AHS2 AM just now reading an article
w By q Teller which his name !
couldn't remember. but he used
to was base ball writer for the New
York Moon" Abe Potash said as he laid
down one Of the several weeklies that
have the largest circulation in the
United States
'Ts this . time to read about base
ball.'' Morris Perimutter asked.
What do you mean-base ball?" Abe
demanded. II said that the feller used
to was base ball wiser. but he is now
q dramatic cricket"
with me and dramatic crickets,
Abe" Morris said. cit is always show
less Tuesday. which when it comes to
knocking plays, Abe, believe me, I
don't need no assistance from nobody"
WHO said he is knocking plays, Nav
russ" Abe protested This here dra-
matte cricket has just returned from
the western front. and he says that the
way it looks now, the war would last
until"
Excuse me for interrupting you,
Abe" Morris said. "but is there an ar
dele in that paper by a soldier which
used to was a certified public account
ant telling what is going to happen in
the show business. because if SO it
might interest me, y'understand, but
what dramatic cricket who is also an
ex-base ball writer has got to say about
the war. Abe. would only make me mad,
Abe, because there is people writing
about this war which really knows
something about it, whereas as a gen
eral proposition it don't make no diff
ference who writes about the show
business, he usually don't know no
more about it as for example a base
ball writer"
That's where you make big mis-
take, Mawruss," Abe said. IT have
read articles about the war ever since
the war started, and so far as could
see. Mawruss, the feliers which wrote
them might just so well Of stayed at
homo and got their dope from actors
and base ball players. because you take.
for instance, the fellers which has writ
ten about conditions in Russland.
Mawruss. and claims to have their in
formation right on the spot from the
Russian workingmen and soldiers,
y'understand. and from the way them
fellers is all the time springing Nitchy-
vo! and Da! in their articles. Mawruss.
it's hundred to one proposition that
them two words was all the Russian
they was equipped with to carry on
their conversations with them mou-
jiks."
For that matter the fellers which
writes the articles about the French
end Of the war don't seem to have had
. nervous breakdown from studying
French neither" Morris observed. All

the French which them fel1ers puts
into their writings is o. o. L, m'sieu.
which don't look to me to be any more
efficient as C. o. D., m'sieu. when It
comes to finding out from feller which
speaks only French what he thinks
about the war"
Sure, know" Abe agreed. 'but .
feller which writes such an article amt
aiming to tell what the French people
thinks about the war. He is only writ
ing what he thinks French people is
thinking about the warm fact. Nav
russ. I've yet got to see the war arti-
Gle which contains as much informa-
ton about the war and the people fight
ing in the war as about the feller which
is writing the article. and the conse-
quence is that after you put in a whole
evening reading such an article. you
find that you've learned lot Of facts
which might be Of interest to the war
correspondents family provided he has
sent them home money regularly every
week and otherwise behaved to them in
the past in such a manner that they
give a nickel whether he comes back
dead or alive
"Of course. there is exceptions, Abe"
Morris said. There is them articles
which gives an account Of the big bat
tie where if the allies would Of only
gone on fighting for one hour longer.
Abe. they would of busted through the
German line and the war would Of been
so to speak over"
What big battle was that, Mawrusso
Abe asked.
practically every biE>battle which 4
war correspondent has written an ar
ticle about since the war started" Nor
ris replied. land also while the article
don't exactly say SO, y'understand, it
leads you to believe that if the feller
which wrote it would of been running
the battle. Abe, things would Of been
very different. Then, again. there is
them articles which contains an ac-
count Of just to prove how cool the
English soldiers is. Abe. the war cor
respondent which wrote it heard about
a private which had the hiccoughs dur
ing the heavy gunfire and asks some
one to scare him SO that he can cure
his hiccoughs. which to me It don't
prove so much how cool the English
soldiers is as how some editors of
seemingly never go to NOV
ing picture vaudeville shows"
Editors amt got no time for such
nonsense. Mawruss." Abe said. They
got enough to keep 'em busy busheling
the jobs them war correspondents turns
in on them. Also. Mawruss. running
magazine in war times amt such q
cinch neither. Take in the old times
before the war and if trunk railroad

But you've got to hand it to these

TALKS 0F REPTILES
 CIVILIZATION AND
 ON DORT MOTOR GAR

If there had been automobiles in Saint Patrick's time, it would not have been necessary for him to drive the snakes from 1reland-they would have left of their own accord" says an of- ficial of the Dort Motor Car company.
 The motor car has spread civiliZa- tion to all corners of the earth. It has made remote regions accessible, cleared WilderneSSeS, extended cities and built villages. Creatures of the swamp and forest have had to move onto make way for good roads, new homes, gar dens, and fruit trees.
 Tt is now pretty generally acknowl- edged that the perfection of the auto mobile introduced a new standard of action. The importance of a mile de- bends upon how quickly it can be tra- versed. It has been made compara- lively unimportant by the automobile.
 And so the great work of expansion and development goes on, increasing as the number of automobiles in creases. Real estate has multiplied in value to many times the amount of money invested in motor cars. since motor cars came.
 These things the automobile did for us in normal times. We are now learn Ing what 1t means to us in war times when the utmost efficiency is essential and the lack of it a crime. Men now find extra burdens thrust upon them More must be done. It is imperative
 Tt is a matter of primary mathe- matics to figure out the difference be- tween the productive time of one man l who uses car and one man who does | not. It is then case of mere multi plication to arrive at the collective time-saving value of the some three million cars now in service in Amer | ica."

CONDITIONS CHANCE WITH WAR; FARMERS
 N0W OWN MACHINES

The aggressive automobile dealer who a year ago thought his time had come, is now reaping the benefits of the unfortunate circumstances which upset the industrial organization of the country and threatened to ruin his business
 Its an ill wind that blows no one good" says W. B. Riley, sales mana ger of the Jordan Motor Car company. "The working class of people are mak- ing more money than they ever made before. while the farmer, with a pro- duction of s26, 300, 100000, nearly seven billion more than the production Of 1916, is deriving about 100 per cent profit.
 Such conditions, of course, have brought about a marked change in the location of ready money. The man who formerly had a great deal and bought many liberty bonds, is now paying a higher discount and is pay ing more for the luxuries that he formerly enjoyed and has less to spend for them. But his place is being taken by the farmer and the worker who are benefiting by the large expen- ditures of money by the government, and spending their surplus for the lux uries formerly denied them.
 Hence, a new and virgin class of buyers has emerged from the unusual conditions of war times. At first the dealer was bit confused because the people who formerly had the money to buy hesitated, and the new class of buyers had not yet made itself felt.
 There is nothing more inspiring to the dealer than the opening up of a new field for selling. The trading sit nation is rapidly improving, not only for this reason but because the man.

 Frankly. l do not believe that any of these additions to the gasoline will do what the average maker claims. I do not doubt that there are liquids which when mixed with the fuel will give more power, but then nothing is said of the affect of the adulterant on the engine metal. The usual claims for such a thing as camphor balls( na- phthalen) are that it will give more power, and better economy, but have yet to find any truth in this statement.

ON SPARK PLUGS

Spark plugs are a source of much obscure ignition trouble, that car own CTS have great difficulty in locating. In many cases the insulating material used in the construction of the plug is porous, permitting electric leakage through the porcelain and also allow ing absorption of the carbon formed with each explosion, until finally the insulation changes it's properties en- tlrely. In such cases the car owner having cleaned his plugs and finding the trouble still existent, assigns it's source to some other part of the sys- tenn. In these circumstances the car owner is recommended to consult the service station of spark plug man. ufacturer and get a plug equipment which is especially adapted to his car.

Fred Jackson, the author of "A Full
House." and other eN
"The tremely successful plays,
Naughty will be presented by Sell
Wife" wyn and Company at the
Orpheum Theater to-
night. 1t is said the play comes here
exactly as presented in New York

Reeva Greenwood, Belle Darcy, Fred
erick Sumner CASTOR Bell, Henry
Keen. Emile Collins and others, all
of whom are well known to those
who follow the affairs of the theater.
The farce has been pronounced by
critics to be of exceptional merit. Ger
tain it is, that the unqualified sup
port accorded it by theaterSoers
wherever it has been presented. gives
added weight to the assertion.
Selwyn and Company have long
since made an unmatched record for
skill in producing this kind of play.
1t will be many years before such
farces as Twin Beds" and Fair and
Warmer" both of which were pre-
sented by these managers, are forgot

clare The Naughty Wife" to be their
most successful farce. The statement
is a guarantee of its worth.
