PLEASING PROGRAM :.
 AT FOX'S THEATER

An exceptionally pleasing program afternoon and evening and will be presented every performance today and Saturday. Harry Carey in Bret Harte's character of John Oakhurst endeared himself to the audience by his wonderful interpretation ' of the gentleman gambler who sacrifices all his own love and desire in order that his adopted may be happy. The story is chuck full of tense situations and dramatic moments that gradually lead up to one of the finest climaNes ever introduced into the photo drama ''The Tigers TraiP' comes to Close the last three days in the final chapter, which has been very proper ly called "Tiger Face' The initial chapter of "The Great Gamble" bids fair to outstrp anything ever at tempted in serial production.
 The likable Mutt & Jeff animated cartoons together with the News complete the picture bill. The Musi- cal Five have a big-time string quin- tet that is exceptionally pleasing.
 What they can not accomplish in syncopated melody has not been done by the famous Jim Europe himself. Howard has wonderfully trained dog that deports himself in man. ner that is almost human in its in- telligence. The Telegraph Four have quartet of good value. Mona Jack son, doing a lone act, proved her. self capable and pleasing.

WAR LESSONS FAVOR
LIGHTER WEIGHT
Engineers Get Much Informa-
ton From Aviation Work
During Past Year.

Taking the discussions among en-
eineers as an indication of the present
status Of automobile design. it appears
that the question Of light weight is to
come in for a good deal of attention
In the immediate future" says Glenn A.
Tisdale OF the Franklin Company in this
city. Especially at the New York show.
where the automotive engineers held
their annual meeting, was this tendency
brought out clearly.
"Some OF the engineers think that air
cooling will be one Of the big develop
ments OF tho future. This system has
been employed for sixteen years on the
Franklin car with success. The opinion
Of these authorities Is based on certain
research in the airplane field, which
made the point that lighter engines per
uni of power were possible by elimin-
ating all the apparatus and heavier con-
.struotion that n water cooling system
entails.
Almost TO o man. the engineers say
that one OF tho big lessons of the war
experience has been the demonstration
OF the ability to build lighter weight con-
struction and at the same time main
tain a higher guilty OF performance and
reliability. The growing popularity OF
light weight was amplihed by a report
showing that the gasolene supply for
years TO come could not be expected
to improve either as to quality or guam
tity. The need for economical operation
will therefore be even more pressing

AFTER BETTER FERRY SERVICE

Better ferry service between New Jer-

mediate relief for motor traffic conges-
ton IL being sought by the highways
transport committee OF the New Jersey
Council OF Defence. This action Is the
result of a suggestion to the committee
by the Manufacturers Association OF
Newark. as transportation Is said to be
seriously handicapped by ferry delays.
The Jersey City Chamber OF Commerce
and the Motor Truck Club OF New Jer-
sey have already given their cooperation
TO the movement.
The plan which was outlined at a re-
cent meeting OF the Jersey highways
transport committee, and which was sug-
Rested by Thomas J. wasser OF Jersey
City, Hudson County Engineer and the
engineer member OF the committee, Is
for census OF motor traffic over the
ferries. TO include both motor trucks and
pa ssenger cars.
Cards with blank space on which to
record the time consumed in a trip from
one point to another. which takes in
passage over the ferry and upon which
delay at the ferry may be noted, are to
be put in circulation within a week and
will be distributed to motor truck driv-
ers and passenger car operators to fill
out. The cards will have a return ad-

There's not even standing room for
pessimists in the tire business to-day"
recently remarked Louis Rosenberg, di-
,, ctor OF sales and advertising for the

Optimism is the keynote OF the whole
tire industry and especially so OF our
company. 1t permeates every depart
n,ent and every individual OF our organ
ization.
1--WE entered into 1919 with the bright
est future for record breaking sales dur
ing our whole career. The future holds
possibilities limited only by the capaci-
tics for production, distribution and
abilities to meet the demand.
I'VE did a record breaking business

their cars, and 1t IL very dflcSlt to
anticipate just how Overwhelming the
d,mand for Keystone tires will be dur

the entire Keystone factory is working
ut full capacity, double shifts. and even
under these conditions we cannot sup
ply the demand.
"In the very near future the Per-
lection Tire Plant at Fort Madison,
ia. will be ready TO turn out keystone
tires at the rate of 5000 a day. and
this will relieve the situation greatly.
with the Keystone tires new pop

industry as the motor car building trade
itself? Last year $4,000. 900 tires were
made, the value of which Is placed at
$3.50, 600. 900. The increase of automo-
bile registration Is an evidence of the
growing favor of motoring everywhere
among people in every walk OF life. This
Is clearly proved by the interesting sta

Tires have come into such a great

so far experienced great success. for
tires are easy TO sell.
