AT THE RIALTO.

Those WllmlngtOnians VINO nave
heard the marvellous Anna Case sing
and delighted in the rich beauty OF her
voice and appearance. were and were
not surprised at her appearance In the
film play "The Hidden Truth" at the
Rialto yesterday. They were surprised
IN this way that while they delighted In
the voice Of the singer they never
thought OF her as an actress In the
screen profession. And they were not
surprised because when they heard her
she seemed to possess such an ease OF
manner and much self-possession thal
there Is little wonder that this coupled
with her beauty should make her 50
charming on the screen even though
her voice could not be heard.
"The Hidden Truth" has the scenes
OF It's story laid in the West where Miss
Case appears as a cabaret entertainer
in a saloon loaihing yet compelled TO
do the work. An opportunity almost
unheard OF comes into her life and sne

BETTER
IN SOME CASES
Popularity of Pneumatics
for Trucks Doesn't Mean
Solid Tires Will Go.

1T is coming 10 be generally known
that different fields Of motor truck
service require different types Of tire
equipment" said an FL Paso tire
dealer. For instance. It is fairly well
known that solid rubber tires are
economical equipment on trucks en-
gagged in slow speed. heavy duty serv-
ice and that pneumatics give good re-
turns in long distance transport. In
terurban freighting and general
trucking where cushioning and trac-
ton are essential These two major
types Of tires find their greatest use
fulness in separate classes Of service.
There is, however. another type Of
tire, designed after years Of research
by tire engineers, meeting the needs
Of light trucks Obliged TO run re
Quently over bad paVements ana
roads. This is the Goodyear cushion
type of truck tire. so called because
Of the ample cushiOning effect it pro-
vides for both load and truck mechan-
ism.
1T is neither a pneumatic nor
solid, but a modification Of both. IN
appearance resembling a solid. II is
constructed Of exceedingly tough rub
Der. is much softer and more resilient
than a solid, with an egg shaped hol-
low running around the tire Just in
side the base This hollow takes care
Of the distorted rubber as it rolls
along the street
These tires are best adapted for
use on all the wheels on three-fourth
ton and one ton trucks and on the
front wheels OF one and one-half ton
and two ton trucks operating at
speeds up to % miles an hour. a long
period was devoted to road tests be-
fore they were offered TO the public,
and now several years OF exacting
service attest their worth under many
difficult conditions
"A specially notable feature is the
tenacious construction which holds
the tire firm to the rim. Hooklike
nanges hold the tire in a gripping
wise, so that no matter what the road
conditions. the tire adheres tenacious
~ TO its rim.
IN actual service mileages ranging
from $4,000 TO 5000 have been record
ed But the larger saving effected by
reduced vibration and increaed haul
ing radius. must not be overlooked in
computing Its value to the truck own
er. Owing TO their unusual cushion
ing qualities they are valued as much
for their reduction Of mechanical re-
pair expense as for the life OF the
tires themselves"

TRUCKS
REACH MARKET
Local Dealer Says Appear
ance of Used Truck In
dictates Increase.

For the first time in the history Of
the motor truck industry, this season
is seeing the used truck become a
problem for motor truck dealers. But
this condition is not indicative Of any
saturation Of the motor truck market
Rather it points to a new and more
interested attitude toward motor
trucks.
we are finding more sales this
year In which a used motor truck is
figured on the turnin than ever
before in our experience says
I. c. Perry. Of the Lone star Motor
company, local dealers for GMC
trucks. Personally. am glad TO see
il. for believe that Il shows more in
interest on the part OF merchants ana
business men in motor trucks. IN
other words. firms that have been US
ing motor trucks not only are buying
more trucks this year, but they also
are replacing trucking equipment with
new models.
Vow. If these firms were not con-
WINGED Of the big advantages OF up to
date equipment. they would not do
this They might be sold on the mo-
tor truck as q transportation unit and
unless they believed thoroughly in the
OF up 20 date trucking
equipment they would be inclined TO
wear ont the old trucks. Rut. instead,
they are turning In trucks that still
have years Of service left in them and
selecting the newest models
"Of course. from The dealers side Of
the matter. the used truck creates a
new problem and ore that IS fraught
with far more difficulties than have
confronted passenger car dealers.
Used passenger cars sell easily. They
do not represent the Investment Of
a used truck and they can be bright
ened up 70 the poilt where they are
attractive. Moreover. a used passen-
ger car in even fair condition has a
definite market. It answers the pur-
pose Of the motor car owner who does
usage.
not plan TO give his car hard. daily
on the other hand. a motor truck
must do hard work. new or old That's
its function. Moreover. a used motor
truck. in good condition. represents
a considera BILE outlay OF money. These
things make It more difficult for a
dealer to resell used motor trucks"

MORE STRESS
LAID ON OIL
Auto Manufacturers Are
Giving Increased Atten-
ton to Lubricants.

Investigations recorded over given
periods by auto manufacturers and
repairmen reveal the fact that about
50 percent OF all motor troubles may
be traced to poor lubricants or lack
Of proper lubricants" states Ben
Clements. manager OF the Borderland
Auto supply company.
Manufacturers OF cars are being
forced by keen competition TO give
patrons the best on every line" con-
tinues 1Ir. Clements. For that rea-
son auto manufacturers are giving
more attention 10 oil used in motors
than ever before-they must get the
best results.
1T IS 2 mistake for car owners, too,
to believe that It is economy to buy
the oil that Is 10 be obtained for the
least cents Rather the quality should
be considered for the oil that avoids
most trouble is the cheapest after all
1T is significant that large num-
Der Of auto manufacturers recommend
Monogram oil Many testify like ].
B. Dickson, superintendent Of the
Automobile Sales corporation, who IN
a recent letter recommends il TO all
car owners. No less q person that
cier. reports running a Franklin over
y. 1000 miles with an unusually low
amount of carbon. which he accredits
10 use OF monogram oil. The mechanic
who first worked on M Gray's car,
after running 1880 miles without re-
moving the carbon. and without
knowing what kind OF oil had been
used. remarked that the amount Of
carbon was unusually low.
Trouble to car owners frequently
comes from lack OF lubricants as well
as the quality used While there Is
such a thing as using too much oil. a
large percent OF motor troubles come
from using too little.
