Tires With a Grip of Steel.

Leo Hill of this city has taken the
agency for the Lancaster Wiregrip
tire. The Wiregrips have a thousand
claws to hold you safe and sound, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hill. Four endless
coils of triangular spring steel laid
parallel around the entire circumfer-
ence of the tire are imbedded in the
thick live rubber tread.
Mr.. Hill says that after few miles
of wear these coils develop into in
Vulnerable fine steel points which
project and grip the road with vise-
like tenacity. They are absolutely
the most positive non-skid feature by
all odds to be found in any automo-
bile tire. Some of the finer points of
Wiregrip tires as outlined by Mr.. Hill
are as follows:
These gripping claws are mileage
insurance.
They make the Wiregrips as near
ly puncture-proof as a tire can be.
Seldom, If ever, does anything pene-
trate the fine network of steel.
Only live Para rubber will hold the
wire. Nothing less will do. And it
Is backed by many layers Of closely
woven Sea Island fabric-the hard
lest and flost durable material that
can be bought.
| Reinforced by wire and strength
ened by the extra heavy fabric the
side walls are unusually tough and
durable as they must be to take the
extra strains that come when Wire
grips hold where other tires would
road-slip.
So the Wiregrip is 5000 mile
tire. Most Wiregrips are good for
much more. Even 10000 miles is
not the limit.
Naturally the Wiregrip costs lit
tie more at first than an ordinary
tire. But the extra miles given in
service, the extra side-wall strength,
its practically puncture-proof con-
struction, makes 1t mighty inexpen-
sive in the end
For the car you are now driving,
or for your new car, insist upon Wire
grips.

NEW FAIRBANKS PLAY
FULL OF CLEAN COMEDY
Star Goes Adventure Pace in Trian-
gle-Fine Arts "His Picture in
the Papers.

After many amusing mishaps, Pete
Prindle douglas Fairbanks) reach
es his ambition and wins the girl of
his choice in the comedy drama His
Picture in the Papers" This Fine
Arts-Triangie production will be
shown at the Star theatre next Sun
day and Monday.
Pete is the son of Proteus Prindle,
manufacturer of Prindle's Twenty
seven Varieties. After a vegetarian
banquet, Pete sneaks out to shop
house, where he is amazed to find
Christine Cadwalader, daughter of
christopher Cadwalader. Christine
has been brought up on Prindle pro-
ducts, but she like Pete is not satis-
fed with vegetarian fare. 1t Is case
of love at first sight, for they both
find that they are one in loving big
Juicy steak. But Christopher is
traffic manager of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and he objects to Pete's
suit, unless that individual can be-
come a partner in his fathers firm.
That looks easy to Pete and he rush
es off to ask his father for the posi-
tion. The elder Pringle happens to
be peeved at his son because the
youth has neglected to complete the
payroll on time. He contrasts the
conduct of his two daughters, Pansy
and PEARL known as "2S" and "29."
They have page article on the Prin-
gle products in the Vegetarian Ca
zette.
Pete SCOTS at the effort and says
that he could get his picture on the
front page of the New York papers If
he tried. The father hands him 500
and tells him not to come back until
he has done so. On the following
morning Pete wakes up in cheap
lodging house, where he has gone to
conserve his slender resources. He
sees a picture Of the victim of an
auto accident spread over the front
page of a paper. 1t gives him an
idea. He buys a second hand ma
chine for $500 and runs it over a
cliff. Then he goes below and slows
himself in the wreckage. Though
he is taken to the hospital, all the
notice he gets Is line in an obscure
corner of the paper.
His next venture leads him to fight
with the champion middleweight al
the Sharkey Athletic club at Bridge
port. Just at the hour of victory the
police arrive and smash tine cameras
showing Pete as the winner.
Discouraged by this setback, Pete
bororws a dollar from friend tc
consult with fortune teller, Vera
Clews. Pete drinks until he is almost
unconscious, but his friend ships hin
off on a steamer for Vera Cruz by

THE first decade Of Alexanders reign Is
commonly known in Russia as the epocn OIL
a violent reaction against the political and
intellectual stagnation of the preceding pc
Rod. The repressive system OF Nichoias, IN
which all otter public interests were sacrl-
feed to that of making Russia great mill
tary power, the guardian of order IN europe
and the predominant factor in the eastern
question had been tried and found wanting.
Ending in a military disaster ana diplomatic
humiliation, it had failed to attain even me
narrow object for which it had been created
This was clearly perceived and keenly felt
by the educated classes and as soon as the
strong hand of the uncomprom1sing autocrat
was withdrawn they clamored loudly for

tons which made the western nations supe-
ror to her not only in the arts of peace. but
even in the art of war; only by initiating
her rivals could she hope to oVertake and
surpass them in the race of progress On
that subject there was wonderful unanimity,
and the few persons who could not join in
the chorus had the prudence to remain silent.
For the first time in the history of Russia
public opinion in the modern sense became
a power in the state and influenced strongly
the policy of the government.
Though the young emperor was OF too
phIegnatic a temperament to be carried
away by the prevailing excitement and of
too practical a turn of mind to adopt whole
sale and doctrinaire theories of his self
constituted irresponsible advisers. he recog-
nized that great administrative and eco
nomic changes were required, and after
short period of hesitation he entered
series of drastic reforms of which the most
important were the emancipation of the serfs.
the thorough reorganization of the judicial
administration and the development of local
self. .rnment.
All these undertakings. in which the
humane iiberal-minded autocrat received the
sympathy. support and cooperation of the
more emil ghtened of his subjects, were sue
cessfully accomplished. The serfs were lib
Grated entirely from the arbitrary rule of the
landowners and became proprietors of the
communal land; the old tribunals which
could be justly described as dens of iniquty
and incompetence were replaced by civil
and criminal law courts of the French type
in which justice dispensed by trained
iurists, according to codf1ed legislation and
from which the traditional bribery and cor

Secret Police

"a secret police. armed with inquisitorial
and arbitrary powers, has always existed in
autocratic Russia. Its most famous develop
ment was the so called Third Section (of the
imperial chancery) instituted by the emperor
Nicholas / in 1926. This entirely indie
pendent of the ordinary police, but was
ISOLATED with the previously existing corps
of gendarmes tKorpus Zhandarmov), whose
chief was placed at its head. Its object had
originally been to keep the emperor in close
touch with all branches of the administration
and to bring to his notice any abuses and ir-

with the sovereign Actually. however, its
activity. directed mainly to the discovery of
political offences, 1esenerated into a hideous
reign Of terror. Its organization was spread
all Russia; its procedure was secret and
summary transportation by administrative
order): and. its instruments being for the
most part ignorant and largely corrupt, its
victims were counted by the thousands
The Third Section was suppressed by
Alexander II in 1880, but only in name. In
fact. il transformed into a separate de-
partment of the ministry of the interior. and
provided with enormous secret service

The corps of gendarmes was also incorpo-
rated in this department the under secretary
