gardeners
under his charge lend the girls aid
and comfort
The girls devote many hours each
week to their work, in addition to
time spent on the grassy slopes OF
the Sylvan Theater. The study OF
rhythm as a factor in health and life
Is as much a part OF their work a.

The extra features and the extra beauty are the

But the greatest In The long run. Is our 100 Per

vital part now has twice the needed strength.
Over 40 parts are built Of toughened steel An
safety parts are oversize. We use wealth Of

Several Mitchels we know Of have already run
2oo, 1000 miles each Intwo years not one Bate cand-

shock absorbers or other accessories are unneces-

Matters of
Motorism

lnasmuch as motor-driven vehicles
are fast gaining the better of horse
drawn c~ontrivances, and most folk.
either have a car, a truck or a trac
tor, or intend to have one soon, here
are a few items for automobilists
from which it is hoped the readers
will get some good:
Old Motor Cars Can be Used to Pull
Big Loads
Conservation of resources is a sub
ject taking precedence over all
others in the minds of thinking
Americans today.
What can be accomplished within
a few months time, at small ex-
pense, no hardship to any mi a
profit to all and with the food situa-
ton greatly relieved-seems almost
unbelievable. But this possibility
had only to be suggested to n live
automobile dealer to have it put in
to practice the same day.
There are scattered over this coun-
try hundreds of thousands of old
touring cars perfectly fit to be trans
formed into tractors to draw the
heavy wagons now being drawn by
horses. These horses, put to work
on the acres of idle farming land
thruout the country, could greatly
increase our food producing power.
incidentally, they could be earn
ing some of their W board and
keep" Most horses eat three times
a day. With oats at 50 a bag and
hay at $25 a ton, a horse is an x
pensive luxury for city hauling in
these days.
It takes an average of five acres
of ground to feed a horse. This
same ground planted to food for man
would produce enough to sustain ten
a year.
Statistics as to the number Of
horses that could be released from
city service by the adoption of this
method of highway hauling are not
available, but it does not take a very
vivid imagination to e that we
could feed all the allies in Europe
and make money besides, by putting
at work the secondhand car now

The light %runabouts can easily
handle a ton, about one-third resting
over the rear axle and the other two
thirds being drawn behind in the
while the heavier cars could

WHITE Il WEDDING

A very quiet but pretty wedding
was solemnized, Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, when Miss Lenoir White
ad Mr.. Edwin Green were united in
marriage by the Rev. S. J. CLANCY,
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. I. H. White. The brides
gown was of blue taffeta and she
carried a bouquet of roses; her
travelling suit was dark blue. Mr..
and Mrs. Green left on the morning
train for Salt Lake. They will be
at home to their many friends here

Helps for Excessive Tire Wear

Excessive wear to the tread of
tire is usually attributed to fault in
alignment Of wheels and the real
cause is not, therefore always dis.
covered by the mechanic. Robert
r. Slocum, factory representative for
the Firestone company gives the fol-
lowing rules for aligning the wheels:
Stand the car in line. Measure front
wheels directly in front of axle. by
drawing steel tape measure from the
inside of felloe on n wheel to the
inside of felloe on opposite wheel.
Move the wheels one-third or one
fourth turn and repeat the measure
ment. The same method of measur
ing real wheels will answer the pur-
pose, except that the measurements
can be more conveniently taken d.
rectly back Of the axle. If three or
four measurements do not show a
variation of more thOn %one-fOurth
inch, the wheels are in good align
ment If the wheels stand too far
outward at the top, there is apt to be
some binding effect at the axles-
under this condition the tires do not
roll freely, the strains to fabric are
not equally distributed and the rub
Der on the outer side wall is more
exposed to rut wear. Do not be con-
fused when taking measurements, If
it is found that the front wheels are
from one-fourth inch to One-half
inch wider than rear wheels-this
has no real bearing on the alignment.
Excessive wear to a tire tread does
not necessarily indicate irregular
alignment of wheel. 1t may often
be traced to a loose or worn hub
disk, a bent axle, steering rod or
knuckle, OF connecting rod either too
long or too short, Other causes are
loose bearings and the tight adjust
ment Of one or both brake drums.
If clamping brackets of demountable
rims are not frightened evenly, the
may wabble and cause the
to travel at an angle.
If in doubt as to the true run
ming of wheels, observe car from
front and rear when driven In al
straight course for some distance,
at a speed of Is to 20 miles an hour.
